First I have to apologize because I meant to write this about a week ago. A piece of advice that I got once was what may work one week may not work the next. I have experienced this from week to week, day to day, and hour to hour. I think this is mostly talking about calming a baby. For example, the week Eric's parents, Linda and Norm, came to visit they taught us how to calm Alexander by doing the "dance". The dance is walking, swinging, bouncing, and talking to Alexander all at the same time. The week after they left I used the dance but also the swing to calm Alexander. The week after that it seemed like nothing was working. So I put him in his bouncy seat turned the vibrator on and bounced him. Within 30 seconds he was calm!! Its been working ever since. He loves his bouncy seat! He will seat in it while I workout, cook, clean, take a shower, etc. If there one piece of "equipment" I would suggest to new parents, it would be a bouncy seat. Its small and convenient and most babies love it. I have a friend who's daughter sleeps in her bouncy seat all night. Alexander use to sleep in it when he was a newborn and now he naps in it.
