We tried so many baby sleep aids that we almost gave up. We’d been going for weeks, somehow surviving on just 2-3 hours of sleep a night and then having to face co-workers, family, and friends the next day and hope that we’re happy and regular. It’s not possible, sorry! Sounds familiar? What did we test and how successful was it …

Wrap

This involves swaddling your baby to restrict arm movements. This is because when babies sleep, they often move their arms in rapid, uncontrolled movements that can cause them to wake up again. This is helpful, but the problem we faced was getting her to sleep in the first place!

Turning on

Keeping the lighting soft is definitely helpful, but again, this was not a major factor in our baby falling asleep. It definitely helped to help her stay asleep once she fell asleep, but again, getting into a sleepy state was the biggest problem.

Music

We tested all types of commercially available lullaby CDs, classical music, soundscape CDs with sounds of the ocean and thunderstorms. None of this made even a small difference. It was like we weren’t playing anything! Desperate, we even tried pop, rock, and metal music! As you can guess, this didn’t make any difference either.

Walk on the floor / rocking to sleep

This worked a bit, but the problem was as soon as we stopped walking or rocking (or worse, we tried to put her down once she fell asleep) … forget it! The time to cry started again worse than ever!

The magic solution

Hallelujah! We found the only thing that worked! In fact, we had almost given up when we found it, but we had nothing to lose, so we thought we would give it a try. We found a science-based mp3 file that naturally and safely alters baby’s brain waves to peacefully induce deep sleep. So it sounds like a fact that every night you now sleep 8 hours (or more) through the night! Therefore, to anyone who is struggling with a crying baby, we wholeheartedly recommend this amazing tool.
