Long sunny days, trips to the cottage, entertaining, and busy summer schedules can wreak havoc on your baby’s sleep routine. If you’re worried about protecting your little ones’ sleep schedule while trying to enjoy your own summer getaway, don’t be – you can still get the rest and relaxation you deserve and not throw off your baby and toddler’s sleep schedule by following these tips.
You probably have a bedtime routine of your own and don’t even realize it. Maybe you wash your face, brush your teeth, and read a book. Or you take a shower and drink tea. I have one friend who loves to wind down by brushing her dog.
You may have found you’ve finally gotten into a consistent routine but then your little one starts waking earlier and earlier, until suddenly you realize it’s a regular occurrence. And no parent really wants a 5:00 a.m. wakeup call.
It’s mid-afternoon and you’ve been eagerly anticipating your baby’s nap so you can get a few moments of quiet time, catch up on chores, or even take a short nap yourself. Only your baby didn’t get the memo and naptime at your house is almost non-existent.
Not napping is a common problem that happens when your very portable newborn gets a bit older. The good news is it can be fixed with a few adjustments.
The good news is our evenings are now getting lighter and spring is just around the corner. The bad news is it also means that Spring Daylight Savings Time is just around the corner. On Sunday, March 11 at 2:00 a.m. we’ll all put our clocks forward one hour once again and if you are a mom who finally got your baby or toddler on a sleep schedule, the upcoming change can feel like a nightmare.
You’ve made it through your baby’s first year of life and hopefully you’re not too exhausted! Now that your little one is a toddler, you’re most likely noticing their own personality shining through more and more and that they seem to be growing and learning at lighting speed. This age can be really fun for parents, but it can also be a time where battles begin and boundaries are pushed.
It’s time for our third installment of Your Best Bundle brought to you by Bundle Organics, our partner Gugu Guru, and me– your host, new mama and Bundle Organics Brand Director.
Just because you are expecting or breastfeeding doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy a delicious drink! In fact, you have even more reason to stay hydrated. While pregnant and now while nursing, I’ve done my best to drink the recommended 8-10 glasses of water per day.
