"I would try a few different things. First I would check to see if there was any soothing music I could play for them. Then I would swaddle them and rock them for a while. If that didn't work, I might even try singing to them. Usually rocking them to sleep with the sound of music will help calm them down. I always hold babies close so that they feel secure and safe."

If you have experience with babies, you know that sometimes they might start crying and you won't know why! Sometimes you have to simply have patience and let the baby cry, but it always depends on the situation. Share any calming techniques that will help the baby relax. After you share your perspective, ask the interviewer what works best for their child.
