Well I would love someone to tell me how to ensure bub and I get a good nights sleep! After 3 kids I still haven’t figured it out and am sleep deprived for most of my life haha 🙂 But seriously one of the most important factors I think for a baby is to keep them at the right temperature when sleeping – if they are too hot or cold they wake up 🙂
I wash the sheets with a drop of lavender oil in the wash for a calming scent. The room is nice and warm with curtains for just the right ammount of darkness.
follow the same routine and when he is just falling asleep put him down in his swaddling.
This would give bub a sense of safety and comfort too. Its an ingenious idea, whoever created it . I hope it works. 🙂
A feed with mum for a full little tummy
Then bathtime with dad is always quite funny
Cuddles from both and a sweet kiss goodnight
Tucked in safe and secure we turn out the light
Our sweet little boy we wish you sweet dreams
This bedtime routine seems to work quite the treat
A warm bubble bath,
a massaging rub,
make them sleepy fast,
best sleep for you and bub!
A full tummy, then a nice warm bath, before hopping into bed ensures Rocka Bub sleeps soundly through the night
Following a bedtime routine (bath, feed, cuddle), putting them down when sleepy and keeping the room dark seemed to help my bubs sleep well!
Its all about routine
By following the Sids and Kids safe sleeping guidelines I can relax a little and sleep knowing I’ve done everything possible to keep my baby safe while sleeping
For myself I find essential oils indispensable. Place some drops on a tissue and breathe it in to soothe, aid in sleeping, relieve congestion and combat stale air.
For baby wrap a ticking clock in a small soft blanket and lay it near the baby so they can hear the muffled sound. They’ll fall asleep comforted by the simulated sound of a mother’s heartbeat. Alternatively take a break and ask Daddy to try his luck with getting baby to sleep. Recommend he read the sports page or sing all the choruses to “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” That should do it!
Some lavender oil in the bath helps calm and soothe helping sleep time a lot easier
All about routine here, dinner, bath, cuddles, bottle then bed 🙂
After a warm bath and good feeding, swaddle them up while making sure the surrounding is quiet and dark. It helps bub fall asleep and is also good for setting up bub’s sleeping routine.
Bath, feed, bed and make sure the temperature is cozy and the room is quiet, nice relaxing background music helps.
I TRY to ensure a good nights sleep for bub by following a routine, making sure bubs is going to be warm enough on those really cold nights and the most important thing is giving him his “blankie” to snuggle into.
A cuddle in our rocking chair,
Is what works for us best,
Singing a lullaby until sleepy,
Holding him close to my chest.
Putting on my onesie so I’m snug like a bear.
Does the trick for me, I sleep with no care.
My baby boy loves a cuddle while resting his head.
While I sing him ‘ Your song’ and then put him to bed.
Best nights sleep is when i have just washed all the bedding,nothing beats getting into fresh ,clean sheets.
Calming music, a bath with lavender oil and a nice cup of tea for mum and a booby feed for bubs 🙂
What a great idea for the baby. I love smart thinking like this.
A consistent bedtime routine and always make sure bub is not too hot or too cold!
For a few months I fell for the I’ll-tire-him-out-during-the-day-so-he’ll-be-exhausted-at-night theory. It doesn’t work. It just made him cranky all afternoon, during dinner, and made bed time more difficult. Routine seems to work best. A bath, PJs, a book and then sleep usually follows within 5 minutes.
I make sure she has a full tummy dressed in a secure onesie and give her plenty of kisses and read her stories
These would make a wonderful gift for the next grand-child!
I give her a gentle massage. Sure wish someone would give me one!
Baby massage followed by story time before bed in the evening. Our little one is only 4 weeks old but we believe you’re never too young to have a relaxing evening!
Ensuring baby is safe! Room at the right temperature, routine is key, we have found that our little girl sleeps much better if we follow a bed time routine.
I give bub lots of cuddles, and story before bed every night
I get a good night sleep know my baby is happy and has had a good day of fun and love with his older brother and by me doing the best I can do no matter what situation is put in front if us!
Always sing him a song that usually puts him to sleep.
A nice warm bath for us both,
Then to fill the tummy with a nice warm drink,
then to pop under the warm covers and then
a kiss to say goodnight.
A good bath just before bedtime always relaxed my child.
I tuck him in tight!
I try to minimise any unecessary stimuli before bedtime (eg. television, radio etc). Make sure bubs is well fed and burped, no draughts in room, nappy nice and dry, enough layers to keep bubs warm and tucked in nicely as per safe sleeping recommendations. Most importantly cuddles and kisses!
I ensure bub gets a good night sleep by making sure he feels safe and content, clean nappy, full belly and not too hot or too cold. If he sleeps well then I do too
I make sure bubs has a full tummy, clean nappy and I leave him once asleep, first turning on the sleep sound monitor so I have piece of mind and can actually get to sleep!
Ensure that I sleep when they sleep, its the only way, then Im not so tired
You have to have the same routine every night; you also have to set the room temperature right.
No caffeine after 2pm! Nudging Daddy to get up here and there works aswell 🙂
Make sure we are both well fed and warm!
I leave the passage light on with TV down low for baby’s comfort. Baby monitor turned on ensures me a sound sleep!
I am currently pregnant with our first! So I am eagerly reading all about how to get bubs to sleep. With my nephew all he needs is a bottle and someone to pat his back while he nods off. I would love the opportunity to try these sheets on our little one when they get here!!
tuck them in and a big kiss goodnight 😀 thats all we need.
With a cuddle and a bath,
Simple isn’t daft!
Works every time,
So our sleep is divine.
You’ve won!
Nothing beats some comfy sheets!!
for bub to be relaxed and mum to be relaxed that our dreams are shinning bright
A warm bath is a must,
Cuddles you can trust,
Oh and don’t forget a sprinkling of fairy dust!
I make sure he is in good quality clean bedding, with a full tummy and dry nappy and feeling contented
Always making sure the room is at correct temperature and bub is dressed appropriately.
I ensure baby is comfortably dressed following feeding, bathing and soothing with a gentle massage. I ensure that the bedding is fitted safely before I put our precious little angel into his “bed”, give him a quick cuddle and kiss goodnight, cover him up, ensuring that he cannot pull his sheet and blanket over his face. I am fortunate that he settles and goes to sleep quickly most nights Prior to bedtime I have to impose quiet time with his older sister or she excites him rather than letting him wind down quickly of his own accord.
a routine of having a meal followed by a play then warm bath with a gentle massage before a night drink then some lullabies and tucked in to bed 🙂
Nothing beats clean fresh new sheets, even for babies 🙂
To help bub get a good night sleep I do the things lots of people try, wrapping, relaxation massage before bed and sometimes white noise etc. Of course these things often don’t work when baby is little, so to guarantee my good night sleep, I express and hand night time duty to daddy. Instant success for me.
a good feed for mum and bub before bed – no one likes sleeping on an empty stomach
I make sure that two nights a week I go to bed at the same time as baby girl. It ensures I get a few extra hours and she is reassured that I am at arms reach as we drift off.
A soothing bath, a little lavender, then some bonding time when she feeds and then sleep and I usually sing a lullaby, luckily she isn’t judgmental about my bad singing and its what works for us.
Lots of cuddles and some hugs,
then some kisses and tucked in snug.
Swaddled up, nice and cosy.
Always makes our sleeptimes rosy!
Baby massage with coconut oil and Lavender good therapy Lavender not cheap bad for your skin Lavender and then my little one is off to sleep dreaming of the Moon!
There is no right or wrong, it just takes lots of time
Night time routine is the key
To ensure a good sleep for baby and me
Warm Bubble Bath and Wrapped up Tight
Ensures even a Newborn will Sleep Through the Night
Always that the bub isn’t too hot or cold. Otherwise they can’t sleep, and will keep you awake trying to put them to sleep.
routine with dinner, bath, teeth, books, cuddles/kisses lights out is a must and in bed everyday at same time even if you are out is a requirement in my house to keep this single mum sane enough to get through the next day and be her best all again,
To ensure a good night sleep for myself, after tea I would go for a nice walk, have a cup of warm milk with honey when I get home and just before bedtime have a nice warm shower or bath and by the time I reach my bed I’m gone.
Although some people frown upon it! I co-slept with all my children so we all got a good night’s rest! A tired, snappy Mummy is no good for anyone!
Bath, story time with her big sister and then a feed to sleep. It works all the time unless she is sick, then she needs lots of cuddles.
warm bath and massage then wrapped comfortably with cuddles before bed
Parents and in-laws are Italian so I’ve been told over and over again that a good feed is paramount to a good night’s sleep. And of course food is the answer to many other problems!!
Leave a notebook next to my bed: when I remember all those “must do’s” I jot them down so I’m not thinking about them anymore!
For my little man, he has a nice warm bath with some lavander essential oils, then a nice warm bottle with lots of Daddy cuddles then he gets tucked into bed with his blankey and the restful sounds of a thunderstorm. Work like a charm 😉
A full feed, a good nappy, a nice cuddle, a warm bed, a dark room, and there you go. Sweetly sleeping baby.
Co-sleeping with Bub has always worked for me. When Bub sleeps, I sleep!
Routine…and knowing the signals that bubs is tired, so dinner, bath, bottle, bed.
Stick with same routine. Have a nice quite wind down time before going to bed. Have nice soothing sounds around their bedroom.
Pregnant with my first it will be following the guidelines offered by SIDS & kids and using great products like Shnooki.
Currently pregnant with my first child, but I’ve learnt many tips and tricks over the years to ensure that bub and I will have a fabulous sleep!
– warm bath, ensure bubs is at the right temperature (not too hot, not too cold) , massages, tightly wrapped, clean sheets, comfy bedding, dressed appropriately, room not too light or too dark, And most of all, lots of kisses and cuddles.
For baby bedtime bath and lullabies for me a warm milo and soft music helps me to sleep well
