Parenting

making a greater demand for quiet. something is up, somewhere. that baby is being woken before its time, or other things are frustrating her and this is where she is taking it out instead of discussing the real issue.

i perused articles. every article says quiet, cool, dark environment for sleep. yes, regular noise around the house is ok, as long as they are quiet. a flushed toilet by the room can be the one to trigger awake, but reality, we have to use the bathroom.

but something is up somewhere. i would be into finding out what is truly stressing her. or pay attention if the baby isnt getting the environment for the structured, consistent naps.

the baby sleeps at NIGHT in a QUIET house. we are not concerned that is going to screw up the ability to sleep the rest of the babies life. no one is making noise at night and it is a much longer period of sleep. so it makes absolutely no sense at all to suggest a quiet environment for naptime is unhealthy.

with consistent, adequate naps, the baby will go down easier for a long sleep at night. it is important. if a baby does not get enough sleep in the day, is overtired, is over stimulated and fussy by bedtime, it does not result in a child that conks out for the night. the opposite. the baby has a poor night of sleep.
