I have a technique that was used on me as a kid and it still works
on my 12 year old daughter. During the nights she is in need of
comfort (sick, upset, to tired, or just wanting "back to baby")
I am asked to tickle her face. What is done is a light touch around
her eyes, nose, and temples. It makes the person's eye muscles
relaxed enough that sleep comes. She is asleep in about 10
minute time.

As a baby I did hold her while I did this. For those who wish
not to hold the baby, stand over the crib. Get ready for a
backache in just the 10 minutes that it takes though.
