Crying and unsettled babies

Listen on

Episode notes

Have you had the experience of holding a baby and they just won't stop crying? Soothing an unsettled baby can be a trying task for anyone, particularly new parents. Crying is a baby's way of communicating with us, but when the crying doesn't stop, how do we know when to seek help? In this episode we're joined by expert paediatrician, Dr Valerie Sung, who works in the RCH unsettled babies clinic, to go through the common experiences for parents with unsettled babies and when and where to find help. As always, if you found this podcast helpful, please leave a review so that other families can find out about our show. Thanks for listening.
