Sweden! When faced with a fussy, over-tired, sleep-resisting babe, Swedish parents have the ultimate weapon: buffing. Parents lie their baby on his bed, stomach down (many use a baby-sized apnea sensor for safety) and then buff the babys bottom, patting it firmly in a rhythmic motion until the child drifts off to sleep. The rhythmic bum patting is thought to mirror in utero movement and provide a sense of security and safety, which allows the baby to sleep the whole night through. Source by hopewife
