Lately I have had a lot of questions about bedtime.  Many of you wondering how to get your baby not to fight bedtime.  This is not a cut and dry answer, as every baby is different.  I will always recommend keeping your baby on a schedule that way he/she knows when it is bedtime.  If you do a bath and read before bed every night then your baby will catch on to this.

One of the things that I did and still do with Alex is have wind-down time, maybe listening to soft music or reading a bedtime story will help with your little one.

Another question I get a lot is: do I let my baby cry himself/herself to sleep?  Again, everyone has their own opinion, but my answer would be no.  I am not saying go every time they whimper, but let your baby know they are safe.  Sometimes all they need is one more hug and smile!
