50+ Baby Sleep Tips From Real Moms

Baby sleep tips can make a huge impact on the day to day happiness of a family. There is no one size sleep method that fits all because every baby and every family is different, which is why I wanted to compile a variety of sleep posts from around the web for you.

Honestly, I love them all, and I think they are so helpful for anyone who wants a well sleeping baby or toddler. On this page you will find 36 articles (each containing well over 3 tips each) from moms who’ve been there. Whatever your sleep philosophy, there is something for everyone. Enjoy and sleep well, friends!

    I do trust all the concepts you have presented for your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too quick for novices. Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

      My Grace doesn’t want to sleep well. The last six months have merged into one nightmare: the child wakes up every hour and a half and starts screaming.
      I have tried many things, but nothing helps.
      I remembered that a month ago, our friends tried the Shema sleep tracker for their child. And after a couple of weeks, the baby began to get better sleep. We decided to try it too, after 6-7 days, the result began to appear. It turns out that we did a lot of things wrong, constantly rocking our princess in our arms. The app has cool tips for why the baby is not sleeping now or when it can be put to bed. The regime began to improve, finally we started to get enough sleep 😊

    We tried the sleep tracker Shema and really very convenient and useful thing. We liked melody the most.

    OMG, I try this app too!) I really like their music base, especially sounds for sleep. We use them every day before sleep ( my baby girl is 2,5 months old).
    Cool app- nothing to say more, recommend it !)

Here’s what real moms are saying about Military Wife and Mom…

Ashlee Overdick

Love the listening course and the routine card printables and listening workbook so far. Listening has been our biggest challenge lately. My son was flat out just ignoring our voices. I started implementing the strategies yesterday and it was such smooth sailing all day long. Not only that, but the empathy statements and “turning a no into a yes” actually had my three year old saying “okay, mom” happily and complying right away without fighting or tears, by the end of the day! And it has worked wonders for my mood and frustration level when the arguing and tears are not averted. Trying to keep the 5:1 ratio has made me realize what a bad habit I’d fallen into. It becomes so easy to give commands and warnings and issue no’s, that you forget to take notice of the good! I feel so much better, as a mom, now that I’m intentionally encouraging my kid for his strengths. Thank you so much!

I have been reading your blog now for a few months and I really respect your advice and ideas. I also signed up for your “better listening” email series and have been learning a ton and working on implementing your advice with my 21 month & 3 1/2 year olds. They are responding well and I am looking particularly forward to working through these strategies with my youngest. He is as sharp as a tack and just coming into his own now. These tools are great and it’s awesome to have been equipped with  them right as he’s coming into the defiance stage. I feel much more confident in my ability to manage the challenges of this stage now. Thank you!

I picked up these routine cards this week from The Military Wife and Mom because my 3 year old tends to put up a fight when getting ready to leave the house, or go to bed. Or eat a meal. Or start her day. These made a HUGE difference in like one day.

Instead of reminding and counting down and trying to avoid meltdowns, last night we sang the Olaf song as she cheerfully picked out her Olaf underwear and put them on.

This morning she pumped her fist and said, “the last one is ‘comb hair!’” before she came into the bathroom and started brushing her own hair. I’m sold! I truly love these and think any toddler mom could benefit!

I’m loving receiving your emails. What strategies you suggest are common knowledge, but having the time to sit back and think about them is another thing.  I have used the 2 choices a lot this week. It’s amazing how it can work. Our power struggles have decreased, kids have been getting along together better. I know it has been only a week, but it feels like a massive change. I wish I had have signed up for emails 3 weeks ago and used the strategies on their school holidays lol.

Right before I gave up, I came across your site from Pinterest. My heart sunk and I signed up for your daily email list of listening. Every morning I received an email from you before I got out of the bed for the day, which couldn’t have been more perfect and encouraging to start the days. I immediately put your advice in action. My husband and I saw a different child within minutes. It’s been a few weeks since I started and the list could go on! I’m really grateful I came across your site! It changed my relationship 180°. Thank you said so much! I’ve already shared your link with my family and friends! I think every parent needs to read this!

Oh my goodness. I needed this so much. I stumbled upon another post of yours on Pinterest, and it lead me here. My 2 year is soooo strong willed. This had me in tears because finally someone gets it! Without wanting to admit it… I needed some help. Thank you so much for putting this out there.

I am so glad I came across your blog. This really opened my eyes as to why my nearly 2 year-old son will not listen. I was reaching my limit with him not listening, and the techniques you share here are exactly what I need.

A quick thank you while my 15 month old son is sleeping. So glad I found you on my motherhood journey.  After 17 years of being childless (but envisioning a future life with a calm and peaceful soul), I gave birth at 43 to a larger-than-life, highly spirited, vocal baby whom I couldn’t relate to. Everyday has been a challenge to meet his ever increasing needs.  Your guidance has helped organize me and prepare me mentally more than any other blog or support group, thank you.
