That never worked for my kids unfortunately

My eldest had horrendous colic for almost two years. She would scream when put on her back, even if already asleep, and would instead prefer to sleep on her belly. We would wait till she was in a deep sleep before carefully turning her onto her back.
Our youngest, however, has a medical condition that made being on her tummy painful and she would turn bright red from screaming. So I don’t think this would have worked for her.

This article would have been amazing when he was a baby, such a hard bubba to get to sleep with colic

Yeah I would try it, when you have an unsettled baby with colic if it works then why not give it a go.

This is a great position for unsettled little babies too. They are to see the world from a different perspective and it seems to relax them.

Was shown that by a lady who had 11 kids. As colic was a big issue with my daughter, this lady taught me how to rub her and make her sleep. Worked wonders.

How blissful! I wonder what happens when you put them down?

How clever, and good to know for all those mums out there, that have trouble with bed time.

This would have been so handy to know when I had my boys.

I did a similar thing with my unsettled bubs but it was rocking them gently, with them lying tummy down on my legs until they fell asleep or my legs couldn’t cope any longer!

I wish I had this information when I was babysitting my niece. 😀

The technique looks easy enough but not sure how to get a screaming child into that position when they won’t sit still.

I wonder if it works for all babies.. like do they need to have an upset tummy to like it? Pretty amazing though!!

wish i knew this when i had my kids!

Wow, I wish I’d known this hold many years ago. It may have saved my sanity!

I tried similar holds with my first 2 babies, they wouldn’t sleep like that. They would only sleep snuggled into my chest. I tried with my 3rd recently and it stopped him crying but he still didn’t go to sleep, just wanted to look around at everything. I wish it had worked with my boys but I think they are too stubborn to do anything that helps them.

My first baby did not sleep! I used this method, got him to sleep, as happened when he was held. As soon as he was put in his bed, he would wake up :/

We used to do this for my daughter when she had wind and it would always settle her.

I love Saras account – she is such a beautiful soul. I do recall using this hold when my daughter was an infant – it definitely is a great help
