LEARNING TO SLEEP You may think that going to sleep is something that just happens automatically, and that there is no skill involved in this activity. It is true that our bodies and brains are ultimately responsible for regulating our states of sleep and wakefulness. But nevertheless, your baby needs to acquire several important skills before he can manage the night without help. He needs to learn about going to sleep alone and, once asleep, how to get himself from light sleep into deep sleep without fully awakening. These skills take time to develop and the route to sleeping through the night is not always smooth. Expect temporary glitches in even the most settled routines, and remember the three R's - Routine, Regularity and Reassurance - to help your baby become an expert sleeper.

Food Glorious Food! Six months is when you are advised to start weaning and it's time for something a bit more substantial than milk.
