Becoming a parent is something no one can prepare you for, however my reason for blogging is to help from one mom to another. So here is a tip I wish I would have done!
Common Mistakes Parents Make with Infant Sleeping Routines
Sneaking Baby into your bed:
Your baby will fall asleep in your arms then you will carry him to his crib and he wakes up disoriented and crys till you come pick him up, your tired it's 1am so what do you do you bring him into your bed WRONG MOVE. I feel babies need their own sleeping space just like mommy & daddy, plus if you start this it's going to be horrible to break him of this habit
Baby Falls asleep while Eatting:
Your baby if breast or bottle falls alseep while eatting and your holding them in your arms, next thing baby know is hes out of your arms and alone so he starts to cry until you pick him up agian!
Inconsistant Schedules:
Babies are creatures of habits and like their own bedtime, so try and not mess with baby schedule. I noticed with my daughter if we stayed home and cooked, played and bathed she slept better on those nights
Not Letting Baby Self-Soothe:
One of the hardest things I didn't do is let me daughter put herself to sleep, Self soothing is something baby has to do on their own and can be done by 6 months old. Since I never did this from a young age we still get up almost everynight!
