It is always happy to have a new baby for new young parents. but having lack of sleep is a big problem, which new parents face. Luckily there are some tips to help new parents to have enough sleep when the new baby comes. Actually , with a new baby you will never get an over abundance sleep. But I hope these tips will help you at least get enough sleep to keep sanity.
1. Take turns: When the newborn baby starts both parents wake up, though only one attends to the baby. In the first couple of months both parents might get up each time the baby cries. This may lead to lack of sleep for both parents. The best idea is to make a plane of who will get up when the baby cries to comfort the baby. Actually, taking turns is a good option and will help everyone get just a little more sleep.
2. Have a nap with your baby: This will give much needed sleep. this nap time can be mornings, afternoons or early evenings. You may feel an extra strength after your nap to care for your baby and do other house work.
3. Get help from others: These others can be your parents, siblings, friends or neighbors. Definitely, they may like to help you. Just hand over your baby in their loving hands and have enough sleep till you feel satisfaction.
4. Feed your baby before you sleep: Most of the babies wake during the night because they are hungry. So if you feed your baby late before you go to bed. Your baby will sleep until early morning, if it is not hungry. This will allow you to get some continuous sleep.
5. Change your baby's diaper before you go to sleep: All babies wake during the night when their diaper is full and wet also. If your baby is in a new dry diaper your baby will sleep continuously and let you have enough sleep.
6. Arrange a babysitter: If you are able to pay for a babysitter just arrange a babysitter for one or two hour once a day or once a week. Have a nap when your baby is being cared by the babysitter.
Specially, new fathers must understand that a new mother should have enough sleep to regain her energy. A sleepy mother can not care for her baby well. Having enough sleep is a must. so select a suitable method and have enough sleep.
