A bulldog clip on the back of the neck works too.

Or is that cats? I forget.

Abort before you let it get that far.

Blowing gently on her face almost always worked to stop my daughter crying - replaced crying with a "what on earth do you think you're doing?" look.

I have a non-marking, white rubber mallet for just these occasions 🙂

I found it depended how much I'd been drinking.

worked on both our two, for about 2 seconds, then they would invariably continue, not really a long term strategy as there's a good chance of hyperventilating and fainting.

You need to take a deeper toke before the exhale

I used to use that method with both of ours - just found it worked rather than being taught it.

Problem was

a) they'd often just pick up the crying if you tried to put them down so you'd be doing it for a long time.

b) as they get bigger it's hard work keeping them held out at arms length like that.

c) if my wife did it they always carried on crying as they reckoned they'd get a chest feed out of it so I was the only one able to do it.

Plus, daughter is now 5, and whenever she thinks I'm nagging or telling her off, she blows in my face and tells me to calm down 😀

Cheeky wee madam.
