Help Your Baby Sleep
Every mom or dad knows how it’s difficult to cope with a
baby who doesn’t want to sleep. Your baby needs naps and you as a parent need
them too. You can do some chores while your little one is sleeping or you can
just relax and do something you like. Even though you can’t force your baby to
sleep if he/she doesn’t want to, there are a few things that you may want to
try when your baby won’t sleep.
1. Rocking
One of the best ways to help your baby sleep is rocking.
Almost every nursery contains a rocker for this reason. For instance, I rocked
my daughter and I really loved each moment of it. I think it’s a great time of
bonding for both mom (or dad) and baby.
2. White noise
If your baby has trouble falling asleep, it can be a
difficult time for the whole family. It may sound strange, but white noise can
work wonders to calm your baby. It can help your little one be more ready for a
sleep. I recommend you to try sounds such as ocean waves, the wind rushing
through the trees or the soothing sound of rain. Soft music can also be calming
to your child.
3. Sleeping pattern
One of the reasons you baby has trouble sleeping is because
they don’t have a schedule. It’s very important to have your child on a
schedule and have a sleeping pattern. This way, your baby will sleep regularly
and it will make your day and night easier to plan.
4. Car rides
Most families who own cars and have babies, use this way to
help their babies fall asleep faster. Just put your baby in your car and drive
until your baby fall asleep. From personal experience I can say that it really
works. In fact, car rides are conducive to napping for most babies. Plus, it’s
a great time for you and your husband to enjoy a fun ride.
5. Swings
Swings can have a wonderful effect on your baby. They can
put them to sleep in no time. You can even let your little one nap in the
swing. The only thing is, when you transfer your baby to their crib, you may
interrupt their sleep.
6. Accept reality
Often babies don’t require the sleep parents think they
should. Plus, some babies aren’t good nappers, while others may need more
sleep. If you baby don’t want to nap or sleep, accept it. My daughter didn’t
require much sleep and she didn’t nap well from her birth. If your little one
doesn’t require much sleep, there’s nothing worry about. Just make sure you
consult your baby’s pediatrician first.
7. Pretend to asleep yourself
While it’s not very effective way to help your baby sleep,
if you don’t know what else you can do, this way is worth trying. When you’re
lying down with your little one, pretend to be asleep yourself and see if it
works. When your house is quiet and everyone is quiet, your baby may fall
asleep too.
