How to lull a child in 1 minute

When children refuse to sleep, parents use a variety of tricks. Some people rock their arms for hours, others sing with special relaxing seagulls, others are ready to carry on their hands for a long time... In general, what tricks mom and dad do not practice.

However, one nurse from America (Washington) came to the rescue of millions of parents around the world, who shared a cunning and such a simple trick that about 16 thousand took her advice of people. That is how many views of this video on the Facebook social network.

She rolls a long towel like a nest - as if mom's arms are hugging a baby. Alas, a parent cannot constantly carry a baby in his arms, and such a "cocoon" is able to resolve the situation.

Step-by-step instruction 

1. Take a large bath towel. Roll it up like wallpaper on a roll.
2. Place the child on their right side and wrap the material around him. Place one end under your neck and the other under your head. One foot should be under the towel and the other above.
3. Tap your back with light, gentle movements to make it doze off. It will take you a minute or two for the baby to go into a sweet dream.

What else will help your child fall asleep?

• Leave an open window in the room for ventilation an hour before bedtime;
• Bathe your child in warm water. Don't temper it before bed.
• Let the room be dark - curtain
• Turn on white noise - a traveling train, the hum of a vacuum cleaner, hoods (there are special programs for the phone);
• Try not to rock the baby in your arms. You can just vilify him by hugging;
• Adjust the schedule of the day if possible
• Try not to turn on the TV 2-3 hours before bed.
• Read books in a calm voice, play inactive games before bed
• At night, if you are not on GW, you can give warm herbal tea
