For the first time since his birth we had an inconsolable baby. An hour of crying. It was terribly distressing. We tried a warm bath which made it worse. We changed him. I tried feeding him. Nothing worked.
In desperation, we searched the internet. Success. It turns out that a hairdryer consoles an inconsolable baby. Or, slightly more environmentally friendly, an eight hour recording of white noise.
It would be good if it worked for adults too. Heart wrenching listening to a little one crying xxx
ReplyDeleteIt does! Well, it does for me anyway, as I discovered last night. :-) And yes, it is heart wrenching. Guess it has to be, otherwise we'd ignore them and that would be bad...
