The Old Shirt in the Mouth Trick
Who needs a binky when you can just stick your shirt in your baby's mouth and he:
a) Stops screaming instantly (particularly effective on long car rides where your boob is not accessible)
b) Goes to sleep in your arms (which he has never done even when you offer him the boob)
Seriously, WHO KNEW? Now I hope it doesn't have to be a Banana Republic shirt. I mean, I love my kid and all but I can't be sacrificing all my favorite t-shirts.
Damn kids. Always have such expensive taste.
See if a burp cloth does the trick!

hey what ever works! Sometimes I have to strip Levi down to his diaper to get him to stop screaming, sure we get weird looks in the grocery store or mall but he's quiet!

Yes! My daughter will chew on anything that has a seam. I made her a bunch of flannel baby blankets and folded and sewed the edges over and she chews on them all the time.
