There is no consensus on whether it is possible to rock the child. Being closer to my mother is a natural need of any baby, especially a newborn baby. And this is correct and quite natural. After all, my mother wore it under my heart for nine months, and now, hitting a strange and incomprehensible world, the little one feels protected only in the arms of Mom. The baby hears her heartbeat, the familiar rhythm of her footsteps and so calms down.
At this time, few people think about whether you need to rock the child, and then how to disable the child to swing. It happens by itself, it's natural for a young mother, constantly want to be closer to her newborn baby, fall asleep and wake up next to him, to see his smile first.
It has been scientifically proven that the first months of life spent by the baby in close contact with his mother have the most beneficial effect on future relationships.
But now the baby is a little grown up and it becomes hard for mom to constantly keep it on the handles. And the child, accustomed to the warmth and comfort of his mother's hands, begins to protest against such innovations.
A few tips
There are several ways how to put a child to sleep without motion sickness. While the baby did not turn one year old, in principle it is not difficult to wean from motion sickness, the main thing is to have patience. When breastfeeding in this plan is easier, because usually months to five children fall asleep during feeding.

Wish him good night, and leave the room, leaving the night light on. There is a chance that, having tinkered a little bit, the baby falls asleep, it may cry slightly. If you hear crying for 5 minutes, go into the room, put it back again, cover with a blanket and go out again. And so several times to the victorious end. This is the method of the American pediatrician Benjamin Spock, popular in the last century. It is based solely on parental restraint.
It is not superfluous to buy a baby a soft toy with which the child will associate a dream. It is also useful to come up with your own ritual of going to sleep. It can be bathing with the use of soothing aroma oils, dressing your favorite pajamas, reading at night fairy tales. But keep in mind that not all children are shown bathing before going to bed. Some, instead of calming, are overexcited, and maybe it makes sense to transfer the bathing in the first half of the day.
