The Angel and the Devil

Xavier has been cranky for the past few days. He is having kind of a blocked nose as we can hear the sound coming out when he tries to breathe. It looks like it is making him rather uncomfortable as he is breathing very hard. Feeling much better after his routine massage.

This is Xavier the Angel. Smiling. Looking at you. Looking around. And he loves looking into my camera. Not showing the devil Xavier anymore.

How to relieve a baby of crying? It seems like there are five "S"s to it.
Swaddling
. Use a not so hot blankets to swaddle him up. So far, this is the most effective method.


Side or Stomach holding to ease the baby. Not the safest for the baby to sleep but the lying back is the worst way to ease a fussy baby.
Shhh sound. Do a shhh sound near his ear. Studies have shown that this mimic the white noise in the womb and can pacify some of the babies.

Swinging the baby back and forth gently.

Sucking. Using of a pacifier or something for him to suck on.
