BABY'S SLEEPYTIME

Babies love consistency and establishing routines now will help your baby down the road. Bedtime is an especially important ritual around which to create a schedule. Put your baby down for bed at the same time each night.

Try giving her a bath, singing to her, or feeding or rocking her right before bedtime to relax her and ease the transition into bed. Whatever works, do that every night so your baby associates the routine with going to sleep. A baby cannot put herself to sleep or understand her own signs of fatigue, so learn to recognize the signs that she is sleepy and put her down as soon as she seems tired.

TRAVELING WITH YOUR BABY

Traveling with a baby takes special planning and preparation. One tip is to always bring an extra shirt in case of a spit-up or leak-through. A regurgitated milk stain may make for a more memorable visit, but it's also a lasting impression you'd probably rather not make.

TEACHING INDEPENDENCE

If you'd like to get your baby used to entertaining herself for small amount of time, the best time is just after your baby has eaten, when she's most content. Once she is done eating and burping, place her in a safe place (such as a swing or car seat) where you can still observe her (never leave your baby unattended) and give her a favorite toy. Your baby may play quietly for several minutes at a time at this age.
