Watch video on - How to put your baby to sleep?

• If you’re finding it difficult to settle your baby in the evenings, following a night-time routine may help him/her to understand that sleep is on its way. An example routine could be to feed the baby, bathe them, put them in the sleepsuit, read a favourite story, then put them in the cot while drowsy but still awake.
• Following a routine will give you and your baby time to bond and wind down at the day's end. Babies love predictability, so doing the same thing every day will comfort your little one, as well as gradually help him/her to understand when to go to sleep.

If your baby frequently suffers from diaper rashes, then they might have sensitive skin. To ensure their bum stays rash-free, you can try using cloth diapers. Made from natural fabrics, cloth diapers are gentle on your baby's skin while effectively absorbing moisture. Try Mylo Baby Cloth Diapers , which:

• Prevent rashes.
• Last up to 5 hours.
• Come with 6 layered insert pads.
• Are reusable & washable up to 300 times.

• Caring for your baby has probably taken up all your time and energy since their birth.
• But by now, you may be forming a routine with your little one and feel more prepared to reclaim parts of your old life.
• Perhaps you've been missing the responsibility and routine of work or just the simple pleasure of an adult conversation.
• Make sure you take a proper breather at least once a week to relax and focus on yourself. If you can, try to find half an hour of 'me time' each day.
• You can also go out for a coffee or walk in the park while your baby sleeps. It can do wonders to refresh you and find your balance.

• Despite our best efforts to help our little ones to drift off, all parents get it wrong now and again.
• You could alternate going-to-bed activities with your partner (you do the bath, your partner reads the story, and so on).
• Or, to give each of you a regular night off, why not take turns carrying out the whole routine?

Tummy Time Peek-a-Boo: Play peek-a-boo while your baby is on his/her tummy. Cover your face with your hands. Surprise the baby when you appear again. When you reappear, say his/her name and give a wide smile. This activity helps your baby become playful while improving core strength during Tummy Time.
