1. Swaddle her. Babies up to four months old feel safe and secure when bundled and will calm down. This imitates her cozy womb environment and soothes her cries with a sense of familiarity.
2. Carry him in a sling or carrier close to your body and walk around. The motion will imitate movements he felt while he was being carried in your womb.
3. Play "white noise" such as dishwasher, washing machine or even vacuum cleaner to imitate sounds she heard while safe and snug in your tummy.
4. If all else fails, go for a car ride. The motion will imitate frequent movement he felt while in your womb and may calm him, and you, down.
Some of these things will work all of time and all of these things will work some of time, but just keep in mind that this will all pass. Enjoy these precious days with your little one because soon you will have to potty train them and you will think back to good old days...when all you had to worry about was a little colic!
