Sound Oasis® Sleep Bear
Tips To Help Your Baby Sleep:
•
Sleep Bear sounds will not suppress a baby’s cry if the crying is
the result of hunger, pain, cold, wetness or unusual discomfort, so
please attend to these basic needs fi rst.
•
Allowing your baby to suck at your breast, a bottle, baby’s own
fi ngers, or thumb can be comforting.
•
Carry your baby close – snuggle him/her close to you in your arms,
a baby carrier or sling.
•
Massage - gentle stroking and massage of all kinds can help calm
your baby. But don’t massage his/her tummy before your baby is
four weeks old. You will also enjoy the feeling of gently massaging
your baby, but avoid your baby’s spine and avoid nut-based oils
such as almond oil.
• Music
– soft rhythmic sounds, Sleep Bear sounds or music can help
comfort newborns. Even the droning sound made by a washing
machine, fan or vacuum cleaner can help soothe some babies.
•
Fresh air - get out and about with your baby, and even if the crying
doesn’t stop, it will not seem quite so bad outdoors.
