What are some unique & unusual ways to help a baby fall asleep?

Question

I'm writing a book, and I'm looking for methods that aren't common. You know, the "I once heard of someone who had a friend" kind of things.

Or what people in other countries & cultures do. Home remedies. Whatever you can think of that works (and that doesn't endanger the baby. Sickos.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

- place the baby in a baby seat/car seat securely and put on top of a washing machine or dryer that's running (vibrating), and you of course stand beside the whole time

- put baby in the car seat and into the car and drive around the block

- take baby for a walk in the stroller

- from the age of 12m+ they can ride in a bike trailer ... my fella always fell asleep in the trailer!

- rub their forehead gently in a downward motion over their eyes; they can't help but close their eyes

- provide a pacifier and a blankie (or something for them to cling to)

Answer 2

My husbands cousin said they would put baby in car seat carrier then put that in the crib or even put that in bed with them to help baby fall asleep
