Solve your baby sleep problem!

Are you having baby sleep problem? Are you a new parent suffering from sleepness nights? Many of the causes of baby sleep problems are very simple to resolve, once you know what the cause of your baby sleep problem is, then you can come up with a solution that will solve your baby's sleep problem.

Baby sleep problem 1 - Is your baby teething? 

Teething can be the cause of many baby sleep problems and can begin as early as 3 months of age and continue off and on all the way through to the age of 2. Teething pain can be uncomfortable for a baby and unfortunately your baby cannot communicate to you the cause of this pain. Look out for the signs of teething, such as red checks, dribbling etc. There are products available that can sooth the pain of teething, but make sure you check with your pediatrician before using any of these over the counter medications.

Baby sleep problem 2 - No bedtime routine! 

Did you know that babies need to be trained to sleep through the night.

It is important that you provide a consistent bedtime routine for your baby, which consists of all of the things that you do to help them get ready for bed. If you set up baby sleep patterns your baby will soon learn that at the end of the routine it is time to sleep. Some of theses rituals might include a bath, taking a last feed, a quiet playtime,reading a book, changing their diaper. This should also include developing good sleep associations, these are the things that your child associates with falling asleep. Falling asleep while nursing or drinking a bottle, sucking on a pacifier or being rocked are not good ideas, since if your child wakes in the night, they will need those same conditions to go back to sleep, such as a favourite toy or blanket.

Do things to help your child learn the schedule and after a while your baby will know it's bedtime.

Shh.... sleeping baby - no more baby sleep problem!

Baby sleep problem 3 - A dirty diaper! 

A wet or dirty diaper is not a comfortable feeling for your baby, but this is one of the easiest problems to solve. Check and/or change your child's diaper before putting them down to sleep.
