😭 Taming the evening witching hour meltdown

Action plan

1. 1. What to prepare

   Offer responsive feeding, a clean nappy and gentle soothing. Skin-to-skin and carrying are for an awake, attentive adult with baby’s airway visible.

2. 2. What to check

   If overwhelmed, place baby on their back in a safe cot and take a short break or ask for help. Never shake. Sudden unusual crying, fever, poor feeding or breathing difficulty needs medical assessment.

3. 3. In Singapore

   For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.
