My wife says putting our baby daughter on my chest with my arms gently wrapped around her. The rhythm of my heart and the warm of my arms does the trick.

When my son was a baby, he would only go to sleep if I held him in my arms while watching ‘Law & Order’. Without such loud background noise, he would be ‘resisting a rest’.

Driving her around in the car works everytime

An iPod touch playing white noise constantly. Have done so since birth and works brilliantly.

Im very guilty of laying in bed in the dark breastfeeding and its my guarantee of getting baby to sleep so i can have a few hours sleep

A full belly and dry nappy always helps my baby get to sleep.

My baby doesn’t like to sleep so when he does we have to check he is breathing which often wakes him up. Such a cycle. This would stop it from happening. Otherwise trick is the car or feeding to sleep

Quiet peaceful dark room to rest
In and self calm baby and
Me.

Music and a cuddle – works every time

My nephew has justt had a baby daughter my go-to trick for him to have his baby sleep perfectly is a cuddle, kiss with a bedtime story.

In all honesty boob.. calms them settles them and makes them and me super sleepy!

Telling her it’s bedtime and ensuring the temperature is right,
So far she’s been alright!
A baby that loves to sleep,
But I can’t yet go deep.

The shussher machine is my one to go to. 100 percent life saver

As I am a first time mum,
The tips and tricks are yet to come!
What I have studied so far,
Is to play a lullaby or drive in the car!

What works for one baby might not work for another,
It comes down to the instincts of their mother.

A bedtime story with relaxing sound effects and running my hand through his hair. That always does the trick – sometimes i get snores too hehe

My last 2 babies would struggle to get to sleep unless I was holding, rocking them. I am due with my daughter this year and I’m hoping for a better sleeper this time.

Playing rainforest and river sounds through the relax melodies app. The minute she hears rain here eyes start closing, works a treat!

Patience and calmness patience and calmness

Running my finger down bubbies nose. It makes them close their eyes and drift off

Warm the bed with a hot water bottle take it out when you put baby in.
After a feed and a clean diaper. Doesn’t matter if he’s awake put him down than start cleaning and acting busy, folding clothing, tidying everything. When he’s asleep go to sleep at the same time.
