Saving Mom Time and Money Everywhere!!

Establishing a routine for babies is the key to bedtime. Babies love consistency and establishing routines at a young age will help your baby when he or she gets older. Bedtime is one of the most important rituals to create a schedule. When you put your baby down for bed make sure it is at the same time each night. Try giving him do the same activities. Give your baby a bath, sing, feed or rock your baby right before bedtime to relax him or her and ease the transition into bed. Whatever works best for you and your baby, do those every night so your baby associates the routine with going to sleep. A baby cannot put themselves to sleep or even begin to understand signs of fatigue, so learn to recognize the signs that he or she is sleepy and put him or her down as soon as he or she seems tired.

We recently moved our little girl in a big girl bed, but she is afraid of the dark and monsters. So we stocked up on glow sticks. She gets to choose one a week to help scare away the monsters and it works as a great night light.
