Establishing a consistent bedtime ritual; one that includes some variation on a bath, book, and bed, is the best way to get your toddlers to drift off to sleep and stay asleep. Following are more sleep strategies you can try. Remember: What works for one family may not work for you, so do what’s best for you and your toddler.Comforting sounds Use a sound machine with sounds like heartbeats, ocean, rain and white noise to help drown out surrounding sounds. Sleeping aids Keep soft toys and blankets, around the crib. Babies tend to talk and play with toys in their cribs; allowing parents some extra snooze time. Also, extra pacifiers stored close by the crib always come in handy.Bedtime scheduleNot all children go to sleep at 7 p.m. and wake up at 8 a.m. Study your child’s sleeping pattern and plan his/her sleeping schedule accordingly.
