Babies are adorable.And then, the nightmare creeps in. Sleep time,of course! Sleep problems are some of the most common problems parents face with their kids. You may wonder about how to get your child to sleep through the night. Maybe you have a new baby and want to learn how to help them develop good sleep habits that will last a lifetime. Some children may have chronic sleep difficulties, and many children are actually going through their days sleep-deprived.Here are 7 šŸ‘¶ sleeping tips that will help you get more sleep šŸ˜.

Develop an appropriate sleep schedule with an early bedtime.

The more tired your child is, the more times she will awaken during the night.

Introduce a security or love object to your child.

A transitional object, like a stuffed toy, doll or blanket, helps a child feel safe and secure. Help your child become attached to a security object by including it as a part of the bedtime routine.

Establish a consistent bedtime routine.

Include calm and enjoyable activities, such as a bath and a bedtime story.

Consistent bedroom environment.

Make sure your childā€™s bedroom environment is the same at bedtime as it is throughout the night (eg lighting).

Put your child to bed awake.

After the bedtime routine, put your child into her crib awake and leave the room. The key to having your child sleep through the night is to have her learn to fall asleep on her own so she can put herself back to sleep when she wakes .

Checking method.

If your child cries or yells, check on her. Wait for as long or as short a time as you wish.The visits should be brief (a minute or less) and non-stimulating. Calmly tell your child itā€™s time to go to sleep

Respond to your child during the night.

In the beginning, respond to your child as you normally do throughout the night.

If your child continues to awaken during the night after several weeks, then use the same checking method during the night as you did at bedtime.

Be consistent and donā€™t give up.

The first few nights are likely to be very challenging and often the second or third night is worse than the first night. However, within a few nights to a week, you will begin to see improvement.
