[QUOTE="Gulla, post: 3684238, member: 4272"] We have (almost) never made any effort to have the house or surroundings quiet for our kids. The baby is used to sleep in a very noisy environment (the womb) and in a normal household we have had no problems getting the babies to sleep even with a gaming group or two older brothers playing in the house. But it will of cource be different from baby to baby. What we have done to facilitate the sleeping though is that from around 1 month old we have had a rather rigid ritual for going to sleep. The same routine every time (food, change, hug, bed, sleep well). That seems to help a lot. We also started at the same time to make a special routine for "going to bed for the night" to mark it as a special going to bed. It seemed to work well, specially when we tried (more than half a year later) to get the kids to sleep all the night :) To quote a 2-week old mother i know: "It is amasing how fast you get a relaxed relationship with previously disgusting bodily fluids" ;) And a personal tip on changing diapers: Always have a towel under the kid big enough to lift up between the legs and place on the stomack of the kid. I have no experience with baby girls, but baby boys can and will spray urine all over in the few seconds they lie on their back and you look for a lotion or diaper or something. With the towel up between the legs, only the towel gets wet :D Håkon [/QUOTE]
