Helping Baby Sleep Through The Night

Writen by Greg Edwards

Do you want your baby to sleep through the night? Are you tired of getting up several times during the nigh to coax your baby to sleep through the night? By teaching the babies to fall asleep on their own, without inducing to breast-feeding, pacifier, or bottle to suck and without rocking, cuddling or patting you can put the baby sleep through the night.

To make the baby sleep through the night, establish a routine for the bedtime and stick on to it without fail. A bath prior to the bedtime, a nursing session or bottle feed, story session with reading or telling sensible and suitable stories and a personalized "good night" to the baby and the pets if the baby is old enough to recognize such gestures will enable the baby to sleep through night without getting up in the middle of the night. Make sure that your method is soothing, consistent and not stimulating.

Include a "Cuddly" in the routine of making the baby sleep through the night. Try to make the baby develop such an attachment to a blanket or a stuffed animal.

When the baby is sleepy but still remaining awake is the correct time to put it in the crib. How to go to sleep is an important lesson to be learnt by the baby. Too much dependence on petting, nursing, singing, will make the baby expect the same thing again once the sleep is disturbed during the night. Hence, avoid the baby from expecting these routine.

Some experts advice the parent to remain in the room when the baby awakes during the night and without lifting the baby from the crib, make soothing gesture to make the baby return back to sleep. A different opinion is also prevailing which suggests to get away from the room but make frequent visits to the baby's bedroom till such time the baby is assured of not being deserted. Select whichever method works for you to put the baby to sleep through night.

When the baby gets up in the sleep during the night, do not pick the baby. If necessary, make a quick diaper change, settle the baby back, and get away from the room.

If these methods are tried, the baby's sleep pattern sets in and the baby will learn to settle into an undisturbed sleep.
