| Whenever my babies would cry a lot I would walk across the street with them and swim along the ocean shore. The cool waters would open their eyes instantlyand stop their crying. It works everytime. If you do not live near a sandy beach try a pool. Tip Credibility: 13 (Best Tip!) |
| When you get your baby up to feed through the night, place a hot water bottle in his bed to keep it warm until you can put him back into his bed. But don't leave the bottle in the bed. Tip Credibility: 5 |
