Tips to Help Your Baby Fall Asleep

Having a baby is one of the greatest joys in life. It also can be the most exhausting time in your life. Though many people brag about their babies who sleep through the night when they are just a few weeks old, they are not the norm. More babies struggle to sleep for weeks, months, and even years.

Because of this, many moms and dads struggle to get through their days due to being sleep-deprived. Some of them can barely function, as they wait for the morning that their baby slept through the night!

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. Here are some ways to help your baby fall asleep.

It really does help when your baby knows when he or she is expected to sleep. Babies with more consistent nap times also tend to sleep better at night. Their bodies will learn to know when it is time to relax and go to sleep.

Many babies, as they get older, are too excited to be up and playing that they don’t eat as much as they should. To make up for this, they end up getting up every few hours throughout the night.

Instead, make sure that your baby eats every few hours all day long! Even if he or she fights it, you need to make sure that your baby is getting enough to eat throughout the day. You may need to go into another room to do so, but it will be worth it when your baby is full enough to sleep through the night.

This will ensure that your baby has a full belly before bedtime. You want to make sure that he or she is full, but not overly full. The simple truth is that babies with full bellies are more likely to sleep longer at night. A little extra food may just get you an extra hour of sleep at night — which is worth it!
