How do I get a baby to sleep during the night?

as my two have very little space between them, I made sure I had a good bedtime routine in place so as to avoid an unhappy baby and an unhappy older baby!

I used a few drops of lavender essential oil in a burner in their room whilst I bathed them in a lavender infused, warm bath. I blew the candle out before taking them into their room. I then gave each of them a gentle massage as I creamed their skin, then finally, a warm bottle when they were put in their cots. I also made sure I kept all noise and light to a minimum.

It does get easier. It's just one of those phases to be worked through. Good luck!
