These are some of the main Things to keep in mind:

Sound and Compatibility ...

Here a few tricks you can do to help teach your baby that night time is sleep time. Sleep specialists recommends that at night time when mom or dad are feeding baby, they should make it a quiet, un-stimulating and short feeding period. Just use the time to relax and bond with your baby. When you feed your baby during the daytime, you can make it more fun. Showing baby that daytime is fun time, nighttime is sleepy time.
