Sleeping ?
Q. I have a daughter that is 6wks,& 4days old. She's been sleeping with me and my husband since she was born, and I want her to start sleeping in her own bed since she is starting to sleep through the night, but I can't do it. The minute I put her down for a nap she'll wake up and stay awake until I lay down with her. I've tried to have her fall asleep next to me and then quietly get up...but I don't fool her!!?? Any suggustions??

A. You have to do it now and you have to be consistent or pretty soon you'll have a 3 year old in bed with you and you'll be asking the same question. It's not going to hurt her or damage the bond you have by letting her cry. If you do it consistently the crying will be less and less each time until there is no crying at all. It will take less than a week, I can almost guarantee you. Also, make sure you are not keeping her awake longer than she should be. An infant should not be spending more than 2 hours awake at a time. Most of the babies I keep in my home day care can barely make it an hour and a half before they are ready for the next nap. Limit her awake time and make sure her bedtime is early, no later than 8. Yes she will still… [cont.]

A. dont have loud music on or tv/computer right before you go to sleep. having lavender in your room helps relax you. there are little lavender scented pouches you can put under your pillow or by your bed. do enough in the day to be tired. try getting up ealy enough to be tired earlier that night. meditation is a good relaxer, showers, oragasms, weed, yoga, soft music, soft lights, are all good for mood setting or relaxing. dont exercise right before you go to bed or eat a lot of sugar. sometimes my thoughts race but you just have to take relaxing slow kinda deep breaths and think about one subject or sing a song in your head, try to make a poem or something that will allow you to slowly drift off into a dream/sleep.

A. You have the same problem as millions of other teens! My son is in there with you! Get up earlier in the morning in steps and go to bed earlier in the same increments. Example, tomorrow get up at 10am and keep moving through the day so you will be tired and ready to sleep. Then go to bed at midnight. Work on that for about 5 days. Then bump it up to 8am and go to bed at 10pm. Save the final adjustment for the 5 days before school starts. Lay off the caffeine in the evening, get some exercise and if a shower relaxes you and makes you sleepy, use that to your advantage also.
