Dr. Hamilton’s method of soothing a crying baby, what does it consist of?
The Hold is the method that Dr. Hamilton has invented to stop the baby’s crying most of the time, will it work?
In recent days, the video in which Dr. Robert Hamilton, a pediatrician from Santa Monica (California), shows what seems to be an infallible formula to calm the crying of a child has become viral.
His technique is based on a way of holding babies that seems to stop their crying immediately. The Doctor called her ‘The Hold’, which in Spanish would be something like ‘The bra’. Take note if you want to try it with your baby:
First, she takes the baby’s arms and crosses them over her own chest. Then, with one hand, he holds the baby’s arms, to keep them closed and also holds his chin, which is supported by the doctor’s hand. With the other hand, hold the baby by the bottom, giving him support . It positions it at a 45-degree tilt, so that the baby’s head goes forward, where it is supported. Finally, she rocks him gently and in the video it is seen as the baby, almost automatically, stops crying.
Without a doubt, this video will have attracted the attention of many, since the crying of babies is one of the things that can most despair parents. However, the doctor himself acknowledges that this maneuver could only be carried out during the first three months , before the baby weighs too much. It also reports that it may not work in case the baby is hungry or in the presence of some health problem.
