Shhh....
When my infant daughter is screaming loud enough to wake Godzilla in his watery home (despite the fact that we live in Minnesota and he lives in the Pacific Ocean), one of the most effective methods for calming her down is simply to keep saying “shhh” to her over and over.
I'm not sure why this is, really, but I've heard two theories on the matter. One is just that it's white noise, and all people tend to find white noise calming, whether infants or adults. The other is that it somehow mimics what the baby would have heard in the womb for nine long months, and because of this the baby finds it deeply calming.
