Help! How to get an overtired baby to sleep

[Janie]

Yep, I forgot to mention that we wrap (STILL!). And, like Kazbah, I wrap his little body firmly around mine. I figure being tucked right into me helps him to snooze sooner, it usually works.

Hi kellie,

When Ella was a newborn and wouldn't settle we used to put her in the baby bjorn. I would pace the lounge room until she fell asleep. She had really bad wind so this helped with this also as she was upright. Now she is 6 months old, and when she gets overtired I either wrap her up tightly or just rock her in my arms with music on in the background. This seems to work most of the time.

Good luck with your bub. I hope you get some rest soon.
