Mama's Magical Powers

Grandpa Bill came over last night and stayed with the boys, while I joined Will's softball team for a post-game beer. Timothy really gave Bill a hard time. As Liam told me this morning, "he was howling and carrying on like the end of the world." He has done his to Will a couple of times too. He won't accept a bottle, spoon or pacifier, he's got a dry diaper, and it doesn't matter how or whether you hold him or talk to him or sing to him...the only thing that can calm him down is Mama. Or more specifically, Mama's breast. Now I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer the magic into another comfort object, like a stuffed animal or blanket, by having him hold it while I am feeding him?
