My mom told me to try undressing and then redresing baby, and it sometimes helps, or try leaving them naked with a towl or (human not puppy) piddlepad under them to cant any potty

Well, my daughter's been REALLY sick lately (and uncharacteristically crying a lot). The ONLY thing I could do to soothe her at times, was to whisper in her ears: "Mama loves you...Papa loves you...Oma loves you, Babcia loves you...EVERYBODY loves the girlie!" (substitute your own names)

Swaddle your baby in a nightgown or large shirt that you have been wearing so it has your scent on it

I heard that whispering in their ear works too. They can't hear what youre saying if they are screaming, so theoretically they will quiet down so they can hear you. Maybe you can whisper-sing to them.
