Great tools for calming baby
I bought this DVD for a friend after having used it myself with my newborn children. The time-tested calming techniques demonstrated in the short film parallel those in the book with the same title. However, those with newborns are often short on time and a 20 minute DVD might be easier than reading the whole book for those who prefer that method. Additionally, the swaddling idea not only prepares the infants for calming, but can help them sleep longer from the very beginning! We used something called a Miracle Blanket (check out their website) with our babies and found that once the baby was calm, the swaddling could help extend their naptimes from 20 min to 45 in the beginning and nighttime sleep stretches from 2 hours to 5 or later, from 4 to 7!) Definitely check it out if you are looking for ways to calm a crying baby and keep them soothed.
