How to calm a crying baby in under a minute
Soothing a calming baby can seem like an impossible task for a new parent.
But this paediatrician shows just how easy it can be with his technique called 'The Hold'.
Dr Robert Hamilton's video above shows babies who are having a terrible time after their immunisation shots - he's able to calm them down in less than 30 seconds.
Holding the baby at a 45-degree angle, supporting their bums and under their chins, he gently rocks them to their happy place. The highlight: when he takes one patient and shakes "his little booty".
The most important part: “Everything you do is very gentle. You don’t want to do jerking motions—ever.”
