Sleep is essential for well-being, both for babies and moms. However, it is often one of the biggest challenges during the first months of a baby’s life. Finding a sleep routine that works for the whole family may take time, patience, and a few adjustments.
In this guide, we will share practical tips to help your baby sleep longer and more peacefully, while also ensuring that you, mom, can enjoy restorative sleep.
1. Establish a regular bedtime routine
Create a calming ritual each evening to signal to your baby that it’s time to sleep. A warm bath, a lullaby, or a bedtime story will help your baby relax and fall asleep more easily.
2. Create a conducive sleep environment
Ensure that your baby’s room is dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. Use blackout curtains and white noise if necessary to minimize disruptions.
3. Encourage self-soothing
Teach your baby to fall asleep independently by placing them in their crib when they are drowsy but still awake. This will help them better manage nighttime awakenings and fall back asleep more easily without assistance.
