The following are some helpful tips for establishing good sleep habits for your child: Newborns don't have a set night or day schedule for the first several weeks of life. It is best for a newborn not to sleep longer than 5 hours at a time in the first 5 to 6 weeks as their small bodies need frequent feedings. Older babies and children should have a consistent nap time and bedtime schedule. Start a quiet time, such as listening to quiet music or reading a book, 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime. TV, smart phones, ipads, and computers should not be a part of the quiet time. After quiet time, follow a bedtime routine, such as a diaper change, going to the bathroom, and brushing teeth. Set a time limit for quiet time and the routine so it does not drag on and your child knows what to expect before bedtime. Say goodnight, turn off the light, and leave the room. Security objects, such as a special blanket or stuffed animal, can be part of the bedtime routine. It is important for children to be put to bed awake so they learn to fall asleep themselves. Babies should not be put to bed with a bottle. It causes problems with tooth decay and ear infections.
