The lullaby is an old standby with a great track record. Most of the time, you can’t lose with it when it comes to baby sleep solutions. That’s why so many adults use it. The great part is that you don’t even have to be a good singer. Lullabies are so well-known that only a few singers will be off-key. Even better, it doesn’t matter what you sing. You don’t even need to know the words if you know the melody, so humming the lullabies will work, too.
Your heartbeat is a useful tool as well. If you’re the mother, baby already knows your heartbeat and that it is yours in particular. That knowledge gives comfort and reassurance when you hold him close to you, especially when you’re calm. He will start to relax because he feels and/or hears your heartbeat. Combine that with a lullaby and you’ve got two tried and true baby sleep solutions.
