The pickup/putdown method is a gentle soothing technique typically suitable for infants from 4 months of age (as it can be too stimulating for newborns). We love this method as it aims to teach your baby the skills to self-soothe and fall asleep independently, while offering continuous comfort and reassurance through your presence, voice, touch, and intermittent pick-ups throughout the process 🩷🫶🏻💫
This technique is particularly suited for families seeking a gentle method to change a sleep association their baby has, such as being fed or rocked to sleep. It can effectively address catnapping, bedtime resistance, and night wakes.
If you feel this technique aligns with you and your family, you can book a consultation or download our step-by-step guide on how to implement the pickup putdown method within any of our sleep guides, available on our website 🩷🫶🏻💫
