Getting a good naptime routine established is very important. Babies need a lot of sleep, and if they're not
getting enough of it, they get tired and irritable very easily. Unfortunately, the more tired and irritable they get,
the harder it can be to settle them for a nap.
It's also important to give baby a chance to settle down to sleep by himself. Some people believe that their baby will
be harmed if he cries, but most babies fuss or cry a little when first put to bed. It's important to give baby the
opportunity to work out for himself how to relax and go to sleep. Many babies will start thumb sucking or use a
dummy; others find a mobile hanging above the cot fascinating enough to stop crying and go to sleep.
It's vital that baby learns this skill of self-soothing, or else you and baby will be having interrupted nights for
what will seem like forever to the sleep deprived parent. Self-soothing is a skill, and like most skills,
it is learned through practice.
