The more they sleep, the more they sleep.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that if you keep your baby up more during the day that she will sleep better or longer at night. The opposite is true… Let your baby have nice, long, full naps during the day. The more she conks out during the daytime, the more easily she’ll settle down at night and drift into longer periods of sleep.
Remember – your baby is doing a LOT more than you while she sleeps! She’s not just restoring her energy for the next day, or healing up… She’s actually growing and developing! Even sleep is exhausting work for babies!
How about getting your toddler to sleep longer? He’s driving me crazy!
