Babies love a gentle massage,use some baby oil as it is soothing and comforting.Also they respond well to being wrapped up firmly in sheet (summer) or Blanket(winter).

Here are some ways from one of my favorite sites, Ehow.com:

Instructions

1.
* 1

Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it. Give your baby a bath, have a last nursing session or bottle, read a story, say a personal, meaningful goodnight to each of your baby's 47 stuffed animals 'whatever. It doesn't really matter what your ritual is, as long as it's soothing, not stimulating, and you're consistent.
* 2

Incorporate a "cuddly" into your routine. Maybe your baby has already developed a special attachment to a stuffed animal or a blanket. If so, use it. If not, try to foster such an attachment by carrying around the blanket (or whatever) as you go through your routine.
* 3

Put your baby in her crib when she is sleepy but still awake. Your baby needs to learn how to get herself to sleep. If she becomes accustomed to falling asleep while you are nursing her, rocking her, patting her back and/or singing your sweetest lullaby, she'll be put out (to put it mildly) if she wakes in the night and that comfort is (*sob*) gone.
* 4

If your child cries when put to bed awake, don't pick her up! Some experts advise you to stay in the room so your baby doesn't panic, thinking she's been deserted. Others advise leaving the room but returning at regular intervals (five to ten minutes is commonly suggested), to speak softly to her, rub her back briefly (but don't take her out of the crib!) and then leave again. You'll have to decide which approach works best for you and your baby.
* 5

If she wakes during the night and cries, go to her, but don't pick her up. Do a quick diaper change (preferably with her still in the crib) if you have to, then settle her back down and leave the room. Repeat the process of going back into her room every ten minutes or so, until she falls asleep on her own.
* 6

If you stick to this routine religiously for three to four nights, she should cry a little less each night and then finally, learn to settle herself into a long, peaceful slumber.

Tips & Warnings

*

Although most babies can be "sleep-trained" in three to four days, realize that it may take longer. Commit to sticking with it for at least a week, preferably ten days. Remind yourself that if you give in and nurse or rock your baby to sleep after he has cried non-stop for an hour, he's just learned how long it'll take for you to give in. The next time, he'll be willing to stick to his guns for at least that long.
*

If you've really made a consistent effort for ten days and your baby still isn't sleeping well, you're going to need more resources, maybe even professional help. Luckily, there's a lot of information available. Check out the websites, books and videos listed below.
*

If all else fails, consult with your doctor. She may be able to provide you with a referral to center that specializes in sleep disorders.
*

This method is intended for babies who are at least two months old.
*

Sleep-training isn't for every baby-or every parent. If you are truly uncomfortable with this method, follow your instincts and do what seems right to you. Consider opting for "the family bed," and keeping your baby in bed with you at night-it's a practice that has worked for many people.
*

Some people will try to make you feel guilty about sleep-training your baby by trying to convince you that getting up several times a night is just part of being a parent. Don't let them! Remind yourself that it's very difficult to be the calm, patient and loving parent you want to be during the day when you're chronically sleep deprived.
