After my nightly feed,
Sleeping is what I need,
I’ll have some telly viewing,
My stresses slowly undoing,
Then when I’m calmed right down,
Over to bed, I rest my crown. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160397 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 06:18:57 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160397 When help is offered take it, make sure kids have a bedtime rountine so in bed by a certain time, go to bed as soon as the kids are asleep.

No caffine at least a few hours before bed. ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160382 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 04:28:25 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160382 I get more sleep by getting to bed early, feeding my baby in bed lying down and napping when I need it when the toddler naps! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160373 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 13:04:34 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160373 I ensure that bub has good quality nappies at night in the vague hope this will help him (and me) sleep all night long! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160372 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 12:20:45 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160372 Go to bed early ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160360 Sun, 10 Jan 2016 01:53:21 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160360 I accept any help that others may offer and if no one offers I ask for my husband to help ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160358 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 22:44:24 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160358 A clean comfy bed with no-one else in it where I can stretch out and it’s not squeezy! ]]> http://allmumsaid.com.au/swaddle-up-and-sleep-like-a-baby/#comment-160355 Sat, 09 Jan 2016 07:52:11 +0000 http://allmumsaid.com.au/?p=8702#comment-160355 I am a police officer….I work hours that can play havoc with my health and body clock….my unwind is a good cup of hot chocolate….I sleep like a tot after that ]]>
