What is/was the surefire way to get him/her to stop? (assuming not hunger related)
Ours is the bouncer seat. Leg cycling can also distract him, especially if he has gas.
We recently discovered he enjoys a dramatic rendition of "Wheels on the Bus," too. Ha!

*usually* just picking her up makes her happy, but the only absolutely surefire guarantee though is our dog. As soon as she sees him she stops crying and starts smiling. And if we get him to sniff at her? Giggle abound. Best. pet. ever.

Boobs. Doesn't matter if they are hungry or not. Nursing always works!
And that's why we are now stuck in the situation where I'm the only person who can get them down for naps, put them to bed, soothe them when they are sick, etc.

Taking her outside has worked every time except when she had double ear infections.

When he was really little, tying him up in the moby and walking around or going outside. Now (11 months) dancing around with him!

@twodoghouse: ditto-- my little guy (and his big sister when she was that age) was always instantly calmed by boobs, hungry or not.

If she isn't hungry, picking her up or wrapping in the wrap and walking her around always works.

With my son, we hold him and pat him on the back or butt while doing deep knee bends.

Assuming they're not hungry (since then nothing but being fed would stop it!) with L it was the vacuum cleaner. I haven't found a surefire cry-stopper yet with D but bouncing him usually works.

Holding him while walking around the house or taking a walk outside in the stroller.

Picking him up and walking around usually does the trick, and so does the pacifier.

Bouncing with him on the yoga ball. Stopped him crying every single time.
