my son was a very fussy baby and only a few things helped to settle him if you have a fussy baby then you will know what its like to want just ten minutes to yourself, if thats you read on,
i used a baby sling alot which meant
my son could still be close to me but i could get on and do the dreaded housework, he liked being close to me alot and it helped keep him calm but i know its also not practical all of the time,
i tried my son with a dummy ( soother ) but he didnt like them one bit, totally different with my daughter i cant wean her off of them which is one big dis-advantage to them
also i a baby swing........ what a god send!!!!!!!! we bought a wind up one so no need for batteries which saved us a fortune and it worked a treat he loved it, in fact i kept it, used it when i had my daughter and iv still got it for the next its six years old and still a firm favourite with us!!
something else that my son loved was the sound of a dripping tap or a loud clock so he could here the ticking if we moved him away he would cry instantly
massaging my son was always good for settling him at night he would have his night feed then a bath then a massage and drop straight off to sleep, fantasic.
hope this helps some
