This simple 15-minute method proves to be the most effective.
It’s a familiar story. It’s late into the night, and despite trying dozens of TikTok hacks, book recommendations and tips from family members, you just can’t seem to get baby to sleep. While every baby is different, and what soothes some to sleep may have no effect on others, scientists recently set out to determine what methods might have the best chance of helping parents get their little ones to sleep across the board.
After analyzing the data from the films scientists settled on a simple 15-minute method that worked for a majority of the babies. During this 15-minute period researchers recommend that parents pick up their crying baby, walk around with them for five minutes – without any abrupt stops or sudden changes in direction – and then sit down and hold them for five to eight minutes before laying them down again.
While movement soothed most babies to sleep, many awoke when put straight to bed after time spent walking around. To ease the sudden separation from parent which scientists believed caused babies to be roused from their sleep, they incorporated a short sitting period with the sleeping babies before laying them down. This led to a greater number of babies falling asleep and staying asleep.
