Sleep is often hard to come by when you are a parent. If you are a new parent or your kid is older it can still be hard to get all the sleep you got before kids. When talking about parents with younger kids you need to make sure that you are getting sleep in a safe manner. Consider sharing your room so you don’t have to go so far to your baby. Make sure you are prepared for the baby and sleeping. Another thing you will want to do is make sure that you have support.
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t take baby into bed with you, but do consider putting the bassinet, glider, crib close to your bed, so you can both rest.
- Try a white noise machine, or a pacifier to help calm baby.
- Use an alarm to keep to a schedule and don’t forget to let others pitch in too.
