Читать книгу The Fussy Baby Book: Parenting your high-need child from birth to five - Martha Sears - Страница 40

It’s frustrating to realize that what worked yesterday doesn’t work today. “Just as I think I am winning, he ups the stakes”, a baffled mother confided. High-need babies are inconsistently appeased because their nervous systems are poorly organized. You will need lots of variety in your bag of comforting tricks.

Rocking, walking, using carriers, singing lullabies, tummy position, back position, side position, infant seats, dummies, tilting the mattress of the bed, bringing him to bed with us, cuddling him on breasts or bare chest, bathing him just before sleep time, hot water bottles wrapped inside a fake fur animal, letting him stay awake until midnight before bedtime routines, starting right after dinner, letting him cry, not letting him cry – nothing seemed to work. Some of these things worked some of the time; nothing worked all the time. This is very frustrating; you wonder what you are doing wrong.
