By this age, most parents can figure out why their baby is crying. If you cannot, the child may be sick. Try a warm bath, baby massage with a lavender lotion, or maybe Tylenol if nothing else works. Also, try walking or rocking. Dancing, singing. Repetitive movement can be very soothing.
Hug with baby over your shoulder, or hold baby, rock in a rocking chair.
