From the dawn of time... no not really, more like since the beginning of my first son's toddler years, I've been asked by other parents - how do you get your baby to sleep and how to do you keep him asleep? That my friends, is parenting challenge numero uno. My theory is that baby's sleeping habits start when they are still in the womb. That's right mamas, when you train yourself to sleep early you are training baby to sleep early. That's my secret to the start of good sleep but here are my tried-and-true tips (results may vary):
- Make sure baby is comfy! An outfit could definitely be the cause of baby not sleeping! Does your baby have on too many layers? Is baby too hot or cold? These are all questions you should ask yourself.
- Clean, dry diapers! We make sure diapers are brand new before feedings. I know, this should be a no-brainer but you would be surprised at how many new parents don't know this!
- Let them sleep where they are! This advice is mainly for toddlers. See that picture up there? I do not move Omar unless he might fall off our bed. Find out where baby sleeps best!
- Be consistent with bedtime! Sometimes I'm in the middle of doing something right at 9pm and don't want to stop but I have to. Babies like rituals and routines, stick to it.
- Full tummy! You ever get sleepy after eating? Same thing happens with babies.
Wishing you all the best sleeps!
