Teach Your Baby To Be A Good Sleeper

You will face many issues as a parent but undoubtedly sleep is likely to be one of the most important and will probably be fairly near the top of your list, at least for the first few years anyway.

Your child sleeping through the night is a hurdle that most every parent eagerly anticipates. However, achieving this milestone is not as predicatable as other developmental achievements such as smiling, teething, sitting up or starting to eat solids.

Initially, you will wonder whether your new baby will be a good sleeper. You will, no doubt, have discussed sleep with friends or relatives you know who already have babies or toddlers and you will most likely have heard strories of how their children were sleeping through the night after just a few weeks, or perhaps what a `nightmare' some of them have had getting their babies and toddlers to sleep at night. Little wonder then that you will look upon this subject with some trepidation.
