It seems like getting your newborn to sleep during nap time is a struggle that all new moms go through. Here are a few tips to ensure that you and your baby are rested well:
A newborn baby takes naps for about 2 to 4 hours, with a total of 16 to 18 hours of sleep every day. We suggest that the new parents should also try to take naps when the baby is napping. That way, parents can also get some rest and feel fresh to spend time when the baby is awake.
A house can become a mess when a baby arrives. Taking care of the baby becomes the primary focus of every parent. We suggest skipping the household chores and asking for help – the family members and friends will understand why the house is a mess.
Instead of taking all responsibility, share the nighttime baby duties with your partner. That way, you both can get some sleep at night when the baby is awake or is unable to take naps.
Instead of having the baby’s crib in another room, we suggest placing the crib near the bed so that you can get up and tend to the baby when he/she wakes up at night. That makes it easier to return to bed and get back to sleep.
Stick to a regular sleep schedule and start incorporating the same for the newborn’s routine. That way, it will help both of you fall asleep faster and have a deep sleep.
