How to Get Your Baby to Sleep: 5 Things You Can Do

Sleepy Sammy
Sleepy Sammy

Sleeping seems to be one of the most difficult and elusive parts of baby-ness. I can’t tell you how many times I wondered how to get my baby to sleep more in the first few months of his life. Looking back, he was doing exactly what babies do, but I had this idea that he needed to be doing something more or different. Then, once I relaxed and decided to go with HIS flow, things sort of started falling into place.

Okay, I’ll admit it, we have a great sleeper on our hands. Sammy is almost a year old and has been sleeping through the night since he was 4 months. Naps have been spotty, but still really good considering all of the torture and mayhem we’ve heard while out on the front lines of the baby wrangling. While you might be saying that we’re lucky, we have also done some specific things that we believe have helped our little family get consistent sleep.

 

 

So, in an effort to maintain some level of your sanity, I hope any or all of these help!

How to Get Baby to Sleep

1. From day 1, keep night time dark and quiet and day time light with ‘normal’ levels of noise. This helps their little brains develop a rhythm that allows them to distinguish day sleep from night sleep. While very new babies don’t seem to care if it’s day or night, trust me, this will come in handy in the long run! I would stay as quiet and calm as I could while doing a night time diaper change and bottle, and during the day always had music on or people around chatting while he napped.

2. Establish a routine. As soon as you can, implement a night time routine and a nap time routine. For very young babies this may seem like a waste of your time, but it really establishes a solid foundation for the baby as to what they can expect. When Sammy was about 6-7 weeks old, we picked a reasonable evening time and started doing a bath then bottle at roughly the same time every night. We still follow that same routine, and that kid KNOWS the deal…he starts to fuss at 6:30-7 every evening and is ready for that bath come 7:30!

3. Decide what is best for your family as far as schedule, routine, etc. There is no right or wrong! If you spend much time at all researching pretty much ANYthing about babies and sleep, you’ll get anything from: cry it out/never let them cry, co-sleep/sleep in their crib, no bedtime bottle/absolute bedtime forex system bottle. Don’t listen to ‘them’. Listen to YOU! You know what you and your family feel comfortable with and what works for you…go with that and build your sleep habits around what’s best for you. But do agree on something and stick with it.

4. Decide where you stand with crying. It’s inevitable…babies cry! And they seem to do a lot of crying around sleeping, or the lack thereof. Being able to self-sooth and put oneself to sleep is a learned behavior and takes some training (for both baby and parents). If you know your baby is tired and you put him down for a nap after reading a book and some gentle soothing, he’s likely not going to just drift off into dreamy bliss with no struggle. He will cry. There’s a lot of information and even more opinion out there about how to handle this…so figure out what you’re comfortable with and go from there. The main key…BE CONSISTENT!!!! And be patient, sooner or later, they’ll fall into a routine and it just gets easier.

5. Learn to tell when your baby is tired. It’s not always as easy as it sounds…and ‘they’ like to say that there’s some magical tiredness zone that’s tired, but not too tired where you’re supposed to be able to put them down and get wonderful sleep behavior. Bullshit. They’ll show you when they’re tired, you’ll learn to recognize it, and there you go. Sometimes they sleep great and sometimes they don’t. You know your baby and your baby will learn what to expect from your consistent behavior in response to their cues. Our guy will stop playing, rub his eyes and start to get whiney…this is the start of it, then not long after that, the wheels completely fall off and he’s done. There ya go…naptime!

My biggest message with this to parents struggling with sleep behavior is to go easy on yourself. Sleep is a huge part of your baby’s world right now, whether he knows that or not. It’s important to take it seriously, but don’t kill yourself over it. We used to think we needed to be on a strict nap schedule with Sammy, until we realized that it wasn’t working for any of us. Maybe he was tired earlier than the 9:30 nap, or not tired enough yet so either way, we were all struggling. We now put him down when he’s tired! Sometimes he takes really long naps and sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes he takes 3 naps a day and sometimes 2. We work with it…and that works for us!

Now get out there and get some sleep! You, and your baby deserve it!

    Magic Monk Rasputin für Echtgeld spielen Dieser Ratgeber befasst sich ausführlich mit Merkur Magie online Spielen und Casinos die diese Automatenspiele anbieten. Gauselmann, der Spielautomaten Hersteller hinter den Slots, war lange vom Markt verschwunden. Seit den neuen Glücksspielgesetzen jedoch ist er wieder mit seinen beliebten Spielen in Spielcasinos vertreten. Dies freut sicherlich etliche Spieler, die endlich wieder Online in der Spielothek daddeln können. Doch welche Automaten werden angeboten? Und scheint die Sonne genauso wie in der Spielhalle? Sind die Freispiele dieselben? Das wichtigste vorab: In 2021 sind seriöse online Casinos mit Novoline sehr schwer zu finden. Einige unseriöse Anbieter bieten Spiele wie Book of Ra zwar noch an, wir raten dir jedoch tatsächlich davon ab eines dieser Casinos zu nutzen, da oft mit falschen Bonusversprechen gelockt wird. Des Weiteren wird oft ein Gewinnlimit festgelegt, das einen hohen Gewinn unmöglich macht. Book of Ra lässt sich zum Glück noch kostenlos spielen und es gibt viele Alternativen wie zum Beispiel Book of Dead, welches ferner genauso funktioniert und sicher ist. Auch Merkur hat einige Spiele im Portfolio, die ähnlich sind wie zum Beispiel Magic Mirror. http://checkyourlife.de/community/profile/shellycantara15/ Der Casinoclub bietet eine Menge an Einzahlungsmethoden und hat eine grosse Auswahl an Spielen. Den 15€ Gratis Bonus habe ich auch nach meiner Registrierung bekommen. Was ein bisschen nervig ist das man ständig sms und Telefon Anrufe bekommt das sogar mitten in der Nacht. Aber trotzdem gefiel mir die Seite vom Casinoclub und meine Auszahlung würde auch nach gerade mal 24 Stunden auf mein Bankkonto ausgezahlt. Im großen und ganzen gefällt mir der Casinoclub und die Tollen Angebote können sich auch sehen lassen. Diese Spielbanken muss man gesehen haben Es gibt auch eine Vielzahl von Kartenspiele im CasinoClub. Es gibt hier Blackjack, Baccarat und Craps. Dank der tollen Grafiken und der besten Gewinnchancen ist hier Hochspannung garantiert. Unsere Erwartungen wurden im Casino Club Test komplett erfüllt – auch und gerade in Bezug auf den Service sowie die Sicherheit. Fakt ist, dass Sie es hier mit einem renommierten, erfahrenen und absolut seriösen Anbieter zu tun haben. Als Roulette Spieler ist Casinoclub seit jeher die erste Wahl. Aber auch für Spielautomaten Fans gibt es eine ganze Menge zu entdecken.

    I’m Middle Eastern so my eyebrow hair is pretty thick but sadly, years of over-plucking my high school brows has thinned them out (seriously, why did we ever think that was a good idea?). My hair is also naturally curly so my eyebrows can be unruly at times and always need a good trim. I was intrigued by the idea of brow lamination although after looking at photos online, I was a bit worried my brows would look like they were electrocuted. But if there was ever a time to try out a new beauty trend (it’s not like I’m seeing many people these days), it’s now. And so, I decided to try it out with one of LA’s top eyebrow experts and see what all the hype was about. Brow lamination maintenance is straightforward. The first 24 hours after your lamination are most important – no makeup, water, steam, sweat or any type of moisture on your fluffy new brows at the risk of your brows losing their shape and hold. Just like a hair perm, your new brows need time to allow the bonds to solidify. It is also essential to avoid touching the brow area during this time to avoid transferring natural oils from your fingertips to your brows. After these 24 hours are up, you are free to follow your regular daily routine!

In recent years, the shopping experience has changed especially for cosmetics and beauty products. It is all about benefiting from the knowledge and experience of salespeople when looking for specific items. Contemporary beauty shops are really places to come and play while trying something new and getting advice, not just places to go and pick up goods. Dark spots can occur if the skin overproduces melanin. Melanin is the pigment that will give the color to your dark spots. This also called “hyperpigmentation” Korean beauty has officially gone mainstream. If Sephora's month-long dedication to the concept or the proliferation of Korean beauty-focused e-commerce sites haven't convinced you to try it yet, maybe this will: Macy's is launching a Korean beauty shop-in-shop next week.
