Take care of yourself, too

Remember the importance of self-care. If your baby is waking up at night, you will be, too. But if everyone's missing out on sleep, the situation only worsens.

Talk with your spouse, another family member or a friend about sharing late-night duties. Some people alternate nights, so at least one person gets a good night's sleep. Others split the duties involved. Still others give the baby a few minutes to calm down on its own.

The important thing to remember is that different things work for different people. And if you work as a team, everyone benefits (and even gets some sleep along the way!).
