I will always remember an older relative of mine's advice. He said, if the baby won't be calm down, add a bit of whiskey when you make his bottle. He was a doctor!

My sister tells me the Amish she's worked with use catnip tea. Catnip is a sedative in humans (as well as a digestive aid that may help with colic, apparently) and is probably safer than alcohol.
