Sleeping, like eating is not a state that can force a baby into. The Best way is to create a secure environment that allows sleep to overtake the baby. A realistic long- term goal is to help the baby develop a healthy attitude about sleep, and create the feeling that sleep is a pleasant state to enter and a secure state to remain in. Many sleep problems in older children and adults stem from children growing up with an unhealthy attitude about sleep. They grow up thinking that sleep was not a pleasant state to enter and was a fearful state to remain in. Just as daytime parenting is a long-term investment, so is nighttime parenting. Teach the baby a restful attitude about sleep when they are young and both the parent and children will sleep better when they are older.

Proper sleep training to baby

If the current daytime or nighttime routine is not working, think about what changes to make in the lifestyle that will make it easier to meet the baby's needs. This is a better approach than immediately trying to change the baby. One cannot control the reaction of a baby. Staying flexible is good option in case to tackle baby to help them with sleep. No single approach will work with all babies all the time or even all the time with the same baby. Don't continue with a failing experiment. If the sleep program isn't working for the family, drop it. Develop a nighttime parenting style that works. Babies have different nighttime temperaments and families have varied lifestyles. Keep working at a style of nighttime parenting that fits the temperament of the baby and own lifestyle. If it is working, stick with it. If it is not, be open to trying other nighttime parenting styles.  Be prepared for one style of nighttime parenting to work at one stage of an infant's life, yet need a change as she enters another stage. Be open to trying different nighttime approaches. Follow good sleep training and the baby will eventually work out the right nighttime parenting style for the family.
