She's technically not even a newborn function wise because she was a preemie. But I've been trying since last night. She was sleeping when she got here, and that was fine for a little bit but my dog started barking and it woke her up and freaked her out a little bit. Since then I've tried everything I can think of to calm her down. I've tried a bottle, a couple of hours ago and now, rocking her, wrapping her up, holding her, I even tried a bath but I think that made it worse. Did I miss anything that usually helps or what? I really can't think of anything else, and I just want her to calm down.

Replies countryLuv Posted at 6:55 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 try the rock and walk (gently rock her while you walk) DADDYS LITTLE GIRL Posted at 4:45 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 diaper change and a pacifier audrey820 Posted at 10:25 am on Sep. 28, 2008 As long as you're sure she isn't wet or hungry or sick, she probably just needs to be comforted. Hold her in your arms and move her sort of up and down. It's kind of jiggly. Make shhing noises, they can be soothing and remind the baby of the womb. Or try putting her kind of on your shoulder and rubbing her back. That's soothing to the baby and will help if she has any gas. Make sure it's quiet and if anything is on, it's soft music. Nothing too bright either. Jennyhynz7 Posted at 9:52 am on Sep. 28, 2008 cuddle her/hold her and walk around and play soothing music while doing it RIMHfire Posted at 9:49 am on Sep. 28, 2008 Just rock her till she calms down. Otherwise all you have to do is let her cry it out, then she'll fall asleep.
