How to calm a 8-months-old baby?

No mother wants her kid to get upset. However, children don`t grow without tears and whims. At the age of eight months, when the baby can`t talk, tears are still the main way to express his discontent, desires and requests. It is very important to find out the real cause of crying, which may be physiological or pathological. Physiologically, tears may result from the desire to sleep and eat, communicate or capture attention. Pathological causes may arise from painful conditions like teething, disease, or abdominal pain. Physiological causes of crying are solved simply enough, but in case of pathological causes, a pediatrician should be consulted, especially when the baby is sick.
If the child is crying, you should take him in your arms and caress him. Keep calm and be patient. Take care of the baby`s dieting and sleeping schedule, thus reducing the causes for whims.
