The meaning of ''segula'' is a deed, object, or utterance that acts as a charm effecting spiritual or material benefits. Do not think it is related to magic, it is a holy spiritual act and should be treated that way.
Now I'm going to tell you about a segula for a baby.

I have known several people for whom this has had an almost immediate result!
It is the act of being ''kvatters'' at a bris - [kvatters are usually a husband-and-wife team]
The kvatters are a designated female and male who serve as messengers to bring the baby from the mother’s arms to the side of the room where the circumcision will be performed.
Many give this honor to a childless couple. It is considered a blessing for the childless couple, that in the merit of being the parents’ messengers, they will be blessed with a child of their own.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe explains that the connection of the body with G-d is cemented during the circumcision, and etched upon the body forever. The ritual circumcision is considered greater than any other commandment, because it directly connects the physical body with G-dliness, in a revealed and eternal manner. The messengers [kvatters] assist and escort the infant in this connection of the physical body with G-dliness.
