Bedtime tips from nanny to the stars

Celeb nanny Dee Rule, who’s wrapping up her new book The Baby Schedule Ruler, says consistent daily routines (baths especially) along with patience, persistence, love and imagination are keys to getting a little one to sleep through the night. Here, she shares her top tips for bedtime bliss:

-- Get your newborn on a routine early: This is a huge key to success. A routine schedule – say, dinner, bath, reading and lights out -- and persistence will send a clear message to the toddler or child: It's sleep time.

--Take care of yourself: Parents can feel less stress by doing what they love. The infant or child will pick up or feel if you're depressed or down. They'll communicate frustration with excessive cries.

--Swaddling: This can be a godsend for many a tiny wiggler.
