• Put your baby down somewhere and let her cry for a while out of your hearing.

• If it helps, put on some quiet music and let yourself relax for ten minutes.

• Call a friend or relative and get some support. Give yourself a break and let someone else take over for a while.

The third piece of advice is very useful. It is important to have help. Often a screaming baby will calm down as soon as someone else, less tense and more rested, takes over.

But the first two bits I would advise only if you were so out of your mind that you could actually harm the baby if you stayed near.
