I found that creating a cozy, inviting sleep environment helped my kids settle into a good routine. Soft lighting and a constant white noise in the background seemed to help them relax into sleep mode.A white noise machine was a Godsend for me and my son, especially one with an app that let me control the volume and noise type. It helped recreate the comforting whooshing noises of the womb and would instantly calm him down.
I also found that having a small mobile above his crib was helpful in distracting him and encouraging him to settle down. Bright, colorful objects seemed to capture his attention and bought me some time to sneek in some much needed rest!
And I agree with you on the muslin cloths; they're essential for mopping up milk vomit too! What's your go-to technique for getting babies to sleep through the night, or do you have any secrets for keeping them cozy?
For keeping them cozy, I swear by lightweight cotton wraps; they keep the chill out without making the baby too warm. And having a good collection of these in various colors and patterns adds a bit of fun to the whole experience!
What other tricks do you have up your sleeve for surviving those sleepless nights? Parents might need all the help they can get!
