It is not difficult to improve sleep for babies at toddler, help children form healthy sleeping habits
Let your child choose activities before bedtime
As a toddler, your baby is looking for ways to assert control over some of her activities. She doesn't want to be reminded by anyone to do this, not to do that. Give your child a choice of pre-bed activities. The trick here is to limit the options. "Do you want to wear this pajama or this shirt?", "Do you want this book, or should I get the other one?", Or "Do you want to go to bed now, or in 10 minutes?" Your baby will be very happy because he is the decision maker and ready to climb to bed with a comfortable mentality.
Practice pre-bed habits
When your baby is tired, write down the time and that's the time to start her bedtime. To improve your baby's sleep it is very important to get the right sleep. Talk to your child about bedtime habits like snacks, drinking milk, brushing teeth, washing hands and feet and going to bed, reading stories and covering up a blanket and sleeping with eyes closed. In the process of forming this habit, make sure that you keep notes to know which activities are suitable for your baby, which is not. You know, there's no universal formula that applies to every mother and one person's experience may not work for another.
Encourage your child to sleep on their own
At this age, you should begin to practice baby sleeping alone or arrange for a private corner in the same room with parents if you want. Put your baby in bed or crib while he's awake. This will help your baby learn to fall asleep on his own. If your baby cries, you can come back to explain to him, comfort him a bit so he can calm down and then leave him alone. If your baby cries again, wait about 5 minutes before entering. Each time you repeat this process, intentionally extend your absence a little more. This is similar to the tear-free night practice method that mothers often use in the previous period.
