Subject: Crying Babies in Nursery

The first thing I would do is play music and engage the non-crying babies in play with simple shaking toys or instruments. The crying babies will figure out there is something else to do and begin to take notice. Then one by one engage them with a shaking toy also. The music needs to be loud enough for them to hear and might include soothing music, upbeat music, music with a good beat, and music with lots of harmonies. Give them variety!
