If you’re finding that your baby is having trouble sleeping at night, there is still hope for improvement. Doctors might suggest changing things in your baby’s bedroom, like adding a white noise machine, a night light with a soft glow, or a cool misting humidifier. But what if you’ve tried all that and it still doesn’t help? There are some more unconventional things you can try, like adding some calming crystals to your little one’s room. Here, we dive a little deeper into crystals and give you 5 suggestions to try at home.
Using crystals is not a new trend; people have been using methods like this for all kinds of maladies for centuries. There was a dip in the usage of crystals until millennials started adopting this practice once more. We know that some people swear by crystals as natural remedies, but how do crystals really work? There is a belief that different types of crystals possess different properties and energies, and you can work with them to use that stone’s energy for your purposes.
That’s why it’s important to know which crystal is the best for your goals (in this case, giving your baby a deep, full sleep). More than that, though, it’s essential that you connect with your crystal and charge it with all of your good intentions. There is a thought that it’s possible to program stones to be more calming, if that’s your intention. To do that, you can cleanse your crystal in moonlight, in salt water, or in the smoke of a purifying incense. While cleansing it and holding the crystal in your hands, state your intentions. In this case, your intention is for your baby to sleep well through the night, each night. Here are the top 5 crystals you should consider for your purposes.
Amber is most likely the best stone for your baby and the one you should try first. There’s a lot of reasons why it’s the top choice: it’s soothing, relaxing, calming, and it’s made naturally from Mother Earth. It’s revered by crystal practitioners for its calming properties, and it’s actually been included in teething necklaces for babies for years. Parents should note though that the FDA warns against these necklaces because they can pose a choking hazard.
The good news is, your baby doesn’t need to wear the amber as a necklace to get the benefits. Instead, just put some amber crystals around the baby’s crib, and just below it. Don’t put any inside, as it is a risk and not to mention completely unnecessary.
The blue lace agate looks like a stone that’s been made from the ocean. According to Kayla Fisher, a lifestyle blogger at Academized and Paper Fellows, “not only is it visually soothing, but it has strong capabilities for calming the mind. The best way to set this one up is to hold the agate in your hands, close your eyes, and while taking deep breaths, visualize what you want to accomplish (picture your baby sleeping peacefully).”
The amethyst is another gorgeous stone that will promote positive energies in the baby’s room. Not only is it a calming stone, but it has some well-known healing properties as well. People have used the amethyst primarily as a protective stone, so it’s an important one to place near your baby’s crib. This stone is connected to the crown chakra, so it’s a great option for purifying the mind and getting rid of negative thoughts. That includes stress and anxiety, two negative emotions experienced by your baby when they have trouble sleeping.
As per Mary Thatcher, a mindfulness writer at Australian Help and State of Writing, “Lepidolite is a stone that you should use immediately before going to sleep because it’s known to help calm overactive minds. It also creates a feeling of peace during stress, making it a perfect tool for your situation.
Finally, black tourmaline is a soothing stone for babies that is also primarily a protective stone. It actually protects against bad thoughts and energy, so protecting your baby’s slumber.
Whether you’re just getting started with crystals or you’ve been using them for years, these are the top 5 options for you to help calm your fussy baby.
