Had to share this. 5s technique

[TORino]

Has anyone tried this to settle their LOs??

It's amazing. 100% works in my little Tilly.

I'm on phone so can't post a link but of you google the 5 s calming technique on you tube there should be vids demonstrating it.

It's

1. Swaddling
2. Side/stomach position
3. Shushing
4. Swaying
5. Sucking

2 and 5 always worked for Ozzy.

He hated being swaddled, still hates restrictions. Think it's cause i had excess fluid so he was used to lots of room for movement lol

He was fed to sleep more or less every time for the year I BF him. At 1 year he chose to stop and now self-settles no problem!

2 to 5 work for us. The side thing though, I only manage that in the morning when he comes into bed with us (I get an extra hour or so this way lol). I hold him under my arm on his side and he sleeps soundly. I wouldn't know how to put him on his side on his own though and would be worried he'd roll on his front?

I think they advise to do them all together, but great if you don't need to!

I had no success with the swaddling blanket until I discovered this technique. Tilly has been mostly settled all day!!

A friend sent me the link of the guy demonstrating it on Richard and judy a few years back
