Baby can't sleep for a long time? Familiar to many mothers! Here are three simple tips to help your baby fall asleep faster.
For some children, quiet music or a lullaby is enough to quickly fall asleep. Others are lulled by Mom's light strokes. For others, a nipple is enough - and they already quietly snooze in the crib. Which method works best for your baby can be determined by trying different layouts.
Massage
The baby will be able to fall asleep quickly from stroking with his mother's gentle hands. Calm, measured movements with your palms or fingers will help calm the baby, relieve tension and relax. In addition, massage will be beneficial for muscles and ligaments.
Start massaging your face: lightly run your fingers along the forehead, eyebrows and cheeks. Then make a few clockwise circular movements along the tummy and chest. Pat the arms and legs of the baby from the periphery to the center. Finish the massage by stroking the back.
While stroking your child, use a calm, quiet voice to say tender words to your child. The kid has already memorized the voices of his parents while in the womb. When he hears a familiar timbre, he will feel safe, quickly calm down and begin to fall asleep.
Lullaby
Mom's soothing song is a truly magical remedy! It has been used by moms and dads of many generations. At the same time, any song can become a lullaby for a baby, if performed correctly. It doesn't matter what language you sing in. The main rule is melody and monotony. Mom's gentle voice and calm intonations will serve as a good sleeping pill for the baby.
Motion sickness
Another ancient way to help a baby fall asleep quickly is motion sickness. In the arms of the mother, the baby will feel protected and gradually fall asleep. Light swaying will remind him of the time when he was in mom's tummy. The main thing is not to overdo it with swinging. Movements should be smooth and with a small amplitude.
Some of the methods will definitely help your baby fall asleep sweetly. And soon the baby will go to bed without mom's help.
