If necessary, after baby sleeps for 3-4 hours, wake baby up to have the breast milk.Teach baby to differ night and day. It is to support the introduction for sleeping schedule. In the morning, open the window in order to get the sunlight shine across the room or take baby outside to see the bright daylight and the active atmosphere surrounding. At night, turn off the light and create a silent dim atmosphere.Learn baby’s ‘sign language’. Naturally, baby will give you signal of what he needs through the ‘sign language’. For example, when hungry, he will move his mouth as if he suckling. His cries are also different when he’s hungry and when he wants his diaper changed.Prioritize the baby’s schedule.
