“Everything you do should be done very carefully. You should not make any jerky movements,” Dr. Hamilton says in the instructional video that is currently spreading like wildfire.
He says that the technique works best with babies up to three months old. After that, they become too heavy to hold securely in the position required to practice the method.
1. First, cross the baby’s arms over its chest.
2. Secure the baby’s arms and hold its chin with one hand while using your dominant hand to hold the baby’s bottom.
3. Then gently tilt the baby to a 45 degree angle. Within seconds, your baby should calm down.
Take a look at Dr. Hamilton’s method here:
I thought this looked pretty amazing. It seems gentle and although I have no idea how or why it works, it really looks like it does.
