Don’t ever let anyone tell you vibrators are a bad idea!
Okay, I am not *personally* a fan of electrical currents so close to my nether regions but The Girl and DIL gave me a great reason to buy one – should I ever find myself the mother of a crying infant.
It turns out, if you put the vibrator (appropriately washed and disinfected, of course!) in the bottom of the baby’s bouncy seat so that a) the baby is NOT sitting on it and b) it makes the entire seat vibrate, you will have a very happy baby!

I glanced at that post really quickly and just saw the “put the vibrator in the bottom of the baby” bit and it totally made me sit up in my chair!!!

This worked great. She was a happy baby through the night. Now, we have batteries for the bouncy seat but the vibrator needs a little “juice”
