Bath time is the most important part to getting a baby to sleep the whole night through. They want to feel nice and clean when they hit the crib for a nights rest. A warm bath also helps them be comfortable with wearing a diaper or even get them to get tired afterwards. Older Kids that play in water at the lake or beach have good night's sleep, because it tires them out.

When my kids were infants, we use to put a night light for the baby to sleep better. They also like hearing music or sounds of nature.

Gas is a major problem for babies, because bottles of milk have tons of gas that is inhaled when they drink. This causes a gas bubble in the stomach and makes the infant or baby uncomfortable. You can burp them after each feeding and once before bed to make sure their isn't anymore gas.
