How do you?

Question

So curious how do you wake your babies up besides pop, a candy bar or juice?  I'm 38&2 ... Yesterday I used my ringtones that vibrate on my phone and played them by his head (they use a vibrating device in the NST) and he woke up 5 minutes later. Anything else I should try?

Answer

Icy cold water usually works well

Answer

Go sit in the car..that always makes her mad.

Answer

Lay on one side, try left first.  Use your phones light to shine on the belly then take away after a minute to see if he stirs. You can try rubbing the belly for a minute then stop and see if that works. Or you can try to sing and then stop. My main point is to try to do something to stimulate him or wake him up, but be sure to give him time to react. He might like the light or being rubbed so he will be extra still to enjoy the fun. My baby can also tell the difference between my touch and voice from my husbands. Sometimes he will move more for my husband than me. Other things to try: bounce on a yoga ball, rocking, find a barking dog, cover and uncover your belly in a strong light, take a nap, eat something a bit spicy, have a little chocolate, wait for a bowel movement (maybe tmi, but my baby moves afterwards), or hold your pee for a little longer (again maybe tmi, but my baby gets mad when there is less room), take a warm bath, etc.  Just remember to give your baby time to react. Use your hands to feel too. I think my belly is losing some sensitivity from being stretched so much. Just remember that movements change as there is less space. You might feel less punches and more wiggling. Good luck!  Hope some of my ideas work for you.

Answer

Music! This baby loves to move!

Answer

My bc talks to him and that usually gets him up. And once he's up, he's up so he usually asks me before he tries to wake the baby.

Answer

You can also just poke around. Nothing crazy or jabbing but pushing around will usually get them moving/pushing back.
