Hack for Calming a Crying Baby: The 5 S’s

When your baby is crying and nothing seems to work, try the **5 S’s**: Swaddle, Side/Stomach position, Shush, Swing, and Suck. Swaddle your baby snugly, hold them on their side or stomach (while awake), make a shushing sound near their ear, gently swing or rock them, and offer a pacifier for sucking. This combination mimics the womb environment and can work wonders to calm a fussy baby.
