When I had my first two children I wish I had known to stick to a bed time routine as early as possible with a baby, I would stay up as late as I could to give my first two their "bedtime bottle" this would often result on me getting to bed at 1am!
With my youngest I gave her her bottle in the early evening around about 7pm and then I would pop her in her cot, this worked miracles and I actually got a fantastic sleep.
I wish i had also known not to use heavy blankets, a sleep bag is perfect.
Bath and quiet time is also another important tip that worked for my youngest that I wish I had known back when my first two were little. It is definitely key to a more relaxed sleep.
Sleep tip 2 - when baby had a cold I'd put a pan of hot water in her room with a few drops of olbas oil in it so that baby could breathe better at night.
