Night night, Baby G!

Last evening Ma and I were discussing how people sleep on their beds. Although it sounds like a weird topic to discuss but it isn’t, the reason being me sleeping with at least five to six books by my side and not having a proper posture while sleeping. So I ended up asking, how did I sleep as a child? Like when I was a baby or a toddler or when grown up? Her reply was simple. I hated books because they were related to studies and reading a story book was a luxury.

Sleep should always be peaceful, without disturbances. And when people say, they sleep like a baby, I, for a second, doubt their statement. Do babies really sleep peacefully or let others sleep peacefully? This time, during my visit back home, I met all my cousins and nephews and niece. And one of the funniest discussions that we had was how each of us sleep. While some complained the other snores (there are interesting sound variations), some others said, now that their babies are grown up, they can now manage a few good hours of sleep. In the midst of this discussion, my cousin pointed out something interesting!

Baby G, my youngest nephew, is only 8 months old and boy, his mom sounds like the happiest person to us. When we were pondering our questions on whether Baby G sleeps peacefully, if he wakes up in the middles and keeps her awake, how much effort does she need to put to get him to sleep, her answer was simple. She uses her magic trick that Baby G sleeps like a baby should. Her trick is nothing but a filling her baby’s stomach full and making him wear a diaper that keeps him dry throughout the night. She says, “In the initial months, we were asked not to use diapers to avoid skin rashes. However, now the doctor only suggested that we use diapers that promises dryness on the inside too because that will ensure that he gets his full sleep and wake up only when he’s hungry.” But does the trick really work?

Apparently it does. There’s some kind of unusual pleasure in sleeping next to a baby. In the course of attending a cousin sister’s wedding, we all were staying together at a rented house and I decided to sleep the night with both of them. So, when it was time for Baby G to go off to sleep, my cousin makes him wear a Pampers Baby Dry Pants and starts talking to him in his language.  Actually we both start doing that and watch him play and quietly doze off to sleep. At this time, my cousin and aunt walk into our room and say, wish we had diapers in your time and had the pleasure of putting you off to a peaceful sleep.


Baby G reminded me of Adi. Both these nephews of mine are real sweethearts and opposites of each other. While Adi knew the tricks of staying awake and keeping us awake till the late hours of night despite wearing the diaper, Baby G is a quieter version. Or maybe he’s just learning and mugging up the tricks from Adi. ;)

So in case you have baby at your place and still trying to find the way to put him/her to a peaceful sleep, try out Pampers Baby Dry Pants or find out more information at https://www.rewardme.in/tag/Pampers
