Tips for those Middle-of-the-Night Wake-Ups!

We all know that waking up in the middle of the night is part of motherhood.  Since we know it’s going to happen, at least for a little while, here are some tips to help prepare for it and have things go as smoothly as possible.

1.  baby bottle  If your little one is on formula, have the formula measured and in the bottle ready to go. When they wake up, add hot and cold water to the right temperature and you’re ready for the feeding.

2.   Crib  We’ve mentioned it before…but it’s worth mentioning again…layer the crib or bed with waterproof pads and sheets. If your little one has wet through, pull away the top sheet and pad and you have another dry sheet underneath all ready for them! No more changing sheets in the middle of the night! 

3.    Duck Nite Lite   Stock up on night-light bulbs. If your little one wakes up in the middle of the night and their comforting night-light has gone out, they may get scared and start crying.  Having extra light bulbs ready to go will help to quiet and comfort them quickly.

4.   Sippy cup  Keep water in a sippy cup in their crib or within reach. Little ones get thirsty in the middle of the night and having a full sippy cup of water handy will help keep spills to a minimum when they reach for their water.

5.      White Blanket   Stock up on their favorite blanket. If your little one has a favorite, can’t-sleep-without blanket, you may want to keep a couple more on-hand. If one is in the wash or just not within reach, you can reach for another to give your little one that extra comfort they want.

Baby Soft

December 11, 2008 at 11:04 am · Filed under Baby Blankets, Gift Ideas, Gift Sets, Infant Clothing ·Tagged , , , , ,

When we think of babies we can’t help but think of something so soft and pure.  We know there is nothing as ’soft as a baby’s bottom’! If you find your little’s one skin isn’t as soft as it seems like it should be or you’re noticing rough spots, here are some ideas. If any of you readers have some ideas of your own please share them with us!

  1. Extended bath time can remove the natural oils. Try to alternate bath times so you have some shorter times in the bathtub.
  2. Keep bath night to every other night, if possible.
  3. Once you try your little one off, put on a diaper and wait a few minutes before applying lotion. The lotion will be absorbed and last longer once the water evaporates.
  4. A humidifier will help keep moisture in the air while your little one sleeps
  5. When possible, apply lotion throughout the day. You don’t have to just wait until bedtime.

You can wrap your baby in the softness of a ‘Precious As Can Be’ baby blanket or a luxurious terry cotton bath robe whether your waiting to apply more baby lotion or just wanting to snuggle your little one in comfort!
