There’s so many hacks going around, but do they work Making sure your baby drifts off fast will give you a few extra moments of sleep. Parenting can be full of challenges, and being able to make quick decisions on little sleep isn’t easy The ‘French baby hack’ TikTok user @babysleepteam, who has 1.3 million likes on her account, might have the right hack for you. This “French baby hack” helps your baby settle themselves when they wake up at night, making going back to sleep a little bit easier for you and your little one. This hack is called “la pause” and it means is that you wait a minute or two before checking on your baby when they wake up at night. As adults, we all wake up in the middle of the night sometimes but as we have been trained for years we just don’t notice it. Baby burping for easy drift off We’ve all tried to force sleep when we’ve been uncomfortable before and it is rare that it is successful — well, we agree it is the same for your little ones too. Bugaboo experts say making sure your baby is as comfortable as possible when going to sleep is essential for a well-rested baby (and parents!).Another TikTok, @littleonesbabysleep, suggests in a video that has 84.9k likes that your baby might not be able to settle or stay asleep due to trapped wind. Soothing strokes Sometimes, all your baby needs is a bit of comfort and soothing for them to drift off into a deep sleep. While rocking has been a favorite in the past for many parents, with the image of rocking a baby to sleep printed across media, it can be even easier than that. TikToker @kahlmi, who has 3 million likes on their profile, recommends a soothing technique for getting your baby to sleep. Instead of the intensive walking and bouncing, all you have to do is gently rub your baby’s face. Start from forehead and brush your finger down the bridge of their nose, then stroke the eyebrows from inside to outside to help calm your baby. Not only will the skin-to-skin contact, and your presence, help to soothe your little one but by stroking their face in these motions, you encourage your baby to close their eyes — helping them nod off a little bit faster.
