How do you win the baby rocking minigame in Tomodachi Life?
I am having trouble figuring out the motion for the baby rocking minigame in Tomodachi Life. I have tried swaying, both by holding my hands steady and rocking my hips as well as by moving the 3DS side-to-side. I have also tried rotating the 3DS up and down or back and forth slightly. I can't get the baby to stop crying! Does anyone know what I'm supposed to be doing?
Edit: It seems it's hard to describe how to do this so let me give a prompt. How should I initially be holding my 3DS (flat as if it were on a table, the top screen perfectly parallel to my face, or something in between), and in what direction should I be moving it, both in three-dimensional space as well as on its three-dimensional axis?
I managed to get it after a fluke so I still don't know the "correct" way to do it, so I'm still looking for answers.

What has worked best for me is to rotate the DS so that it lays like a book. As I am right-handed, I grip the lower portion of the DS (the right side of the "book") with one hand and move the DS in an up-down (floor to ceiling) motion. I don't go very far - travelling maybe 6 inches vertically. The rate/rhythm I move at is faster than I would have expected, but the babies tend to be smiling with just a few small adjustments each time.

Answer 2
According to a post on GameFAQS
Rock the 3DS from side to side (just tilting it is fine)
If you're doing it right you'll see the arms lift and drop. Each time the baby has a different rhythm you need to find and keep. Just tilt it like you'd tilt a Mario Kart wheel when steering. back and forth, back and forth. Find a speed AND distance of tilting. When it sparkles once, keep that pace up until it stops crying.
Same with tickles, pats, and peekaboos. Sometimes you need to tickle, sometimes pat, sometimes peekaboo. Another thing that's not said is sometimes you need to flick their noses up. Just flick the stylus quickly across the nose to "boop" it. That works from time to time too.
Answer 3
Or you could hold the 3ds like the bottom screen shows and swing your arms back and forth like it's a real baby. It's not rocket science you know.... Although I can see why this little mini game can be frustrating.
