Stay calm during nighttime wakeups from "summary" of The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night by Elizabeth Pantley
Maintaining a sense of calm during nighttime wakeups is crucial when trying to help your baby sleep through the night. When your baby wakes up, it's important to remain composed and avoid getting frustrated or anxious. Your baby can pick up on your emotions, so staying calm can help them feel safe and secure. Instead of immediately rushing to your baby's side, take a moment to assess the situation. Is your baby crying or just making noise? It's common for babies to make noises in their sleep without fully waking up. By pausing before responding, you can determine if your baby actually needs your help or if they might settle back to sleep on their own. When you do go to your baby, approach them gently and quietly. Avoid turning on bright lights or making loud noises that could startle them. By keeping the environment calm and peaceful, you can help your baby relax and drift back to sleep more easily. It's also important to be patient during nighttime wakeups. It may take some time for your baby to settle back to sleep, so try not to rush the process. Comfort your baby with gentle touches or soothing words, and allow them the time they need to calm down and fall back asleep. Remember that nighttime wakeups are a normal part of a baby's sleep cycle. By staying calm and patient, you can help your baby develop healthy sleep habits and learn to self-soothe. With consistency and gentle guidance, you can support your baby in sleeping through the night.
