It's a week before my son goes back to school. I'll admit I didn't keep track of his sleeping routine because it was the summer August has approached so quickly and this month is going by fast. Moms do y'all have any suggestions as to how to get him back in the groove of a good sleeping routine without a lot of fussing?

@casstaylor0421, Okay! I'll try that because I usually wake him up early and have him take a lavender/camomile bath around 8:30 so he'll relax and go to sleep but it seems that doesn't work anymore.

I'm in the same situation. My girls start back Wednesday and i just started tonight. August just went by so fast i didn't realize it was already time for school. I don't know if this will work for you but i just woke them up early and had them playing outside all day so that by 9 they were tired enough to actually want to go to bed.
#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep!

@casstaylor0421, it's been working pretty well actually! I still give him a soothing bath every night and put lavender lotion on him but him playing outside pretty much does the trick. Thank you!
