As my little one approaches two months, we’ve been facing some challenges during feeding. However, I’ve discovered that this odd phrase calms him down when he’s breastfeeding: “You got it, you got it.” I’ve tried various things—shushing, saying “mommy’s here,” singing, and readjusting—but nothing works like telling him, “You got it, you got that boob, you got it” when he starts to wiggle in frustration. It immediately calms him and encourages intense suckling.
“Davy Jones locker” said in the worst Trinidadian accent. Always gets a smile.

My daughter gets instantly calmed when I sing the old Mario theme song - like doot doot doot doot doot!
Toot toot from your boot boot.
I’m a bilingual mom, and my baby loves when I sing-say, “Monsieur Hibou-ou-ou va hou hou hou”—which means “Mr. Owl goes hoo hoo hoo” haha.
Whenever I say “coffee” in a thick New York accent, it results in an immediate giggle fest.
I jokingly say to my 2-month-old, “What’s the trouble Miss Baby? Would you like to speak to the manager?” when she fusses.

Lol, my sisters say my baby reports me to HR every time she cries.
Whenever I make animal sounds, especially a turkey sound, my son immediately calms down and smiles!
I grab my little one’s cheeks and say, “These are your cheeks, cheeks, cheeks!” and it turns her frown upside down.
The only thing that instantly calms my baby is singing a loud rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” or chanting “Dude… what?”
My baby loves when I use a silly, high-pitched voice and say, “Who’s this coming into my living room?” after a nap with Dad.
I get a big smile from my middle child when I say, “something… something… darkside… something… something… complete!” It’s a Family Guy reference.
I say, “Gott gott gott!” (which means tasty in my language) and it always makes him smile. Also using a Dory-style whale voice for “Vem är DUUUU?” (Who are you?) works too!
“You’re working it out” works wonders when I’m trying to burp or help with gas! He consistently smiles and often lets out a big fart afterward.
Pretending to be Count Dracula while counting snaps on her onesie gets a smile from my baby.
