my mother, who successfully raised two children to adulthood, mentioned two years ago to my cousin that putting the baby on her (the baby's) tummy on my cousin's chest was probably the best (read: fastest and most soothing) way to calm the kid. Hell, it worked with me, and it wasn't my kid. (at the time, Baby was a week old)
