The main trick about getting your baby to sleep is to gradually remove sensitive triggers (i.e. bodily contact) that will wake him or will stress him out when they are suddenly removed. For example, start by avoiding eye contact. Then just stroke his belly, all the while saying, "go to sleep now, mommy's going downstairs, go to sleep". Then minimize even that contact and keep saying the same thing until you're at the door and closing the door. Your baby should be well on the way to sleep by then! hi great site.
