The 5 S's

I can't believe this technique actually works, but it does! The Happiest Baby on the Block book doesn't lie. It's the 5 S technique that triggers a baby's calming reflex. The 5 S's are: swaddle, side, sshhing, swinging, and sucking. Jackson hasn't been one to take a pacifier very well. I've even tried all different sizes and shapes. With this technique, Jackson will actually suck his pacifier! He still hasn't mastered the art of keeping it in his mouth on his own, but one step at a time. This technique calms him in a matter of minutes and often puts him to sleep. Colicky baby? What colicky baby?!? : )
