    Read his books Happiest Baby on the Block and Happiest Toddler. Both provide great techniques. I always give them as gifts to friends who have babies. Granted every baby is different and not any one thing will work for a fussy baby. I did find his process worked almost every time for my babes.

    It’s better developmentally for the hands to be up...it’s simple guys...I’m a NICU nurse...every single baby calms to being held, rocked, and/or having their bottom patted. If they’re still fussy then they are either in pain, hungry, or have a dirty diaper. Shushing really is powerful and babies love to be on their tummies (just long enough to calm them)

      For proper brain development the hands should be centerline, with hands up and fingertips touching neck/mouth. Try that next time. The arms down by the sides was an old technique that's no longer used- according to training I recently received.

    Any tips for a newborn who somehow sleeps easily during all hours besides 12AM-7AM, where fussy is an understatement and a war is more accurate? Swaddling doesn't work, neither does any anti-fussy meds out there, plus we also use anti-gas/anti-colic stuff that seems to do nothing. No dirty diaper in this case either, plus all feedings were within the hour. What gives?

    Tbh this is useless cuz I have a colic baby and she doesn’t take pacifiers (she hates them), she’s also strong when we swaddle her but we eventually get that done. We rock her but won’t sleep. So we cry with her. Until she gets tired of crying which takes 1-3 hours. It’s horrible.

      You don't swaddle a baby in hot weather. This is mostly in colder countries.

    Never swaddle a baby like that
