Baby Calming 101

We're getting good at figuring out how to quiet the kid, although we admit some of our methods look pretty ridiculous.

I would guess by now, after learning the Baby Language you know that he had air in his upper chest and needed to be burped! At least it sounded that way to me! But hey, whatever works, right!

That is some bad-ass soothing, my friends...yay for blowdryers!

Hilarious!!! We had a similar experience, but our boys calmed down when we blew dry their tuchases before locking down their diapers...... Better living through electricity!!!

That's great! I laughed so hard I cried. You guys are figuring it out. Whatever works for you is the way to go. I'll have to make note of this method, though.

Wow! I wish I'd known about that method with my newborns. You guys are so funny! Thanks for sharing some of your precious moments with Jonah. And yes, I even find his cry precious (of course, it's not waking me up at 2am!)

How lame am I, I watched this video with Abby attached, sleeping in a Baby Bjorn... and Jonah's crying woke her. Can you say Technically-Challenged Mama? Abby's back asleep now, and I'm not pushing any more buttons without THINKING first. I agree with Lisa and Pat... Jonah's cry is adorable. Thank you for creating this!

Responsive to the hair drier, eh? Hmm. Looks like daddy's vanity was inherited ;) jk. At the very least you know Jonah will have stellar hair!
