Mother uses blown-up rubber glove to help keep her baby asleep

Shared by Ana Duarte on 2019-10-29 10:52

About the solution

As it happens with most babies, after they are put in the crib and the person takes their hand off their belly, they wake up.

This led Melissa to have the idea of placing a blown-up rubber glove on her baby Olivia's stomach, allowing her to get some time to get other things done.

“It gave me enough time for a shower and to finish my coffee while it was still hot. She's going through her first 'leap' (in her mental development) so she's been extra clingy the last few days and makes it so hard to even go to the bathroom, so I thought I'd try it and I was surprised at how well it worked”, the mother explained.
