Does anyone have any suggestions for calming such a fussy infant? The
only
thing that seems to work (which I *hate* doing) is giving baby a pacifier,
which someone must hold in his mouth.

Thanks!

I seen this Doctor on Dr Phil... Dr Harvey Karp (an associate professor of
paediatrics at UCLA)

He had 5 things that can calm a baby...
Swaddling - wrapping them up in a blanket..
Laying them on their side or stomach - this always worked for my Eldest DD
Shushing them
Rocking/moving
And they need to suck - dummy/fingers/breast
