Comforting Your Baby....

[babymello]

What items/things do you use to comfort/soothe your baby?

I'll start first:

A paci/dummy

Use a swing

or hold her walking around the house singing.

Mello

Boob - distraction - cuddles - books

Depends why she's crying really

 

[doctordeesmrs]

I go straight in for cuddles and for some reason he really likes me singing Angels to him. No other song settles him as quick

 

[marley2580]

OMG that's the only song that would settle Kaya for months!

 

[doctordeesmrs]

Lol how strange. I love how he's a robbie fan already.

I use a dummy (which she hates) then I talk to her, play with her, then if all else failos I feed her. That usually does the trick!

 

[Serene123]

Firstly of course (if it isn't feeding time) I check her bum, check she doesn't have wind then I try the boob. Almost never fails but if it does:

Over my shoulder tapping her bum.
Fails..
Then.. Rock her from side to side, quite quickly, but not too quick.
Fails..
Then.. Back over my shoulder rocking back and forward.
Fails..
Then.. I hum to "hush little baby don't you cry.."

If all of them failed I think I'd have a heart attack..

Usually I´ll try the dummy first, wind, nappy and bottle.

If its not any of the above, I´ll stick him over my shoulder and walk around with him singing, or hold him close to my boobs and rock him side to side singing - I think its me singing that shuts him up, I´m sure he nods off to sleep just so I´ll shut up singing to him!!

If he isnt hungry, tired or dirty then he likes to look in the mirror and chatter to himself, or we sing High School Musical and McFly songs lol

Usually rocking but singing sometimes works too
