We all sleep better when we are reminded of home. To help extend your baby's natural sleep from birth to 4 months, try imitating the in utero effect as suggested by Dr Harvey Karp. Some techniques that work quite effectively include swaddling, white noise, movement, and offering something to suck on. A great resource to learn more about these techniques is The Happiest Baby on the Block book or DVD.
