It will all work out. Start a bedtime routine be willing to be flexible with it but also be willing to stick to it!!!

I was so fortunate, as my boys were very good night sleepers. I know on some of those droopy eye nights, I would just tell myself, "They will grow up so fast and I will wonder where the time went." Then I would say a little prayer...and you know what? It all worked out! Patience, patience, patience. A Mother's Love is something so special- your little one needs you!

I kept them to a routine and when they take a nap durning the day limit the time the baby is sleeping. If you have to wake her up ,then do it. This way she will sleep at night instead of the day

I don't recall exactly what I did to get my girls to sleep through the night. They are now 11 and 6.

Love the lamb. He is too cute! :)

Yes, this does work too! My girls, even at 11 and 6, still have their favorite bear (11) and blanket (6) in bed with them.

I used to give my babies a bath in Johnson&Johnson Lavender Bedtime bath. Then give the baby a little message in the Johnson&Johnson Lavender Bedtime lotion. Make sure they are nice and full of milk (or whatever they eat) and gently rock and sing them to sleep. AAAWWWEEE I WANT A BABY!!!
