5 Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Better

Getting your baby to sleep soundly can be a challenge, but these tips can make a significant difference:

  1. Establish a Calming Bedtime Routine:

    • A predictable bedtime routine signals to your baby that it’s time to sleep. Incorporate calming activities like a warm bath, gentle rocking, or reading a soothing bedtime story.

  2. Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment:

    • Ensure your baby’s room is conducive to sleep by keeping it dark, quiet, and cool. Use white noise if outside sounds are a distraction, and make sure their crib is comfortable and free of clutter.

  3. Watch for Sleep Cues:

    • Pay attention to your baby's signals that they’re getting sleepy—yawning, rubbing eyes, or fussiness. Putting your baby to bed when they show these signs can make falling asleep easier.

  4. Consistency Is Key:

    • Consistency in sleep times helps regulate your baby’s internal clock. Try to keep nap times and bedtime the same each day to establish a routine that your baby will come to expect.

  5. Practice Safe Sleep Habits:

    • Always place your baby on their back to sleep, and ensure the crib is free of soft bedding, pillows, or stuffed animals. Following safe sleep guidelines helps your baby stay comfortable and secure throughout the night.

By incorporating these five tips, you can help create a more relaxing sleep environment for your baby and yourself.

Remember that every baby is unique—finding the right combination that works for your child may take some time.

Parenting Story: The First Time My Baby Slept Through the Night

Our reader Michele shares a recent story that she thinks many parents can relate to.

I still remember the first time my son, Noah, slept through the night. It was an unexpected but wonderful surprise. We had finally established a consistent bedtime routine—bath, lullaby, and a little cuddling—and he seemed to relax right into it. I cautiously crept into his room around 3 AM, convinced he must have woken up quietly, only to find him still sound asleep.

That moment gave me hope—maybe, just maybe, the sleepless nights were coming to an end. It took time, but sticking to that routine has made all the difference, for both him and us as parents.
