How to put your baby to sleep: The Reality

Trying to get a baby to sleep is an example of advice given with the best of intentions but it doesn’t stack up against reality.

1. Professional Advice - Choose a natural time to start your bedtime routine 1. Reality - Accept the fact that from 6PM onwards your baby will not want to be put down 2. Professional Advice - Don't change your baby unless they need it 2. Reality - They need it 3. Professional Advice - Dim the lights and speak softly so that they learn the difference between night and day 3. Reality - Stage whisper "$#*! that's where the pacifier went" and continue hobbling as you rick the baby to sleep 4. Professional Advice - Sleep when the baby sleeps 4. Reality - Wake up every ten minutes to check if your baby is still breathing because you have an unhealthy fear of SIDs

I admit to putting this together while having a sleeping baby on my lap because apparently thats the best place to sleep.
