Every mother, whether a first-time mom or an experienced one, has to make those decisions about whats best for her baby. You can start out with books by experts and of course friends and relatives always have advice for a new mother and baby.
These are a way to start, but if what youre doing doesnt work, then you have to try something new. Try different things at bedtime to see what works for you and your baby. Shes unique and not like any other baby, after all!
You can try different types of foods at night, or the timing of her last feeding. Are her pajamas soft and not scratchy? Be sure to use special detergents made just for baby clothes, especially in the beginning. Can you hang her clothes and bedding outside in the sunshine to dry? Who doesnt feel all cozy and comfy when going to sleep in bedding thats been dried outside? Just make sure no critters get into the bedding or clothes.
Do you have a ritual at night? Maybe it starts with a nice bath and then a feeding while holding her close to you. Nothing feels more wonderful than holding a baby right out of the bath when they have that wonderful baby smell. Its just important to make this a pleasant and relaxing time for both of you, especially when your babys very young, in the first months of her life.
If it takes a long time for your baby to wind down, then you might need to start your rituals early in the day. If youve been playing with her beforehand, then it might take a little longer to get her to sleep. Again, those rituals of bath, feeding, talking and singing in a quiet, darkened room will soon signal bed time for your baby (and hopefully for you too!)
