What's in the routine

5 steps, each targeting how your baby holds and releases tension.

1
Containment Hold
Steady hands on chest and hips. Reduces startle, signals safety.
2
Chest Open
Broad outward strokes regulate breathing and release upper body tension.
3
Arm Glide
Slow shoulder-to-wrist strokes settle the limbs without stimulation.
4
Leg Milking
Gentle downward strokes release tension your baby holds in their legs.
5
Stillness Close
Return to the hold. The routine ends in stillness — sleep-ready.
The order is the technique. Stillness → motion → stillness mirrors how babies naturally shift from alert to settled. Research shows the sequence is what makes it work.
