I'm a mom of two – how I get my baby to sleep through the night effortlessly and it won't cost you a single dime
BABIES learn their mothers' smell early on in life.
Mother of two, Mary, has used that to her advantage to make her children sleep comfortably throughout the night.
According to Fit Pregnancy Club, a parent's scent makes a baby feel like they're with them, even when they're not present.
Additionally, a parent's scent can reduce cortisol levels in babies, which leads to less stress and anxiety for your little one.
This helps them get good sleep and ensures they're asleep for longer.
In a video shared with her TikTok followers, Mary shared the methods she uses to ensure that her babys' bassinet smells like her.
