For like the first 6 months of L's life, the only things that would calm him down when he was inconsolable (usually because he was fighting sleep) was the vacuum and the song Magic by B.O.B. ft. Rivers Cuomo. I discovered this by sheer luck one day when my iPhone was on shuffle, haha!</p> <p>These days Frozen is what does the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forget-white-noise-and-lullabies-this-is-what-calms-my-baby#post-1769727 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 06:50:03 +0000 Dandelion 1769727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol.

Ridiculous.</p> <p>Eta: I just showed M this video and he was super excited lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forget-white-noise-and-lullabies-this-is-what-calms-my-baby#post-1769703 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 06:07:32 +0000 artsyfartsy 1769703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Lol!!

I once sang that (and other animals thrown in so I didn't lose it) for an entire 45 minute car ride.

The former just chills her out. The latter generally makes her laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forget-white-noise-and-lullabies-this-is-what-calms-my-baby#post-1769340 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 17:24:39 +0000 artsyfartsy 1769340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: There's a lot of Korean bees on here.

I don't know why! I bought the song and play it on my phone in the car when he's upset. </p> <p>I'm not Korean and I don't know anyone who is Korean! But I do know the lyrics to this song. Haha I've yet to have anyone in the car with me besides DH when I break this out so I've avoided the awkward explanation. Lol </p> <p>What calms your LO?</p> <p>ETA: DH and I know some of the dance too. </p>
