Practical calming strategies, from swaddling and skin-to-skin contact to soothing movement and white noise
How to spot the signs of an overtired baby before they spiral into full-on meltdowns

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what to do if a baby is crying, how to keep your little one in a calm-alert state for longer, and when it’s time to seek extra help.
