Soothing & Sleeping Tips *~*zZZzzzzZZZZzzz*~*

[carolyngrace]

I know a lot of this info is already out there - on other threads and on the internet in general - but I thought it could be nice to have a thread where we compile all of the best tips and techniques for soothing our babes! 

Here are my go-to's: 

1) Escape free swaddling! (Thanks for the video mcp6286)

2) Just found this app today: My Shush. 

It allows you to record your shushing noise (or any noise I guess) and plays it on a loop. DB likes it so much better than any of the other electronic shushing noises I've found. 

3) The football hold. 

DB hated this up until this week. Now he loves to be carried around on his tummy, draped over my arm. It's always worth trying things, even if they didn't work the day before!

Earplugs! Oh wait....

LO responds well to the White Noise app. I put it on last night after her last feeding and she was out!

All 3 of my kids have liked the bouncing technique as well as the figure eight rocking motion. It puts them to sleep instantly ?

DD loves the bounce and the swing motion too. If she's drowsy it puts her out. She also loves the sound machine on the water sound. I like that sound too so bonus it puts us both to sleep ha!
