When studying mothers bathing their infants in lavender-scented baths compared to mothers not using the scents, the results showed favorable outcomes. “The infants exposed to lavender had a decrease in crying, cortisol levels, and time to fall asleep. The mothers also had a decrease in cortisol and were more attentive to their infant in the group with the lavender scented bath” (Sublett, 2013, pp.106). The mother’s scent of her clothing and personal items as well as the scent of her breast milk are encouraged and found that both help with the infant bonding and decreasing irritability.

The benefits of breastfeeding can create dramatically positive outcomes for both the mother and newborn. Stress relief and calm interactions between the mother and baby is a product of breastfeeding. Another form of therapy is massage which consists of gentle touch and kinesthetic stimulation. Calming music therapy helps with promoting sleep for the infant (Sublett, 2013).
