Shh! Help Your Baby Sleep

Instinctively, we all know to say “Shh” when we want quiet. There’s no need to feel rude if you say it to your baby, because your newborn will find it comforting! Repetitive “shh, shh” sounds mimic the sounds your baby heard when he was inside your body. It mimics the sound of blood whooshing through your blood vessels.

Experienced moms seem to really have this down. During a newborn session, I will hear moms repeating “shh, shh” to their baby as they snuggle.

Then, the moms get an excited and relieved look when I pull out my Baby Shusher.

Tip #3: Use a White Noise Machine

They’ve made a device that will say the shushing for you! I used it with my second baby, and it worked like a charm. So, I make sure to bring it with me for every newborn session.

There’s a whole world of white noise machines out there, and I have several that I like to use for my babies and for newborn sessions. This is just one that is especially useful during baby’s “Fourth Trimester,” when he is getting use to his new environment.

Take a look around at all of the white noise machine options out there, and have fun exploring the possibilities!

"We were wanting pictures that would capture our baby while she was still small, because we did not do a formal newborn shoot. 

We did a 6 month milestone shoot with Ellen at my in-law's home in Madison, AL. 

We were worried that my baby wouldn't be happy after traveling or with a stranger, but Ellen made her so comfortable! 

She had her smiling and laughing the whole time, and we are so excited about the beautiful pictures that were captured! 

It truly was worth every penny!" -Caroline

Her mama asked for a special edit, so when I learned that baby girl’s name is a flower name, I knew I had to do something floral for her.

Her mama loved it, and I hope it brightens your day, too!
