Getting your baby to sleep through the night can be one of the most difficult things to do as a new parent. Because every child is different, there is not one solution that can be used. However, there are a few good general tips that can be used while observing your baby's specific temperaments that will help to figure out exactly what your baby needs.
Since I know you don't have too much time to read multiple pages of information, I will keep this straight and to the point.
1. Have a bedtime routine.
I have found this to be very important. It is beneficial for the child because it will put them in the same state of mind every night before bed. Make sure it is something you are able to stick to. Maybe read a short book right before you place them in bed to get started.
2. Give them a security object.
Let your child go to bed with a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. It will make them feel more secure while falling asleep or if they wake up during the night. When a baby wakes up in the night they have no sense of where they are, but if they have something that is familiar to them, they will be more comfortable and more than likely fall back asleep.
3. Don't rush in.
If your child wakes up crying during the night, don't rush in. I know this can be especially hard, but sometimes they will fall back asleep on their own and this will create further sleep independence.
4. Be consistent.
This is a biggie! If both parents do not follow the same techniques, nothing will ever change. It is important that both parents are on the same page when it comes to an action plan for your child. This holds true for anything relating to your child's upbringing.
