The 5 S to Make Your Baby Sleep

in baby •  2 years ago 

Swaddling - This simulates the womb and makes the baby feel safe. Babies should only be swaddled when they are sleeping, not all of the time.

Side or stomach position - This is a temporary calming posture for your baby while you hold them; it is not a safe sleep position, but it can help your little one get ready to sleep. Only sleeping on a baby's back in a crib or other dedicated infant sleep space is recommended. Help your baby get more comfortable by getting the support he or she needs throughout the day and night. Made of soft and breathable material that is very comfortable and is fully machine washable. Keep our PROTECTIVE BABY TRAVEL PILLOW FOR HEAD & NECK SUPPORT with you to use whenever you baby is laying down.

Shushing - You've got the best sound system in town. To mimic the womb environment, make a loud shushing sound in your baby's ear. (If you become tired of hearing yourself or run out of breath, use a sound machine!)
Swing - Rocking your infant to sleep can help them relax. (Once they're ready to sleep, they should be placed on their back in a crib or cot.)

Suck - The sucking reflex soothes babies, which is why nursing babies tend to cling to the breast long after they've finished eating. Consider giving them a pacifier to calm their sucking urges and help them fall asleep. (Before giving a pacifier to a newborn, make sure nursing is established.)
According to new research, new parents' sleep enjoyment and duration deteriorate – and don't recover until their child is 4 to 6 years old.

But that doesn't rule out the possibility of taking tangible efforts to enhance your circumstances, such as your baby's ability to fall and stay asleep (so you can, too).
