The Sweet Science of Baby's Sleep: Tips for a Restful Night
Baby sleep can be a mystery, but understanding it makes a big difference in getting the rest everyone needs.
Why Baby Sleep Matters
Sleep is key to a baby’s growth and brain development. Newborns may sleep up to 17 hours a day, though in short bursts. As they grow, sleep becomes more consistent, with longer stretches at night.
Creating a Cozy Sleep Environment
A calm, comfortable space helps babies sleep better. Here’s how:
- Routine: A bedtime routine, like a bath and lullaby, signals it’s time to sleep.
- Cool Room: Keep the room between 68-72°F (20-22°C).
- Dim Lights: Lower lighting an hour before bed to boost sleep hormones.
Understanding Sleep Cycles
Babies have shorter sleep cycles—about 50 minutes. Waking between cycles is normal, and they’ll learn to resettle with time.
Safe Sleep Practices
Always put your baby on their back to sleep, on a firm mattress with no loose bedding. This reduces SIDS risk.
Dealing with Sleep Regressions
Sleep regressions, caused by growth or teething, are common. Stick to your routine; they usually pass in a few weeks.
Final Thoughts
Every baby is different. Trust your instincts, stay consistent, and know that better sleep is ahead!
