We have been reading about baby sleep training recently. Hardly thought of it or paid attention to it.. Not because that we don’t care but mostly because of our current daily and week end routine.
For my hubby, many a times it’s a long day at office. I’m running after Neil once till the time he is back.
After that both have their hours of joy while I am in kitchen preparing dinner.
By the time we are done with dinner and short TV break, its almost 10PM … :( … provided no one has office or personal work.
Over the week end, we are tempted to watch a movie or visit nearby park or friends’ place.

Well, I’m sure, you might have similar or matching routine.. Don’t you?
What is a sleep training? What should be ideal sleep routine? Where all this jazz comes into picture..?
To my knowledge sleep training is simply allowing child to have enough sleep, creating environment that he is taking care of his own sleep. And most importantly following a routine so that it develops into a habit.

Is that important? What all we need to do?
I understand it is important.. Absolutely. Trust me it is important. I’ll let you figure out reasoning behind that.
Make a routine and stick to it. Its not easy.. I know.. specially given the fact that we all have varied interests after office hours.. or sometimes office has extended hours :) You figure that out..

How it will help?
A well developed sleep routine can have long term impacts on overall growth.
Doesn’t it feel better if we get up early? I typically feel very relaxing as I get early morning and find time for myself.
Hope to implement same routine for my little champ too.

Too much from me now.. Have a great day.
