While it may appear as though your toddler spends his days playing, he is actually working very hard and his life is far from stress-free. As he learns to walk, talk, and climb, he tests his physical strength and cerebral capacity. He's also falling down, banging into things, shocking himself, and injuring himself on a daily basis. And because your child does not yet understand how to roll with the punches or to forgive himself, he is continuously upset and angry with himself. All of this activity is certain to weary a toddler.
If you notice him becoming frustrated with his favorite pastimes or everyday jobs, he is most likely overtired and in need of restorative and peaceful sleep. Physical tiredness, excitement, and tension grow to the point when he loses awareness of being tired. Then, as a parent, it is up to you to assist him in determining how to stop and rest. You may assist him in transitioning from a busy, active, energetic day to a tranquil, quiet, and peaceful night by soothing him into sleep after supper with quiet activities. Coloring a picture, sitting down to watch a favorite yet peaceful video, reading books, singing, quiet bath time play, or singing lullabies together all assist your toddler in disconnecting and winding down. If this is done within the context of a consistent bedtime routine, your child will develop an association with these activities and find them soothing, and he will readily know when bedtime happens.
Additionally, it is critical to unwind with your toddler. If he observes you cleaning the kitchen, gardening outside, or engaging in other active activities in the evenings, he is likely to want to do the same, resulting in a difficult bedtime process for everyone concerned.

Congratulations! You may be pregnant or have recently given birth (and you are fortunate if you have the time to read this)! There is no greater sensation than that of having just given birth. Therefore, why do you not feel amazing all of the time?
Indeed, even the most pleasant occasions in life are fraught with stress. Everyone enjoys the excitement of having a baby. Almost from the moment of delivery, you've been inundated with company. If you're a first-time mother, hospitals don't offer much assistance or advise; they simply send you home with this new little creature and a slew of requests to understand. And newborns do not sleep well. At the very least, not long enough for you to catch up on some much-needed rest.
Add to it the hormonal changes occurring in your own body, and you have a recipe for stress. At times, you may believe you may never again obtain a full night's sleep. You probably won't until the infant establishes a routine!
To help you get through the first few weeks and months, here are a few recommendations for getting a little more sleep.
To begin, refrain from attempting to be a supermom. When the infant falls asleep, take a brief snooze yourself. Laundry and dishes can wait. You are not need to have an ideal home. There will be time for all of that; take a break whenever the opportunity presents itself.
If you have a helpful friend or relative, take advantage of their assistance for an afternoon. Grandma would almost certainly jump at the opportunity to have the baby exclusively for a few hours!
When you've put the baby to bed for the night, take a few moments to decompress and relax to increase your chances of going asleep. Take a lavender-scented bath; turn on some soothing music; and pamper yourself a little. Even without a new baby, it can be difficult to fall asleep immediately. There is a great deal to adjust to!
An example of a typical day and night
Bringing a new baby home entails a slew of new obligations and obstacles. Is it possible for new parents to have a typical day and night? Most likely not!
Bear in mind that the baby has just through a tremendous amount of change, and part of the process of bringing him home is his transfer from the womb to the outside world. Keep the baby near to you and wrap him in a blanket to keep him warm. If you're breastfeeding, this will require some adjustment time for both of you.
If your newborn is formula fed, he will require feedings every three to five hours. If you are breastfeeding, he will require more frequent feedings. At times, you may feel as though all you do during the day and night is nurse. You're likely to develop a greater sense of empathy for cows! And there will be a lot of diaper changes, particularly as you become acquainted with his schedule. His diaper will most likely need to be changed quickly after feeding, approximately every hour at first. Keep an eye out for updates.
You'll want to limit sponge baths to every few days until the umbilical chord falls off, but you'll want to wash the baby's bottom daily. Every day, wipe your baby's hands, face, neck, and bottom with a soft washcloth dampened with warm water. When the infant is ready for full baths, which will be in a few weeks, bathing daily will help avoid diaper rashes. However, keep in mind that excessive bathing may irritate his fragile skin. Therefore, determine what works best for your infant.
Those tiny finger and toenails will develop rapidly, and they will need to be clipped frequently to prevent the infant from scratching himself. Even at birth, the baby's nails might be lengthy and attached high on the nail bed. Gently separate the fingerpad from the nail and clip it using a baby nail clipper. You may want to perform this while the baby is napping to prevent him from yanking those tiny fingers and toes away!
During the first month, at the very least, get used to being busy 24 hours a day. You will be feeding and changing diapers around the clock, so get as much assistance as possible to provide yourself some peace.
