In other words, parents can use the pram rocker to help soothe their little ones in a matter of minutes. The pram rocker is BPA free and operates using a USB cable, as per the description.
The NHS suggests going for a walk with your youngster when caring for a crying baby. The Better Health website explains: “Go outside with your baby and walk them in a pram or in a baby sling.

“The rocking motion can be very soothing for a baby. If you can’t go outside try a gentle rocking motion inside. Walk around whilst gently rocking your baby.” But it’s not the only trick you can try.
Alternately, you could try talking calmly to your baby while stroking them gently, humming or singing to your baby, or holding them close for skin-to-skin contact. A warm bath could also be helpful, according to the NHS.
It’s also important to follow safer sleep advice. As The Lullaby Trust explains, you should lie your baby on their back and keep the sleep space clear, whenever they are sleeping, day or night. More advice is available from the NHS and The Lullaby Trust.
