NEW PARENT 411: TOP 5 TIPS FOR GETTING A NEWBORN TO SLEEP


Baby 411 • Fri, Jan 22 • Baby 411 is America`s most-trusted source for expert
advice and tips for your baby`s first year.

1. Suck to soothe. If you are so inclined, your breast may become the human
pacifier. If this approach is not for you, use your finger or a pacifier in your
baby’s mouth to encourage sucking. This is fine for the first few months of
life.

2. Move around. Rocking, swaying, and bouncing (you will have the
veteran-parent-bop down quickly) are effective.

3. Sing, in or out of tune.

4. Snug as a bug. Swaddling, sleeping in a bassinet, or even sleeping in a car
seat may do the trick.

5. Go for a car ride.

I can't believe that this app is encouraging parents to let their baby sleep in
a car seat outside of the car. Car seats are not designed for babies to sleep in
them for extended periods of time. It can be dangerous for babies, please do
your research and make sure your information is correct before you spread wrong
information to thousands of people.

Yes i agree. Im finding alot of incorrect information in this app. Thats dangers
for first time parents. I reasearch everything but this is disappointing they
aren't more careful. 😕 i guess they more concerned with the money instead
of the mis- information

That’s not what the app means by use a car seat it means go for a short drive
babies tend to like the motions of a car it puts them to sleep so a short car
drive will get them to sleep and you can transfer them back to their crib soon
after

Putting baby on your chest works great too. Or wearing your baby.

We stick to these night time rituals and can get a six hour night sleep out of
our one month old (she's been sleeping this well the last two weeks since we
started this):She only sleeps in her crib at night. Naps during the day are in
the light and in bouncer chairs or on us. Completely dark room no night
light.Big feeding right before bed around 10:30p (4 ounces breastmilk) and with
a clean diaper done prior to the feeding. She usually wakes up with a poo and a
pee six hours later.We put on the "shusher" ($15) noise machine only at night
after feed for 15-30 minutes on a timer to automatically shut off We use
the "miracle blanket" ($30) only at night so she has a tight swaddle that she
won't break to wake herself up.Since we discovered this ritual it's worked like
a charm! 😀 mother of twins taught it to us.
