Tips for ensuring a good night’s sleep

If a baby’s sleep is disturbed, it can affect the entire family. A tired baby is a grumpy baby, and this can easily make adults tired, too. Luckily there are some tips to help your baby get a peaceful night’s sleep:

X Putting a baby to sleep on a sheepskin provides warmth and soothes the baby, especially during the cold season, and many babies sleep longer if they are on a sheepskin. X Swaddling a newborn soothes the startle reflex. Research shows that in addition to settling babies more quickly, swaddling also helps babies to sleep more deeply and for longer.
