I used to blow gently on their face when they had worked themselves up to a screaming rage of tiredness. It would break them out of the cycle, tired so cried, got more tired cried harder, exhausted n scream their lungs out. Once they stopped screaming they would be asleep within minutes. Works with hungry babies too, they are screaming so much they don't realise that the bottle is on their lips. Blow, it shocks them into stopping and they find the food. |

No offence but it was amazes me how ill equipped babies are for survival in this world. In mean that in the sense that I find it incredible humans didn't become extinct. Baby anacondas literally do not receive any parental care, they are just born and off they go... |

"Put Pipe Band music on, hold baby in your arms and pace up and down rocking the wee one to sleep. It worked when my dad did it to me and worked on all four of my kids, even worked on my niece. "
Not too loud though or you will hurt his ears. |

It was The Blue Danube for my youngest - my mum put in on a repeat on a cd for me. My only hour of peace in a day!!
He was 18 months when he eventually slept through & only this last 6 months he's properly slept - he's just turned 10!!

The ex once handed me daughter in sheer desperation one 3am. 5 pages of "the active directory administration guide" did the trick. She slept on my chest, I slept on the rocking chair. Job done.  |

"Changed its bum?"
Just the nappy would be better, babies can be very smelly and messy sometimes, but I think going so far as to swap asses is probably excessive. |
