Babies: Sleep issues 4-7 months

Your baby should start sleeping through the night at about 3 months.
But babies are learning and observing all the time, and your baby could
soon start to associate sleep time with time that mommy isn’t there.
It’s called separation anxiety and it’s a normal part of development
for many babies. But it can be especially trying for parents, as babies
can be particularly strong-willed, especially about bedtime!

Babies: Nursery feng shui

You’ve probably heard of feng shui, the Chinese system for arrangement
and placement of furniture in a room. It’s often used in businesses and
homes as a way to create positive energy in your environment. Even if
you’ve never used feng shui in your own space, why not consider it for
your baby’s room? Feng shui is now making its way into the nursery, and
for good reason, too. Feng Shui proposes that by arranging and aligning
the room correctly, energy will flow better in the room. Positive
energy flow will create an environment to thrive for people of any age,
especially a baby.

Babies: Consistent Naptimes are Key to Quality Nighttime Sleep, Too

Research has shown that the quality and length of your baby’s naps
affects his nighttime sleep.  If he naps too late in the day, it will
most certainly affect his nighttime sleeping.  It’s important to tune
into your baby’s biological clock and learn when his natural naptime is
so his nighttime sleeping schedule is on the right track as well.  It’s
also imperative to get your baby down for a nap as soon as you see his
“sleepy signals.? He will become overtired if you wait too long, and
unable to go to sleep as a result.
