Here are some essential things you’ll need to do on the day we start together to ensure success for our night 1!

• If napping, try not to skip the nap today, and ensure the nap doesn’t go past 3 PM.
• Try to get rest yourself!
• Think about easy/ takeout dinner/ delivery if possible (who knows if you’ll have time to cook). Make it easy on yourself!
• You should prepare to go to bed early as sleep don’t know how many times baby will wake up and a rested mama and papa can deal with wakes better 🙂

• Purchase an OK to Wake Clock. I highly recommend the Hatch Baby Rest-it’s incredible!
• Blackout curtains/garbage bags for the window (Gro blinds (or the Amazon knock off) are good too and garbage bags if baby can’t reach and touch them)
• Remove bed toys/ toys from the room other than stuffed animals
• Purchase a set of small rewards (like stickers for a sticker chart) and more significant rewards for staying in bed overnight (chocolate, dollar store toys)
• Make sure everyone’s cell phones are charged (for communication during the process)
