Pre-bed hours can be stressful both for the kid and the parents, but with these bedtime rituals, it can get more relaxing. There’s no kid who naturally likes to go to sleep, but if you make the whole sleeping thing more chilled, everything will become healthier and better.

Turn off all electronic

All the electronic devices stimulate your kid’s attention and make it want to have with electronic things like TV, iPads, iPods etc. This can make it really hard for you to get your kid to bed as it won’t be willing to stop playing with the electronics.

Have true connect time

Sitting side by side watching TV is not a kind of connect time that we have on mind. Try quietly playing with blocks or stuffed animals on the floor together. You may also invent stories and exchange ideas.

Practice saying goodnight

Kids find it soothing to know that for everything and everyone around them is also a bedtime. Say goodnight to various things in their room and after that say goodnight to your kid as well.

School-age kids need to get adequate sleep every night. This is because not sleeping can affect their day in school as well as their behavior and mood. This is the same for adults. You can create an excellent bedtime routine to help promote healthy sleep for your child. Here are some tips:

Clear up the clutter

Organizing the child’s room before bed can make the room more calm and tranquil. This will ease the process of falling asleep.

Prepare for school

Help the little one pack its school bag, get gear for sports, and pick school clothes. Get jackets if the weather reports are unfavorable and place them at the front door. When your child is mentally ready for school, falling asleep is a breeze.

Take a bath

A warm bath is a perfect activity to get your child ready for bed. Be sure to brush their teeth as well to prevent tooth decay.

Read books

It doesn’t matter if your child is a bookworm or a beginning reader, you can read to your child. Read-only age-appropriate books.

Play soft music

A relaxation CD can come in handy. Ensure that the child likes the sound and use low lights to help him relax. You can also throw in some yoga stretches such as cobras or downward stretches.

Keep his favorite stuffed animal close and tuck him in.

Decorating your little one’s bedroom can be a fun activity, and many parents look forward to it. Picking colors and bedding are important, but choosing a pillow is even more important.

Does your newborn need a pillow?

All new parents are concerned about the comfort of their baby. However, you should note that any bedding material in the bed space could cause suffocation. Newborns do not have control over their heads and necks. Pillows could cover their mouths and noses.

Parents are advised to use only a firm sleep surface, and kids should be laid on their backs.

When can a pillow be introduced?

Toddlers can begin to use pillows at 2 to 3 years of age. This should ideally happen when the child is transitioning to a regular bed. At this age, they can move their heads whenever they are uncomfortable so you won’t have to worry about a suffocation hazard.

Will babies be uncomfortable without pillows?

Don’t worry; a baby will not be uncomfortable without a pillow. Since they are not used to sleeping with it, babies won’t need pillows. Even at 2 to 3 years, they still don’t need pillows. Be sure to choose a sleeping arrangement that they are comfortable with.

When decorating the crib, use a fitted sheet on the firm mattress. Don’t add any stuffed animals or blankets. Soon your child will be old enough for all that.

During pregnancy, difficulty sleeping is quite common. This is because it gets uncomfortable in the 1st and 3rd trimesters. You can get a good night’s sleep if you follow these tips:

Use pillows

Using pillows can come in handy when you feel restless. Use it for belly and back support. Tuck in the pillow between the bent knees to support the lower back. The side sleeping position is recommended for pregnant women. Tucking the pillow behind the back helps maintain this position all through the night.

An extra pillow can also soothe heartburn. Try an extra pillow to push up your head as you sleep. Many expectant mothers feel relieved when they raise the head of the bed. You can do this by sliding pillows under the mattress head.

Pillows for hip relief

Use an egg crate mattress pad on your mattress for hip relief. It helps promote a better quality of sleep especially when your hips hurt when you rest on your side.

What you should eat

What you eat and when you consume the food can affect sleep quality. So it would help if you were careful about this. Taking a warm glass of milk before bed can help aid sleep. Lots of experts believe that the amino acid L-tryptophan makes the eyelids heavy when it increases the level of serotonin in the brain.

Night terrors are common among kids between the ages of four and twelve. But in some cases, younger children experience it as well. How can you help such a child?

Most of the time, it may be nothing to worry about. Here are some steps to take when they occur:

Don’t wake the infant

When you notice that the child is having night terrors, don’t wake it up. Forcing your baby to wake up may make it more difficult when it’s time to go back to bed. Just ensure that the child is safe. You can hold the child down, so it doesn’t hit his head on the crib.

Start a bedtime routine

This includes not staying up late. Kids should get adequate sleep, so ensure that they sleep earlier. Don’t wait until they are too tired before putting them to bed.

Reduce stress

Reduce any stress the child may be facing, as this may be a part of the problem. Also, make sure that you stick to the routine even while you’re traveling.

Visit the pediatrician

Night terrors usually stop in a short while if you follow the tips above. When they become too frequent, it is time to inform the pediatrician about the problem. Before going to the doctor, note patterns during the nightmares and document it. This will ease the diagnosis, and the doctor will come up with an effective solution.

The visual of a sleeping baby is one of the most tranquil views a parent can get in his or her lifetime. Without a doubt, a calmly sleeping baby is a sign of a healthy and satisfied infant. But a problem occurs when the baby isn’t able to sleep peacefully. Here are few products to help you out in the baby sleeping process:

Noise-generators

These are made to produce shushing noise that soothes your baby into a serene sleep. You can get a basic one online or from any baby store. They offer a selection of natural ambient sounds, soft songs, and even womb sounds.

Sleep training clock

These clocks can teach your baby through graphics and colors about the time when it should sleep or wake up. The sleeping clock can help stubborn toddlers get into the routine of “early to bed and early to rise.”

Bassinet for baby

A bedside bassinet will allow parents to let their baby sleep at their side without getting into the complications of co-sleeping with the baby. These offer separate sleeping space for your baby and can be kept on bed easily. This is perfect for babies who are used to sleeping with parents.
