How to get a 3 month old to sleep through the night

Is your newborn still waking for night feeds every few hours? I have successfully raised 2 boys that have been sleeping through the night from about 8 weeks on. I will share my experience with you so that you, too, can get some rest.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• newborn
• swaddling blanket
• patience
• burp cloth
• clean diaper

1. Prepare your nightly routine for your newborn. Generally a bath before bed will soothe your baby then a good feed.
2. Whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding ensure that you spend time between sides or every few ounces to burp your baby. A gassy baby is an unhappy baby making for an unhappy parent, too.
3. Once baby is burped and had a good feed ensure that the diaper is clean and swaddle them tightly in a swaddle blanket. Making your baby feel like they are still "inside" is ideal for the first 3-6 months of their life and makes for a much better sleep for you.
