Hi all,
please help me get some sleep. My baby does not sleep for more than 30 minutes and i have to stay awake almost all night. It is getting terrible day by day. My brother brought many toys that was supposed to help her go to sleep. none of those works.
please please please throw some ideas.....
I have almost forgotten what a nice sleep is. my worry is that without getting proper rest i may not be able to take good care of my baby.
Immediate remedy would be to get some sleep when your child sleeps during daytime. This way you will be able to give some rest to your body.
Try giving a hot bath to your baby just before sleep.
You should have the temperature and humidity adjusted according to the baby. And make sure the bed is warm. Put warm towel or flannel sheet to male the bed comfortable.
For my baby soft music the job. My son had similar problems and I kept trying so many things. In the end some friend suggested to have soft music in the room whole night. And yes that clicked. Even if he would wake up he went back to sleep listening the music.
You can try putting soft soothing music.

Will cot mobile be useful. A friend was suggesting to get one. I want to confirm if it does help as its a costly thing and I will buy one only if it can help in some way.
sonime,
Set up a routine for taking our baby. If your baby is waking up late in the mornings to make up for less sleep at night, start waking him up early this will make him sleep better at night.
Another thing you can do is put him for a nap in a lighted area so that his naps are shorter. These helps baby sleep better at night.
Hope it helps.
All the best
Give a massage and then a hot water bath before putting your baby to sleep. Wrap your baby properly so that he/she is warm throughout night. These things helped me with my kids sleep.
