Want to know the secret to an 8 hour sleep?
Check out my top 10 list - and get rid of the dark circles that have taken permanent residence under your eyes!

10. Feed your baby a bottle of formula for his last feeding (for Moms who are breastfeeding)
9. White Noise: Put the fan on in baby's room or buy a white noise machine
8. Swaddle your baby tightly if under 3 months to create a womb-like experience
7. Dress your baby in a Snooze Sack if over 3 months to provide comfort and warmth
6. Get rid of blankets that could tangle up around baby's face.
5. Clear the crib of overly plush stuffed animals - these could suffocate baby.
4. Set a nightly relaxation routine of bath, massage, story time, and cuddling with lights out before laying her down.
3. If baby falls asleep in your arms, ensure she is in deep sleep (post R.E.M) before placing her in her crib.
2. Remove all toys, that might distract baby from sleeping.
1. Be conistent with all of the above.
