Real Moms Share Bedtime Tricks That Really Work

My children have always been good sleepers. When I took my first baby home he would have been happy to sleep through the night. I had to wake him up to feed him, and then do all kinds of maternal tricks to keep him from falling asleep mid-nurse. I know I’m wildly fortunate, and to be honest, other than my bordering-on-obsessive love of routine, I haven’t had to employ any tricks to get my kids to sleep. I realize not everyone has it so easy. That’s why I was happy to pull some wisdom together for a post on iVillage this week. If you have a reluctant sleeper at home, check the real moms I talked to might have something that works for you. Check it out.
