Having a baby could be a shock to your sleep schedule. You will find yourself waking up every few hours to feed your baby, which will make getting through the day a little difficult. There are tips and tricks to follow that will make getting through the night easier for parents and baby.

1. Be flexible. This isn’t just for your own schedule, but you want to be flexible in the way the baby is going to sleep. Babies are going to respond differently to treatments. If your baby likes a song, sing a song. If your baby likes the sound of your voice, read a book. You can many different ideas that can help get a child to sleep.
2. Develop a plan that will help you and the baby. Put down when you want your baby going to sleep for the night. Also, set a timetable as to when they should be taking their naps during the day. Set a schedule, but be flexible in that schedule. If one way isn’t working for your child, then try something different.
3. Create a nightly routine for the baby. This could mean different things such as a warm bath, cozy pajamas and singing the child to sleep. Once you find a schedule that works for the baby, stick to it. Changing the sleeping routine could confuse the baby and create unneeded stress, which will make sleeping difficult.
4. Keep consistent bedtimes. The baby will get used to falling asleep around the same time every night. This will also help your baby sleep longer and get through the night better.
5. Get the child to understand the difference between day and night rituals. Daytime is for playing while night is for sleeping. When the baby naps during the day, turn the lights down and try to keep light out. Have them think of it as night whenever they are sleeping.
6. Ensure your baby gets feedings on time. If your child misses a feeding, they could wake up hungry in the middle of the night. A crying, cranky baby is startling during your own sleep. Don’t let the baby get too hungry.
7. Make sure the bedroom is comfortable to sleep in. Regulate the temperature, turn down the lights and get a humidifier if the room gets too dry. Having a comfortable room will make sleeping easier for the baby. It will also help your baby sleep through the night.

Imagine how you like to sleep and what is comfortable for you. Your baby isn’t much different. They just like to eat a lot more. For your own sake, you might want to find time to take naps for yourself. If there is more than one caregiver, perhaps you can both take turns napping when you come from work to help ease each other’s lack of sleep.

Sleeping Boy $3.98 Laugh and smile. Smile and laugh. That's Herr and Frau Rosen -- so happy to have a new baby boy! But when they invite all their friends in Berlin to celebrate the birth of little Knabe Rosen, they leave out one person -- the dreaded Major Krieg. When he comes anyway, he snatches the sleeping boy from the nurse's arms and predicts: "On your sixteenth birthday you will hear the drums drumming as the army marches by. Off to war you'll go -- and you will not come home." However, Tante Taube, the sleeping boy's aunt, hasn't given her blessing yet. "Instead of going off to war," she says, "Knabe Rosen will only sleep...sleep through poverty and war, bad times and sadness, until PEACE comes to Berlin." In this remarkable modern allegory, Sonia Craddock weaves a story of the twentieth century into the familiar framework of the Sleeping Beauty tale. Leonid Gore's resplendent illustrations delicately capture the ethereal, timeless quality of the story while firmly placing it against the backdrop of Berlin.
