The no-fail bedtime routine that sends my kids to sleep

For young toddlers, the most common sleep problem is frequent waking—some naturally wake up as many as six times during a single night. Sleep trouble isn’t just an adult problem; kids have trouble getting to sleep, too. And they usually keep their parents up with them! Bedtime can become a battle when little bodies don’t bide by the clock.

Key Takeaways:

• There are so many books and articles about sleep that you’re sure to be able to find one that works for you and your parenting philosophies.
• goal each night is to have my girls in bed by 7:00 p.m.; planning for this eventuality begins at 5:00 with the start of dinner. I have succumbed to the fact dinner can and often will take a while.
• Before the girls move to their shared bedroom I turn down the lights, turn on their sound machine, and humidifier.

“We started using Pampers Baby Dry Diapers after my daughter woke up cold and wet using a different diaper brand. The last thing I want after going through ALL THE EFFORT it takes to get both my girls to bed is for one or both of them to wake up.”
