Ive been meaning to do a blog on sleep and young children for a while. My problem - its a really, really involved topic, and would make a really, really long blog post. And those of you Carolina Kids parents who need it most are probably WAY too tired to get through it without falling asleep facedown on your computer. Instead, I thought I would refer you to an absolutely terrific website about sleep issues and young children. Its troublesometots/ Although the woman who put it together has no medical training, most of what I read on this site is the same advice you would get from us about your sleepless nights. The difference is, she is a much better writer than I am! The basics are easy: (1) introduce a consistent bedtime routine by 3-6 months (2) put your baby to bed awake starting at 3-6 months of age (3) remember that feeding, cuddling, or rocking babies until they fall asleep can create a dependence that will make your baby a more insecure sleeper, and will often cause them to seek reassurance from you every time they wake at night. Its a great website! Sweet dreams, Dr. Nechyba Carolina Kids Pediatrics
