How to help your little one with that important daytime sleep

How to help your little one with that important daytime sleep

Getting your baby to sleep well during the day can sometimes be a struggle. We'll give you some tips that might help. 

Before your baby is born, you anticipate the joy it will bring you every day. What you don't see coming is the level of desperation you feel at night and even during the day when the baby just won't sleep. So, we thought we would share with you some tips that might help when everything else fails.

Primary needs

This might sound basic, but make sure that the little one is well-fed and has a clean diaper. Even the best little sleeper will have difficulties falling asleep if the primary needs are not met. 

White noise

From the womb, the baby is used to constant noise. Recreating this environment with a white noise machine (or just from your phone) can help your baby to fall asleep. 

Swaddle

Babies love to feel snug and secure, as this was their way of life in the womb, and to swaddle your baby gives the little one an extra sense of comfort which can help them relax.

Baby stroller

A lof of babies fall asleep when you are out walking them in the stroller, so enjoy some fresh air while your baby sleeps. Did you know that recent studies show that being rocked while sleeping gives your baby better quality sleep?

Baby sling

To carry your baby in a baby sling, close to your body, will calm the little one. They can feel your heartbeat and the smell of you will help even the most high-need babies.

Both strollers and baby slings are great options to help your baby sleep, but it often requires you to keep moving or the baby wakes up. And after weeks and months of bouncing, strolling, and carrying your little one nonstop to help them sleep your body may start to feel the consequences. All you dream of is just a little time to your self – to sit down with a coffee and a magazine, or perhaps a nap? On that note, we got one more suggestion on the list:

 

The Sleepytroll

If your baby likes sleeping in the stroller and likes or needs motion to stay asleep; Why not let Sleepytroll lend you a hand?

Sleepytroll recreates that rocking feeling which helps your baby sleep long and well in their stroller. Sleepytroll will never replace you, it only helps you rock the stroller when you really need it. It’s when the baby sleeps you can clean the house, play with the siblings, or just relax with a cup of hot coffee.
