Eid is just around the corner. The flow of homecoming will soon occur as in previous years. For Moms and Dads who want to go on a homecoming trip with their baby, they must pay attention to several important things so that the baby will not be fussy. Well, MAKUKU will discuss the causes and ways to overcome fussy babies during the homecoming trip.
Causes of Fussy Babies
Fussy babies can be a challenge for parents, especially during a long homecoming trip or in a new situation. In order to better handle the situation, it is important to understand the causes. Here are some common causes of fussy babies:
1. Hunger
A hungry baby will become fussy and restless. Make sure to feed or breastfeed your baby regularly, especially during travel or when in a new place.
2. Thirst
Thirst can also make a baby fussy. Make sure to give breast milk or formula regularly and provide drinking water if the baby is old enough to drink it.
3. Tired
Tired babies also tend to be fussy. Try to create a calm and comfortable environment so that the baby can rest well.
4. Bored
Bored babies can also become fussy. Provide age-appropriate stimulation, such as toys or interaction with parents, to entertain and distract them.
5. Full Diaper
Full or dirty diapers can make the baby uncomfortable and cause discomfort. Always make sure to change diapers regularly, especially when traveling.
6. Pain
Physical pain or discomfort such as flatulence or teething can make a baby fussy. Watch for signs of discomfort and consult a doctor if needed.
7. Uncomfortable in a New Setting
Babies may feel anxious or uncomfortable when in a new environment, such as when traveling or visiting a new place. Provide extra support and allow time for the baby to adapt to the new atmosphere.
How to Handle a Fussy Baby during Homecoming
Homecoming is often a long-awaited moment to gather with family. However, for parents with babies, the trip can be a challenge because babies tend to fuss on the way. Don't worry, here are seven ways to overcome a fussy baby during the homecoming trip so that the trip becomes more comfortable and smooth:
Put Baby to Sleep
If the baby is fussy because they feel tired or sleepy, try to help put them to sleep. Try to create a calm and comfortable environment in the vehicle, for example by lowering the light intensity or utilizing soft pillows as baby's bedding.
Giving Favorite Toys
Babies are often distracted by their favorite toys. When the baby starts to fuss, try to give him his favorite toy to distract him and make him calmer during the trip.
Hug Baby Comfortably
When baby feels anxious or uncomfortable during the trip, a hug from parents can provide a sense of security and comfort. Hug your baby with tenderness and care, and give him a gentle touch to soothe his heart.
Play Soothing Music
Music can have a calming effect on babies. Play soft, calm music in the vehicle to help ease baby's anxiety. Choose music that is not too loud or fast-paced so as not to make the baby more agitated.
Stop for a Break
If the journey is too long, stop for a moment to give baby and family a break. Use this break to give the baby something to eat or drink, change diapers if needed, or simply give the baby time to move around and stretch their legs.
Be Patient and Calm
The most important thing is to stay calm and patient during the trip. Babies can sense a parent's energy and mood, so try to stay calm even if the baby is fussy. Remember that this is only temporary, and soon moms and dads will arrive at their destination safely.
Changing Diapers
Make sure to always bring a complete baby kit, including diapers and wipes. Fussy babies are often caused by disturbed comfort, one of which is due to full or dirty diapers. By changing diapers regularly, Moms and dads can help maintain baby's comfort during the trip.
In addition, make sure your little one uses comfortable and highly absorbent diapers such as MAKUKU SAP Diapers. MAKUKU anti clump diapers are designed with SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) technology that makes diapers absorb quickly and evenly across the surface.
The thinner and more comfortable MAKUKU diapers can also keep baby's skin moist, the surface of the diaper dry and reduce the risk of diaper rash. So, Moms and Dads will have more peace of mind during the homecoming trip with your little one.
By applying several ways to overcome a fussy baby during homecoming above, hopefully Moms and Dads homecoming trip with baby will be smoother and more enjoyable. Happy family gathering and happy holidays! (Aq/MKK)
