I'm a new parent. What is the best way to get my child to sleep through the night?

The best way to get your child to sleep through the night is to establish a consistent bedtime routine and stick to it each day. Establish a regular bedtime, including dimming lights and quiet activities such as reading or singing songs. Make sure your child has plenty of physical activity during the day so that they are tired at bedtime. Avoid screens for an hour before bed, and if necessary, use soothing music or lavender essential oil in their room to help them relax. Additionally, try not to be too strict with rules about going to bed early, and instead focus on teaching your child how to self-soothe and fall asleep independently.
