BABY SLEEP HELPS

Getting your baby to catch some zzz's in those first few months can be the biggest game changer for you and your little one. I hope my tips are helpful to you in those precious times. 🤍

01 . When Baby is born, don’t be concerned if they sleep a LOT! Newborns sleep up to 18-20 hours per day within the first month.

02 . Where should you start? Begin a relaxed bedtime routine from Day 1! Babies thrive on understanding our social cues and love knowing what's to come. Open blinds/shades and keep lights on during the day. Turn down lights and decrease noise and stimulation to cue bedtime.

03. Babies 0-3 months often can't stay awake longer than 45-60 minutes at a time. Watch for sleep cues like yawning, rooting, or rubbing/scratching of the face to signal it's time for another nap. Don’t wait for baby to become overtired.

04. I loved keeping a general pattern/schedule and felt it helped put us both in a good daily routine.

#2 Baby Eats, 

#3 Baby has an awake/play period (shorter for newborns and lengthens with age)

#4 Baby goes for nap or bedtime. 

*Before bedtime add a feeding in to help them sleep through the night.

05. By 8 weeks old, babies can sleep in longer stretches, possibly 4-6 hours, in between feedings (Yay for more sleep!).

06. Set the stage for sleep! Babies love a cool (68-72 degrees), dark room to nap in, swaddled up, with white noise continuously running to block out unsolicited noises.
