Sleeping babies are like angels. They are a gift from God that you should treasure forever. Thus, you need to provide them proper care and attention. One of the most important things that a parent should take to consideration is that babies require a lot of sleep in order for them to grow. You as a parent should make sure get this.

Seeing how cute they are when sleeping is like seeing an angel in heavenly slumber. Your babies need at least sixteen hours a day of sleep as they grow. You should expect this to happen but it gradually change as they age.You may become aware of the fact that they sleep most of the time and just wake up to feed and falls back to sleep again.

Often times they are awake at night when you are ready to go to bed and relax your exhaust body, one of the few things that some parents advise is that, you try to wake them, gently of course, at 6:30 or 7:00 in the evening and try to keep them awake as  late as 9:00 so that when you are ready to go to bed they’d be sleepy too. Just make sure you do this consistently so that it would work and your baby’s body clock can adjust in it too.

Some parents also use a white noise sound as they rock their baby as it helps them to sleep. Others say that babies love to be swaddled and you can provide your babies a blankets for your babies to be swaddled tight. You may want to try this baby sleeping solution.

One of the issues of a parent is struggling with how to put their babies to sleep. There are a lot of notions on how to do this of course.

There’s singing to them in a quiet nice way, or reading for them. You can also carry them in your arms and rock slowly or walk them around the room. Other expert advise is to establish a routine on when your babies should sleep, maybe a warm bath, change of clothes and sing to them or read them a good book. It will help them adjust their body clock and will give them a signal that it is time to fall asleep.

Your baby’s body will respond to that bedtime if you try to keep it at the same time almost everyday. You also have to pay attention to your baby’s behavior.  Often times they will let you know when they are tired and ready for naptime, so you really have to be aware of it.

Also in putting your baby to sleep it is important that you bear in mind how important it is for them to have a comfortable place to sleep. Babies like us adults have preferences in their sleeping bed.  As much as you like to have a comfortable and cozy bed to sleep on, they require that too, but in fact you can manipulate this preferences for them.

Always keep the temperature of the room at a comfortable level, make sure it is not too warm and not too cold and dress your babies appropriately.  Make sure that their dress is not itchy or hot.

Also avoid interacting or talking to them when they wake up in the middle of a nap, they often cannot fall back to sleep if you intervene, so let them be.  Comfort your babies if they get upset.  A baby always needs to know that they are loved and will be taken care of when they need help.

In the middle of the night try to keep lights off and gently soothe your baby by rubbing her back, giving her a soft blanket, a pacifier if she uses one, or turning on some quiet music or white noise.  Your baby will soon learn that nighttime is for sleeping and will learn to put herself back to sleep when she awakens.  Then you will both get more sleep, and that’s the real goal isn’t it?

As parents, you see your babies as the sparkling angels of your life. It pains you when they cry endlessly and have sleepless nights and you couldn’t do anything about it. You want your precious child to doze in a wonderful slumber, a slumber of an angel.

See how lovely they are when they have blissful sleep, as if there are no problem in the world and everything is well. Just how good you feel when you see them having a good sleep.  Worrying about what they feel when they cry because of something you don’t even know is just unfair, isn’t it? They require sleep but there is something that is keeping them from having it and you don’t know what. It’s frustrating and upsetting.

Seeing them smile after waking from their deep slumber is heavenly. Their cute faces accentuated with a sweet smile is both fulfilling and satisfying as a parent. You will truly be contented with it. Having been able to keep them from crying and seeing them sound asleep is just gratifying. Seeing them radiate with happiness is just delightful.

One important part of parenting is establishing a good sleep routine and daily schedule. It is my opinion, as a mother of three children, that they are so much happier and behave so much better when we stick to a routine.  I’m not saying that I am a strict “You will go to bed at 8:15, you will eat breakfast from 7am-7:30, playtime from 11:15-12:30″ type of mom, but as a general rule we try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day, take good naps at designated times, and do other activities, including household chores, in between. Try it, it helps me!  My babies sleep better, I sleep better, and we have a happier daytime.

A child having enough good sleep will wake up having a beautiful day which flows to you too. Both of you will enjoy the benefit given by good sleep. You both will have a great bonding time minus the cries and the tantrums of your baby. It will allow you to dedicate precious moments to build up a good relationship with your baby.

Some days aren’t you just ready to quit? Yesterday, for reasons beyond my control or no reason at all, both of my toddler boys were cranky.

Typically my children wake up happy in the morning, play and romp around until lunchtime, eat and then take a nice two hour or so nap. After resting time, as we call it in our house, the boys get up and play and look forward to Daddy coming home from work. They help me make dinner and set the table, clean up the toys to make the house look nice again and then wrestle with Daddy until we eat. After dinner it’s usually more playtime with Daddy and then time for bedtime stories and a bath and by 8:15 or so they’re tucked in their beds on their way down for a good twelve hour sleep.

It sounds ideal, especially since we’re talking about a just-turned-three year old and a twenty month old boy. Of course, it doesn’t always go as planned.

Yesterday was one of those days. Oddly enough, both boys woke up in the morning crying and whining. (Why does it always have to be both on the same day?) Before we’d even been able to eat breakfast both boys had already thrown at least one fit (heaven forbid I gave them the wrong spoon to eat their yogurt!) and it just went downhill after that. By ten o’clock in the morning I was ready to put them both back in bed. It seemed that they couldn’t play for two minutes without there being a major crisis, and then they’d just throw back their heads and scream.

Finally after lunch I was able to put them down for a nap. Both boys fell asleep almost immediately and I crossed my fingers that they’d take an especially long nap so they could wake up and be my normal happy boys again. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way. A mere forty five minutes into their nap my youngest yelled out and wouldn’t be comforted back to sleep. Ten minutes after that his brother also woke up crying and was done with his rest.

We tried lots of quiet activities to help calm them during the afternoon– playing with playdoh, reading books, coloring. Still the whole day was just full of whining and tantrums and a whole lot of tears. When their Daddy got home from work the boys didn’t even acknowledge him– they were too busy complaining that they didn’t want what we were having for dinner and they wanted the blue plates, not the orange ones.

I finally realized that my twenty month old was probably cranky because his second molars are starting to come in. He’s always had a hard time with teething. A low dose of Infant Tylenol did wonders to help him feel better and actually be able to sleep through the night. My three year old though had no apparent excuses, it was just an off day. Luckily both kids went to bed right at 8 and slept well and today has been a much happier day.

It’s hard as a mom to not feel like you just want to throw in the towel and curl up in your own bed when the kids are so cranky. What do you do to cope with days like I had yesterday? Let me know what I can do to keep my sanity and help my children get past these grumpy episodes by adding your comments.
