Because I certainly did not have enough responsibilities as it was.

This does not look hopeful.

How does one soothe a fussy baby who has already been fed, bathed, and changed? She appears healthy, but remains restless no matter what I do.

Have you tried picking her up and carrying her around a bit?

[flowbeautifully.livejournal.com]

I've held her, but not carried her. Does it make a difference?

From what I understand, they often find the motion comforting, as well as the sound of your heart if you hold it to your chest.

[flowbeautifully.livejournal.com]

Understood; thank you.

[remainingpride.livejournal.com]

Haha, you might want to pat its back, too!

[flowbeautifully.livejournal.com]

Is that also comforting?

You could try rocking it gently? That usually helped my little sisters.

Sorry I haven't been around much, but I'd be happy to help with the baby.

[flowbeautifully.livejournal.com]

I see. The general consensus seems to be that regular motion is comforting, then.

Thank you.

Yes. Sometimes the motion of a car puts them to sleep too but I guess we don't have one of those.

No problem.
