Sleep Training Your Baby

05 May 2023

Here are some tips for sleep training your baby:

Create a consistent bedtime routine: Establish a consistent bedtime routine that includes activities like a bath, storytime, and singing lullabies. This will signal to your baby that it's time to wind down and get ready for sleep.

Put your baby to bed when drowsy but still awake: This will help your baby learn to fall asleep on their own. If you always put your baby to sleep while they're already asleep, they'll struggle to fall back asleep when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Gradually extend the time between feedings: If your baby wakes up frequently during the night to feed, try gradually extending the time between feedings by a few minutes each night. This will help your baby learn to sleep for longer stretches of time.

Use a consistent sleep environment: Your baby's sleep environment should be consistent each night. This means keeping the room dark and quiet, using the same crib or bassinet, and dressing your baby in comfortable sleepwear.

Use a soothing bedtime routine: If your baby wakes up in the middle of the night, use a soothing bedtime routine to help them fall back asleep. This might include rocking them or singing.
