    1. Go to bedroom even they're awake
    2. Make it cool
    3. Make it quiet
    4. White noise helps
    5. Swaddling blanket helps
    6. Night light if wakes up
    7. Avoid over tired baby (120mins max wake time)

    With my first, I would run to him and nurse at every noise or movement. He’s nearly 5 and sleep has always been tough; he still needs assistance.
    I have a 7 week old now and I only assist her if she obviously needs me. She’s already a much better sleeper!
    This video/information is so helpful and I wish I’d had it with my first.

    Wow! I was watching this video with my 3 week old sleeping on my chest and decided to try your tips! I swaddled her with her arms down (instead of using a Love to Dream), turned the air con to 22 degrees, turned the white noise machine on, made sure the room was dark enough & rock her to a drowsy state and before putting her down in her bassinet and she felt asleep immediately! You're a bloody legend, thanks for the tips!

      I'm literally about to do EVERYTHING you just listed lol. I need to sleep and my baby has been having hard time. We are also struggling with breastfeeding which is throwing everything off too. Hopefully we can work on his sleep first, then maybe the breastfeeding will get easier cause he won't be so fussy from being overtired :))

      how long did baby sleep for when you did these steps?

  • @jenniferiversen1912
    @jenniferiversen1912 2 года назад +450

    The Breakdown:
    1. Understand sleep cycles, they may just be "light sleeping" instead of actually awake. Let them be until you know for sure they're up!
    2. Keep the room cool. Babies like 65-70ish degrees. Dress them accordingly. It's better to be too cool than too hot
    3. Make sure the room is dark. Not because of circadian rhythms (that's not until 3-5mo) but so that they aren't stimulated when they should be focused on sleep/falling asleep!
    4. Use a consistent noise, like a sound machine, to prevent stimulation and the startle reflex so they can stay asleep.
    5. Swaddle or use sleeping bags. She prefers arms down to prevent the startle reflex. Be sure to no over heat with the blanket as this is linked to SIDS. Make sure to get a good swaddle that they can't loosen or get out of. Otherwise use convenient swaddles like zip/velcro for safety.
    6. Keep the environment boring (not stimulating) for middle of the night wakes. Dim lights, no screens/noises. Just change, feed, sleep.
    7. Avoid an over tired baby. Cues of sleepiness- wiping eyes, yawning, zoning, looking away. The length of the nap typically determines how long they'll be awake. Typically a 3 hour nap means 2 hours of wakefulness (never more). A 30 minute nap may result in only 45 minutes of wakefulness.
    8. Avoid habituating. This is when there is lots of movement, noise, and stimulation during the sleep (like being around lots of people, being held while sleeping and passed around, etc.) this keeps them from a full deep sleep. They'll be fussy after, so make sure their next nap is in a dark quiet space!
    9. Using a pacifier: 6 weeks is the soonest you should start if breastfeeding. Sucking is soothing and calming. Stop the pacifier around 6 months as this is when you start sleep training and don't want them to depend on it. 8 months is about the time when they can put it back in their mouth and you don't want to get to that stage.

When my baby came things just fell in place, taking a day at a time. Of course you'll need some adjusting but it isn't as scary as we think. You will be great mama and congratulations.

      @catie052 2 года назад +11

      I felt the same way and I'm not going to sugar coat it bc many people did that for me and I guess I got too comfortable with the idea. The first couple of weeks were not so bad for me either but weeks 4-6 have been bad to the point I cry daily and don't have any freedom and I need sleep. I also have an amazing husband that has been helping A TON! but it's hard on him too. BUT know this, it will pass AND pediatrician thinks she's suffering from silent reflux (she slept for only 7.5 hours in 24 hours! and looks pained every time she feeds). And breastfeeding did not come easy for me or many others around me. I tell you this bc I kept blaming myself thinking I or my baby are "broken" and why does it have to be my baby who is hurting? IF something like this happens to you, just know it's not you and you and your husband will get through it. One thing I can say for certain is that your baby is going to be your world (in a great way) We love our baby so much! It's crazy. Good luck to you and remember, everything you go through during pregnancy, delivery, recovery, and fourth trimester is temporary. and it's all totally worth it! You're going to do great!

    I definitely find that white noise is most helpful for baby to sleep deeply. They come from a very very noisy environment inside our bodies, compared to outside which is way more quiet. Also I found my babies sleep quite well while nursing. After they fell asleep I would put them down for them to continue their naps. I never put them down awake, makes no sense since breastfeeding soothes them so much that they fall asleep. I didn’t pick up baby unless I knew for sure they were awake. As long as there is a very obvious difference between day and night, their little bodies adjust all on their own. My 4 month old (3rd baby) now sleeps from 7pm to 6 am, she adjusted by herself. All I did was nurse on demand, and followed her bio rhythm. I never wake my sleeping babies. A dark quiet room only works for us if it’s night outside. You don’t want to confuse their biorhythms if your goal is for them to learn to sleep at night. And yes I used a pacifier early on to stretch the night naps little by little.

    I personally think its okay for baby to sleep in a noisy environment. If its quiet, great. If its not, i would rather have an adaptable baby than a fussy baby. Being in public, restaurants, in the car, or having company is going to get a little (or a lot) noisy. If they're tired they will sleep. We fall asleep watching tv, at a movie theatre, in a car with music on and so can baby.

    Really awesome video. Great information, I didn't know about the light sleep Emma talks about. So that'll be really helpful.
    On the noise topic, it sounds like Emma's baby prefers quiet which is probably accurate. 5 days in, our baby appears to fall into the "prefers noise" camp, including loud conversation, shouting, dogs. She sleeps like a rock for 2-5 hours unless intentionally wake her up with touch. Our baby doesn't sleep in a quiet room very well though and wakes up after the 1st sleep cycle. So I'm just acknowledging that variance between different babies.

      You can swaddle them with hands near their face! My baby is the same. You can just keep the hand out- it’s better than the statue reflex waking them

    Great video lots of great tips thanks❤, I personally still think it’s helpful if a baby can sleep in loud environments. They’re asleep through most of our day and there are many loud public places, I would find it hard to get anything done if mine couldn’t sleep through those noises whilst I was out and about. Plus my dogs are way loud if she woke up to them we would be in trouble 🤣 sleeps through it all and i’m more than grateful for that!

    I was watching this as my newborn slowly started to stretch and go into light sleep 1 hour into her nap. I started to get nervous for my tired wife and wanted to rock her bassinet but thanks to this video I let her settle, let out a big poop and go back to deep sleep, hopefully we get another hour 😅 thanks for the helpful video

    Ha. I used a pacifier from week 1. It helps enormously.
    I want to know is why some babies fight sleep. My 3 week old will close her eyes, and show all signs of tiredness, and then BAM her eyes are wide open. Sometimes she can sit and stare for 40 minutes, sometimes she starts crying. I’ve put her down after 30 minutes in some cases, so there is no way she’s over tired, and yet… she just wants to stare into space.
    Also…. With clothing, does that guide also include things like swaddles or blankets? I’ve clearly been over dressing my baby…🥴 but in fairness I was only shown what do to do when bubs was first born and had to be dressed warmly…

    My newborn apparently hates swaddling and likes her hands free and most of the times over her head, she also startles a lot especially during night which I means I have to stay up almost whole night gently patting her on chest to calm her and make sure she is asleep. She is 25 days old, hopefully I will be able to get some sleep when she is a bit older😮

    Thank you for your videos, Emma! They have been amazing for my partner and I. Can I ask you about habituating? I (perhaps mistakenly) have gotten in the habit of reading to my baby boy who is now 3 months of age while he is tired and in my arms. I support his bum with my book-holding hand and gently rub or pat his back with the other while the bathroom fan is on and he seems to always fall asleep looking quite happy and content (and tired). When I put him down he usually goes through his reflex motion but quickly falls asleep afterwards. Is this habituating? He sometimes does wake up later on a little grumpy it seems... I have thought it was a nice and pleasant way to bond with him but it might sound like it is not a smart habit to build. Thanks again!

      @@kariotikotrol I stopped worrying about it! I've got 1.5 and 2.5 tog sleeping bags, for warmer and colder days. When it was hot our daughter slept without a sleeping bag and was perfectly happy. Most times the temperature in our rooms is fairly constant anyway, since you put the heating on during the winter. So we use a warmer sleeping bag but never needed the warmest there is if that makes sense. You quickly get a feeling for how cold/warm it is and what you think your little one needs. It used to stress me out but now I trust my instincts and make sure she's neither too cold nor too hot. I hope that helps and am happy to answer more questions if I just confused you 🥰

She was up for 5 hours in one stretch I rocked her for an hour and a half, refed changed nappy and started all over again and hd to repeat until finally she fell asleep. Now we are still paying for it today and she has only had 20-30 min naps. I always make sure she is back down to sleep before 45mins - an hour, we swaddle her, have white noise and the room is as dark as we can make it. She only got 10 hours sleep yesterday and today is looking worse I feel so bad for her and I don’t know what to do
