Sleep Tips from
Well-Rested Moms
Getting your baby to sleep can be challenging, even on the best of days. Get advice about routines and must-have products from moms who have been there – and survived.
Consistency is key! Commit to a ritual and stick with it. Eventually, your child will recognize the signals to go to sleep.
Soothing Bedtime Routines
My daughter started fighting sleep. What really helped was giving her a warm bath followed by a feeding. She will literally not wake until the next day around 6am. Every baby is different but this really worked for us.
It gets easier if you are consistently swaddling, placing baby down after falling asleep, comforting in the bassinet, rubbing belly, soothing tones – whatever it is, just do it every time to let baby know that this is the routine.

Rub the swaddle all over you to get your scent on it. After you lay your baby down, stay for a few minutes and place your hand on her tummy to reassure her you're there. Do it for another minute or two and then slowly move your hand away.
Use this portable dome for naptime or playtime, at home or wherever you go.

It sounds counterintuitive, but daytime napping is so important for nighttime sleep. You can differentiate between day and night by keeping lights on, making noise, and staying active. But let the baby nap when he's tired.

I highly recommend taking your baby on a walk 30 minutes to an hour before naptime or bedtime. It has definitely helped my daughter sleep (and stay asleep). I think partially from the nice fresh air, and partially from being exhausted.
White noise was a lifesaver. Calms him almost immediately.
This soother has everything you need to comfort your little one, including soothing light projections and a variety of songs and sounds. And the best part is you can control everything from your phone with the Smart Connect™ app!

I make it a point not to be quiet around my baby, and now she sleeps anywhere and through anything.
I keep the TV on all the time no matter what we're doing so she will be used to it and I don't have to tiptoe around after she's asleep. I think the background noise helps her get used to sleeping regardless of sound and light.
Every baby is different. Explore different routines, advice, and your favorite Fisher-Price products to find what works for your family. And remember the most important thing to do is whatever helps you and your baby get some sleep!

Keep your baby active during the day so she'll sleep better at night. Of course, naps are still important – especially if you're on the go.

Use Noise Strategically
Many moms swear by white noise machines, apps, and other sounds to lull their baby to sleep.
