Establish one from the moment your little one comes home, and she&#8217;ll be more likely to sleep well later on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>1.&nbsp;Limit distractions-<\/strong>&nbsp;Babies need to wind down, just like you. So start switching gears (low lighting, little noise) about 30 minutes before bed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>2.&nbsp;Get in a habit-<\/strong>&nbsp;Choose a few activities, like a bath or book, to do each night. If feeding is part of that routine, do it first so Baby doesn&#8217;t rely on it to fall asleep. Put her to bed when she&#8217;s obviously drowsy, but still awake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>3.&nbsp;Try white noise-<\/strong>&nbsp;A simple machine is comforting, and you won&#8217;t have to whisper the rest of the night!<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><strong>4.&nbsp;Stick with it- <\/strong>Put your baby to bed at the same time and in the same place each night.
