Advice History
Nightwaking
Props help too. Try giving your child a teddy bear, doll, blankie or something that will comfort them through the night. In the book, "The Pocket Parent" by Gail Reichlin and Caroline Winkler, they suggest some "sanity savers" such as sitting down with the family to discuss bedtimes rules and to be consistent with bedtime schedules and routine. They also feel it is important to realize when a child is tired and use that time to get them to sleep. Following their natural body rhythm will help give them the best sleep and hopefully will prevent nightwaking. However, if they do wake up, try to put them back to sleep in their own bed everytime.
