Making it stop is the holy grail of parenting. -Here we have a crying baby... Enter Dr. Robert Hamilton. 23 million people have seen him perform a miracle. - I fold his right arm like this and then his left arm in front, and then very gently hold his whole bottom and gently rock him up and down just like that. - Is this magic? That baby just stopped crying! - Who is this doctor? Or should I say magician? We're in Santa Monica to ask the magician pediatrician how he became the baby whisperer. -When I examine a child in the hospital or here in my office I frequently make them cry. Over the years I've been able to really perfect this method of holding them and it works well. We've brought him em up and down very gently sometimes we stir him to the left and we stir him to the right. But how does this magic work? -Dr. Hamilton believes that this technique works because it mimics the babies? experience in the womb. -By folding the baby's arms across its chest it creates a sense of containment so that's a sense of familiarity for them. -The gentle rocking motion mimics the sensation of floating inside the amniotic sac. - So what I do is I take one hand like that, other hand like that, and very gently hold her at about a 45-degree angle. -The 45-degree angle has nothing to do with comforting the baby and everything to do with interesting the baby. -It's almost as though the baby's going ?Oh hello world. This is new. I like it.? -Suddenly they're at this angle that they're not used to experiencing. Usually they're on their backs to see the ceiling, they see some faces coming over? -This combination of the familiar and the new provides a lot of different stimuli that overwhelm the babies? instinct to cry. -I've had four babies and I wish I had known about the hold all the times. -Hopefully this is helpful to you. Thank you for your attention. My best to your family. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION O choro de um bebê foi eleito um dos piores sons da Terra. Fazê-lo parar é o santo graal da parentalidade. -Aqui temos um bebê chorando ... Entra o Dr. Robert Hamilton. Vinte e três milhões de pessoas já viram ele realizar um milagre. - Eu dobro seu braço direito assim e então seu braço esquerdo na frente, e então gentilmente seguro toda a sua parte inferior e balanço-o suavemente para cima e para baixo, desse jeito. - Isso é mágica? Aquele bebê acabou de parar de chorar! - Quem é esse médico? Ou devo dizer mágico? Estamos em Santa Mônica para perguntar ao pediatra mágico como ele se tornou o encantador de bebês. Quando eu examino uma criança no hospital ou aqui no meu consultório, freqüentemente faço elas chorarem. Ao longo dos anos, consegui realmente aperfeiçoar esse método de segurá-los e funciona bem. Nós o levamos para cima e para baixo muito gentilmente às vezes nós o mexemos para a esquerda e o mexemos para a direita. Mas como essa mágica funciona? -Dr. Hamilton acredita que essa técnica funciona porque imita a experiência dos bebês no útero. - Dobrando os braços do bebê no peito, cria uma sensação de contenção, de modo que é uma sensação de familiaridade para eles. -O movimento de balanço suave imita a sensação de flutuar dentro do saco amniótico. - Então, o que eu faço é pegar uma mão assim, outra mão assim, e gentilmente segurá-la em um ângulo de 45 graus. -O ângulo de 45 graus não tem nada a ver com acalmar o bebê e tudo a ver com interessar o bebê. -É quase como se o bebê estivesse dizendo ?Ah olá mundo. Isso é novo. Eu gosto disso." -De repente eles estão neste ângulo que eles não estão acostumados a experimentar. Normalmente eles estão de costas para ver o teto, eles vêem alguns rostos chegando ... - Essa combinação do familiar e do novo fornece muitos estímulos diferentes que sobrecarregam o instinto dos bebês de chorar. -Eu tive quatro bebês e gostaria de ter sabido sobre a ?pega? todas as vezes. - Espero que isso seja útil para você. Obrigado pela sua atenção. Meu melhor para sua família. -------------------------------------------------------------- VOCABULARY: TO FOLD- dobrar TO ROCK- balançar WHISPERER- encantador (?to whisper? é sussurrar.
