Crying and fussing in babies are often a way of expressing a need or discomfort. As parents, it can be difficult to understand what your child is going through, but you should know that there are natural solutions to calm his anxieties and reinforce his sense of security. At Santi-Shop, we have the right products and caring tips to help your baby through these delicate moments in his psycho-affective development.
The importance of emotional security: the basis for calming anxiety
Babies are born with a deep need for emotional security. This is where attachment theory comes in: a child who feels secure with his or her main attachment figures (often parents) is better able to manage his or her emotions later on.
A few tips to strengthen your baby's emotional security
Physical closeness: hold your baby in your arms when he cries. Skin-to-skin contact or cradling your baby in a sling provides reassuring support and reminds him of the sensations he experienced in utero.
Rocking: gentle, regular movements (as in a swing or rocking chair) help calm the nervous system.
Speak softly : A soothing voice, accompanied by kind words, comforts baby by showing him that you're there for him.
These simple gestures create a framework where baby can explore his emotions while feeling supported. Winnicott, the famous pediatrician and psychoanalyst, spoke of the "good enough mother": the one who offers a reassuring presence while respecting her child's unique needs and intimate space.
Orange blossom floral water: a gentle, natural solution
Orange blossom floral water is an invaluable ally in calming tension in little ones. By adding a small amount of floral water to your baby's bottle (just a few drops are enough), you can promote a relaxing effect. Orange blossom, renowned for its calming properties, is a natural solution for babies who are restless or have trouble falling asleep.
Be sure to choose a pure, organic-quality floral water, such as those available on our Santi-Shop store.
The Guardian Angel complex: natural emotional comfort
For children who are particularly sensitive or going through difficult times (change of home, separation, starting nursery school, etc.), the BIO 19G Guardian Angel granules complex is an invaluable aid.
Why choose the Ange Gardien complex?
It is specially designed to soothe the emotions of sensitive children.
Bach Flower Remedies such as Aspen, Gentian and Mimulus work synergistically to reduce fears, boost confidence and promote optimism.
How do I use it?
Melt 3 to 4 granules in your child's mouth, or dilute in a glass of water.
Repeat 4 times a day for 1 to 4 weeks. In the event of an attack, you can give a dose every 15 minutes.
This complex is made from organically grown ingredients, respecting your child's health and the environment.
Other natural tips to calm baby
Massage relaxant : a gentle massage with an organic vegetable oil (such as calendula oil) can relax baby's muscles and calm his mind.
Warm bath: add a few drops of suitable essential oils (such as fine lavender) in baby's bath for a soothing effect. Take care to respect the dosage for young children, and above all to dilute them in a dispersant!
A soothing atmosphere: Reduce stimuli by creating a calm environment with subdued lighting and soft music.
Reassuring scent: A comforter or garment bearing your scent (a transitional object) can reassure your baby, especially when you're away.
