5 Steps To Help Baby Sleep Well

Mark Twain once said, “I have never taken exercise except sleeping and resting.” While this is true for most of us (heh), it is especially true for sleeping babies. Sleep produces 3x the growth hormones for a baby's tiny body!!!

For new mothers, there is nothing more comforting than watching the baby sleeping. Not just because she doesn't have to put up with the crying --- it also creates relief for the mom, fully knowing that a sleeping baby equates to someone capable enough to provide comfort to a tiny newborn baby --- she's doing something right.

To help you get from fully awake baby to comfortable sleeping baby, here are a couple of tips:

1. Create a Bedtime Routine. Filipino babies clock in among lowest in sleep time compared to other Asian/Caucasian babies. Setting a nightly routine should help the baby realize that it's about time to sleep.

2. A Clean Baby = Baby Sleeping. A warm gentle bath right before sleep should help the sleeping baby from getting itchy at night, causing night time awakening.

3. A Relaxed Baby = Baby Sleeping. After drying the baby after the bath, lay the baby down on a flat surface and start giving downward strokes, from the chest, the arms, the legs. Touch Therapy has been proven to contribute to a baby's healthy growth.

4. A Dry Baby = Baby Sleeping. Put on a comfy diaper or lampin, some nice soft clean clothes on the baby. If the baby is dry during sleep, it may help prolong sleeping time.

5. Sing a lullaby, rock the baby, gentle/quiet time. Bond with the baby! Introduce bedtime stories or lullabies to help put the baby at ease just right before sleeping. Rock the baby gently to maybe help get to sleep. This may vary from parent-to-parent (or baby-to-baby) but overall, this 5th step is for getting the baby to go to sleep.

Follow these steps and notice how much longer you could watch the baby sleeping. Maybe even take pictures (without flash!) to keep for memories.

7 Tips You Can Apply for a Healthier You!
What you don't know can hurt you. BUT, what you know but don't do will hurt you more!


1. Everything should be done in moderation – eating, working, resting, playing, maintaining hobbies, socializing, and so on.


2. You should sleep for at least eight hours every night. A siesta in the afternoon, if possible, is also a good idea and certainly refreshing for your brain.

3. Exercise regularly. Go for a short run every morning. Do Yoga. Exercise your eyes regularly, especially if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Dance around! Do what you love!


4. Stop smoking.


5. Alcohol in moderation can actually be good for you. Going back to #1, everything should be done in moderation. This doesn't apply to #4 though.

6. These days, we all suffer from various degrees of stress. Reduce stress! Balancing work and family lives can be difficult, and financial and social difficulties can make life a struggle. Try to recognise when you are suffering from stress. Common symptoms include headaches, irritability, difficulty sleeping and poor concentration

7. Live. Laugh. Love.

Another day, another blessing

I'm really happy and transform into my usual upbeat mood when Friday comes. The thought that tomorrow would be a Saturday makes me more energetic. To tell you guys the truth, I love working when everyone else isn't working. Makes me feel... efficient?

Also, this is my 5th day of not exercising! Wohooo! Bad, bad bad!!!

Starting next week, I will exercise again without excuses so that my healthy living lifestyle would go on. It's just been a hell week because of several the several (blessings) projects that started.

Hope some of you could post comments on what you do to motivate yourselves to exercise :)
