A warm bottle of milk works like a charm!

Easy – I just feed him He is almost two, too (gasp). And I leave something interesting with him to look at and touch (book with sound, ball with soft light, mummy’s recorded voice, toy).

Put them on your chest and let them listen to your heart.

Pushing them in the swing to fall asleep when I was pregnant with second child.

I Created an effective night time routine and stay consistent with it so my child knows what to expect. Starting with dinner, followed by some quiet time before a bath, bottle and by this point, my baby is ready for a relaxed night sleep.

I keep the crib in my room with the TV on so he doesn’t wake up to any noise from outside.

A warm milk bottle, a book or 3, a toasty room and all snuggled into a sleeping bag with soft music playing in the background.

Routine, don’t let them get over tired and read a story to them before bed.

Snuggle up and hum softly in his ears my all time favourite childhood lullaby – Lullaby and Good Night. Works every time and anywhere with all my kids, be it when we are outdoor camping, on holidays or in the plane. Calms and put him to sleep in a jiffy!

Singing while rocking is the best way but sometimes that doesn’t work, then I’d go for a drive until he falls asleep.

Some soothing music helps my little bubba drift off every time!

Soothing music at bed time helps my little bubba drift off every time

My daughter is 9 so no electronics 2 hours before bed, she reads to herself for half an hour and then we have relaxed chatting time before she goes to sleep

I get bub to sleep by giving her a massage and a lavender bath.

Consistent routine and sleep cues. Fresh nappy, a feed, pop into sleeping bag and then into bed with comforter

Best sleeping hack so far is to spray a lavender spray in the room 30 minutes before bed time and to rub my hand gently over their hair and forehead , it helps them relax and doze of easily

Newborns definitely can’t resist a light rub of the fingers on their forehead and down toward their nose. Works everytime! Another absolute winner for us has been Sleepy Sounds app – White Noise! Works on the whole family!

We have a music and stars hippo for our 2 year old and an Ollly the Owl for our 6 month old. They settle really well with these items.
