Tips

• On cold nights, ease your baby's transition into the crib by pre-warming the sheet with a hot water bottle. Be sure to remove it before putting your baby to bed!
• Don't be shy about singing your baby to sleep – babies don't mind if you're off-key! Record your voice so your baby can be comforted by it even when you're not around.
