With my first baby, she seemed to be programmed to sleep all day and be awake at night for those first couple of weeks. So, I had to make sure I was waking her during the day to feed, rather than letting her sleep, and did the opposite at night. It took a couple of weeks, but being persistent during the day when it was so tempting to just let her sleep really paid off at night, and she was sleeping thru the night at 9 weeks.
1. Create a sleep inducing "sleep environment": dark room, cool, white noise of some sort 2. Create a consistent sleep schedule. 3. Make sure your children get an age appropriate amount of sleep. 4. Limit things that may hinder sleep: caffeine, sugar, tv/video games 5. Have a simple, attainable bedtime routine
-Infants: Swaddle -Infants: Don't let them get overtired- they will probably only have 1-2 hours between sleep

1. baby prematurely waking up or waking when put down
2. baby fussing while sleeping, when to pick up
3. becoming a human pacifier...
