Being consistent in your approach from "summary" of The Fussy Baby Book by William Sears,Martha Sears
Consistency in your approach is crucial when it comes to dealing with a fussy baby. This means sticking to a routine and responding to your baby's needs in a similar manner each time. Consistency helps your baby feel secure and understand what to expect, which can help reduce fussiness in the long run. When you are consistent in your approach, your baby learns to trust you and feels more comfortable in their environment. This can lead to a happier baby who is less likely to become fussy or irritable. Consistency also helps you as a parent by providing a sense of predictability in your day-to-day interactions with your baby. Consistency in your approach involves responding to your baby's cries and cues promptly and in a similar manner each time. This could mean feeding your baby at the same times each day, putting them down for naps at consistent times, or using the same soothing techniques when they are upset. By being consistent, you are teaching your baby what to expect and how to communicate their needs effectively. It's important to remember that consistency does not mean rigidity. It's okay to be flexible and adapt to your baby's changing needs, but try to maintain a general routine and respond to their cues in a consistent manner. This will help your baby feel secure and understood, which can lead to less fussiness and more contentment. Consistency in your approach requires patience and dedication, but the benefits for both you and your baby are well worth the effort. By establishing a routine and responding to your baby's cues consistently, you can help reduce fussiness and create a more peaceful and harmonious environment for your family.
