Create baby’s bedtime routine - Naveed Yaseen - 11-07-2009 06:41 AM
Babies are never too young to benefit from a bedtime routine, the US National Library of Medicine says.
The agency offers these suggestions for developing bedtime habits from the start:
Today’s Health Tips
* Don’t give your baby a bottle in bed. Make sure the last bottle of the day is given a sufficient amount of time before bed.
* Enjoy quiet relaxation time with your baby.
* Put baby to bed when sleepy, but not when he or she is actually asleep. This way, baby gets used to falling asleep alone.
* When baby cries, speak in a soothing tone. Or rub baby’s back until calm. But don’t pick baby up.
* Avoid turning lights on when you feed baby in the middle of the night.
* Whatever your routine, make sure you’re consistent, and try to ensure that both of you enjoy it.
* Don’t sleep in the same bed with a baby that’s 12 months or younger. This may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
