Fussy baby? Swish water in your mouth next to your baby’s ear
Here’s a pretty neat trick that some grandmas in Japan swear by. If your baby is having a difficult time going to sleep, drink some water (don’t swallow!) and swish it around in your mouth slowly. Place your mouth next to your baby’s ear and continue swishing.
This trick supposedly calms babies down and puts them to sleep faster. We haven’t tried this trick yet, but we will tonight. We just hope we don’t fall asleep before the baby and with water still in our mouths. Can you drown in your sleep from doing this? If you hear from us tomorrow, it means we survived.
