Re: Thing in a Book appreciation thread
Ok, I know it sounds crazy, but to give a specific example from the other night -

It was 3:30 AM, we had changed the baby's diaper, fed her, and burped her. My wife was holding the baby, rocking her as she was singing over the "Rockabye Baby" version of 'Octopus's Garden'

Our baby just wouldn't stop fussing, it was now getting closer to 4 AM.

I promptly switched over to "Thing in a Book" - and she cooed / sighed, and immediately relaxed. She was asleep within MOMENTS.

So while not the most scientific of methods - it seems to work!

It's become the go-to method to soothe her. I literally played it back-to-back three times this morning.
