Get Baby To Sleep

If you always
put your child to sleep by holding him, or allowing him to use a pacifier,
you create a sleep association with these things. Then, when your
child wakes up in the middle of then night, he can’t go back to sleep
on his own because he is unable to recreate his sleeping environment
without you: he needs you to feed him or rock him in order to sleep.
As you begin to
try and get your child to sleep on his own, you should introduce items
into his sleeping routine that he can sleep with, such as a particular
blanket or a stuffed animal. What this will do is create associations
for your child with these items for sleep. Then, when he awakes in
the middle of the night, he will be able to recreate a sleeping environment
without your assistance by grabbing his stuffed animal, etc. It can
also be beneficial to introduce “transitional items” into
your baby’s bedtime routine: Allow him to have his stuffed animal
or blanket with him during a final feeding and before-bedtime activities,
and allow him to take these things with him to bed.
Is Your Toddler a Fussy Eater?
As babies grow into toddlers and begin eating table food, they often times turn into picker eaters. It isn?t unusual for mealtime to turn into a fight with toddlers because they don?t want to eat their dinner. It’s easy to want to just avoid the fight and give them what they want, especially if you’re worn out from a long day.
Trust me on this one, if you don’t stand your ground now you’ll either wind up cooking two separate meals or eating pizza or corn dogs every night of the week 
These tips will help you cope with your toddler?s fussy eating…
