A baby sleeping all night in his own crib is every parent's dream.

Despite the individual characteristics of the child that affect the sleep pattern, there are also general recommendations - they will help moms and dads establish healthy sleep for the baby and get enough sleep themselves.

Consistent bedtime

Some time ago it was believed that a child should be put to bed no later than 9 p.m., but modern pediatricians are sure that the main thing is that the child sleeps enough and falls asleep at about the same time - and whether it is eight hours or ten is not so important.

Repetitive rituals

If you want to make putting your baby to bed as quick as possible, introduce recurring rituals into your life.

For your evening routine, you can choose any of the calm activities, such as bathing, relaxing massage, reading together, etc.

Mascot toy

A sleep talisman toy – a plush bunny, teddy bear or other soft animal – helps the baby fall asleep and feel comfortable during rest. Thanks to this faithful friend, the child calms down during night awakenings and learns to fall asleep independently without mom’s help.
