Tips for Getting Baby to sleep 








Cries are communication for Baby!
Don't  take you'r babies cries personally. Your baby loves you! The cries mean I LOVE YOU BUT CANT FIND THE WORDS TO SAY WHAT I NEED.
Mom in Me Bedtime tips:
1.Play , play , play before bedtime play with your baby Tickle, play with toys , play tag ,peak a boo. Get rid of all that  baby energy!
2.At night, set up a soothing routine. Give your baby a bath, sing a song , read a book, or tell a story( tell baby about your day ) Leave out the part about your boss. These activities can help your baby relax. They also signal that it is time to sleep.
3.When your baby is getting sleepy, put your baby in his or her crib in a quiet, darkened room.

-Tips for getting baby to go back to sleep:
1.Try to feed your hungry baby  when he or she starts to wake up and is still calm. Hungry cries often start with low  and become higher and higher pitched.
2.Keep the light off during nighttime feedings, and use a low voice.
3.Keep Calm !  Babies are  very sensitive to a parent's feelings of frustration. Take a deep breath and enjoy! Remember Baby loves you! Cries are communication.
