Wrapping
Rocking
Patting
Feeding to sleep
Bouncing on a swiss ball

cold dummy from fridge
bath
bath, bottle/boob, bed routine every night
stroke forehead (downwards to encourage them to close their eyes)
rythmic sounds (eg shhh shhh shhh, mmmm mmm mmm)
jiggling (hand on nappy areas whilst laying down and jiggle to motion)
drive in the car (especially bumpy or windy roads)
trip in the pram (bumpy ground)
sleep in sling
