Monitor your baby’s sleep patterns 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 better, it is essential to pay attention to their sleep patterns. By monitoring your baby's sleep habits, you can identify any patterns or issues that may be affecting their sleep. This includes noting when they go to sleep, how long they sleep for, and when they wake up. Keeping a sleep diary can be helpful in tracking these patterns and identifying any trends that may need to be addressed. One important aspect of monitoring your baby's sleep is being aware of their sleep cues. These cues can include yawning, rubbing their eyes, or becoming fussy. By recognizing these cues, you can help your baby settle down for sleep before they become overtired. This can make it easier for them to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. Another key part of monitoring your baby's sleep is establishing a bedtime routine. A consistent bedtime routine can help signal to your baby that it is time to go to sleep. This routine can include activities like a warm bath, reading a bedtime story, or gentle rocking. By following the same routine each night, your baby will learn to associate these activities with bedtime, making it easier for them to settle down and drift off to sleep. In addition to monitoring sleep cues and establishing a bedtime routine, it is important to create a sleep-friendly environment for your baby. This includes keeping their room dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. You may also want to consider using white noise or a night light to help your baby feel secure and relaxed while they sleep.- Recognizing their sleep cues, establishing a bedtime routine, and creating a sleep-friendly environment, you can help your baby sleep better and improve their overall sleep quality. This proactive approach can lead to more restful nights for both you and your baby.
