"Are You At Your Wits End Trying To Get Your Baby To Sleep Through The Night?"

|
The moment of welcoming a new baby into the family is one of the greatest emotional ‘highs’ that any person will ever experience. Of that there can be little doubt.
It is a moment not only of great excitement and wonderment, but also one of relief that both mother and baby are safe, healthy and well.
It is a time of unbelievable anticipation too, looking down on a brand new person, and wondering what life holds in store for them.
And then baby starts crying and you know in an instant that, whatever life holds in store for them, it will never, ever be the same for you again!
Alongside the massive enjoyment and pleasure that baby will bring into your life you can be 100% certain that there will be some troubles and worries too, and now is as good a time as any to accept that fact and to start dealing with it! |
The main problem is that nothing in life teaches you how to be a parent, or how to deal with a new baby.
And, unfortunately, the only person who can ever tell you exactly what it is that baby want at any given moment of the day, that is, baby themselves, well, they can’t tell you!
Or at least, they can’t tell you in any language that you can understand and that will, at times, be immensely frustrating for any new parent.
And, in exactly the same way, it is immensely frustrating for baby too – they are doing their best to communicate exactly what it is that they want but you just don’t get it!
It is often said that being a parent is the hardest thing in the world to do and, whilst I do not know exactly how true this is, raising a baby is definitely a sometimes difficult (but nevertheless wonderful) journey.
Part of the problem is that many new parents, with little real ‘training’ in how to look after and care for a newly born baby will often tend to treat them as miniature adults, albeit without realizing that they are doing so.
But the fact is that babies are not junior adults at all.
In fact, there is absolutely nothing about a new baby that is anything even remotely like an adult, and yet new parents often do not seem to see this.
So, the purpose of this book is to try to highlight some of your new baby’s specific needs and wants, especially as they relate to the mystical art form that is known as getting baby to sleep!
Now, the first point I should like to make is that, whilst they are definitely not the same as adults, your baby is a person.
People of all ages are different from one another and your new baby is no exception to this general rule.
Some babies seem to be smiling all of the time, whilst others appear to do very little but cry incessantly.
Some babies are great sleepers, whilst others will fight sleep with every muscle, nerve and sinew in their body.
So, please understand that not everything that is written in a book like this will necessarily apply to your or your baby, and that you should never allow yourself to become too concerned if what you are seeing in real life does not ‘match’ exactly what you read on the written page. Please remember that one fact – all people are different, and so are babies!
