My little boy has pretty much always been an okay sleeper. He will go to bed and fall asleep very easily, as long as me or daddy is by his side! If we get up, before he falls asleep, he will cry. But, once he is asleep, he is usually okay.
Sure, he tosses and turns ALL night long, but it is in his sleep. But, with all the tossing and turning, it makes for a sleepless night for mom and dad (baby sleeps with us). And no, he won’t do the crib thing, we have tried. That is not a concern for us though as we love our babies (yep all of them!) sleeping with us 🙂
Anyways, I have found that when my baby sleeps in a very good diaper, he usually will not toss and turn AS much. Having a good diaper, like Pampers, helps my little one to sleep through the night, more comfortably.
With daylight savings time almost here, I am a bit worried about my kids getting a little thrown off their sleep schedules. Thankfully, we usually don’t have that big of a problem with the time changes, but I know that having my littlest one comfy and in his Pampers, he will be sleeping better.
Some sleep tips I have learned, with my littlest one are:
Putting him in a room with a low light lamp before bed. No bright lights!
Making sure he is changed and has a clean Pampers diaper (I add powder too, to help keep him really dry)
No t.v., just soft talking voices
I will also put lavender lotion on the bottom of his tootsies, that seems to help him fall asleep too
Those are just some tips I have learned, with this baby, that help him fall asleep and stay asleep, most of the night. But, it is different with each kid!
Did You Know?
A 2013 survey conducted by Pampers found that nearly one-quarter of mothers (24%) felt that a dry diaper was the number one thing that enabled their baby to sleep through the night. Moms instinctively understand the importance of sleep – and research proves her right! Sleep contributes to well-being in many ways, from physical and cognitive development to sociability and day-to-day mood. That’s why Pampers is so committed to keeping baby dry during the most important parts of their day: love, play and sleep. Through Pampers’ extensive research on sleep, they’ve learned that babies are more vulnerable to waking up when they’re wet. Unlike other diapers that offer two layers, Pampers diapers have three absorbent layers that provide up to 12 hours of overnight dryness protection. It’s Pampers hope to minimize sleep disruptions so that little ones get the sweet slumber they deserve and need!
