Mom's secret to getting you to sleep

1. Pat your baby gently

After the baby falls asleep, if he is still emotionally unstable, the mother can pat him gently to give him a sense of security, and the baby will calm down after a while.

2. Play soft music

You can choose to play some soft music to help your baby sleep. Don't doubt the baby's hearing ability. They will respond to sounds as soon as they are born, so letting your baby listen to music is a good way to coax him to sleep.

3. Let your baby sleep on the side facing away from the light

When the baby stays in the mother's belly, he adapts to the dark sleeping environment. After birth, some babies will not adapt to a bright sleeping environment, so mothers can let the baby sleep facing away from the light, or block the light source for the baby to allow him to adapt slowly.

4. Pick up your baby and shake him/her gently

Holding your baby and rocking him gently is also a good way to coax him to sleep, and many mothers use it. It is worth noting that the mother’s holding posture must be correct, and the amplitude of the shaking should not be too large, just gentle shaking is enough.

5. Give your baby a hug

Moms, don’t be stingy with your hugs, because babies need a sense of security, and a mother’s hug is a good way to soothe children’s emotions. Therefore, giving your child a hug before bed is a good way to coax him to sleep.
