Maybe you’ve heard this term or even tried it but what is it and how does it work? I’m going to answer 4 common questions about this method to help you determine whether or not it’s for you It is quite as it sounds in that, when your baby is fussing you pick her up, you soothe and calm her and then place her back down again while she is still awake and aware of going down. Then you repeat this over and over as needed until your baby is setting in her sleep space. It allows a baby little exposures to her sleep space and the sensation of falling asleep there rather than always falling asleep on someone. At the same time, the picking up and reassurance lets baby know that you are still there, you are responding and you ‘always return’. Your baby gets a little taste of her own sleep environment with the security of your closeness with the physical contact becoming a little more intermittent rather than a constant hold.
