Getting your child to sleep through the nights and take good naps should be a goal every parent has. A well rested parent is a better parent and a well rested child is much more fun to be around.

Newborns

Newborns have a lot on their plates. They are used to a quiet, dark, bubble, and suddenly they are thrust into a world where it is almost impossible to find quiet. For the first time in their lives they feel what it is like to be hungry. Before this they had a life line to a buffet that was open 24/7. With your newborn everything is new and you spend most of your time just getting them adjusted to the new world they are in. There isn't much of a routine at this point, although you can try to be consistent with some of the things you do.
