Chrissy Teigen shares the hilariously complicated way she gets her daughter to sleep: 'Esti is different'

Chrissy Teigen is willing to go the extra mile to get her daughter to rest, even if it means doing a series of complicated moves.

On Saturday, the cookbook author shared an Instagram video rocking her daughter, who was born on Jan. 13. In the video, the model makes train whistle sounds and tickles her finger over her lips to get her infant to sleep.

"We always joke that Esti is different from Luna and Miles in the way that you really have to do a few extremely specific things with her to get her to calm down or sleep," the Chrissy's Court judge captioned the post.

"She likes an aggressive rock where your back has to hit the couch repeatedly, a butt pat, a shh shh sound, a bounce between rocks, her body flat against your chest, one arm up and one arm back and some sort of clothing to grab," she added. "Those things all together at once are her recipe for sleep. I think it’s because I rode a jerky camel uphill for too long when I was early pregnant."

Teigen and Legend are parents to Luna, 6, and Miles, 4. They welcomed baby Esti in January 2023. In 2020, Teigen suffered a pregnancy loss with a son the couple named Jack at 20 weeks

In 2022, the Cravings author told People she now tries to "enter everything with a lot of hope."

"They say you get a thick skin, and it is true. You get a thick skin, and you're able to deal with the emotions better that come with being hurt or let down again," she shared. "But, of course, it still hurts. And, of course, you still go through it and you learn how important it is to be able to take care of yourself and go to therapy and to talk to people about any worries or anxieties you might be having."

"It's just so comforting for them to see people that have also lost and still have found the strength to keep going and be able to try again," Teigen explained. "And I think that it's important that more people keep talking about it and more people talk about their losses, so people know that they're not alone in all that. Because I think one of the hardest parts about it is you just feel like, 'Am I the only person? Why is it not working for me?'"

There was once a time when Teigen wasn't sure she would become pregnant again. In a December 2020 Instagram post, the mother wrote alongside a photo of herself in a tight dress, "This is me and my body, just yesterday. Even though I'm no longer pregnant, every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been. And I have no idea why i still have this bump, honestly. It's frustrating. But I'm proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways. I love being pregnant, so so much, and I'm sad I never will be again. But I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day."

Teigen announced her pregnancy in August, nearly two years after losing Jack, having previously told her followers she was going through another round of IVF in order to conceive.

She shared the news in an Instagram post, writing, "1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way. Every appointment I've said to myself, 'ok if it's healthy today I'll announce' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I'm just too nervous still. I don't think I'll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing."
