Understanding babies’ sleep!

We talked about sleep for babies under 6 months: 

  • How babies don’t immediately start sleeping through the night (and neither do we!). 
  • Why they wake and what ‘sleeping through the night’ actually means. 
  • The transition from the womb to ‘outside life’! It’s quite a change! 
  • Can you teach babies ‘bad sleep habits’? 
  • Starting to look at a sleep routine (6-8 weeks) - if you want to. 
  • Introducing a bedtime routine and wind down to naps 
  • 4 month sleep regression (or is it progression?) 
  • Sleep associations – what they go to sleep with needs to be replicated when they wake up. 
  • Are they too tired? Can you put them to bed / nap a bit earlier?
