Question - April 2008

I'm having trouble settling my baby at night. Are there any tricks for settling a baby?

To ensure a baby is settled ready for a good sleep you should make sure the baby has fed well, has had a nappy change, and is wrapped securely in a cotton rug. You should cuddle your baby and talk to it as it knows you even at an early age. Open a window a little so that there is good ventilation in the room. Don’t wake your baby at the fourth hour to feed it. The baby will wake when it is hungry. Remember, a sleeping baby is a happy and thriving baby.
