I was talking about soft tapping only.. And shaking also means to a lighter extent. I use both of them n they are pretty helpful.

Hi Juhi, soft gentle tapping on the forehead is okay. Shaking not at all recommended as it can affect the brain . Use a cradle or bouncer to make him sleep. You can put the baby in your lap and gently give lap-swings.

You can do it gently .. moving your Fingers gently through the baby's ears or behind the ears are better ways of making the baby sleep..<br> If you are shaking or tapping then do it gently .
