A first-time mum from Queensland has managed to perfectly execute a handy hack, leaving her to have some much needed alone time and her baby sleeping peacefully.
Melissa Dykstra, 30, had been up the night before with her one-month old baby who was having a restless sleep – and all she wanted, she said, was a shower and coffee to get her through the day.
“There was a heatwave on Tuesday and it was almost 35 degrees at home, I usually baby wear her but it was too hot so I had to resort to other measures of keeping her asleep,” Melissa told Mamamia.

Such a bad idea. Increases the risk of SIDS. Never put a weight on an infants stomach as it impairs their ventilation. Mamamia - you need to do a bit more research before posting dangerous tips.
