How do you calm down your baby?
First, I have to ask, Mama, how are you? The most important thing is, wherever you are in your parenting stage, you are doing your best! Kudos to you for your unending courage and effort.
Our sweet boy is now passing the second quarter of life. One of the most difficult periods. He has started his weaning thing. I am busy with his food schedule. I spend more time reading materials and listening to YouTube videos related to his second quarter.
He is now experiencing different textures, trying different postures, and truly going through a tough time. Sometimes I feel tired all day. Today, I love to ask a similarly experienced mama about the “calm down your baby”.
However, I feel incredibly proud, and sometimes I struggle to imagine the superpower I have now. Above all, I have a great power of calming down a restless little soul. (I know, all mamas are doing this) Isn’t it a superpower? hahaa!
When I am cuddling my baby boy, sometimes I think, “I am a random, very ordinary person. What do I have with me? ” But to this little boy, I am the best; his whole world revolves around me. I am his safest and sweetest place.
What deep emotions! It carries me to heaven.
I have seen, how my boy is fighighting for sleep, I go to him and just hold his finger or close him to my breast, the way he calms down is unimaginable.
When I am not in his vicinity, I can see his restless eyes searching for Mama. In such moments, I remove the cushion from his crib, and now he sees me directly. My wave or a move is more than enough for him to calm down his restless soul. He earnestly looks at every single movement I make, and surprisingly, he calms down as a saint.
A couple of days ago, I was having pains in my shoulders, which were severe. I was just lying on the bed, my little boy was lying by my side, playing with a toy. So, I asked my husband to apply the medicated plasters to the affected shoulder area to relieve pain. He came to me and applied plaster, my sweet little boy he who was barely six months old. All of a sudden, he crawled towards me and leaned towards me.
Could he understand my pain? What did he feel? In fact, He did not leave me. And we were looking at each other. Certainly, tears filled my eyes. “Every day you are teaching me who I am, sweetheart! ” I murmured!
I know my whole existence calms him down.
