Back when my little guy was 6 months old, I would have gladly loaned him out overnight to anyone who wanted him, except … nobody in their right mind would have. At an age when most babies were sleeping through the night, ours was up every three hours. You better believe my husband and I looked like real-life versions of The Walking Dead.
Ben’s now 19 months old, and while I’ve mostly blocked out that time in my life, I’m not sure I ever fully recovered. So when my local Facebook mom group had a lively discussion about ways to get a baby to sleep, I was bummed I didn’t have this helpful advice when I needed it most.
In the name of saving other parents from unnecessary sleepless nights, I’m sharing the following tips to help you all sleep like a baby.
Other moms worship at the altar of Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit, which one described as a “godsend.” Designed for babies three months and up who are transitioning out of swaddles, it’s a snuggly sleep sack, but unlike most, it has arms and legs. (Note: both of these are only meant to be used in cribs, not rockers.)
Then, there’s this hack: “My husband was the master of the hair dryer for hysterically sobbing babies,” says Kelly. “The loud white noise stunned them into silence then lulled them back to sleep.”
Another mom found relief thanks to Alexa, everyone’s favorite auto voice service. “One of the best purchases we made was the Amazon Echo, which we could command to play a lullaby or classical music when our wee one was most unsettled,” says Genevieve. “Music was a pretty simple solution, but having something that could play most anything and adapt in the moment was key.”
And psst! A good Amazon Music station to stream for naps: Renee and Jeremy.

1. Use a swaddle on steroids.
Swaddles never worked for us. Too bad I didn’t know about extreme swaddle options like the Zen Swaddle, which has lightly weighted pads on the chest and sides to simulate pressure from a parent’s touch. “It has my 1-month-old sleeping through the night,” says Facebook group mom, Arianna.Other moms worship at the altar of Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit, which one described as a “godsend.” Designed for babies three months and up who are transitioning out of swaddles, it’s a snuggly sleep sack, but unlike most, it has arms and legs.

2. Don’t change that diaper.
“I took our pediatrician’s advice and actually didn’t change my baby every time she woke up, because otherwise she’d be fully awake and alert,” says Judy. “I used the most absorbent diapers we could find, only changed her when she pooped, and warmed wipes between my palms first so they wouldn’t be jarring.”3. Play white noise.
“It’s a must and a great sleep crutch,” says Betsy. The drone of white noise can soothe a baby to sleep and help block out sounds from around the house. Parents praise the Dohm and the LectroFan.Then, there’s this hack: “My husband was the master of the hair dryer for hysterically sobbing babies,” says Kelly. “The loud white noise stunned them into silence then lulled them back to sleep.”
4. Try a snoozy tune.
One mom swears by a zen instrumental called “Weightless”. As she says, “When my son starts thrashing and this goes on, [with this song] he is asleep again in 60 seconds.”Another mom found relief thanks to Alexa, everyone’s favorite auto voice service. “One of the best purchases we made was the Amazon Echo, which we could command to play a lullaby or classical music when our wee one was most unsettled,” says Genevieve. “Music was a pretty simple solution, but having something that could play most anything and adapt in the moment was key.”
