“Ten Tips To Help Your Baby Sleep Through the night”
1: Less Sleep Does Not Equal More Sleep Allowing your baby to skip his naps in an attempt to make him overtired will actually have the adverse affect. An overtired baby does not sleep well and will fight sleep more than a well-rested baby. Sleep actually induces sleep, so the more well-rested your child is during the day, the better he will sleep at night. Skipping naps can also affect the quality of the sleep your baby receives, so that the time he does sleep will not be maximized to the fullest. Ironically, when a baby’s sleep intervals are far apart, he will wake more frequently in the night. The unfortunate outcome is even more sleep deprivation and frustration for everyone! Skipping naps can also lead to early morning risings, which is a very difficult cycle to break.
