great advice for the mums on here

Friend of mine had her baby in a co sleeper next to her bed. He was a good sleeper but once he hit 4 months that all fell apart. It turned out that she and her husband were disturbing him. She was very upset about moving him into his own room but the first night she did he slept for 11hours and never looked back…lol

Thank you for the advice – just have to remember point 4 🙂

If only there was a one rule fits all for getting babies to sleep. My neighbour was full of advice because her first baby was a good sleeper. Baby number 2 was the opposite even though she had thought she had all the answers.

wish I had these tips years ago

Mine are no longer babies, rule no. 1 wear them out during the day and hope they don’t pass out in their dinner

  I think they are the toddler rules – especially once they stop taking a nap during the day 🙂

I think patience and calmness are the hardest things when you are lacking sleep yourselves! But you just have to remember that getting stressed over it is now going to help the situation at all!

Thanks for these good tips

thanks for sharing was a great read

also important to get them checked out medically. We have been through this with our daughter and after 2 years we finally found out why she doesnt sleep well, she has sleep apnoea, stops breathing every few hours

Number 5 is so true. My bub knows if I am calm. She will also be good and stay quiet. Unlike when I am upset and anxious, she became surprisingly cranky.

  They can pick up on how you feel that’s for sure.

Thanks for sharing this great article. I enjoyed reading it.

A good read, thanks for sharing.

I desperately need help in the sleep department. We have tried everything, even attending sleep classes at the local hospital. My baby just does not sleep well. It has gotten better and we do get a few nights here and there uninterrupted but I can not figure out what is different on those nights.

My mantra was always “sleep begets sleep” when my little guy was a baby.

Some really good tips – thanks for sharing.

I just maintain listen to your baby, it’s great there is help available I think too many new parents head into parenthood with a fear of sleep problems, and this leads to anxiousness and failure.

So truly believe the children pick up your feelings. Being relaxed and calm especially the way you leave them at night certainly helps them to sleep peacefully.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing
