A lot of first-time parents make the mistake of not starting a baby sleep schedule.
Figuring they'll enjoy as much time as they possibly can with baby during her first few months, they shy away from creating a routine, dismissing the notion as old fashion.
A year or two down the road, however, these same parents often find themselves at a loss on how to get an irritable toddler into bed.
It is then the light bulb shines bright and they look jealously at other parents who report that thanks to their baby sleep schedule they only have minor problems getting their little ones off to dreamland.
The importance of a schedule goes beyond simply parents' convenience (or inconvenience)!
Remember, setting up a good schedule can take some work, ritual and even elbow grease at first.
When baby gets used to a routine of, for example, waking at 7, napping at noon and going to bed at 8, everyone benefits.
