What I wish I'd known about getting a baby to sleep
BabyCenter moms share their hard-won wisdom on getting babies to sleep:
"No one ever told me that many newborns get daytime and nighttime mixed up. They sleep well during the day but only in spurts at night."
"Sometimes in the middle of the night when the baby is crying and you are tired, it may take a few tries to wrap him back up. Relax, take a few deep breaths, and try again."
"I wish someone had told me you don't need all that expensive crib bedding. The baby doesn't even sleep in the crib for the first few months, and when he transitions to it, most of that stuff doesn't get used."
