Get an Overtired Baby to Sleep





Get an Overtired Baby to Sleep - Dim the lights in all the rooms where you will put your baby to sleep. Make the lights as dark as possible while still leaving enough light to see by to help him regain his sleepy state.

Light candles in the rooms, being very careful to put them in safe, high locations out of your baby's reach and where they cannot be knocked over or are not near any items that can catch fire easily, such as curtains.

Turn the heat or air conditioner to a comfortable temperature. Keeping the rooms a little warm will help your baby get sleepy again.

Fill the bathtub with warm water, checking the temperature before putting your child in the water.

Pour two to four drops of lavender essential oil into the water, and mix with your hands. Lavender has a calming scent to soothe babies out of being cranky and into being sleepy.

If you miss your baby's regular bedtime, you may find that she moves from acting tired to seeming like she is wide awake again. However, you will soon notice that your child is actually overtired, feeling cranky, short-tempered and generally unhappy. Although the best way to avoid this is to put her to bed at the first sign of sleepy cues, such as eye rubbing and yawning, you can learn to soothe your baby into sleep even after she is already overtired by creating a calming and comforting sleep environment that lets her body and mind relax again. - by eHow
