Hey, have u tried it yet or not?
Why not? What are you thinking about ?or are u waiting for the right time when ur baby wud grow up ? (if your baby is 4 months,u can follow a simple ritual)
or you just think it won't work on your baby.
or you followed a routine for few days ,but ur lo didn't sleep after that ,so you gave up?
Don't give up so early,when i started a bed time routine, my baby was in habit of waking every half an hour for breastfeeding, made me sleep deprived for a year.I didn't try any routine for so long, just I wasn't interested in or didn't felt it cud be helpful for my baby.
When I gave it a try ,in the beginning it even didn't work at all, infact not for a month or so,worked someday or somedays futile,but still I kept on trying.
Today my baby (ok toddler) is 17months and she sleeps uninterrupted for 6 to 7 hrs and 10 to 11 hrs on a whole night. She wakes us only once or twice during her entire sleep. But still sleeps for six hrs straight.
Now, when my alarm buzz in the morning I don't hit the snooze button any more ,I want to come out of my bed to see the rising sun,to start my day a fresh.One and only reason is that I have already slept enough at least six hrs, can u believe it? uninterrupted six hrs sleep is a blessing for any parent .I know its not a big thing but for me it is......its an achievement as a parent ,its a milestone in my parenting that I passed so swifty.
when I hear or read other parents complaining that their two or three year old not sleeping,i felt like I am relieved from that tension every night.
Finally I can say without any doubt that a bedtime ritual works.
You could get ur sleep back if u just believe in training ur baby to sleep on its own.
I know some moms wud be raising their eyebrows on using the world sleep training ur baby for your convenience.
but I am not talking about any complicated mechanical way of sleep training or any sleep capsule .........
not that I am saying that you should expect your below six months baby to sleep uninterrupted for very long but sleeping for 3 or 4 hrs is not an issue.
I just mean follow a simple cosy,cuddly,tender bedtime ritual for ur baby that he wud definitely love to be followed everyday.
In the beginning my bed time ritual included a lot of things...going to bedroom early,playing a bit, massaging baby,change of clothes,reading story book ,rocking cuddling with toys and singing lullabies,patting......
But now no more,even I didn't bring her to bed early now.only when I am finished with my dinner and watching my favourite TV serials.
Her bedtime ritual is so much memorized my baby that I don't have to remember anything ,infact she is the one who brings her book and pillow to me,place herself near to me so that I can massage her or sing to her and that's it.
She goes to sleep on her own.coz she know that she has to sleep on her own not by rocking,not by breastfeeding....just by lying on bed or cuddling to her teddy..................
or just by snuggling under my blanket with her head in my pillow.and looking into my eyes, before drifting off to her sleep.
sweet dreams.

Hey Preity, no posts since long :(
ReplyDeleteHard to Believe: This Keeps Your Baby Awake At Night
ReplyDeleteDear Sleepless Mother,
It “waits” for you to put your baby to sleep
And is “ jumping of joy” when you start rocking or swinging your little one
Because it knows the next thing you do opesn the gates…...and invites midnight wakefulness into your baby’s sensitive brain and body
I’m talking about this simple habit
Could one simple habit increase the risk of your baby waking up in the middle of the night......by 87%? “It’s like setting a midnight fire alarm in his brain”, one study revealed
The worst part is that you keep doing it ……it’s part of your routine……and yet it’s wrecking your little one’s sleep
So what is this disruptive habit? And what can you do to fix it?
