If baby is teething, then chilled milk is best as it takes away the pain, still if is not going to work, give the baby a little bit of iced water. Yes water and milk, rub the baby's back as well they like it, or a little massage on their feet and the end of finger nails. Talk to them too in a nice and firm way, the little angels these days are so smart that they can truly understand you if you speak to them.
And if you are not getting sleep, if baby is awake play with the baby until he/she gets tired (sure you will be tired too) then catch some sleep. The sleeping patterns will adjust in time. first 3 months is every 2 hours, and the next few months will be more. It is a matter of mind set and looking at your little ones angelic face and smile should take your worries away.
ive been been with kids for almost 7 years now
