Restless Baby

The Happiest Baby on the Block DVD worked for us too, like the previous poster suggested. In particular, the "Shssing" worked for us. Our son was calmed by both a hand-held dust vacuum and the hair dryer. He was calmed by the "white noise"...but it had to be loud, which is something addressed by the DVD. I wanted to laugh every time I heard my husband start up the dust vac, but I couldn't ever say anything because it really worked. :) Who knew? Good luck!

Get Happiest Baby on the Block. You read the book and she can read it when she has time and get the DVD for both of you to watch right off. Most libraries have both. The calming technique is amazing! I wish I had had it with my first instead of my fifth.

I've got to agree with the other 2 responders....the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD was my lifesaver and helped calm my daughter during her colicky hours!!!!

Just in case this isn't relieved by the previous suggestions... If your daughter is nursing, she may be ingesting something that her baby's tummy doesn't like. She may keep a food diary and see if this behavior matches up with a certain food or food combination. Other, if he is having formula this may be the cause... you may need to switch. You may consider whether or not you've changed, laundry detergent or household cleaners.... He may be uncomfortable in some way that isn't obvious.

Many Blessings!!
