Keep at it and I'm sure atl east ONE of them (or many in combination) will work for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-ss-not-working-for-me#post-54676 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:17:49 +0000 miranlee 54676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that's good to know. I guess I'll just keep at it and hope that I find the right angle and position. I think I should rewatch the video too. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-ss-not-working-for-me#post-54657 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:05:58 +0000 heffalump 54657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's something you have to practice and play around with before you can get really good at it. It took me a while to find the right position too, and to figure which ones worked for so because they didn't all work, or they would work some times and not others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-ss-not-working-for-me#post-54470 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:09:53 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 54470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes with the 5 s's you need to be a little more vigorous than you might think.. Mr. Jacks was definitely too gentle at first :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-ss-not-working-for-me#post-54466 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:07:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 54466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>have you tried holding her on her stomach instead of her side? olive loves that position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/5-ss-not-working-for-me#post-54464 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:05:47 +0000 miranlee 54464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched Happiest Baby on the Block and was hoping that it would work for baby Z but she is not really taking to it. I feel like we have her in a good swaddle so maybe we dont have quite the right side angle...? Anyone else not have much success at first with this? Did you change something so that it eventually worked? </p>
