Before nurturing your baby to sleep, let's know the following two points:

1. How long does the baby need to sleep every day?

2. What are the factors that affect your baby's sleep?

The first 3 days of the day do not let the baby sleep beyond 1 hours at a time, in a gentle way to wake him (her), can take him to a well-lit place, let him perceive the situation in the daytime. It can be extended by 15 minutes every 3 days thereafter, but not beyond 2 hours at a time.

This cuts the daytime bedtime, the baby will compensate at night, set up a normal day and night routine rules.

These, all need mom and Dad's careful observation and discrimination.
