Oh, and the vacuum worked too. Guess this falls into the “white noise” category.

We used many of the tips from Dr. Karp as well.. Kalyna seemed to calm down with the shooshing, and swaying (standing, not sitting…) Not so much on the bouncing… but sometimes..

We just kept trying new things, until we found something that worked… Music would work “sometimes”.. but white noise is great.. We found this show that I’ve mentioned to several people before called “Sunrise Earth” on Discovery HD. It’s just an hour of a sunrise at a various location. We still use it today, Kalyna really likes the ocean ones, where you can hear the waves for hours..

Tony and Katherine had mentioned that Thomas liked something similar… there are other tricks that Kalyna likes.. Lately I’ve been putting her head on my shoulder, and lifting her legs like an airplane and she always smiles, and instantly quiets down..

Kalyna is starting to get bored, so we’re having to find new things… I’d just suggest trying something new, and seeing if he likes it.. I’m pretty surprised at how random things seem to work.. Yun has found a painting we have, that whenever she plops Kalyna in front of it, she calms down… crazy :)
