Warm milk, a strict routine and gentle rocking are the top three ways to get a baby to sleep, according to parents. In a survey looking into how little sleep new parents get, mums and dads revealed the tricks and tips they felt worked to send babies off to the land of nod.
New parents will get just four hours and 44 minutes of sleep a night during the first year of their baby's life, the survey found. But in the early months, one third of new mums and dads believed warm milk was the best remedy for settling a restless baby, while 32 percent found their child slept best when they were rocked to sleep in their arms.
