Make Baby Sleep All Night

There’s only so much one person (or two) can do to get a baby to go to sleep. There are things you can use other than your own shoulder to help lull your baby to sleep.

A baby swing can be a good idea and leave your hands free. Set the swing at a slow and gentle rock; you don’t want this to be an exciting or stimulating experience. You want to make it relaxing so your baby can fall asleep.

A glider or rocker is restful for both of you. And good pillow support can be beneficial for late-night breast feeding - especially the type of U-shaped pillow that provides good support for your baby, as well as for your back.

If you’re on a budget, some parents swear by the practice of putting their baby in a baby seat (eg. baby car-seat) and locating it to the top of a dryer! If you do this, be sure to put the dryer on air only – you don’t want to overheat your baby.

A motorized cradle or bassinette can also be soothing for a baby. As a last resort, you can always bundle the baby into his car seat and drive around the neighborhood until he falls asleep.

Many of the experts don’t recommend artificial aids like this, however, if you just can't get baby to sleep without assistance, your options are limited.

Another range of aids worth investigating are ambient noise machines. These can also help mask household noises and provide a soothing auditory environment for baby (and for adults in the same environment). You can usually set such contraptions for a variety of noises, such as rainfall, windchimes or ocean sounds. A cheaper alternative, of course, is just to leave the TV on quietly in another room so the baby doesn’t feel completely isolated in his room.
