Are you breastfeeding? I found lying down to feed very relaxing for mum and baby. Put a blanket round yourself and if you doze off...

If not bf maybe just lying down together?

Have you tried swaddling? or music (quiet to soothe or loud to drown out crying!??) - DH used to do the last one and it used to work! Kind of stunned them into silence!!

lol daisesinaline. i'll have to give that one ago next time it happens!!! stereo is unplugged at mo because of the crimbo tree lights. dont wanna put the music channels on because she always ends up watching them... suppose it stops the crying though!!!
