*Practice separating during the day. Play games like peek-a-boo, hide-and-seek, etc.
*Make sure you're following an age-appropriate sleep schedule.
*Make sure your little one is comfortable and familiar with his/her sleep space and their sleep space is conducive to sleep.
*Implement a consistent, soothing bedtime routine.
*Create a simple goodbye/goodnight ritual.
*Comfort your child as needed, but stay calm and confident.
*Be careful about creating any new habits (or re-introducing any old habits) that you ultimately don't want to have.
*If your baby/toddler is old enough, consider giving them a safe transitional object (small teddy bear of lovie) to sleep with.
If your little one is not sleeping well, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at: [email protected]
