It will be interesting for young mothers to learn about the unusual methods of laying a baby up to a year from nurse Tracy Hogg. They will get acquainted with the daily routine of the baby, depending on his individual temperament, methods of whispering, a timer, bedtime rituals, etc.
Why should you get acquainted with this experience?
The books of Tracy Hogg “Secrets of a good mom” and “What your baby wants” have gained immense popularity around the world. The methods on how to build relationships with the baby, described in the books “Secrets of a good mom,” as well as “What your baby wants,” are unusual. Reading books is recommended even during pregnancy to understand the correct building of relationships with the baby.
Who is Tracy Hogg
Tracy Hogg is a 25-year-old nurse. She worked with completely different babies and their parents, and this experience is worth knowing about. She is often called the "spellbinder" of newborns, who has an individual approach to each family. The specialist believes that the child has been a person since the beginning of his birth, so the mother should carefully listen to him, respecting his desires.
Daily regime
The crumb mode is in direct proportion to his personal temperament. Significant for any child ritual actionsoccurring during the day. For example, turning off the light or a lullaby should be perceived by the infant as a signal to fall asleep. From the point of view of Tracy Hogg, the regime of the day should have a strict alternation:
- nutrition;
- activity;
- sleep;
- freedom.
Food and sleep can not be combined. It is also forbidden to change the sequence of actions. If these conditions are met, after about 14 days, the results will appear, consisting in a quiet sleep of the baby and the appearance of free time with the parents.
Whispering reception
Tracy believes that swaddling babies up to 4 months of age allows them to feel more protected. Therefore, it recommends swaddling a child up to 4 months.
Whispering can be used for an absolutely healthy baby at 5 months of age.
Whispering Procedure: the baby should lie on the shoulder of an adult who hisses rather loudly and monotonously in his ear. At the same time, you should lightly clap the child on the back in time with his heartbeat. When he begins to fall asleep, it is necessary to put the child in the crib, without ceasing to let out a hiss and slap now on the bed until the baby finally falls asleep.
The most important thing is that the child does not fall asleep in your hands. If this condition is met, after a certain time, the baby will be able to sleep independently in his crib. We also read: We teach a child to sleep in his crib separately from his mother (video, real stories)
Reception "timer"
It can be used for children from 9 months of age. Many mothers dream of weaning the baby from feeding before bedtime. How to do it? First, the baby is fed, as usual, the mother sets the alarm for 10 minutes, shows it to the child and says: "As soon as it rings, the milk will end." And does as she said. The baby will first cry for 40 minutes and demand food, but mom should be adamant. Let him persuade to go to bed, read books and sing songs. As soon as the child calms down, you need to put him in bed. After some time, the timer switches to fewer minutes. Thus, the baby will gradually completely refuse to eat before daytime sleep, and then before night.
Picked up, put in the crib
If all your previous attempts failed, a tough approach remains. At the same time, all the rituals of going to bed are saved - bathing, lullaby or fairy tale. You explain to the child that it is time to sleep and put him to bed. If he cried a lot, take it in his hands, apply whispering and put him back to bed, leaving his hand on his back. When he calms down, you need to remove it. The method can be used from four months, but for each child the time of getting used to falling asleep without outside help can vary greatly.
Many mothers find Tracy Hogg's methods stressful enough. It is convenient for them to sleep in the same bed with the baby and put it to the chest all night.
Scientists still have not come to a consensus on which dream is better - separate or shared, and whether the constant regimen of the day is important. Therefore, each parent must rely on their desires and priorities. Most importantly, do not forget to respect your child, observe him and draw conclusions.

I believe, from my life experience, that the best lulling place for children under two is still my mother’s voice, singing a quietly, half-whisper lullaby. And best of all, this technique works with tactile contact, that is, mom should hold the baby in her arms. If the child does not suffer from pain, then in 95 cases out of! 00 he will calm down and fall asleep.
Bathing before bedtime helped us. When he was small, they swam for 10 minutes, then gradually increased to 30-45 minutes with a circle. But friends, to put the baby to sleep, drove out at night in a car. Their child instantly fell asleep on the road.
To make my baby fall asleep faster, I let her get a little tired. She rocked a little on her hands, and when she closed her eyes, she immediately put them in the bed, pumping a pillow, singing a pleasant melody. This way allows my mother not to spend a lot of time lulling her baby, Yes, and the baby does not get used to the hands. A little contact with the mother allows the child to sleep peacefully.
Falling, what are you all busy with, that you don’t want to spend 10-20-30 minutes with your own child in your arms? All, go, world celebrities: scientists, doctors, writers, artists, choreographers, rather, to business?
I doubt it very much.
Carry on, because children grow up so fast!
