Sleep! or not to sleep?

Most parents go through this, are still going through it... It's when the day comes to an end. After bath time and pjs have been put on. After a story or a little spongebob. It's time for the babies to go to bed. 

Newborn: This was probably the worst time you had putting your baby to bed. Or it was the best (darn you!) If it was the worst, that was because you had no idea what you were doing and you were running off of 2-3hours of sleep! Here's what happened. Screaming from baby. Crying from mom. Totally normal and it will pass. (I promise) if you were one of those parents who's newborns slept fine, F off. (Just kidding your time will come) 

Toddler: this stage is by far the hardest because they can walk and talk and they just come into your room or jump and smash into the side of the crib so hard you think it's coming through the floor!! You keep saying nope it's bedtime go to bed.. You hate it you just want time alone to watch junk on TV and check Facebook 14 times!!! But they have other plans. The best is when they are sleeping and you walk upstairs and smell poop and relize, shit! They shit their diaper or peed the bed! Now I have to wake them, or now they are awake! 

Sleeping is hard for babies, toddlers and little kids. They have trouble winding down. Getting infants into a rythem, not schedule helps a lot. Start the rythem as soon as possible. And make sure they eat, having a full tummy helps. Keeping that rythem will help babies and children  know what to expect. Infants do know what's going on they just can't speak so crying is their way of talking. 

Find your families rythem and start it soon. Bedtime will be hard sometimes but it should t be all the time.
