What to have rocking chair
What to do Hold an infant while sitting in a rocking chair. Sing or chant to the rhythm of the rocking or perhaps using a simple rhythmic tune, such as “London Bridge Is Falling Down.” For example, you can chant or sing: Johnny likes to rock with me, rock with me, rock with me. Johnny likes to rock with me, to help him go to sleep.
Why Build foundation for awareness of others. Promote ability to self-soothe.
