It's 2:00 am, and you're wide awake. Your baby is crying, and all the rocking, singing, patting, feeding, changing... nothing seems to work. You are exhausted but can't help but worry about your little one. You know they need sleep to grow healthy and learn new skills, so will they ever sleep through the night? We've got some tips for how you can make it happen!
1) Stick with a routine - Babies thrive on routines that provide the structure that helps them feel safe in this world of change. The more consistent your routine becomes over time, the better chance there is for your baby to be able to predict what happens next during nighttime hours, which will allow them to relax before
2) Hide your baby’s favorite toys - Like the old saying goes, “out of sight, out of mind.” If their favorite toys are out of reach, the chances of them going to sleep quickly and efficiently will increase. Get rid of any distractions in the bedroom, so your baby knows it is time for bed.
3) Keep their room at a pleasantly cool temperature - Make sure your house is cool enough at night and that you're using light blankets instead of heavy ones. Very much like adults, babies also have trouble sleeping when they are too hot. Therefore, it may take some time to figure out your baby’s ideal sleeping temperature.
4) Play relaxing sounds or music - Experiment with this when you try to put them down for a nap. Put on some white noise like rain or ocean waves to help lull your baby into sleep mode.
5) Try different positions with your child - Again, it is good to experiment with this during the day when you are putting them down for a nap. Try different positions like sitting up, lying down, nursing while rocking them back and forth, etc., until they fall asleep.
