Sleep and Your Colicky Baby

Sleep is the most important thing to think about when you have a colicky baby. This can also be the most difficult thing to accomplish, and the whole family suffers f the baby n the house won’t sleep.

Babes are often reluctant to separate from Mom and Dad at the end of the day, and if the colic is due to ear infections, or reflux problems it can be even harder. At night babies are often riled up, and they want to continue the fun that they were having during the day. They may also have some fears about being alone in the dark or away from loved ones.

Of course, because of this, sleep-deprived parents may be longing for a chance for some real sleep themselves, or even just some time with each other that is baby free. Bedtime is hard for parents also so it is important to follow a few do’s and don’ts regarding your baby and sleeping at night.

DO: Consider following a schedule.
DO: Be consistent With Everything.
DO: Keep activities relaxing.
DON’T: Don’t go Ritual Crazy.
DON’T: Leave the lights on.
