Discover How You Can Put Baby To Sleep Easily!
What are the things that put baby to sleep easily?
A sense of contentment
Irritations will only keep the mind disturbed and, trust me, an uncomfortable sleep is stressful and would not be an optimum rest anyway.
Ensure that the diapers are dry, so the baby will feel happy and contented, and that will be a good starting point to keep them calm and peaceful to get into the right mood to sleep.
A full tummy also helps, but not too full that the baby will easily wakes up in the middle of the night.
A sense of association
Babies thrive on routines. Having some toys associated with pre-sleeping activities will get the baby into the right mindset and a familiar pattern each night.
Wearing the right attire that tells the baby that it is not playing time will also subconsciously affect the psychology of the baby.
A sense of peace
A little background or white noise or soothing melody will definitely lull the mind. It does not have to be music. Have you noticed how we feel more relaxed and sleepy when it rains outside?
Other than sound, some little rocking motion will also help. Just like when we are on a boat and there is a sense of peace associated with it that recalls paradise.
A sense of comfort
The temperature should be just right for them not to wake up sweating, or shaking in cold.
The light should also be optimum, with just enough hints for them to recoqnize the familiar thing which will only calm them down.
And that leads me to my last tips.
A sense of familiarity
Ensure that when the babies wake up in the middle of the night (trust me, they will!), they do in a familiar place. That means, they should wake up where they fall asleep.
Other than a familiar place, a familiar face nearby will also help the baby to calm down and fall back to sleep easily.
A more holistic approach
Sleeping at night is not just about the night time affair.
Other than focusing on the night time sleep, perhaps it also helps that the daytime naps are limited to just less than enough to keep the baby awake for another half a day.
Also, a perfect night time routine can be ruined if during the day the baby gets too excited, as it might easily trigger much adrenaline rush.
Let's practice what we have learnt. Have a good rest!
