Got to add something else I learned. Works especially well on the real little ones. If they are fussy but dry, fed, and don't have something sticking (if anyone still uses pins like I had to) or pinching them, hold your hands against their feet and push their feet up so their knees are bent. The other hand on the top of of their head with gentle pressure. You can do this on the bed but it is especially effective if you can hold them. You have to wrap your arms around them to get your hands in the right places, but that is exactly the right thing to do. If you think about it, this gives them a confining, warm, sensation which is what they have had the longest experence during their life with. :-) Girl brought her 6(?) week old in a while ago to show the other ladies in the office. As she was getting ready to go, he was starting to fuss. She had him in the carrier so while she was getting her other stuff ready, I went over, took hold of his feet and pushed up a little. He was quiet is less than a minute. His feet were cold and my hands warmed them up so he was not uncomfortable any more. Geee, I'm such a GOOD Grandpa! :-) :-)
