Have a newborn baby? This study shows how best to soothe them

New studies have shown the most effective ways to calm and soothe your baby.

Water Wipes / YouTube

HAVING A BABY is a life-changing experience, whether it’s your first baby or the latest in your brood.

This study shows the importance of skin-to-skin bonding to calm newborn infants. It has been shown to reduce their heartbeats, breathing rates, and increase their oxygen levels. And the effects work both ways - the research found that the mother’s heartbeats and temperature synchronises with the baby’s.

Pretty amazing.

No matter what number baby you have on the way, you want to make sure they’re as safe and comfortable as possible. Water Wipes, are chemical-free made with only water and grapefruit seed extract and help to prevent nappy rash. Find out more here

    I’m calling bull. Water wipes are not only made with water as stated above and on their packaging. Anyone can clearly see they are made with cotton material aswell. ;)

    Unusual for thejournal to post a pro-baby article.
