Fussy Babies
April 14, 2011
If it hasn't been in the hands... and the body... It can't be in the brain.

- The goodness of fit between a primary caregiver and an infant is a connection that helps support the hard-to-settle baby by reducing the number of staff that baby must adjust to.
- Primary caregivers also offer a consistent relationship to families that facilitate the development of trust, helping to reduce a parent’s stress and concern over the transition to care outside of the home.
- Far and away the most commonly mentioned practice was that of swaddling the baby in a blanket (if permitted by licensing).
- Classical and soft jazz music were also commonly mentioned as well as sound relaxers, as they seem to help provide a calmer atmosphere in the baby room.
- Taking advantage of fresh air and going outside may be helpful as is infant massage (although this should not be done when the baby is in the middle of a crying spell).
- Teachers tell us that despite the challenges of dealing with a fussy baby, their ability to be consistent in their practice and maintain a positive spirit aids them in their work.
These are not your typical training DVDs. No scripts. No staged events. Imagine sitting down for a one-on-one conversation with some of the leaders in the field of early care and education. Imagine them presenting at your next class, staff development, or training session. This is the concept behind Voices on DVD. |
