Here are the remaining 7 senses and how they affect your baby's sleep.
Touch: What is your baby touching at the moment they fall asleep? More than likely another human being who is warm and loving and comfortable.
Taste: Probably breastmilk or formula. Between ages 4-7 months this shouldn’t be a signal for sleep. Separate feeding and sleeping by a few minutes anyway. Toddlers-avoid the sugar and especially anything artificial. The latter has been directly linked to night terrors and nightmares
Sense of pain: If your baby is crying always make sure there is no physical reason. Please don’t just let your baby cry without checking on them!
Sense of balance: Babies have a sense of falling if put into bed on the wrong angle. Ever see their eyes pop wide open, their arms fly to the sides. Place them in their bed on more of a vertical pitch.
Sense of joint motion: Babies love to continue practicing their milestones through the night. Assess if this is a milestone time affecting their sleep
Sense of temperature: Too hot? Too cold? Aim between 17-20 no higher no lower
Sense of magnetic field: with babies honed senses I wouldn’t put this one past them! If your baby is sleeping north to south try moving the bed so they are sleeping east to west. The magnetic poles and electromagnetic charges have been shown to affect sleep patterns.
