Today's Tip: Working out a Schedule with Baby
I think one of the most helpful strategies a mom can have is getting her baby on a schedule. That means doing the same thing every time in a consistent rhythm.
Let me explain a little further.
One mom has a bedtime schedule for her twins. After they are fed and bathed, she sits down in the rocking chair with both of them and rocks them while she reads the same story to them every night. They know that this is preparation for bedtime, and when one falls asleep, she gently puts him to bed then goes back and reads to the other one from the same story until he falls asleep. It is a bedtime habit that has proven to be very beneficial in getting her babies to bed; it is soothing and calming to her babies as well as to her. There are no surprises, no interruptions (usually) and bedtime is a happy time for all.
This is just one example of how parents can make Baby feel secure by putting into action a plan to make things calmer and more dependable by implementing a good schedule.
I hope this little piece of advice has been helpful to you. Don't stress. Work out a plan that is compatible for both you and for Baby, and you will both be better for it.
