Offer comfort and reassurance from "summary" of The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night by Elizabeth Pantley
When your baby is struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, it can be tempting to try to fix the problem quickly. However, it's important to remember that your baby is looking to you for comfort and reassurance. By offering your baby comfort and reassurance, you are helping them feel safe and secure, which can make it easier for them to relax and drift off to sleep. There are many ways you can offer comfort and reassurance to your baby. One effective method is to use gentle touch, such as rubbing your baby's back or gently patting their bottom. This physical contact can help your baby feel connected to you and can be very soothing for them. Another way to offer comfort and reassurance is through your voice. You can speak to your baby in a calm and soothing tone, telling them that everything is okay and that you are there for them. Your voice can be very comforting to your baby and can help them feel safe and secure. It's also important to be consistent in your approach to offering comfort and reassurance. By responding to your baby's needs in a predictable and loving way, you can help them feel more secure and confident. Consistency can also help your baby learn to trust that you will always be there for them when they need you. Remember that offering comfort and reassurance to your baby is not a sign of weakness or spoiling them. In fact, it is a vital part of helping your baby develop healthy sleep habits and feel secure in the world. By responding to your baby's needs with love and compassion, you are laying the foundation for a strong and trusting relationship with them.
