This not only helps your baby but also make it easier for you to drift back to sleep. I think it helped me more than the baby.

1.KEEP A CALM ATMOSPHERE

Research says a dim red light has calming effects that help you sleep. And, you definitely want to avoid any blue light in your room at night.

Nobody wants to get out of the bed in the middle of the night. So make sure you have everything you need by your side.
