It is always a struggle to put the kids to sleep. But not always if some essential things are taken care of.
Fill their tummy:
A kid cannot sleep if he/she is hungry or half-filled. Make sure to give solid food/ milk before their sleep time.
Check the diaper:
Check and change the diaper before sleep time to make them comfortable and get relaxed sleep.
Do not push them:
It is not easily possible to fix a time for their sleep. Change the environment to sleep mode by switching off the TV, lights, and obviously mobile phones.
Pampering:
Some kids need pampering like they want to sleep on mom/dad, or they want to lie with them to get warmth and comfort.
Make them tired:
Yes! Play with them and keep them engaged. This will increase their desire to eat and sleep soon.
Night watch:
Most of the kids wake up once or twice during their sleep. It is necessary to know their wake-up time and give milk/solids to get them to sleep again. Try not to make them fully awake and cry. Some kids wake up just for water.
Thumb Sucking:
Some kids might eventually develop a habit of thumb sucking when they need soothing or going to sleep. Make sure to release their thumb after their sleep.
*All the above-mentioned points are from personal experience!
