well our primary source of comfort has always been breastfeding, but gradually we've been able to introduce other things..

He is comforted by me just laying next to him (We have always co-slept so not a problem) likes me to stroke his hair, he'll also play with mine..

Also loves cuddles and being rocked in my arms, loves his Dad to sing they favourite songs together..

Just recently he has been falling asleep with no crying in his pram, and I just rock him and he falls asleep in there for days naps..

As they grow older they just develop more ways to be calmed I have found..it's great..
