Weighted sleep sacks
The deep pressure of these gently weighted sacks mimics the feeling of your arms, even after you've tiptoed out of the room.
91% of parents said they help baby sleep longer, mentioning the startle reflex settling and the 2am pacing getting shorter.
They work like a dream, but they cost 400₪ and don't ship to Israel. And no, you can't get a knockoff on Temu – their patent is watertight.

Exercise balls
You know the drill: Baby needs you to move. You sway, you rock, you bounce. And the minute you're still, Baby starts up again. So you pace the same six meters of hallway until your legs give out and it's somehow 3am.
Enter the exercise ball. You sway, you rock, you bounce – but your legs and back get a break.

Advice
Just kidding. You probably already tried everything, Baby is still miserable, and you don't need anyone telling you to go off dairy and soy again.
Hang in there. Baby will be a teenager before you know it and you'll be back to questioning why any of this is worth it.
