Tip to settle your baby

I discovered this with my first baby, when she was about 3 months old, and I use it quite a bit with my new baby.
Ok here's my tip...........This hard to describe, I think. If I could draw pics I would, but I can only draw stick people lol.
Oh, before my tip I must say that all other things that can be done to stop a baby from crying should very much be looked at, such as hunger, something sticking in bub (pin, clothes tag etc), and a load of other things.But if you can't find out why baby won't stop crying, this may help, it works all the time for me, not just my own kids, but also other parents that I have shown this too, has worked as well.
Firstly, when holding baby, your baby will be laying long ways in your arms, with baby's head in the palms of your hands.Place your elbows on your tummy, holding them there in a comfortable position (I have no idea how this would go if you are pregnant), your baby's leg should be pointing up towards your chin, leaving the bottom to sit between your tummy and your chest.The most important of all is your arm movement (speed and height will vary from baby to baby, my first daughter liked bigger ups and downs, while my second daughter likes tiny movements), the only part of the arms that move are the lower arms, the upper arms stay in the same position. All that is left to do now is rock up and down. I think this works because it has the motion of a bouncer, but with the added human touch.I hope I have made my description easy enough to understand. Good luck and hope this can really help.
