Every child is different when it comes to sleep patterns. Some sleep all night with no problems, others constantly wake up and cry for their parents. It can be a matter of trial and error to find the right technique or nightly ritual that will get your child to sleep through the night. There a many tips and tricks out there so here a few a which I thought might help you.
Children eventually learn to sleep on their own naturally. It’s not like you wake up crying for mommy now is it 
. What we’re trying to do here is speed up that natural process so nobody goes crazy from lack of sleep. The trick is to create the best environment possible for the little one.
Most people assume that the house needs to be totally quiet and to some degree this is correct but a newborn baby has been sleeping in a noisy womb for the past nine months. When the mother was out and about, socializing or shopping, all those noises were filtering through to the unborn child.
So, when putting your baby down to sleep try to get some ambient white noise around to make them feel comfortable. Of course, sudden loud noises will wake the baby so keep these to a minimum if possible. Background chatter and other soothing noises will help the baby go off to sleep.
There are some products that are designed to create a soothing audio environment which can be quite effective, audio CD’s being the most common method. It’s not necessary to do this as leaving the nursery door ajar will allow noises to filter in. If your baby falls asleep during company don’t put them in the quiet nursery straight away but leave them with you instead.
All you are doing here is teaching the baby to fall asleep naturally on their own. Humming can also help if they are awoken suddenly during the night by a loud noise. Having a humidifier or fan in the baby’s room help as well as they both these devices create white noise that the baby will find soothing.
Don’t over complicate things. Simply leave the door ajar or let your baby fall asleep in the company of others as, contrary to popular belief, getting your baby to sleep in a silent environment may be the most difficult option.
