Babies go to sleep in different ways. One would rock to sleep in her father's arms when her mother finally stopped talking. One would let a parent sing him to sleep. One fought it and then his father read a story book. The baby listened and fell asleep. One baby fell asleep when a parent placed him in his crib. Many fall asleep at the breast. There is no one size fits most when it comes to getting a baby to sleep. However, when something works with a particular baby, it will frequently continue to work.

Additional Tips from the Sleep Lady below:

Most babies under 18 weeks of age need us to help soothe them to sleep whether that means we hold, rock or feed them to sleep. Sleep begins to develop and deepen around 4 months of age and you may begin to see a larger block of sleep at night (4-6 hours). Naps develop in the next few months so do what you can to help them nap well whether thans holding, rocking, feeding or wearing your baby to sleep.

When you try to get your baby to sleep is an important point also. Watch the clock and your baby for their sleepy cues. Newborns can often only be awake for 1.5-2 hours before becoming tired again. Babies 6months to 12months can be awake for 1.5-3 hours from wake up in the morning to morning nap and 2-3 hours in between naps and finally 4 hours between afternoon nap and bedtime. A typical bedtime for a baby over 5months of age is around 7-7:30pm. Getting your baby's natural bedtime will help them go to sleep more easily.
