Here are some tips on how to get your baby on a sleep schedule:
1. Observe and Learn Your Baby’s Sleep Cues
Babies have unique ways of communicating their needs to their parents. As infants cannot talk or express themselves through words, it is important that parents observe and learn their baby’s behavior when they are sleepy.
Some common cues include rubbing their eyes, yawning excessively, fussiness, and becoming quieter than usual. Once you learn these cues, you can create an effective sleep routine by putting them down for naps or bedtime before they become overtired.
2. Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine
Creating a bedtime routine is essential in establishing good sleeping habits for babies. A bedtime routine could include activities such as giving them a bath, reading them stories or singing lullabies in the same order every night.
This consistency helps create an association between the routine activities and bedtime itself; this makes it easier for babies to understand when it is time for bed.
3. Create an Ideal Sleep Environment
An ideal sleep environment can play an important role in promoting restful nights for your baby. A dark room with cool temperatures can help promote better sleeping habits.
Ensure that the room is quiet so as not to startle or wake up your baby from sudden noises around them. You could also introduce white noise machines or soft music that can help soothe them into restful slumber further.
4. Set Realistic Expectations
As much as we would like our babies to sleep for longer durations, it is essential to understand that every baby has different biological needs.
Setting realistic expectations on the amount of sleep your baby can get in a day could save you from frustration and anxiety. As babies grow, their sleeping patterns also change; hence, what worked for them earlier might not help as much later on.
In conclusion, establishing a healthy sleep routine can be an arduous task; however, with patience and consistency, it is achievable. Observe and learn your baby’s cues to establish an appropriate sleep schedule. Create an ideal sleep environment while setting realistic expectations to enjoy more restful nights with your little one.

Description : “TRACY HOGG HAS GIVEN PARENTS A GREAT GIFT–the ability to develop early insight into their child’s temperament.” –Los Angeles Family When Tracy Hogg’s Secrets of the Baby Whisperer was first published, it soared onto bestseller lists across the country. Parents everywhere became “whisperers” to their newborns, amazed that they could actually communicate with their baby within weeks of their child’s birth. Tracy gave parents what for some amounted to a miracle: the ability to understand their baby’s every coo and cry so that they could tell immediately if the baby was hungry, tired, in real distress, or just in need of a little TLC. Tracy also dispelled the insidious myth that parents must go sleepless for the first year of a baby’s life–because a happy baby sleeps through the night. Now you too can benefit from Tracy’s more than twenty years’ experience. In this groundbreaking book, she shares simple, accessible programs in which you will learn: • E.A.S.Y.–how to get baby to eat, play, and sleep on a schedule that will make every member of the household’s life easier and happier. • S.L.O.W.–how to interpret what your baby is trying to tell you (so you don’t try to feed him when he really wants a nap). • How to identify which type of baby yours is–Angel, Textbook, Touchy, Spirited, or Grumpy–and then learn the best way to interact with that type. • Tracy’s Three Day Magic–how to change any and all bad habits (yours and the baby’s) in just three days. At the heart of Tracy’s simple but profound message: treat the baby as you would like to be treated yourself. Reassuring, down-to-earth, and often flying in the face of conventional wisdom, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer promises parents not only a healthier, happier baby but a more relaxed and happy household as well....

My sleep deprivation was affecting every aspect of my life. I read several books on sleep training, as well as blogs and websites. I was at my wits end. After following the program for two weeks, my child was consistently sleeping 11-12 hours a night and was on a consistent schedule during the day! This program has literally given me my life back." - McKel Neilsen "Two months ago I was at the end of my sleep rope with our 6-month-old, boy/girl twins. Exhausted doesn't begin to explain it, I felt desperate. After using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method we feel like we have our lives back. The babies are happy and well rested, and so are we! We have our evenings back to cook dinner, spend time with our 4-year-old daughter, hang out together, and actually do things we enjoy. The process took commitment but has been absolutely worth every bit of it." - Beth Oller, MD "Using the Baby Sleep Trainer Method, my daughter quickly went to a routine nap schedule during the day and sleeping through the night from 6:30pm to 6:30am! Also, rather than the exhausting and often unsuccessful rocking or soothing or feeding to sleep, we were able to put her down awake in her crib and she would fall asleep on her own in just a few minutes. It was just incredible." - Online Review...
