The 5 S's to Calm Your Baby
​
A good way to calm your newborn baby and help them sleep is to re-create the noises, movement, and snug setting of the womb. Use the “5 S’s” approach to do this:
​
-
Swaddle your baby.
-
Hold your baby in a Side or stomach position.
-
Use Shush to calm your fussy baby.
-
Very gently Swing your baby when holding them or in a rocking chair.
-
Let your baby Suck on something (like a finger or pacifier).
