Tips for Settling baby

what i used were.....
musical mobile or music of some sort
swaddling tightly
lying on her side (with rolled handtowel on in front and back)
dummy (my last resort, which i should've tried first!)


hang in there, there IS light at the end of the tunnel i swear!!

I found / find the music for dreaming CD to be fantastic. We've been using it for 9mths. Swaddling and a clear routine (in terms of feed, play, wrap, little cuddle, down for sleep with music on) help a lot. Also, when her put her down, allow her the first roar for 1 minute then go to her, reassure her and then stay with her until she is asleep. Try not to rock or anything but just pop your hand on her if she starts to get upset. The idea is you let them vent then try to keep them calm so they learn to go to sleep on their own but calm.

I also use a spray for babies called Calm Med - It is by Nutro Pharm - it cost $17.50.

We used to rock Caprece to sleep but I would try and avoid getting into that habit. A winner with us is a wee mirror on the side of her bassinet she loves it and it keeps her calm enough to go to sleep on her own. She was also waking every 45 mins and I think the mirror helps her settle back to sleep without crying.

Good luck

Yep, it's a stage and it's a tiring one, but won't last forever! 

Ella liked having music playing quietly in her room for naps - Brooke Fraser is a fave.  Shutting curtains each time helps, and I know for some babies having no toys around helps them sleep (less stimulated that way), but for Ella having her Tag Blankie in the cot helped - that way she didn't cry out of boredom before dozing off, she just drifts off to sleep happily. 

And swaddling/wrapping - it's a total winner of a method for lots of babies. 

i actually find that the ticker from Astins angelcare monitor helps him!!! he wriggles a bit when i put him down then as soon as i turn it on he goes right to sleep!!

He use to need something to get to sleep and the only thing that would work for him was puting something on either side of him so he felt like he was being cuddled or resting my hand on his face (good for nighttime!!) then he would doze off straight away and i could take my hand off.
But now he is settled into a routine so if he wont settle then hes either hungry/got dirty bum/or wind so i resolve the issue and put him back down awake and he dozes off (still with the monitor tick though of course!).

OH! i almost forgot! - his dummies have been a life saver also!!

yep tickers are good, just like our heart beat which they are used to & familliar with

Lil clock under the bed or something? tic tic tic....

Cheek & forhead rubbing?

I dunno how long your little one sleeps for but you could introduce a dream feed. We feed Spencer at 6.30pm he then goes to bed and I dream feed him at 10.30pm which then sees him through till anyway between 2.30am and 4.45am. Although at a month old he was still feeding 3 hourly during the night so it wouldn't have worked then.
