Article: Babies are gassier than adults, and this can lead to pain and discomfort. a. To burp your baby, all you have to do is hold him/her in your left arm, having the side of his/her face on your shoulder. Then, pat your baby's back gently until you hear a burp. Rubbing your baby's back from the bottom upward can also help ease your baby's pain. But just picking up your baby will often help. Make sure that the clothes are not too tight or pinching your child. Tags or seams may be another issue. Make sure that the clothes are of a comfortable material. Additionally, your baby may be feeling too hot or cold in the clothes. Feel your baby's skin and make sure this isn't a factor. Your baby may just be fussy because you are doing something new and he/she doesn't like it. Maybe you switched to a different brand of formula, maybe you took your baby for a walk earlier than usual, or maybe you're spending time in a new part of the house your baby isn't used to. Though you can't stick to the same routine forever, you should note that this can be contributing to the baby's fussiness. If you're trying to make a change, you can try to ease the baby into it, by going for a walk 15 minutes earlier every day instead of taking a walk 2 hours earlier one day, for example. One reason for your baby to be fussy is just that he/she may be tired. If you see him/her yawning or just seeming restless, then put him/her down for a nap. Your baby may not be aware of the fact that he/she needs more rest, but you should let him/her calm down, turn off the lights, and soothe him/her until he/she is ready for sleep. Even if your baby is acting very fussy and is active, this may be a sign that he/she feels overworked and needs some help calming down. Another reason why your baby may be fussy is because there may be too much going on at home. Maybe you have a loud TV or music on, maybe the lights are too bright, maybe there are too many people around or maybe there are just too many toys in your baby's crib. This is a major reason for a baby to get fussy, and if you suspect that this is the case, then you may need to simplify things and reduce the noise and excitement around the house for a while to calm your fussy baby. See what an impact turning down the sound or the lights may have on your baby. You'd be surprised by how much better your baby may instantly feel. If you are introducing new people to the baby, try to do it one at a time in a calm, gentle way. Your baby is likely to feel overwhelmed and fussy if there are ten new relatives hovering over him all at once. Or it is in the middle of a loud restaurant rather than a quiet living room. One reason why your baby might be crying or wailing is simply because he/she is feeling neglected and wants more attention. This can happen if your baby has been alone for a while, if you haven't made physical contact for a few hours, or if you're just not giving your child enough time. If this is the case, then you should hold, kiss, hug, or just spend time with your baby. This can help ease the fussiness pretty quickly, if this is your baby's reason for being upset. If your baby is crying, ask yourself when the last time you held your baby was. If more than a few hours have passed, then you should give your baby more physical affection immediately. Not all cries should be treated alike. This takes time and attention, but as you get to know your fussy baby, you will be able to distinguish between his/her various cries. One cry may mean he/she is hungry, while another may let you know he/she is wet. Though each baby is different, it is important to know that hungry babies tend to quietly fuss and squirm, and to escalate their cries as their hunger increases. A baby who is feeling pain, whether it's from illness, gas, or teething, will have a more piercing cry along with a pained look. The more attuned you are to your baby's needs and to what he/she is telling you, the more easily you'll be able to soothe your baby.

Make sure that the font is all upper-case or capital letters. Most of the lettering on Keep Calm posters is white, but if you used a really pale background, or yellow, you might want to make the letters darker. You can also make the last word a different color. The traditional poster used a crown, but if you are making your own poster with your own phrase, you can use a different image. Whatever image you do use, however, make sure that it is a silhouette, and the same color as the font.
