18 month-old baby brother wont stop screaming and crying. Help!?

Question

My 18 month brother wont stop crying and screaming! He saw his parents leave and has been screaming for about 5 min! What do I do? Please help!

Answer 1

Pick him up and give him attention. Don't forget to feed him.

Answer 2

Go get whatever is his favorite thing and play with him.  My son loves baths so I give him a bath if he gets very upset.  Depending on how old you are and if he is well behaved in the tub it may not be a good idea.

I woudl not mention mom/dad cause he will more than likely start again. Is he hungry?

Good luck

Answer 3

try giving him a snack or one of his favorite toys. Maybe take him for a walk or something. Just  find something to take his mind off of it.  

Answer 4

That happened to me eariler with my baby cousin; they need to express their feelings by crying; there is not much that you can do in the start. After they calm down, reassure them that they will come back later and that "mommy and daddy" need to go do some things. He may start up again, but give him toys, try playing games, put on a children's show, anything that will distract them.

Good luck!

Answer 5

First, calm yourself down.  Make sure he is in a safe place like a play pen etc that he can't get out of, and then go just count to 10 and breathe.  You will have to be able to deal with him without letting him stress you.

Pick him up, rock him, or put him down on the floor where he can do his tantrum there. Also make sure his diaper is changed, he has a bottle, cheerios etc.  Play some soothing music or even vacum if you have too (babies stop crying for some reason) Just remember that he's just a baby and is doing what babies do.  Good Luck!

Answer 6

Awww pick him up and cuddle him don't forget he thinks his mum and dad hve deserted him. check nappy if hungry thirsty ect and just stay with him. good luck. Sometimes we all need a cuddle
