Help! My Baby Won't Sleep At Night! Things To Help Your Baby Sleep At Night.
Are you reading this lens in the early hours of the morning after being woken up by baby again? I sympathise with you. I have been there and done that and got the T shirt as they say.
I wanted to help my fellow sleep-deprived parents out there in cyberspace, and share my experiences and research. I found a method that works with my son, but not every method will suit everyone. So I hope you find a solution for your sleepless nights in one of my lenses!
Happy reading!

Sleep Routines For Babies, Start Early For The Best Effect
When you bring your new baby home from hospital, you probably will have the urge to keep him close to you at all times, especially when you go to sleep at night. Some new mothers cannot stand the though of leaving their baby alone in another room away from them, so it makes sense to have a crib or cradle in your bedroom in the beginning, since it will minimize the distance you have to walk to do the nighttime feedings.While the above routine may seem the logical system to follow, try not to put off introducing baby to it's nursery or bedroom for too long. Once a baby has become familiar to its surroundings, and it's normal day to day routine, it can then become a problem to start leaving him in a new and unfamiliar place. His nursery may be quite, warm and cozy, but if he is used to being with you in a light and busy room, the sudden change may prove unsettling, and as a result your baby will cry more often for your attention.

Help Baby Sleep At Night
If you find your baby cannot get to sleep in his nursery, you can put him in his crib in the nursery and try sitting near the crib for a few nights until he falls asleep. Then gradually move the chair further away from the crib towards the door for another week or so. Finally, position the chair next to the door, so the baby gets used to falling asleep without being right next to you. Your presence in the room will be enough to reassure him.Introducing this sort of sleep routine for your baby will take time, but stick with it and eventually, you'll get your baby to the point where he can fall asleep in his own room. Start to establish a nighttime sleep routine for your baby early, so your baby knows what to expect. A nice, warm bath with gentle lavender oil, followed by changing into a soft clean sleep suit is a good start. Introduce a bedtime story early. Even a very young baby can be read to at bedtime. You can also sing to him, or just talk to him. I used to make out my shopping list while getting my son to sleep, reading out the items to buy, and the ingredients I needed to make dinner the next day. The sound of your voice is what matters so he feels safe and secure enough to fall asleep. By starting these simple routines early, hopefully you'll avoid trouble later on trying to move the baby into his nursery and getting him to sleep at a normal time.

- Every baby is different, you just have to see what works for your little one. We found a sleep device that really helped us. ʺSleepy Beeʺ (sleepybees.com) We would turn it on like 10 mins before wanting to get her to fall asleep and she would related the sound to sleep. It's kinda like sleep training. Or the Pavlov's Dog theory. haha! ...not to relate our baby to a dog, but you get the point. :)
