My nephew baby Tate is now 4 months old. I have taught him the skill of sleep since he reached the appropriate birth weight, which was about a month ago.
For the sceptics that do not think it is easy to get a 4 month old to sleep from 7pm – 7am, watch how very easy it is

Read the real life testimonials on Facebook or on this website from parents whom are now getting the sleep they deserve.
This week’s question comes from Tracey and she writes:“What is a normal amount of time to have a baby awake during the day so that they sleep better at night? My baby is two months old.”

This weeks question comes from Victoria:
At what age should I stop swaddling my baby? It is the only way she will fall asleep and stay asleep.
That is a great question Victoria and it can be a tricky one because I recommend that people swaddle newborns. I think its a great tool.
Today, our question comes from Crysta, and she writes, “Is it better to take the dummy (pacifier) away first, and then try to keep my son in his own bed? Or is it better to get him sleeping in his own bed, and then take the pacifier away?”
I love this question, Crysta. It’s one I get asked often, and it has to do with props. Many children have more than one sleep prop.

You want to be very careful and cautious about when you introduce solids to your baby. Theres a lot of evidence that suggests starting solids too early can lead to some allergies in the future. Read more
