If the baby’s father is available at bedtime he can become a part of the transitioning routine by cuddling the baby so that the baby’s head rests against his neck. By using a soft, soothing tone the father can speak to his baby calming him to sleep. Babies are often soothed by the deep tone of a man’s voice and will fall asleep readily when spoken to for a while. You can also use a variety of baby sleep pillows as well.
