Line the bed rails with camping mattresses to cushion the daughter's blows

Mariana slept for one or two hours straight and when she woke up she assumed the fetal position and began to beat her head against the bars of the bed. The noise and the impact of the blow served as stimulus, keeping her awake the rest of the night. To resolve this situation her parents have lined the bed rails with camping mattresses to cushion the impact. This strategy has allowed Mariana to enjoy a more peaceful sleep.

Hair gel to calm down her daughter. Mariana has a fascination with hair. When Mariana is agitated she pulls her own hair, sometimes with enough strength to pluck it out. But her parents noticed that she didn't do it if the hair was wet. So they tried to apply hair gel and it worked.
