對(duì)新手父母來(lái)說(shuō)，新生兒寶寶的哇哇大哭最讓人驚慌失措，怎樣才能安慰初到人世的寶貝，迅速使其停止哭泣呢？近日，美國(guó)一位兒科醫(yī)生找到了一種神奇的方法，據(jù)說(shuō)屢試不爽。

Dr Robert C Hamilton says his technique, dubbed "The Hold", works every time without fail.
這位名叫羅伯特·C·漢明頓的醫(yī)生將自己的這種技法稱為“斜托法”，他說(shuō)這種方法非常有效，屢試不爽。

He picks up the child, folds his or her arms across the chest and holds this tight, lifting the baby's bottom with the other.
他抱起嬰兒，讓他或她雙臂交叉在在胸前，然后一直手托在嬰兒前胸，另一只手托住嬰兒的臀部，把嬰兒舉起來(lái)。

Holding the baby at a 45 degree angle with both hands, he then lifts the baby up and down, rocks it back and forth and "shakes the little booty".
雙手以45°斜角托著嬰兒，然后托著嬰兒上下晃動(dòng)，前后搖晃，“搖搖小屁股”。

"You hold the child with the fleshy part of your hand [the palm] not the fingertips, and I am supporting his chin, which is why I am holding him at a 45 degree angle."
“用手上最柔軟的地方（手掌）托住嬰兒，而且我還要托住他的下巴，所以要斜45°托住他。”

"Everything you do is very gentle, you don't want to do any jerky motions ever," Dr Hamilton advices.
“做每個(gè)動(dòng)作都必須非常輕柔，絕對(duì)不要有任何魯莽的動(dòng)作，”漢明頓醫(yī)生這樣建議到。

He adds that The Hold works best for babies up to three months as they then become too heavy.
他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，斜托法對(duì)出生三個(gè)月以下的嬰兒最有效，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)嬰兒的重量就很重了。
