Sleeping Baby not sleeping? Dads, we need you too! Rhythmic, gentle patting is a hands-on technique that can help settle young babies into sleep. The safest sleeping position for your baby is on their back. After settling, always gently roll your baby onto their back before you leave the room. These options all start with your baby in the cot :. If your baby settles better when wrapped, you can try wrapping your baby in a lightweight cotton or muslin wrap before you use the patting settling technique or the other hands-on options above.
Gently hold it in place if you need to. If your baby is crying, you can still try patting.
