Sep 04, 2018

You love your bundle of joy. The moment you bring your baby home from the hospital is a very special one. However, there's also the struggle of trying to help them fall asleep. Sometimes it seems like you've tried everything!

Now, a Vietnamese nurse is helping parents the world over. She's showing us a whole new method. Lê Thi Ánh is a new mom who shares the same frustrations as other parents. So she came up with three easy steps that ensure a happy, sleepy baby.

First, find a regular bath towel. Roll it into a long tube. It's important that the towel is clean and dry. You can even wash it with allergy-friendly detergent.

Next, it's time to wrap your baby! Start by laying them on their right side. Wrap the towel around the sides of their body. Part of the towel should support their neck. Snuggle the rest of it beneath their left hand and over their right. That way they can "hug" the towel.

The last step is even easier. All you have to do is encourage your baby to sleep peacefully. Their towel cocoon should make this simple. Just rub your baby's back slowly and gently. You can even sing quietly to them if you want.

Notice how quickly they journey off to dreamland!
