My Precious Kid offers an absoluely unbelievable selection of safety products for children and families.  What many people don’t know is that they also offer a wide variety of other baby, child and family products as well!  

Kay Green, owner of My Precious Kid sent us one of their fabulous Swaddle Blankets and Tessa couldn’t be happier!  This is definitely one of the things we learned quickly … babies adore being swaddled, and I’ll happily admit that Tessa definitely has this particular aspect of infancy DOWN.  These blankets make it easier for parent’s to properly wrap baby while it is also that much cozier for baby!  

Tip:  Fussy babies are par for the course at some point in an infant’s life.  It is not uncommon for mom’s to begin feeling a bit overwhelmed.  There is a lot of information out there on great ways to help soothe a baby, but I can tell you for certain that the system that recommends the 5 S’s (sorry I cannot remember who started this, so if you know what book/site it is featured on by the author, please feel free to leave a comment with that information) work surprisingly well!  Swaddling, Side laying, Swaying (usually in your arms, facing away from you, very gentle motion), Sucking and Shhhhhshing (not loud, but right in their ear, mimicks the sounds from the womb).  

mpkswaddleOk, back to My Precious Kid … I have talked about their amazing safety products in the past and highly encourage you to get a basic safety pack for your children!  Their Child Safety Pack actually has 8 different product in it that all help make your child safer!

    wrapping my little ones tight and walking around with them always worked for me when they were fussy, that and singing softly.

    My daughter is in having her baby as we speak! I would love to have this safety pack. When my babies were little, I got into the habit of cooing a certain way while rocking them…when they were fussy, I’d begin the cooing sound and they would usually settle down; I heard of another mother with a colicky baby that would lay him on the top of the dryer and turn it on…the warmth and agitation soothed him.

    I like the diaper bag buddy, everything you need in a small size.

    I really like the design of the safe sippy cup, although frankly I think their site could be better designed. It’s not very easy to browse for products.

    well, i have no idea as this is going to be my first baby. and i THINK that all those products would work for me since we are new at all of this :)

    :grin: The safety pack is just fantastic. Who couldn’t use a little extra peace of mind? Great product!

  12. Steph Says:

    A few of the products I liked were the Safe Sippy and the Moby Wrap baby carrier. I have been kinda lucky and havent had a terribly fussy baby…nothing a little rocking and cuddling couldnt handle.

  13. Sarah Says:
    13

    Having mommy usually did the trick with my fussy babies (I have two mommy babies). Walking around and bouncing also worked.

  14. Heather Huckaby Says:
    14

    I sing A LOT. I guess my son got used to my singing while in the womb, because since his birth, singing to him always comforts him if he’s fussy or upset. : ) He’s a “mama’s boy” and I LOVE it!

  15. ky2here Says:
    15

    It’s all about the paragoric. Calm those pups down – for several hours if you dose properly.

  16. susan varney Says:
    16

    rocking and crooning

  17. Jennifer Says:

    I have three children on the autism spectrum, all of them were very fussy babies. I can say with out a doubt that swaddling helped them calm down. It’s something that to this day helps them when they are very hard to control. I have a new baby now and we continue to swaddle him. We don’t see the issues that we did with the other kids, but as many of you have mentioned swaddling helps so much to keep them feeling secure. The other tip I can say is using water, either on the skin or just the sound of running water has often helped us. Especially in public places.

    car seat id for the seat and stroller- what if mom passed out- ok this is it

    fussy baby-hmm mine are not orw were never fussy- ok liar liar- ok up all night – watching movies till you are exhausted with them — walk on the treadmill or go on the bike

    What worked best for me was holding her gently, singing softly and walk, walk, walk! When all else failed, going for a ride. She would finally fall asleep in her carseat! The trick of course, was not waking her up when placing her back in bed.

    Absolutely nothing worked for my daughter that cried her entire first year, but I’ve heard car drives are supposed to work.

  25. Sheila Says:
    25

    Going for a drive with my fussy daughter helped but my son hates it! When he is fussy he only wants to nurse, nothing else soothes him!

  26. Sheila Says:

    We wrapped our child and it was the best. We’ll do it again when we have #2.

  28. Anne Says:

    many late night drives or even turning on the vacuum worked sometimes!

    Thanks

    Swaddling and nursing. Also, my firstborn did not want to rock but she LOVED the exercise ball. Every night, after nursing & swaddling, I bounced her up and down on the ball. Worked wonders.

    Also, pushing her in the stroller around the house. She like to feel the bumps from carpet to tile to wood, etc.

  30. Monique Rizzo Says:

    We used swaddling a lot!! Thanks for the chance.

    What worked for my two kids would be to put them in the car and take them for a ride.

  32. Karen Gonyea Says:

    The good old rocking chair and singing a song :)

  33. Kate Says:
    33

    What worked for you when you had a very fussy baby? Rocking my baby in the recliner while breast feeding- worked with each of them so far (knock on wood. I am SO bad at swaddling, what a brilliant design!

  34. Donna R Says:
    34

    Walking, rocking, swaddling, patting on the bum. . you name it. Thanks for the contest.

  35. Mia J. Says:

    Going for a ride in the car and listening to bob dylan always helped with my fussy baby.

  36. Kathy Scott Says:
    36

    The car did wonders.

  37. Kirsten Says:
    37

    I rocked and sang them to sleep though I can remember a time or two driving them in the car! LOL

    I like the safe sippy

  38. Carla Says:
    38

    I found music helped a lot. Plus a tight swaddle and some rocking. Thankfully we didn’t have too much trouble with our littleone.

  39. Anastasia Psaltopoulos Says:

    Though I loved nursing my kids, I hated putting them back in their cribs before they were settled and comfy. To help them along, I would put a hot water bottle wrapped in a blankie in their crib while I nursed. That way, they would have a warm spot to cuddle into once I put them back down to sleep. Tip: I slept with the blanket in my bed for a few days so it would have my scent and be more comforting to them. Worked like a charm!

    Holding my fussy baby while I did low impact aerobics was the only thing that would put her to sleep!

    As much as I didn’t want to, I served as the human pacifier for my son when he was fussy. It always worked without fail!

  45. 3boyzmom (tangie) Says:
    45

    What always worked best when my guys were fussy was swaddling them up, holding them close to my body, and rocking them very strongly, while making the “shhhhh” sound. Worked every time!

    The swaddling blanket was a gift from God! At least until he grew out of it. But its wonderful for little ones.

    The one product that appeals to me the most is Baby First Aid Kit – Diaper Bag Buddy!

    My way to deal with a fussy baby is my Celtic Music CD!
    I don’t know why but it calms the fussiest baby!

  66. Michelle H. Says:

    I am the mom of a large brood of kids and I have found that what works for one baby may not work for another. However, holding the baby close, singing and walking or rocking the baby gently usually works on most babies.
