Crying is a normal behavior in infants, who have no way of tending to their own needs. It’s a survival strategy, but it also helps build a connection between the baby and the caregiver since it typically prompts a caring, attentive response to the baby’s needs. But, some babies cry a lot, and for the parent, it can feel overwhelming and draining, especially when it leads to poor sleep for the baby, tiredness, and depression in parents. Parents nowadays are under a lot of pressure, with most two-adult families both working and busy lifestyles that leave little time for sleep and relaxation being the norm. How Alexa Soothes Your Baby Back to Sleep Alexa uses audio-sensing microphones to continuously “listen” for baby’s cries, and when crying is detected, it triggers a response, such as soothing sounds or adjusting lighting. All you need to do is set up a routine in Alexa. You can fine-tune the sensitivity level, which can help reduce the chances that Alexa will step in unnecessarily, potentially waking the baby up instead of keeping the peace. There are many reasons why a baby can wake up at night and need soothing. From birth to about three months, babies will sleep for 4 to 5 hours at night with several nap periods throughout the day, extending to up to 8 hours by six months. Wrapping your baby snugly in a soft blanket mimics the feeling of being in the womb and can provide comfort. Learning to swaddle your baby can keep them cozier and make it more likely they’ll stay asleep Motions and sounds that mimic the womb environment can be incredibly effective. Gently rocking your baby in your arms or using a baby swing can be soothing since the rhythmic motion can calm fussy babies. Replicate the gentle “shh” sound near your baby’s ear, similar to the whoosh of your blood flow and heart pumping. You can use your voice or a white noise machine to do this.
