Re: infant and sleep issues
Ira, most days we do bathe her before bedtime. If you don't want to give her a bath every night, you could just give her a massage to calm her down and then change her into her sleeper. It's the consistency that indicates to them that it's bedtime. Also, if there's a night light where you change her, turn that on. Dim lights would also indicate it's time to sleep. With Izzah, I realized a nightlight kept her up longer, so I started making the room completely dark when I put her to bed. She usually falls asleep within minutes, and even if she stirs from sleep, since she can't see anything around, she goes right back to sleep.
