You’d think we’d have had enough of the sleep topics for your little babies, and yet, here’s another! 🙂 Sleep training! What is it and how do you do it?
The greatest myth is that little sack of potatoes you bring home “knows” exactly how to sleep. You know…all the intricacies involved in falling asleep…all the things you and I don’t think about (and we know you are almost asleep right now! LOL!) because you and I KNOW how to fall asleep.
And yet, you think babies would know instinctively how to do something they’re designed to do the majority of their days and nights. And yet, they do NOT! Oh, boy. This is where the fun mantra runs through your mind, “What on earth have I done to my old life?”
Yep. And now the ACTIVE PARENTING begins! (Breathe, breathe, in and out…it will be fine! You can totally rock this!)
Your baby “knows” how to be tired. He or she definitely knows how to tell you he/she is tired. (Watch the video on Sleep Cues if not.) Now it is up to you to teach them how to meet this need. And if you don’t, let us just say, we might feel sorry for you a tinsy-weensie bit, but then we’ll put our babes to sleep and have a cup of coffee (or some other liquid treat), watch a flick, and maybe even paint our toenails! YEEHAW!
How do you also catch a chick flick with painted toenails and a drink in hand? Well, watch Erin and Rebecca discuss how to sleep train your baby! It’s easy when they’re little…and gets harder and harder the older they get (darn that child development). So, it’s never to start on the road to sanity and a little peace and quiet! 🙂
Before you fall asleep yourself, LIKE our video, SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel (worth our weight in gold, aren’t we? LOL!), and LEAVE A COMMENT below about how you sleep train (or don’t sleep train, but would like to).
Have any questions…haphazardly click on “Email Us” in the link above and give us a piece of your mind…or whatever you have left of it. LOL! 🙂
Until next post-
Hugs!
