Encouraging good sleep habits with your baby

 

Activity during the day

Learn your baby’s tired signs

Learn your baby’s self settling signs

Allow your baby to sleep during the day

Follow a consistent bedtime routine

Put your baby to bed relaxed and drowsy but awake

Give your baby time to relax and unwind prior to sleep

Your baby will wake at night

Keep night-time feeds relaxed and quiet

Your baby is an individual

A relaxed baby is a happy baby
