In the early stages of motherhood, putting your baby to bed can be much harder than you thought.
Motion sickness
The easiest and most proven way to put a baby to bed is motion sickness. You can do this both on your hands and in the sink, on a fitball or in a lullaby. This option is perfect for babies who have just been born, since similar movements remind them of movements in their mother's womb. Usually babies fall asleep quickly after such manipulations, because emotionally and physically they feel the presence of a loved one nearby. The only disadvantage of such manipulations is the lack of prolonged patience on the part of the mother, since the baby needs to be pumped until deep asleep. However, mother's muscles are not always adapted to withstand the baby for so long.
Falling asleep on the chest
If you were lucky enough to still breastfeed your baby, then you could always notice that he easily falls asleep after eating near your breast. That is why the bottle with the mixture often does not justify itself as a way to put the baby to sleep. We recommend that you leave your baby close to your breast. True, there were some drawbacks here. First of all, this concerns the fact that if you want to transfer the child from his hands to the crib, then he can quickly wake up.White noise
Usually small children fall asleep easily to the stock noises. For example, the hum of a vacuum cleaner, the hiss of a radio, a hair dryer, or the sound of water. There are tons of programs on the Internet with identical noises that can help you put your baby to sleep. By the way, it is better to accustom the child to his crib from a young age. Otherwise, later, with age, it will be much more difficult to save him from the temptation to sleep with his mother.
