Finn's chanting...

Finn chants! It's so funny, he's been doing it since he was about three months old, although it took me a few weeks to work it out. We learned to chant at active birthing classes and used it a lot for relaxation during pregnancy, and during Finn's birth. In the early weeks, Phil would lie Finn on his chest and chant to relax him and it was a good way for them to bond - Chloe also found it a good way to calm him down (Finn, not Phil - we haven't tried it on him!) and would often use it, especially on journeys, to settle him. We suddenly noticed Finn would sing/make long, low rumbly noises before he fell asleep and eventually realised he was chanting to help himself drift off! He does it a lot now, often if he's in the sling, pram or lying on the bed. It's amazing to see him learning already about loving ways to settle and comfort himself. Gorgeous boy!
