Default $100 free !!!

You read the title right. I'm giving away $100 for free! All you have to do is be the first person to show up at my house and get my babies to stop crying and go to sleep. Do this and I'll give you a crisp, freshly printed $100 bill. It's that simple!

Little rum on the gums, quiets them right down and helps if they are teething as well..

I know its tough to do, but if you ignore the crying it will stop when they see it gets them no reaction.

My grandparents used that technique. My parents? Not so much. I'd totally do it.

my kid was never the cry it out type, the thing that calmed her the best was holding her and then sitting down on one of those big exercise balls and bouncing gently.

I tried to let them cry it out one day. After an hour and a half with no letting up, I went into the room and picked him up. They are teething right now. Couple of nights with almost no sleep is starting to wear on me. Hopefully they will sleep tonight.

Put them in a pumpkin seat, sit them on top of the clothes dryer and turn it on. Knocked mine right out.
