Infant Sleep Training Tips
I’m going to be real here with my opinions with sleep training tips for babies and you can either appreciate my opinions or get upset with me, but I’m super against co-sleeping, for us. (I know, I know, haters gonna hate.) My husband and I have had a very strict no baby in the bed policy since B was little and I intend to keep it that way with the new baby. So I compiled some infant sleep training tip to share with you all that we used and that have worked. Mom to mom kind of advice. But, if you are interested in co-sleeping, this is our favorite co-sleeper that we use around the house as a baby lounger.
Don’t get me wrong, whenever Branden was first born and Chris was still living in the barracks for 4 weeks before we moved to Virginia with him, there were nights where I would bring him into bed with just me, since he hated his bassinet. But once my husband was there, I really felt like our bed was our sacred place for us. So, onto these infant sleep training tips!
Sleep training tips: our secret weapon!
Sleep has obviously been a popular topic with me here lately, as I prepare myself for the next step in our families journey and I hope to be as in control of our sleep situation as possible. Sleep is so precious for the whole family and a crucial part of a healthy family, so I will be working hard on sleep training with the new little one with Claessens’ Kids Kid’Sleep Moon Sleep Trainer.
It helps children and infants know when its time to go to sleep and when it’s time to wake up based on 4 choices of lullaby’s that you can choose to play at specific times. The Claessen’s Kids Kid’Sleep Moon Sleep Trainer is very specific with all of their settings, allowing you to program the “go to sleep” function, the “wake-up process” and even has nap and weekend settings. This tool a sleep trainer, but works as a night light and alarm clock, too – which has its benefits for both baby and older children as well. If you are curious, it has amazing reviews on Amazon!
