Explanation:

For the first question, a baby feeling warm to the touch can be a sign of fever which may indicate illness. Crying, increased activity, being alert and irritated can be normal behaviors. For the second question, gentle motions like rocking can soothe a crying baby. Rubbing may not always help, holding close can be comforting (contrary to the second - wrong option), and swaddling can also be soothing in many cases.

Answer:

First question: The baby feels warm to the touch.
Second question: Use gentle motions such as rocking back and forth while holding the baby.
