Avoid overtiredness from "summary" of The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night by Elizabeth Pantley
To help your baby sleep soundly through the night, it is crucial to prevent them from becoming overly tired. When a baby becomes overtired, they may struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep. Overtiredness can lead to frequent night wakings and difficulties in settling down for naps during the day. One way to avoid overtiredness is to pay attention to your baby's sleep cues. By recognizing when your baby is tired and responding promptly, you can help them get the rest they need before becoming overtired. Common sleep cues include rubbing their eyes, yawning, and becoming fussy or irritable. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine can also help prevent overtiredness. A calming bedtime routine signals to your baby that it is time to wind down and prepare for sleep. This routine can include activities such as a warm bath, gentle rocking or feeding, and reading a bedtime story. Additionally, ensuring that your baby naps regularly throughout the day can help prevent overtiredness at night. By providing opportunities for restorative naps, you can help your baby stay well-rested and better able to sleep through the night. It is important to create a sleep-friendly environment for your baby, with a comfortable and safe sleep space, appropriate room temperature, and minimal distractions. A soothing and consistent sleep environment can support your baby in falling and staying asleep. By being attentive to your baby's sleep cues, establishing a calming bedtime routine, prioritizing regular naps, and creating a sleep-friendly environment, you can help prevent overtiredness and support your baby in developing healthy sleep habits.
