Tip Sheet



Keep them on a "flexible strict" schedule. Deviate when necessary but not too often. Babies do better when they know what to expect. Read and follow the book, On Becoming Babywise. Great book. Both kids slept through the night by 10 weeks.

Good book and ..... There are two schools of thought – allow baby to sleep in parents bedroom and feed on demand, or teach baby to sleep on his own. Babies are individuals, one style doesn't fit all.

Baby may sleep thru the night by 10wks, only to start waking again by 12wks as he becomes more stimulated by the world. Don't force him to sleep thru a daytime (~3hr) cycle. If he cries, let him up for 20mins then put him back down (no need to feed him).
