Getting Your Newborn to Sleep

Author: KatiesWorld, 12 31st, 2008

Babies are notoriously fussy, and it can often be a challenge to get them to sleep for a nap or during the nighttime hours.  To help your baby to get to sleep faster and also sleep for longer periods of time, there are a number of practices that you can institute.  For example, babies are naturally attracted to their mother’s voice and warmth, and will be calmed by their mere presence.  You might also consider a wood rocker baby cradle; the soothing motion will help calm fussy babies, and ensure that they fall asleep in their cradle instead of in your arms; waking them up after they fall asleep is the worst!  You can also provide your baby a glass of warm milk which will help them to rest peacefully.

Whatever you do be sure to talk to your baby while you’re doing it, your voice will relieve them and ensure that they get to sleep faster.
