Welsie: Like pluf's gal, mine is also using a soft pillow and either her thumb or pacifier to confort her self. I sometimes just give her a clothe nappy to instead of the pillow, say when I am out and about. Think for a while at least when yr training, might have to let her make noise a bit, and every few min help her settle then walk off....slowly she'll learn to self settle. Easier now at this age then later.
Pluf: Yr ger seems similar to mine, rocking her or bouncing etc will make her cry more =p She just needs her pillow or napkin to put near her face or ear....very easy compared to my son! Recently she starts sucking thumb too....donno good or bad though, coz next time scared of hygene issue etc
