=> The 5 S's: Five Steps to Turn On Your Baby's Calm Reflex
1. Swaddling - tight wrapping
2. Side/Stomach - laying a baby on her side or stomach
3. Shushing - loud white noise (just as comes from within)
4. Swinging - rhythmic, jiggly motion
5. Sucking - sucking on anything from nipple or finger or a pacifier
Some Vital Clues to baby's sound
1. Is baby opening mouth and rooting (This could indicate hunger)
2. Is baby yawning rubbing his eyes, moving his head from side to side, or staring out with droopy eyelids (This could indicate fatigues)
3. Does he seem to be intentionally looking away from you aor starting to hiccup? (This could indicate over simulation)
4. Is he making facial grimaces and trying to bear down (This could indicate intestinal discomfort)
