A Baby Front Pack Can Be An Effective Baby Sleep Tool

Writen by Paul Hegarty

Carrying my baby in a front pack has enabled me to comfort him to sleep.. It takes some trials and tests to find a way in which to free yourself from the front pack without awaking a sleeping baby. When shopping for a front pack or sling, keep this in mind and examine the straps and fastenings. Patience and perseverance are key factors for baby sleep techniques to work.

It took me a few months before I could untangle myself from a front pack and tip toe away from a sleeping baby. At times when my baby still seemed unsettled, but drowsy, I would lie down beside him and gently pat him on the back. Sometimes he would awaken and I would have to try again after he had a play session. Other times he would be completely comforted by my presence and sleep soundly. If you do not want your baby to cry-it-out, you need to be able to give more of yourself.

Often this is very difficult for a working mom and the cry-it-out sleep method is then used. As a mother you will be able to assess your child's temperament. You will know whether you should even attempt this method or whether you need to find an alternate sleep technique. Some signs that your sleep technique is not suited to your babies temperament are.

Your baby cries and screams for a long period and does not settle or self soothe himself to sleep. Your baby is or becomes clingy and upset during the day. Your baby wakes up more frequently. Your baby is inconsolable. Your baby once responded to is upset and fussy for hours afterwards.

The best sleep technique is one that meets both baby and mothers sleep requirements with as little crying and fussing as possible. Many a mother, has held a crying baby and shed tears herself. Sometimes you just need a good cry and other times you have to reevaluate your sleep techniques and find an alternate method.
