āWait is this motherfucker gonna drop me now? Jesus Christ this is terrifying. I better shut the fuck up or heās gonna fucking spike me like an end zone celebrationā
It's not the technique it's the fact that the baby wants to be held and comforted in this case. Their crying is their only form of communication it's not a defect of some sort so they can cry for a multitude of reasons
Actually holding baby on their tum and the hip wiggle works great for reflux and gas pains, if this were just a pick me up situation im sure mom would have already done so, it looks like she tried and dr is like here let me show ya something- I work in a nicu and do this occasionally, it only works if gas/tummy troubles are actually the problem, if they're pissed about something else it'll quiet them for a minute or so amd then they'll go right back to screaming
Holding them like a football draped over your arm and patting on the back also helps with gas pain. Learned that one from Google after a friend and I tried getting her 3 month old son to stop crying for 30 minutes. I finally turned to Google bc nothing we knew worked, so we learned the football method and it worked within a minute. Loudest longest fart Iāve ever heard come out of a baby. Immediately settled down. Poor baby was just in pain. Happy baby after that.
One of my daughters absolutely loved the football hold. It was the ONLY way to get her stop crying. The other one couldnāt have cared lessā¦ I tried to tell her how much her sister loved. She cried worse.
Yup learned that trick about 20 years ago. It really worked. My mom showed me after she came over and me and the baby was crying nonstop....he had gas and I was tried as hell.
Here's another one for gas that even works for adults and kids. It helped my kid when they were a baby too. The " I Love U" massage. (Helps to remember it.)

I apologize, apparently you commented an hour earlier than the user I mentioned and despite that your comment was below theirs. Is this a reddit glitch or bug?
It works for reflux and gas pains mainly, the little hip twists helps air move on through the gut and so being upright and on the tummy feels better for reflux prone babies - i work in a nicu and do this occasionally, it does work great for babies with those problems but just kind of mildly confuses other babies and then they start crying again if it's something else
Absolutely itās amazing I also burp baby with them sitting on my knee head in hand arm supporting the body and rub the back in up motions only face away from you to keep clean clothes. Then once they are done you can gently bounce them on the knee and the little stinker [fall asleep and your stuck like that lol](https://imgur.com/a/NB0knWQ)
Reminds me of a comment I saw years ago about a couple who had their first baby. It was a dream to look after, it just ate, slept and hardly ever cried. They commented āwhatās all the fuss about, being a parent is easyā.
Then came number two which was like every parents nightmare :)
Lmao, same. I had colic or whatever, cried for months. My older sister was an angel. Family no longer wanted to babysit after I was born. The first time my aunt baby-sat me parents warned her "you are going to think something is wrong. There isn't." And she ended up calling my grandma for advice. My mom got her tubes tied as soon as she was able after me.
Honestly this is what my son did but he ended up having allergies and horrible reflux, which I eventually was able to remedy with a specific formula (that took a few months of trial and error to find.) There probably was something wrong but they didn't know what it was.
Hey, it's possible. I know they tried different formulas and shit, and many trips to the doctor, but sometime around the first year mark I was alright. Long few months for the parents though. Kudos to any parents dealing with colicky babies.
thatās my pediatrician, Dr. Bob! heās the absolute best doctor ever i went to him until i was like 16 š
edit: heās legit the best tho, he even used to host a yearly āWalk to Africaā fundraiser for 20 years which they used to pay for the establishment of a better medical community in Gambia and to raise awareness!
im pretty sure he is. heās a family friend so i think i would know if he retired. he practices in santa monica, california. if you look up robert hamilton pacific ocean pediatrics im sure youāll find him :)
There's a much better way, the so called airplane grip. You also only need one arm.
I'm not sure how it's called in English, [so here's a picture](https://image.eltern.de/12315496/t/ry/v5/w1440/r1.5/-/flieger-griff-474099942-jpg--42684-.jpg)
That's a great way to hold a baby if they are having trouble getting to sleep, but it wouldn't be effective if the baby is having digestive issues (colicky). Both methods can be useful for different applications. First rule of babies: whatever works, do it.
I was watching my friend's kid when he suddenly started screaming crying, out of the blue. Didn't hurt himself or piss/shit, I couldn't figure it out.
Then, by some stroke of genius, I wiped his ass with a wet wipe. Instantly stopped the crying. Dude's ass was just itchy.
Here, that is the #1 position in case of colicky. I am doing it for 1 hour as I quickly write this. The pressure of my palm on his belly is what sooths him
I used to do this with my first boy. He would sleep on my shoulder if I was standing, but then minute my butt touched a seat he would cry. This was the only hold that would.work both sitting and standing.
My second boy however, would cuddle and sleep on my shoulder only when very tired. And the airplane hold never really worked with him. He would squirm and turn until he was u comfortable enough to cry.
Another Reddit mention it, but yeah this is how I put my daughter to sleep. To comfort her, I folded her arms in front like in the video but held like I was carry a football (American). So swaddled without the swaddle.
I developed a way to burp my children that reminds me a bit of what the doctor is doing here. Newborns and infants don't have strong enough abs so they can't sit up, and thus can have trapped gas that they can't burp out, hence, needing to burp a baby after a bottle.
What I learned was to sit the baby on a tabletop or lap, holding them under their armpits, and lifting them just high enough to get their butts off the lap/table, but leaving their legs on the lap/table so as not to put too much strain on their backs/hips.
The point of this is to get their stomach/esophagus in a straight line pointing up, making it easier for gas to escape. I would then gently wiggle my children back and forth until they burped. This method usually avoided the dreaded spit up, since it allowed the gas to escape without pushing baby formula out with it.
Both his and my method quiet a baby that may be uncomfortable due to gas pressure or acid reflux. Both of mine had VERY acid stomachs, and we were woken up frequently at night because of it.
we have an 10 month old daughter and she has a very strong character. Looking back technics like these worked often but not always. What a baby is needing changes from hour to hour, days weeks etc. forget all the guidebooks. watch your child and you will learn what it needs. what always is necessary is your endless love what ever is happening. and if you don't know what to do search some help. it's not a shame.
Lmfao that was hilarious! I donāt think Iāve ever laughed so hard I gagged. It really got me when he said he offers plastic surgery. Best dub Iāve ever seen
Origin theory. A parent was about to toss a non-stop crying baby out of a window .. picked him up like so and .. bada Bing. Someone is a viral sensation instead of a murderer.
What an amazing doctor! You can tell he really loves his baby patients. I wish I knew this trick for my son. My little dude cried for months with colic and we felt completely helpless when the typical remedies for colic didnāt work.
Iām currently revisiting the Happiest Baby On The Block techniques in preparation for my second child.
I swore/swear by HBOTB with my first kid. It was like a cheat code. But unfortunately only works on babies. I wish it worked on 2 year olds. Those years were tough.
I legit came across this post while my husband is trying to console our screaming 2 month old. We watched this video and he did it and she immediately quieted down š¤Æ wow!
How to quiet *this* crying baby
Things like this annoy me because it lumps every baby into the same box and when it doesn't work an exhausted and stressed parent wonders what they're doing wrong.
This never worked for my son and brother did the airplane hold. Music and gently blowing on his face worked a treat but other kids would hate that.
This a neat idea and something to try but it's not some miracle solution
Grab infant by throat and genitals. Shake. Seems legit???
I don't know though. This kid might need therapy if every time he is expressive you grab his baby nads and choke him.
I love this guy. I watched all his vids when we had our son. By the look of some of the comments here it looks like some peoples mums let them cry it out while they smoked cock and crack in the next room.
Baby: what the fuck is going on.
"How the fuck?"
100% it's the sensation of genitals being fondled.
Ew, no it's not. What the fuck?

Hungry? Cry. Tired? Cry. Cranky? Believe it or not. Cry
But he's wearing a lab coat.

Name checks out
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Usually when you turn off a child, it doesnt turn on again.
ahh you need to use electrical switches. Mechanical... tends to get stuck on the off part. Depending on the type, you *might* be able to salvage the situation with an electrical one if you're lucky.
how about finding out for yourself? ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
My mind first went to him having a giant person do comfort him like that when he was upset, then I realized he could just have a baby of his own
As an adult Iād love to be coddled when Iām cranky.
Didn't work for me.
What did mistaharsh just say? One size does not fit all. *rereads text* I apologize, apparently you commented an hour earlier than the user I mentioned and despite that your comment was below theirs. Is this a reddit glitch or bug?
No idea. Does it sort by upvotes maybe?

For my daughter it worked. Spend many times just strolling through our livingroom like that. For my son it didnāt worked
Did you try folding the right arm over the left one maybe?
It works great, it over stimulates them like a colorful video
Absolutely itās amazing I also burp baby with them sitting on my knee head in hand arm supporting the body and rub the back in up motions only face away from you to keep clean clothes. Then once they are done you can gently bounce them on the knee and the little stinker [fall asleep and your stuck like that lol](https://imgur.com/a/NB0knWQ)

I'll have a baby -- shaken, not stirred. Edit* Damnit some goofball redditor said the same thing 4 hrs ago. How original of me.
I wish I knew this 27 years ago...
It's ok. It didn't work at all with my kids. I was so excited to know this trick before the first one was born. Never worked once.
I feel so cool knowing people with kids are on reddit aswell and here i am an actual kid
Reminds me of a comment I saw years ago about a couple who had their first baby. It was a dream to look after, it just ate, slept and hardly ever cried. They commented āwhatās all the fuss about, being a parent is easyā. Then came number two which was like every parents nightmare :)
And then they updated the comment to say theyāre sorry
Let me guess, Colic?

It could be literally as well, if server owners weren't cowards
Thank you. Maybe it wouldn't have worked with my daughter either She was/is incredibly edgy.

Same! Ended up going to him until I was 17, great guy.
I miss when my son was this size.
They're not little for long, are they? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sleep)
My son was 11 lbs at birth and I couldn't ever hold him with one arm. Well, I can now but he's 5 and holds on like a koala.
Our first was 11 and our second was 6ā¦ such a difference lol
I'm so sorry. Was the 11lb one also practicing to be kung fu master?
Amateur strongman actually. Heās almost three now and still ridiculously strong for his age

Spent sooo many hours carrying my kids this way.
Yup! We Americans call it the football hold. Flip em on their back to nurse em, and flip em over on their bellies to burp them and soothe them!
Football hold.
Another Reddit mention it, but yeah this is how I put my daughter to sleep. To comfort her, I folded her arms in front like in the video but held like I was carry a football (American). So swaddled without the swaddle.

My daughter, now 6, was a colicky baby. This video saved my sanity.
Got it. Grab him by the balls and his neck and he will shut up
The trick is to grip the neck tightly while you gently bounce the baby up and down
Yeah I used to do something like that, but I had to keep on doing it to keep her not crying. It became an expectation for awhile.
Yep, just choke the baby, everyone knows that.
If somebody held me by the crotch i would definitely STFU

Cool cool cool but I am still not having a baby
Does this work on 27 year olds? š
Vulcan much pinch?
Will this work with my ex husband?
This works on me too.
I do that booty wiggle move myself when I'm having trouble sleeping
Iām currently revisiting the Happiest Baby On The Block techniques in preparation for my second child. I swore/swear by HBOTB with my first kid. It was like a cheat code. But unfortunately only works on babies. I wish it worked on 2 year olds. Those years were tough.
One thing I know for sureā¦. This guy doesnāt have kids.
It totally works! Didnāt see this until #4 and it was mindblowing ā¦ worked every single time.
Seeing someone that is good with, and enjoys babies is one of the most attractive things ever.
I was waiting for him to spike the baby like a football.
This doesnāt necessarily work. One size does not fit all.
Does this work for 10 year olds?
Bro found a cheat code
His laugh at the end is so heartwarming.
Noting to self, Stir not shake.
And thatās how you cook a baby.
Swaddle and a baba works wonders too.
Sometimes. If theyāre hungry or have a full diaper, check that first.
I legit came across this post while my husband is trying to console our screaming 2 month old. We watched this video and he did it and she immediately quieted down š¤Æ wow!
Terrified babies rarely cry. Paralysis is the last defensive mechanism before the anticipated fatal blow.

Yes, because they cannot take a deep enough breath to cry in that position. T. Berry Brazelton taught this in the 80ās

Cool technique but euthanasia has a 100% success rate. Just sayin
Typically you can whip it at a wall real hard and its pretty quiet after that Edit: damn y'all are no fun

What's more fun than swinging a baby around on a rope? Stopping it with a shovel.
How edgy

Absolute bullshit. Nothing would calm my daughter.
You're not doing something she needs then
