(you got to bear this non stop parenting casts from me for a few months)

I am finding it hard to soothe the baby to sleep after a feed. He is well fed - but still gets fussy - wanting something more. 

Holding him on my chest or shoulder and gently rocking him isn’t soothing him like it used to the first couple of weeks. 

Any tips/techniques that could help me here?

Currently trying some white noise sounds, and trying to keep it calm and not too much light. 

Used a pacifier a couple of times - but hesitating using it frequently.

oh man thanks for sharing this haha. i feel you. when mila was this age, i used to do -what my family thought I did with too much energy and that could eventually have crossed the line to be a little dangerous for her (which I don’t believe tbh but you never know)- the pirate boat

long pendulums with her on my arms, singing a gentle song, and dancing as if we were dancing vals

i was the only one that could bring her to sleep

jk, but it worked well haha

Woah, thanks JP.

I looked at a video where a lady was kind of dancing with the kid, and rocking him like a pendulum swing. Guess that is what you are talking about.

I need to try that.
