Tv is helping my baby sleep?

Question

The past week, my 11 month old has been throwing crazy tantrums at bed and nap times. He cries and screams and tenses up and hits/kicks for up to 2 hours before falling asleep. And I noticed that he falls asleep better and faster when I have the tv on, in some cases almost in minutes. Is this normal and is it okay to get him to sleep this way?

Answer

Is he watching it? It’s not great for kids to watch TV right before they sleep, jr usually makes it harder for them to fall asleep and forms a bad habit. But it could just be the white noise he finds comforting. Try a book on tape, the radio or just a white noise maker.

Answer

I suggest a white nose machine instead! Maybe try calming down first with a book. I explain every single step for my son. "We're going to clean up our toys, change your diaper, read a book, then lie in your crib and take a nap" and repeat what you're going to do at every step. Helps reduce the surprise of it.

Answer

I agree w the white noise comments..I ise a fan n a white noise maker..same sound for sleep every time
If Im.fesperate I use Eric Carle Stories( Award winningcautjor ..Try The very Hungry Caterpillat or Papa Please Give Me The Moon or The very quiet cricket to mention a fee.There arendifferent readers on youtube but the one  we prefer is an older womans voice w  I believe a British accent.The very hungry Caterpillar is like 6:58::or close to that..Also an AMAZING sleep story app I'd Moshi Twighlight.U can listen for free to Sleepy Paws which has been a godsend ( I have 3 children all together in the house n one step so busy lives).We also love Waldos Washing machine which is different..more a white noise thing w nice huming / words.As long as ure not watching stuff w loud noises in the backround( example my SO used to think if he put on adult tv our son would sleep fadter) but I've read that our dreamstate is compromised bc our brains cant tell the difference between real n fake example scarry movies freak us out.Hope that helps.

Answer

Its probably just the background noise. Try a soft lighted white noise machine instead

Answer

Hey I know it’s probably not the best but my one year old has had a bedtime show since she was born. Now that she has a little sister, every night I hold them both in the rocker and they get to watch the “sleepy show” aka the golden girls (lol she
Loves it soooooo much) and after one episode she knows it’s bed time. It’s one of my favorite things to do with her ♥️ do what you gotta do!!

Answer

It’s probably not a good habit to start unfortunately 😕

Answer

My sister in law does 🤷🏻‍♀️
