Techniques to quiet your newborn
When swaddling, singing, and swinging fail...try baby carrying. I have 3 different carriers, all of which serve different purposes: Baby Bjorn, Ergo Baby, and New Native. To get things done in my home, I prefer New Native. It's one piece of cloth that is easy to just throw on and it quickly frees up my hands. You can pack it in your purse or diaper bag with ease. Daddy prefers the Baby Bjorn from 0-~6 months. Once the baby begins to approach 20 lbs, we use the Ergo Baby-hands down. The Ergo can hold a child up to about 35-40 lbs...so needless to say we used it a lot from 1-2 years old. It makes the baby seem weightless. So when all else fails, try strapping your child on to you to soothe them.

We have two carriers and are in the market for a third simple one, like the moby carrier so that both my husband and I can use it. Our son doesn't like the New Native so that doesn't work to sooth him but the BabyBjorn works occasionally however, its not very easy to get things done around the house. Any other recommendations?
ReplyDeleteClaudia has posed a stumper...nonetheless I'm impressed and wondering how come I didn't know about this blog...oh well. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDelete@claudia Hum...have you tried a rocker, bouncer or swing? I find that if you swaddle or wrap the baby and then put them in something moving, that also soothes them. They like to be warm and moving. If one of those don't work, we'll have to Ask MaMa Ke for some more techniques:)
