How To Use This CD

Crying, Fussy or Colicky Baby:

Begin by making sure that your baby is not sick, hungry, wet, dressed in uncomfortable clothing or dressed improperly for temperature conditions. Swaddle your baby. Play the Hush Baby CD at a loud setting to capture your baby’s attention. You must play the CD louder than your baby’s crying. As soon as your baby begins to calm down, adjust the volume to a more comfortable setting.

Important:

Chronic crying may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. The first step should be to have your baby evaluated by a pediatrician. Keep in mind that a young baby requires a great deal of sleep. It is imperative that your baby does not become overtired. Put your baby down for a nap at the first sign of tiredness (approximately every two hours).

Other Soothing Techniques to Incorporate:

• Properly swaddle your baby so that his/her arms are not flailing.
• Carry your baby in a sling or use an infant swing on the highest setting.
• Use a pacifier.
• Dim the lights.

Sleep Training (4 months and older):

Schedule daily naps to keep your baby from becoming overtired. Choose an early bedtime (5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.). Establish a consistent and calming bedtime routine. Play the Hush Baby CD at naptime and at bedtime to establish continuity and to signal that it is time to sleep.
