AMAZING BABY SLEEP SECRETS by Emmanuel Okello (book club recommendations TXT) 📕

behaviour. Once this happens, you would surely need to find
new methods of dealing with them. One of which is how to make a baby
go to sleep.
Change The Method
When we talk about changing the method, we do not refer to changing it
entirely, but rather making some modifications that would aid in putting
the child to sleep. To start off, we have to change the habit of putting the
baby to sleep.
If they are 3 months old and you have been treating them according to
the schedule, you should see that they put themselves to sleep. If this is
not happening, then you have not executed the routine correctly.
Read our previous articles to get to know how to set the routine and how
to make the sleep routine for your child. But for now, let us focus on how
to make a baby go to sleep.
What you need to do is lookout for the signs of sleepiness that they
show. These would be yawning, rubbing their eyes, etc.
When you see this, put them into the crib/basket and play a soft tune.
You can pat their belly or stomach gently if you want. But otherwise, you
should not do anything else and let the baby put themselves to sleep.
Cuddle With Them
Instead of lifting them up and carrying them around, you should cuddle
with them. This would release beneficial hormones such as dopamine
which would reduce the stress level (if there is any) and make the baby
relaxed and calm.
Talk To Them
Research has proven that talking gently with the babies has a very
positive effect on their brains. They not only tend to be obedient but also
more cooperative and happy.
Saying phrases to them such as "Baby! It's time to wake up" and then
waking them up in a shower of gentle and light kisses is one of the best
ways to deal with the babies.
Hold Your Horses
As always, patience is a virtue in this scenario as well. You do not have
to rush to put them to sleep or get frustrated if they are unable to do so
by themselves. Allow them some time as you did before and they will
surely adapt to this new method as well.
If you remain calm, give the baby some space, and follow the steps
mentioned above, the process of how to make a baby go to sleep would
be much easier. Not just easier but it would also be much quicker than
you expect. Baby Sleep - Things To Avoid

 In search of finding the best answer about how to make my baby
sleep, parents commonly make some mistakes. All they want to give
their baby the best sleeping treatment but remember the obsession
can go wrong in many ways.
Therefore, here are a few things that parents need to avoid when they
are trying to make their baby sleep well.
Following a same pattern
Using the same pattern to make your baby sleep is another thing to
avoid. You can be worried if you do not know how I can make my
baby sleep. However, it is not a difficult thing at all.
In case you were able to make your baby sleep once using a pattern,
then it is not confirmed that you will be able to do so all the time.
Babies require variations, their moods requirements and behaviour
changes rapidly. So, you may feel frustrated in case you will not be
able to succeed the same way.
Too much fancy things
Whenever you look around for the tips on how I can make my baby
sleep, you will get a number of fancy tips and tricks. It is like using a
lullaby, decorating a room, using different lights, bed size, bed covers,
pillows and what not.
All these fancy and materialistic things can help you to some extent
but these are not a complete solution. You can overburden yourself in
preparing the best sleeping environment for the baby.
It will help you for a little time, not forever. You need to avoid the
over-stuffing of the fancy things and tips. In fact, be real and original in
creating ways for your baby to sleep well and quickly.
Playing with cognition
Commonly the tricks and tips parents use to make the baby sleep are
relevant to the baby's cognition. We want to develop a consciousness
among the kids about the time to sleep.
Every parent wants their baby to sleep as soon as they tuck him or
her in the bed. It is not appropriate at all.
You should train your baby to sleep on time and wake up accordingly
but you need to make the baby understand and provide a reason for
that. Just developing a conscience is not enough; you need to create
the need for sleep in the baby as well.
Not focusing the real problem
Many people ask the question, how can I make my baby sleep.
However, most of them ignore the real problem with baby sleep. It is
not necessary that all the habits and environment is playing its part
with poor sleep.
Sometimes the problems are a little different and complicated as well.
In this manner, it is necessary to find out the real problem.
Only the investigation and consultation with experts can help you to
get the appropriate solution. Just trying out different tips and tricks will
not help you but could have worse outcomes.

forget; you have your family and friends nearby. And if you can't reach
out to them, you can always reach out for helplines and baby
counselling available nearby you. You can always ask how to get a

resembling it, this more often than not calms the baby down.
Hopefully, this article helped you find out the solution for how to get a
crying baby to sleep. Just be patient, and you got this.

How To Make Baby Sleep In Crib

 Now that your child has grown up a bit and is ready to be shifted to the crib,
you would need to have some information on how to make the baby sleep in
the crib. Several factors need to be accounted for if you are to ensure your
child's undisturbed sleep.
These factors are mainly small changes that you can make to ensure that your
child gets a good night's sleep without any disturbances.
Dress Them Appropriately
The first thing you need to check on the list is that your child should wear
clothes that comfort him while sleeping. A sleeper or pyjamas and a loose
shirt would be great.
Temperature
Another factor to ponder upon is that you need to keep the temperature
moderate. If the temperature goes too low, your child won't be able to sleep as
they would feel cold.
If it rises too high, the kid would sweat and be uneasy and would not be able
to sleep properly. Hence it is vital to maintain a moderate temperature for your
little one.
Feed Them well
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the children, to sleep with a hungry
stomach. A person can't just stick to the thought of sleeping if they have not
eaten a sufficient meal lately.
Due to this reason, you should ensure that the mother has fed the child; or
the father if the child has started to take semi-solids or dairy milk. Once the
baby's stomach is full, he is more likely to get cosy and sleepy.
Set A Routine
If you want your child to sleep at a particular time and wake up at a specific
time as well, you
