Summary: Sleep problems are common in babies, but understanding and knowing how to deal with them enables parents to get a better night’s sleep for themselves, which in turn enables them to provide loving, patient and consistent care for their baby. Read this article to know what useful sleeping aids to try in order to help your baby sleep peacefully through the night.

• Sleeping Aids that emit sounds that comfort your baby such as the ‘Back to Sleep Slumber Bear’ can be really useful at the end of a sleep cycle. When the bear senses movement or noise, it emits familiar womb sounds such as the human heartbeat, white noise or gentle seas sounds that comfort your baby and help her to fall asleep again.
• To reduce the possibility of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) babies must always sleep on their backs. A sleep positioner prevents your baby from moving about too much or rolling over on to her tummy. The cocooning effect of the head cradle and sides remind her of the comfort and security of the womb. The sleep positioner also has a device that mimics the sound of the human heartbeat, which gives your baby the sensation that you are close by.
• If your baby wakes up during the night, having her dummy, pacifier, a favourite soft toy, blanket or a comforter close by offers familiarity and reassurance and can help her to drift back to sleep again. 
• The swaddling effect of a sleep wrap promotes a sense of security and restful sleep. Swaddling is an age-old technique, which has recently become standard care practice in many baby units. Medical studies show that swaddling helps newborn babies to fall sleep and to stay asleep longer; it also lowers the risk of SIDS.
• A baby sleeping bag is less restrictive than swaddling and offers a safe, warm and comfortable alternative to traditional bed covers that may be kicked off in the night. Your baby can be picked up in the sleeping bag for a feed and then settled back to sleep in her crib or cot with minimal disturbance.
