1. Calm your baby's crying by removing toys from the crib
It often happens that the baby cries because he is disturbed in his sleep by elements that surround him, such as a toy left in the cradle or a simple music box.
When you place it in the cradle, eliminate the soft toys and other toys, remove the music boxes immediately: in this way you will avoid that the baby, moving in his sleep, can collide with them and wake up, starting a desperate cry again.
2. Wrap your baby in a blanket

3. Repeat a little ritual

It can be something very simple, like singing him a lullaby or hugging him in a certain way, or even placing his favorite soft toy next to him (only to remove him once he is asleep).
The important thing is that the rite always remains the same and does not change, or it will no longer have its soothing power.
4. Keep it close to you
Holding the baby in your arms is very important in the first months of life. It will first of all help him in the digestion process.
