Congratulations! You've got a newborn and now you're out of the hospital and back at home. One of the biggest problems that I've heard parents say is every time they put their newborn down to sleep in a bassinet, he wakes up. That can be one of the most frustrating feelings, especially as a new parent, because all you want to do is put your baby down and then go to sleep. I've got three tricks for you that can hopefully help you get some rest and make sure that your baby falls asleep in. These are her bassinet. These tricks work if you're at home or if you're traveling, let's say you're at a hotel, a cabin or a family member's house. A new environment, hopefully these tricks will help you help your newborn adjust to life at home or adjust to life in a new atmosphere and you can get some rest. The first three things you want to ask yourself before putting your baby down is, is your baby fed? Is he or she clean? Like, do they have a clean diaper on? And number three is, do they feel loved, comforted and do they feel safe? If you answered yes to all of those three things, then these three tricks will hopefully help you put your baby down to sleep in a bassinet. Number one, you'll want to have some comfortable bedding. Now if you're away from home, something familiar, maybe something that smells like you or smells like the house, some comfy, cozy bedding. I like using really soft jersey material, bassinet covers or bassinet mattress covers, maybe a cozy blanket that you can tuck underneath the bassinet mattress so that they feel snug and safe. Number two, a noise machine. Now when baby moves from your belly to a bassinet, your belly is actually a pretty noisy place. You can hear your stomach gurgling, your heartbeat on all the whooshing of all the fluids in your belly. So having a noise machine like this one, with all these buttons and different options here can actually help your baby adjust to life outside of the belly. Again, it creates that familiar atmosphere so that the baby feels comfortable. Number three, now this is a trick I learned from my mother-in-law. It is a hot water bottle. Let's say it's 2 a.m. turn on the kettle, boil some water, fill up your hot water bottle and put it in the bassinet. When you're done feeding your baby, take the hot water bottle out, test the bedding or test your bassinet temperature, make sure it's not too hot. Then slowly put your baby down in that nice warm spot. This helps the bassinet be nice, cozy, warm, exactly how they feel when they're in your arms. Cozy and warm. Now I've used the hot water bottle trick with both my kids and every single time they go down into a bassinet and fall asleep. They melt into that warm spot like butter and every time I'm just like, thank God. And now I can finally close my eyes and at least get two hours of sleep. Hopefully those tricks help you get some rest in the middle of the night and hey congratulations on your newborn.
