Love Baby Love Sleep

Training a puppy to sleep straight through the night is one of the first forms of training you will want to build with your new puppy. The fact is - a puppy is a baby, and like a newborn baby he will wake many times in the night for the first few weeks. You do not have to be fully hostage to your puppy's whims however, and it is possible to gently train him to sleep soundly straight through the night. The key is to take a few basic 'common sense' approaches to bedtime and your puppy in order to begin the good habits that will lead to a lifetime of sound sleep.

The first step in training a puppy to sleep straight through the night is to thought about operate his evenings to ensure he is ready to sleep when the time comes. Puppies in fact sleep a lot, but if you allow him to sleep away the evening then he will awake refreshed and ready to play just as you are getting ready for bed.

Keep him awake with active play, time outdoors, and fun activities - wear him out so he will fall gratefully to sleep when the time comes for bed. Controlling his food and water intake is also important. In general plan to restrict passage to food and water up to 3 hours before bed. Take him out for a potty break just before retiring for the night.

The next key to training a puppy to sleep straight through the night lies in putting middle of the night potty breaks on a schedule. In general potty breaks for puppies that are 7-9 weeks old need to be every 2 hours, at 9-14 weeks this stretches to 3 hours, and at 14 weeks and up, it becomes every 4 hours.

Baby Sleeping Tips - Easy Remedies For Baby Sleep Problems

Love Baby Love Sleep

Are there evenings when you feel that your baby's sleeping patterns will never be regulated? Can you fantasize a time when your baby will sleep long sufficient for the two of you to feel refreshed and rested? Parents know that there is no way to avoid the occasional night in the nursery rocker, but how can we keep those nights with baby sleeping very dinky or not at all to a bare minimum?

A common examine that new parents ask is, "How long will it be before we can get baby sleeping on a schedule?" or "When will we be able to sleep straight through the night without waking up a dozen times?" Does this sound like you on your last visit to the pediatrician? Some lucky parents brag that they have never been plagued with sleep problems at all but the acknowledge to those common questions agreeing to the experts is that the average time when babies start sleeping straight through the night is a year or so.

When you are sleep deprived and can hardly keep your eyes open the last thing you want to hear is that you will have to wait a year or more for relief. Some desperate moms have even questioned why there are sleeping pills for grownups and no baby sleeping aids or remedies. I believe in the natural coming to parenting whenever possible, but I have to admit succumbing to panic due to exhaustion myself. However, I knew that I needed methods to help my baby sleep naturally. In my quest I found a few things that worked and I am more than happy to share my methods with you.

The first episode may be easiest and yet the most important: don't wait until a few minutes before bedtime to start fretting about how to get baby to sleep. I found that the best way to get an infant to sleep at night starts with a disposition that's put into convention as early as possible.

(1. Establish the nursery to be an ideal sleep environment. Create a space that can be darkened authentically straight through the use of room darkening window treatments.

(2. Locate the nursery in a quiet part of your home and have some method of creating white noise to block out street traffic and household chatter.

(3. Take time to read the telltale signs that your baby is sleepy. When baby gets fussy or when your see the eyelids droop, stop what you are doing and kick off the bedtime routine. Don't miss this occasion or you may regret it. Babies can go from the drowsy stage to hyperactive, unhappy creatures with a second wind in description time. If there ever was an instance in parenting when timing is important, this could be it.

Every mother's process for relaxing her baby is unique, there is no specific set of rules for what should be involved. Anything your baby sleeping disposition works out to be; stick to it. Try not to vary from it from day to day. The best way to an ideal baby sleep routine, relies on mom having a routine.
You will have a calmer and more certain child if you are so predictable that baby all the time knows exactly what happens next.

(4. Stick intimately to a schedule. Have a certain time that you dress baby for the crib. A mum whose newborn had an erratic sleeping pattern shared with me that she stuck to a rigid disposition for over a week and roughly crumbled more than once. Then roughly magically the baby began to acknowledge and started to stick with an early bedtime.

(5. If baby seems unhappy or fussy, many mothers have had exquisite results with baby slings. It makes sense that some babies need some time to adjust to the world. These sensitive souls miss the petition of your body and feeling close to you at all times. Perhaps the use of a sling will get you straight through this duration of adjustment and allow you to get a few chores done while you're at it.

(6. Someone else way to ease baby into our strange world is with white noise. There are white noise machines that intimately mimic the sounds that are common in your womb, but if your funds is tight a table fan may do the trick.

(7. How many nights have we put our dinky ones to sleep only to have them get wide awake, when they feel the change in temperature from our arms to the cold crib sheet? A solution to this baby sleep qoute is to put a warm water bottle inside the baby's bed as part of your bedtime routine. When the time comes for you to put baby into her crib, remove the water bottle and slip baby into the warm and cozy crib.

The list of baby sleeping tips could go on and on. What works for one baby might not yield results with another. However, calm, loving persistence and repetition will be the basic construction blocks for developing your newborn's regular sleeping patterns that will relax her and let both of you start sleeping like a baby.

How To recognize Overfeeding Baby Symptoms

Love Baby Love Sleep

It is fully natural for newborn babies to nurse all the time. Even if they are full, infants will continuously ask to be fed every now and then. Because of this, some mothers find it very hard to tell when to continue or to stop nursing.

However, this is one trait that all new mothers should build as over feeding your babies can lead to quite a estimate of problems. So if you need a hand, here are some of the most coarse overfeeding baby symptoms that you should look out for in your infants.

One of the most determined overfeeding baby symptoms is unusually frequent bowel movement. Babies aged one month or older regularly remove their bowels twice a day. Those who do so more often than this might be overfed. Some overweight infants can have six or more stools a day. Apart from that, green, watery and explosive stools are also very coarse signs of overfeeding.

Naturally, an overfed baby tends to be overweight. Normally, babies can gain one pound of body weight per week. Gaining weight beyond this can be a potential sign of overfeeding. So be very mindful of this every time you go on that habit doctor's check-up. Or great yet, make it a habit to monitor your baby's weight at home as often as you maybe can.

The milk supply of the mom can also be used as a gauge to tell if the baby is overfed or not. Mothers with over abundant milk supply are most likely over feeding their babies. These mothers regularly have a very strong milk ejection reflex and can spurt out milk at larger amounts than normal. This can cause the baby to gag and swallow air, which can at last lead to stomach pains and colic. One good way to correlate overproduction of milk is by pumping out the milk with the use of a breast pump. However, the type of breast pump used and the time of the day that the milk is taken can largely influence the volume extracted.

Frequent crying and bad temper are also coarse overfeeding baby symptoms. An overfed baby is often grumpy and will steadily gain weight at a very short period of time. They are also very irritable and may have issue sleeping. Babies regularly love to be nursed by their mothers. Overfeeding however, can be very unpleasant for infants. So be very mindful of your baby's attitude when nursing. If you continue ignoring these overfeeding baby symptoms, your baby may spend lesser and lesser time nursing and will only do so when he or she becomes very hungry. Infants who reach this stage may become dangerously dehydrated and may drastically lose weight. As a result, mothers may be forced to wean their infants at a very early age.

One of the best ways to preclude overfeeding your baby is to simply sell out your milk supply. However, it is very important to do this very gradually. You can start out by nursing your baby with only one breast per feeding session.

Feeding the baby with only one breast per feeding session gives him or her more hind milk. Hind milk is the last milk that comes out of the mother's breast, which has very high amounts of fats and calories. Decreasing the estimate of milk per feeding session also prevents stomach distension and colic. This way, the milk goes through the baby's digestive theory at a quarterly speed and most of the nutrients are absorbed into the body.

If the above mentioned formula does not work, you can cut back on the feeding amounts even more. No matter how often your baby asks to be fed, you should feed your baby only once every three hours. But first, make sure that your baby has been diagnosed by a certified medical expert as an overweight and overfed baby before adapting this type of routine.

The Dangers of Giving Your Baby Cereal in a Bottle

Love Baby Love Sleep

Many parents have been adding cereal to their babies bottles with the hopes that baby will sleep great straight through the night or because they feel the baby is not getting enough to eat.

If you've heard the statements, "Add cereal to your babies bottle and he'll sleep for 5 hours" or "If your baby enduringly wants to nurse or seems hungry, add cereal to the bottle," know that those are myths and not facts.

Your baby gets enough cusine from breast milk or method for the first 6 months of life. In fact, many medical experts agree that introducing cereal before 4 months of age can cause food allergies. Additionally, adding cereal to your babies bottle is a bad idea. Period.

Experts like Dr. Alan Greene, M.D. Believe that the sucking and swallowing actions are not fully coordinated in some children, which can lead to pulmonary problems because they can inhale small amounts of rice cereal in their lungs.

What other dangers are there with adding cereal to a babies bottle? For one thing, your child could very well be on the road to obesity. The extra calories in the cereal itself is enough to teach your child to overeat. When your child is at least 4 months of age, it is more favorable to introduce cereal by feeding your baby with a spoon. Not only does this teach them to learn to eat from a spoon, but it also allows them to rest in in the middle of and it helps the baby learn the proper way to eat.

Well, what about your mother, and your grandmother, and your sister, and all those habitancy who swear that adding cereal to a babies bottle will help them sleep and stay satisfied longer? Dr. Alan Greene, M.D. States, "I guess the guess is that kids do fall asleep a bit more quickly, and some babies may even go a bit longer in the middle of feedings. There is no scientific evidence, though, to keep the claim that cereal in the bottle will help an infant increase total sleep or decrease crying."'

The American Academy of Pediatrics also advises against feeding a baby cereal from a bottle. The only time feeding a baby cereal in a bottle is when your Pediatrician recommends it to help with reflux.

Obesity. Food Allergies. Pulmonary problems. Bad eating habits. Those are all enough reasons to steer away from giving your baby a bottle of cereal. You may be happy you did.

Baby Shower Thank You Notes - You Deserve Help, hereafter Mom

Love Baby Love Sleep

Writing baby shower thank you notes seems simple. However, with a million things to do as an expectant mother, the biggest challenge is finding the time. The sheer labor (pardon the pun) of mailing and writing all of your baby shower thank you notes can be overwhelming.

Ideally, every person would get a handwritten thank you for their baby gift. However, if you just don't have the time to write everyone, there is a loophole. Formal etiquette for gift thank you notes is that a card is not required in cases where the giver was present for the opportunity of the gift and received a thank you in person.

Use this as a polite dividing line if you are short on time.

You need help. Delegate. When somebody asks you, "Is there anyone I can do?" You say, "Yes." If no one has specifically offered to help, ask. every person wants to help out the most foremost person in the word--and that's You expectant Mom. Assemble a team of your biggest fans.

If one task is too much, then delegate that task to a couple of people. You can have friends or family members help you by doing part of or all of the following:

1) If you don't have them already, get person on Team Mom to pick out and purchase the baby shower thank you notes or some cute stationary sets.

2) You'll need stamps. Send person to get them or have the post office deliver them to you.

3) Put the stamps on the envelopes. Heck, if the person who drops off the stamps, comes in for coffee. Ta-dah! You have a excellent coffee-time task.

4) Assemble a list of current addresses via group E-mail or calling population over the phone.

5) Address the baby shower thank you card envelopes. Once again, if you get somebody else to do whole four for you or with you, there's a shot that when the person comes over to give you the list you can do the coffee thing again and have her help you.

6) Bonus delegation task--Put Dad be in fee of writing the thank you notes, and the two of you sign them. Suitable explanations: My knuckles are sore and swollen. He wants to be an active Daddy.

You can close your baby shower thank you cards without setting aside an entire afternoon or day. What Mom or Mom-to-Be has that much free time? Use these uncomplicated steps:

1) Address and stamp all the envelopes in advance. (See above)

2) Write on the flip-side of the gift tag for each present a nice annotation about the gift. Alternatively, if you threw away all the tags, you can just put a note in each envelope saying who sent what and something nice about it. (Ex. Carol-stork diaper basket-cute sailor hat on stork) This insures you do not have to waste time finding up the strict spelling of the giver's name or struggle to remember who gave you what.

3) Put the labeled gift tags or notes in corresponding envelopes.

4) Print out a thank you note template or sample note to base your cards on such as the ones found at http://www.my-thank-you-site.com/sample-thank-you-note-wording.html .

5) Carry a few envelopes and blank cards with you. When you are waiting at that next doctor's appointment, fill out a few. Other good times to do this include, waiting for food at a restaurant, in in the middle of cycles of laundry, when you can't sleep, and while commercials (instead of holding the fast forward button on the Tivo). The great thing about doing a few or just one at a time is that it keeps your handwriting neat.

6) Drop your complete cards in the nearest mailbox immediately. Do not wait to mail them from home all at once. Just put them in the mail. This way you will have to hurry up and close the rest soon, and your stack will be smaller. You can delegate this task, but some people, have a tendency to "forget." Make sure it is somebody reliable.

Newborn Baby Checklist - A complete List of Newborn Needs For the New Mom

Love Baby Love Sleep

The long awaited day is practically here! Soon you will hold a costly baby in your arms, and you want all things to be perfect!

Bringing home a newborn baby, especially when it is your first, can be daunting. Such big changes and unknowns can cause a new mom stress. "De-stressify" your preparation with this newborn baby checklist. It will help give you the belief to know you are prepared!

The following newborn baby checklist can be used as a guideline in the quest to be prepared for your new arrival. While no checklist will have you prepared for all things (like seeing out your mother-in-law will be arrival to "help" for a few weeks), this one ought to come close!

Clothing - Newborn babies grow into the next size very quickly! Don't go crazy purchasing the tiny newborn clothing items, or you may find that your baby has outgrown them before he/she has even had a occasion to try them on! By the time your baby is about 8-9 pounds, you will need the 3 month old clothing (these will last until your baby is about 12 pounds). Some larger babies even skip the newborn size altogether!

The quantities listed here are based on the assumption that you will be washing your laundry at least 2 times per week.
5-10 newborn sized outfits 2 sweaters 5-7 sleepwear 2-4 wearable blankets or sleep sacks 4-6 onsies dress clothes 2 pairs of mittens (for preventing scratches) hats - one for warmth and one for shade snowsuit - do Not use when your baby is in his/her car seat 6-10 pairs of socks (more is great because they are so little that they get lost or "eaten" by the washing machine) accessories - such as shoes, hair decor, jewelry mild laundry detergent Bathing and Grooming - When my first baby was born, we had very little in the way of baby supplies - and nothing for bathing. Do you know what we discovered? We didn't literally need much. He got perfectly clean when I bathed him in the bathroom sink and washed his hair with the kitchen sink hose.

So why did I consist of most of the following items in this newborn baby checklist? Convenience. There is a Lot to be said for convenience when you have a newborn baby in the house!
baby tub or baby bathing sponge 4 baby washcloths 2 hooded towels baby lotion baby brush infant nail clippers baby shampoo/body wash bath thermometer Nursery Items - A beautifully decked-out nursery is a fun way to prepare for your new baby. Giving the baby's room personality and then putting away the items he/she will be using makes it start feeling like he will literally be arriving soon! Consider:
dresser baby size hangers rocking chair cd player with soothing cds night light nursery decor - wall hangings, window coverings, bed skirt Diapering - "Changing a diaper is a lot like getting a present from your grandmother - you're not sure what you've got but you're pretty sure you're not going to like it." (Foxworthy) No baby checklist would be complete without "covering" this.
wet wipes - either market or home-made changing table with a water-proof pad 3 washable changing pad covers hand sanitizer diaper rash remedy wipe warmer diaper disposal or diaper pail with liners basket or diaper possessor for retention diapers orderly If using disposable diapers: 10-12 disposable diapers per day Or If using cloth diapers: 24-36 cloth diapers 8-10 diaper covers inserts and liners diaper pins if the chosen system calls for them diaper sprayer Feeding - After you have decided either you will be breastfeeding or bottle feeding, you will want to reconsider which items you will need to help you in growing a healthy baby. Breastfeeding Needs: 3-5 nursing bras nursing pads - washable or disposable breast pump nipple cream breast milk storehouse containers breast feeing pillow nursing cover 10 burp rags Bottle Feeding Needs: bottles (Bpa free) - start with just a few until you know what your baby will prefer nipples (clear silicone) formula - don't stock up until you know it will "agree" with your baby 10 burp rags bottle brush bottle warmer drying rack sterilization bags Sleeping - Newborn babies spend about 18 out of every 24 hours sleeping. At least some of that time you will want to put him/her down to tend to your own needs. Your baby's safety during that time is paramount. Providing a safe, comfortable, familiar place to sleep will help your baby organize good sleeping habits which will in turn facilitate Your sleep. You will need:
sleeping place - crib with mattress, movable crib, bassinet, Moses basket, or co-sleeper 2 mattress pads 3 fitted sheets 6-8 receiving blankets baby monitor a small fan for air circulation and white noise Traveling - either it is over town or over the country - you will want to show off your baby (or at least re-stock on diapers). Traveling with a newborn is more complex than grabbing your keys and walking out the door, but you will be prepared for any trip if you have:
car seat diaper bag replacement car seat cover stroller baby sling or carrier blankets of varying thicknesses car seat tour bag for air travel portable crib Health - No one likes to think about their baby becoming ill, but sooner or later it is bound to happen. Be prepared by having the following items on hand:
nasal aspirator/bulb syringe petroleum jelly digital thermometer rubbing alcohol & q-tips (for umbilical cord care) infant acetaminophen - use with newborns only under advisement of your pediatrician saline nasal spray a great pediatrician Don't forget to add your baby to your condition guarnatee policy! Safety - Your newborn won't be movable for a few months, but you will want to have safety items in place well before that occurs.
safety gates corner/edge bumpers safety locks outlet covers Development and Entertainment - Most of your newborn baby's early development will come from the cuddling, singing, talking, and interaction provided by the ones who love him/her the most. A few items that will stimulate and entertain him/her while you are busy will be useful to you both.
baby movable or a plastic mirror for the crib a few toys of differing textures baby swing and/or baby bouncer baby book for recording all of the milestones A common "rookie mom" mistake is caring for her baby to the exclusion of caring for herself. Don't forget to make "mommy care" a priority, too. Add your popular bubble bath to your newborn baby checklist - and then use it!

Care of Wild Baby Mice

Love Baby Love Sleep

If for some speculate wild baby mice have been placed in your care, I have included a few tips on caring and feeding to help you give them a opening at life. Please be aware that even in the wild, mice have a 50% opening of surviving beyond 5 months of age, given a general upbringing. The mice that do make it can live up to around 5 years if healthy. A pair will have a great opening of survival than a lone mouse.

As soon as you have your baby mice, it is leading to keep them safe and warm. You can use a small pet carrier, large plastic tub or any other suitable box in which you can put them. Layer the lowest with a towel and place the mice on top. Then, use an additional one soft material to lightly cover the mice like fleece. Place the box in a warm place, ensuring that it isn't hot; otherwise the mice will come to be dehydrated. A heater on the lowest setting may be all that is needed. Test the towel the mice are laying on so that it feels cosy and warm to your hand.

If the baby mice are less than 14 days old they will need dropper fed with a milk substitute until they are weaned. They ordinarily open their eyes when they are just about weaned and able to eat by themselves. You will need to feed them every 2 hours so be prepared to get up while the night. Set your alarm. When I was finding after wild mice, I was getting up every 2 hours to check them. I have since read that while the night mother mouse would be away finding for food and may only return to the nest once to feed her babies. Use common sense, if you can conduct a few night feeds, all the best for the babies opening of survival, especially in the early days.

Kitten milk is ready to buy at pet shops. I used raw coconut blended up and strained. It should be 1 cup coconut to about 2 and ½ cups water. You could also use soaked almonds to make an almond milk using the same ratios. Make sure the nuts are natural and plain. Once you've made up the milk, store in a sterilised glass jar and keep in the fridge until required. When you go to feed the mice, take a quarter a cup of the milk and warm it up by pouring it in a small jug and standing in hot water. Use a dropper or baby syringe (you can get these at the chemist) to feed 1 or 2 drops of the milk at a time into the baby mouse mouth. When the mice are unmistakably young, they might not open their mouth. Be rigorous not to get the milk up their noses, they will splutter/cough if you do. It can be perilous for their health if you do. The way I fed the mice was to put a facecloth down on a table and to put one mouse at a time onto it. Then you can moderately hold the baby's head whilst you administer the milk with the dropper. You'll get the hang of it with a bit of practise. The baby might not seem to be taking much milk, don't worry. Very young babies may only need to get a drop or 2 on their mouth/tongues until they can take more. The main purpose here is to keep them hydrated with a dinky drop at a time every integrate of hours.

Once the baby is fed, you need to stimulate a bowel movement. To do this, put some warm water in a small bowl and dip a cotton bud into it. Then, put the cotton bud between the baby's back legs and moderately turn the bud around. You should see a dinky brown staining, that is their poo. Dip the other end of the bud into the water and moderately stroke the baby's body, this emulates the mother licking them. After all that, tuck baby up in it's soft bedding and place in a warm spot. This is the basic habit that needs to be repeated every integrate of hours while the day and at least 2-3 times while the night, especially around 1am and 5am.

As you can see, it's quite a commitment, finding after baby wild mice. But, there is also a great recompense in the caring of them and the bonding you will feel as a carer.

When the babies start to open their eyes or at least take a peak, they may be taking a lot more milk and starting to walk around a little. This is when you need to be extra careful; one fall is adequate to be fatal. You can make a dinky safe roaming area in the lowest part of a pet cage or shoebox/basin. Line it with newspaper and leaves to simulate a natural environment. The youngsters will enjoy stretching their legs and taking their first steps. This is important, as it will build up their muscles and strength.

Once the babies start to bite your fingers quite firmly when you feed them, they may be ready for a dinky solid food. They will also be starting to open their eyes (12-14 days old) Start very moderately with this. Try some baby fruit puree to start or natural rice pudding. The food should not be chilled. Let them lick it off your finger. Avoid putting the purees onto a dish for the mice to feed from, as they might get messy and end up with matted fur, which needs to be avoided. Some other foods to graduate to are porridge, banana, tomato, dried oat flakes, strawberry. Just go real easy with the food and keep it simple and unmistakably digested to start with. Congratulations! You've unmistakably made it to the weaning stage, which is quite something with wild baby mice.

Continue to contribute a safe space for the mice to sleep and once weaned, they will be able to come out at night to feed. Give them a dinky dish near their bed so they can feed while the night. At least you can get some sleep now! Continue to offer the milk while the day and contribute some water for them. Usually, wild mice will still have some mothers milk up to about 4 weeks of age.

Now you have to determine either to keep them or publish into the wild. I don't know how many mice have been successfully hand-reared and released into the wild. I would think it unlikely that they can survive. However, you've done your bit and if they seem strong and healthy and quite active, it might be possible to publish them. Or, you can keep them as pets.

Finally, if you did your best and the mice died, don't feel bad. Survival chances in the best of conditions i.e. With their natural mother are still low. Just enjoy the sense you've had with them and the opening to get a glimpse into their dinky lives. They are dinky bundles of love and it is splendid to have at least given them some love when otherwise they might have perished.

Parenting Children: The Do's and Don'ts of Getting Your 3-5 Year Old to Sleep

Love Baby Love Sleep

Are you struggling with a toddler or preschooler who refuses to go to sleep?

Getting children to go to sleep is one of the most talked about issues that concern parents, second only to getting your child to behave. There have been parents in near hysterics, trying to deal with a child who throws huge tantrums when asked to go to sleep.

There are some things you can do to help your 3-5 year old go to sleep without too much trouble:

1. Do stick to a schedule.

It's tempting during summer break to ease up on bedtime routines and allow your child to go to sleep late. If done occasionally it doesn't gift a problem. However consistently allowing your child to dodge regular bedtimes creates confusion.

Persistent children will challenge bedtime, since it's their nature to push the envelope. Other children may feel insecure when routines aren't followed, and react with disruptive and unruly behavior.

If you resolve to allow your children to stay up late occasionally, agenda it first. You can resolve to let your kids go to sleep late once a week, and select a definite day.

2. Do supervene a consistent bedtime routine.

This is an positive one, and many parents feel that they've got this base covered. The key to this, however, is giving over the responsibility of carrying out the bedtime habit to your child.

Even if your child is as young as three years old, they're capable of following a chart with pictures, putting a fastener on a photo when the activity is completed.

The magic of this lies in the fact that many children view bedtime as something imposed from the outside, causing them to rebel naturally because "Mommy told me to." Putting your child in payment as much as possible reduces this natural resistance.

3. Don't use incentives or prizes for going to sleep longer than 30 days.

Incentives and rewards are a great way of providing the extra push a child needs in order to exertion a difficult task. The best way to use incentives is in helping your child to stick to a habit.

Since acquiring a habit takes about 30 days, this is the maximum whole of time you should use prizes or incentives for a single behavior.

4. Do allow your child a crutch, if they need it.

As long as the crutch isn't damaging to your child's health, go ahead and let your child sleep with all 25 cars in his car collection. It won't hurt him, and if he manages to go to sleep despite the space limitations, why not?

Most children discard such unusual sleeping arrangements when they get old sufficient to be embarrassed about it (usually by the age of 9 or so).

5. Think using natural sleep aids or remedies.

There are numerous safe natural alternatives that will help your child resolve down. Passiflora, for example, is safe for small children. It can be made into a soothing tea, and can help calm an overtired toddler or a too-full-of-energy preschooler. Lavender in a pillowcase has also been shown to promote sleep.

note: This is not medical advice, nor should it be taken as such. Use tasteless sense, and ask your physician before you give whatever to your child.

6. Don't forget to try and make up for lost sleep yourself.

Living with a child who refuses to go to sleep can influence your work, health, and your marriage. While you may not be able to make up all of the sleep time you've lost, do try and "power nap" for 15 minutes or so sometime during the day.

Sleep Routines - How to Adjust Your 1 Year Olds Sleep habit From 2 Sleeps to 1 and Stay Sane!

Love Baby Love Sleep

This is a honestly coarse ask and it is always a great idea to know what to anticipate and how you are going to handle these transitions. I understand that while we know our children may need two sleeps a day (at around 6 to 12 months of age), they take up much of the day and can make appointments, activities and the school run for older children quite tricky. It is sensible however to remember that while two sleeps may be sometimes inconvenient, your baby will make you pay if they are overtired or miss out on the sleep they need. That is why I love car capsules (for flexible transfers between the car and other locations for newborns) and encourage background noise on at home during sleeps, to enable your child to sleep straight through noise outside the home.

So, how do we know when our 12 month old babies are ready to go from 2 sleeps to 1?

*Baby will start to refuse one or both day sleeps but not cope all day until the night sleep.

*or sacrifice both sleeps to around 30-45 minutes.

Once you can see this happening for about a week and you are convinced they are ready for 1 sleep, try the following:

*Decide on a sleep time and lock it in place. I propose 12 md. Remember you need to keep the sleep in the middle of the day so the baby can cope before and after the sleep until bedtime at around 7-7.30pm.

*Once you decree to convert to 1 sleep, it is foremost to keep one sleep and not swap between 1 sleep sometimes and 2 sleeps at other times. Your baby's body clock needs time to adjust and needs consistency for this to happen.

*Even though you may have been convinced that your baby was ready for 1 sleep, they will whinge in the morning at around 9-10am when they used to have a morning sleep and appear tired. I call this a 'hump' that you need to distract your baby straight through (outside is best for fresh air) until they get their second wind and can stay up until 12 md.

*Your baby may whinge at 'hump' time for a few weeks to a few months until their body clock adjusts to the 1 sleep. Remember that if you allow 2 sleeps to creep in sometimes you will delay the baby coping with the morning and not whinging.

*Baby will probably have lunch at 11.30am.

*Avoid 'power naps' of a minimum of 10 minutes sleep when travelling in the car or the stroller if at all possible in the mornings. A power nap will forestall your baby sleeping at lunchtime and originate a monster to deal with until bedtime.

Tip: Remember that your baby needs to earn their sleep with bodily activity, No Tv in the morning and great healthy family meals. Your baby should be so tired that they are begging you to go to sleep! If not, they haven't earned their sleep and have spent too much time sitting in something (a stroller, play pen, swing, shopping trolley, walker).
