Top 5 sleep routine (and sleep training) tips for parents with small children

Baby Health

After many tears, trial and error, I’m happy to say that my three boys consistently sleep well each night. When you have more than one baby you quickly realize how truly individual each child is. Some children are more spirited than others, and each one has different needs and bedtime negotiation tactics! As parents, we know there isn’t always one answer for all kids. 

After trying many sleep training methods with my second child and none of them working, I knew I didn’t want to risk more sleepless nights with my third. I used the Calmmother feeding and sleep program to transition my third baby on a good sleep routine. It is much easier to gently put your baby on a sleep routine when it’s the only thing they know, compared to breaking the well-established sleep habits of a toddler, preschooler or school-aged child.
