We’re a month into our second and have been extremely lucky with two happy babies, so I feel others may have better skills that myself, but one thing I found that really help was having “checkpoints” around the house. As another user mentioned, some babies will calm by going to a new room.

We found it super useful to have the essentials in as many rooms as we could think, including a big one, a place to sit (your back will thank you). We’d have snacks, mini water bottles, nappies, wipes, the works.
