Soothing Baby
Soothing your newborn is as simple as recreating their womb
environment. You want to transition your baby from your womb to their new
world.
We ask parents in our Happiest Baby classes, "What do you know about
your baby's womb environment?" Almost without fail, they reply "it's
tight" So, how would you copy that now? Swaddle your baby.
Parents will say to me, "But, my baby doesn't like to be swaddled!" I
ask, "How do you know that your baby doesn't like to be swaddled?" The
reply, "My baby always breaks out of the blanket." The answer to the
problem is not that your baby does not like to be swaddled. It is that
your swaddling blanket is not large enough to swaddle your baby
correctly.
