Babies need plenty of sleep so that they can grow up fast and strong.
Besides, when baby is sleeping soundly, so does mummy!
There are many tips and tricks that you can use to make sure your baby drifts off into dreamland.
This, of course, involves ensuring the utmost sleep hygiene for your baby: establishing a soothing bedtime ritual (reading stories, taking a bath, etc.).
Additionally, setting up a cool temperature in the room and maintaining a regular sleep-wake routine.
But beyond that, here are some must-have solutions that can make your job as a mother that much easier.
A Perfect Night’s Sleep
Establishing a comfy sleep environment is paramount when it comes to ensuring a peaceful night for your baby.
And this begins with setting up a comfortable bedding situation that will help them not only fall asleep quickly but also stay asleep.
Here’s what you need to ensure your baby is sleeping comfortably the whole night through.
The first thing on the list? A good baby cot.
The Chicco Lullaby Zip Cot / Playard is not just a baby bed, it also doubles as a playpen and a diaper changer.
A hidden compartment allows for easy storage. The whole set comes with a detachable deluxe parent organiser for easy travel.
Of course, a cot alone is just half the equation. You’ll need some sheets and bedding to truly build your baby’s ultimate sleep haven.
The Babylove Premium 4 in 1 Set may be just what you need. The set includes a foam mattress, a pillow and two bolsters.
Or if you’d rather get the full set, the Babylove 7 in 1 Bedding Set includes all the bedding necessities your baby needs for a good night’s sleep.
This includes a pillow, two bolsters, a comforter, a fitted sheet and two cot bumpers.
The bumpers add an extra layer of protection to prevent any injuries while your baby sleeps.
Rock-A-Bye-Baby
There’s nothing like a good rocking to put your baby fast asleep. The swaying motion can quickly lull them into slumber.
But choosing the best rocker or cradle is important not only for your money’s worth but also for efficacy.
The material needs to be comfortable and soft, but most of all, durable.
Here are some rocking options to help your baby drift off effortlessly.
The Babylove Rockable Baby Cradle Stand with Accessories (compact) can hold up to 30kg thanks to the durable steel spring and cradle stand.
The net is made from 100% polyester mesh which is washable, durable and quick-drying.
It’s breathable, allowing plenty of ventilation, keeping your baby cool as you rock them to sleep.
The Chicco Hoopla Beige Re_Lux Baby Bouncer is a more compact option, allowing easy storage and transport.
You can set it to both fixed and rocking position and it also comes in four reclining positions.
The game bar with slideline system helps stimulate your baby’s psychomotor and cognitive development too.
Another option to ensure optimal space-saving in the home is the Babylove Compact Bouncer XL with Bouncer Net.
This bouncer is super compact and easy to store away.
The easy-to-wash polyester net ensures ventilation and comfort throughout the night.
Sleep Buddies
Sometimes your baby doesn’t want to sleep alone; a companion is needed. These sleep aids are great for keeping your little one company.
They sing lullabies to help your baby sleep and play soothing lights to promote a relaxing environment.
Try out these top-rated sleeping devices to help your little one doze off without a single worry in mind.
The Chicco Toy Bunny Dreamlight is a portable rabbit lamp that gently lights up your child’s room and plays classic melodies to create a relaxing atmosphere.
You can press on the musical note to change the melody which plays for 10 minutes until your baby falls asleep.
If you’re looking for a way to further personalise your child’s bedtime ritual, the Chicco Toy Polar Bear Neutral Projector has all the perks.
The device projects a soothing lightshow on the walls and ceilings to lull your baby to sleep.
It also plays relaxing classical music like Mozart, or nature sounds.
The projector also hooks easily on the edge of your baby’s cot.
Sweet Dreams
Generally, it doesn’t take much to help a baby fall asleep. A comfy bed, some nice soft music and maybe a soothing lightshow is all it takes.
But it’s important too to experiment and see what works and what doesn’t.
With these recommendations in mind, you’ll have some idea about some of the best way to help your baby fall fast asleep with barely any effort.
Once you have a great bedtime routine set up for your little one, they’ll be dozing off to dreamland in no time.
