6993            "description":"You know what they say – happy nipples, happy mom. Ok, maybe they don’t actually say that, but they should! Breastfeeding and pumping can take a toll on our breasts and nipples – especially if you’re doing it up to 15 times a day – which is why it’s so important to give yourself as much attention as you give your little one. Because they actually do say happy mom, happy baby. \nWhile time for yourself (even if that’s just a solo pee) and meeting friends are important for your mental health, it’s also important to look after your nipple health. Welcome to a whole new world of self-care.\nRead on to understand why sore nipples happen, how to avoid this problem, and how to treat them so you can experience less pain and discomfort while breastfeeding. \nWhat causes pumping nipple pain?\nWhen you’re new to breast pumping, there are a number of factors that might cause nipple soreness. These aren’t typically cause for too much concern, and can usually be treated easily. Reasons for nipple pain during or after pumping might include: \n\n\nEngorgement. Breast engorgement is when the breasts become overly full, and it causes the whole breast or chest to feel sore and swollen. That feeling may extend to the areola or nipple. Frequent feeding can help reduce engorgement, while ice packs after a feed may also help relieve sore nipples.\n\n\nNipple injuries. Cracked, chafed, or split nipples can be sore and painful during pumping and they often are sore and uncomfortable afterward. In addition, cracked nipples can lead to breast infection because you have an open wound where bacteria can get in. Cracked nipples are often a result of poor latch or tongue tie and should immediately be addressed.\n\n\nMilk blisters. Milk blisters (also called milk blebs) occur when the skin on your nipple closes over a milk duct, or the duct becomes blocked with hardened breast milk. They are small raised bumps on the nipple that may feel hard to the touch, and are usually white or yellow in color. They may be inflamed. Milk blisters may be caused by a bad latch, oversupply, engorgement, or an ill-fitting bra or breast pump. They can usually be treated by softening the skin using a warm compress. They can look similar to spots caused by thrush, which is a fungal infection and will require treatment.\n\n\nNipple vasospasms. Sometimes called mammary constriction syndrome, nipple vasospasms cause a sudden narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the nipple. This may cause soreness, itching, or increased nipple sensitivity to cold temperatures. The nipples may also appear white or blue in color. A lactation consultant to help address a poor latch is critical If you are experiencing severe vasospasms. You can treat mild vasospasms by limiting nipple exposure to air or cold, applying a warm compress; more significant vasospasm may require over the counter or prescribed medications or supplements. \n\n\nShort, flat or inverted nipples. Some people with these types of nipples will experience more soreness or pain in the early weeks of nursing or pumping due to the greater pressure applied to the areola and nipple. In this case, using a hospital-grade pump and nipple shield can provide more comfort and make pumping less painful.\n\n\nA pump shield that doesn't fit correctly. Breast pumps come with a selection of shield (flange) sizes. If a pump shield is too small, your nipple may rub along the side of the shield, causing soreness, burning or discomfort while you pump.\n\n\nPump suction which is too high. Electric breast pumps typically include a number of suction settings; if the pump suction is set too high, you may feel soreness or pain in your breast, nipples or both.\n\n\nIf you’re experiencing persistent pain when breast pumping and you’re unable to identify the root cause, you should make an appointment with your doctor or lactation consultant. \nIs nipple pain while pumping normal?\nWhile it’s not uncommon to experience a little breast pain or nipple soreness when you first start pumping — as your body gets used to the sensation and you try to find the most comfortable position — using a breast pump shouldn’t be painful. If you’re experiencing pain during or after pumping, that’s generally a sign that something isn’t quite right.\nFortunately, making a few simple adju
6993stments should minimize nipple pain when pumping — for example, checking you have the right size breast shield, reducing the intensity of the pump’s suction, and adopting a nipple aftercare routine. If pain persists, don’t be afraid to ask for help: a lactation consultant will be able to guide you on the best ways to avoid continuous pain. \nWhat are the most common nipple issues caused by pumping?\nWhen you're pumping daily — particularly when combining pumping with nursing — this can take its toll on your nipples, if done incorrectly. The most common nipple-related issues caused by pumping include:\n\n\nSore nipples from pumping: If your nipples are sore during or after pumping, it may be that the pump shield doesn’t fit correctly or you have the suction set too high.\n\n\nCracked nipples from pumping: Pumping can sometimes cause your nipples to dry out, which over time can lead to cracking. Try to keep them moisturized before and after pumping using a balm. \n\n\nWhite nipples after pumping: Nipple blanching occurs when the nipples appear white and misshapen, which could be a sign of nipple vasospasms. \n\n\nItchy nipples after pumping: If your nipples tend to itch during or after pumping, this could be down to irritated skin. Itching can also be a sign of thrush or mastitis; if symptoms persist, it's always worth speaking to your doctor.\n\n\nNipples bleeding from pumping: If you notice a little blood around the areola or nipple while pumping, this might be a sign of nipple damage or broken capillaries. If this persists, you should see your doctor. \n\n\nNipples swollen after pumping: A bit of swelling during pumping is not uncommon, but if this persists for more than a few minutes following a pumping session, it’s probably due to an incorrectly-sized shield. \n\n\nBruised nipples from pumping: If you notice bruising around the nipples, this may be because you have the suction set too high, or that your breast shield is incorrectly positioned or the wrong size. \n\n\nCan I pump with sore nipples?\nYes, it is generally safe to breastfeed or pump with sore nipples as long as you can tolerate it, but breastfeeding and\/or pumping should not fundamentally hurt. Painful or uncomfortable feeding or pumping is usually a sign that something isn’t right, and may even lead to further problems down the line. \nThe degree of soreness or discomfort will determine whether you need to make some significant adjustments to keep going. Severe or persistent soreness, pain and discomfort should not be left unaddressed, and you should speak to your doctor or a lactation consultant if you’re really struggling.\nHow to prevent pumping nipple pain\nYour nipples shouldn’t hurt while you pump, and if they do, there’s usually a simple explanation. If you’re experiencing nipple pain during or following a pumping session, there are a number of things you can do to treat sore nipples and prevent pain, irritation or discomfort.\nCheck your shield size and positioning\nYour nipple should be centered in what is called the ‘tunnel’ and the nipples should not be rubbing inside of the flanges. If they are, they may become chafed and sore. Each pump comes with a range of breast shield sizes: you can find your ideal size using Elvie’s nipple sizing tool. \nIf our flange sizes don't fit, you can use our soft, silicone nipple cushions. These are designed for moms with small nipples, and will eliminate chafing and soreness from a flange that's the wrong size. Choose from three sizes of nipple cushion.\nCheck your suction settings\nIf you’re experiencing breast pain or discomfort while using an electric breast pump, it’s possible that you’ve set the suction levels too high. Try turning down the suction level, ensuring it feels comfortable and setting it only as strong as the level of suction which works to remove milk from your body.\nUse a hospital-grade breast pump\nParticularly if you have short, flat or inverted nipples, using a hospital-grade breast pump such as Elvie Stride can increase comfort and reduce pain while you pump. Elvie Str
6993ide includes 2 modes and 10 intensity settings, enabling you to find a suction setting which is powerful enough yet comfortable. \nTry reverse pressure softening\nReverse pressure softening is a technique which involves using the hands to move the fluid in your breasts backward and stimulate milk flow to make expression easier. It helps to relieve pressure and swelling caused by engorgement, which may cause soreness in the nipples. \nApply a warm compress before and try a cold compress after\nBefore pumping, try applying a warm compress to the breast for a short while. This will help trigger the milk ejection reflex and increase comfort when you pump. When you’re finished, a cold compress such as an ice pack can be soothing and reduce inflammation and ease any soreness.\nLubricate before pumping\nYou can reduce the likelihood of feeling soreness or discomfort while pumping by lubricating the nipple area before you pump. Coconut oil has natural moisturizing properties, and applying a small amount to the nipple beforehand can ease irritation and make for a smoother pumping experience. \nApply a little expressed breast milk\nBreast milk contains natural antibacterial properties, so rubbing some of your expressed breast milk into the nipples after pumping can help to soothe sore nipples and reduce pain from pumping. \nKeep your nipples clean\nIt might sound obvious but nipple hygiene is an important part of ensuring pain-free and comfortable pumping. When you have a little one to look after, self-care can fall by the wayside, but a few simple steps will help keep your nipples clean and healthy. \nHow to clean your nipples:\n\n\nKeep your hands clean. Always wash your hands or use sanitizer before touching your breasts. This will prevent you transferring any unwanted bacteria from your hands to your nipples. \n\n\nAvoid using soap on your nipples. Your nipples produce natural oils. Household soaps and shower gels can remove these natural oils and cause the skin to become dry or irritated. Instead, wash your nipples using warm water only when in the bath or shower. \n\n\nGently towel-dry or air dry your nipples. When you get out of the bath or shower, dab them gently with a towel or allow them to air-dry. Avoid rubbing them too hard with a towel, as this may cause irritation or soreness. \n\n\nClean your equipment after each pump. It’s important to thoroughly wash each component of your breast pump after each session to avoid bacteria building up and potentially causing infection.  \n\n\nHow to care for your nipples after pumping\nWhen it comes to reducing nipple pain, aftercare is key. If you’re looking after your breasts and your nipples once you’re done pumping, this can help them recover quicker and feel a lot more comfortable each time you pump. \n\n\nWear a support bra or nursing bra. Using the right bra will allow your skin to breathe and prevent irritation. It will also give extra support to engorged breasts that may be heavier than usual.\n\n\n\n\nUse a nipple cream or balm. Cracked or itchy nipples from pumping aren’t fun. However, nipple balms and creams can help the skin heal quicker so your pumping sessions aren’t as painful. However, nipple cream or balm alone will not fix the root cause of the symptoms. Be sure to see a lactation consultant to solve your pumping issues.\n\n\nApply a warm or cold compress. Pumping can put a lot of pressure on the breasts, but applying a warm or cold compress to the nipple and areola after pumping can reduce inflammation or soreness. \n\n\nChange your breast pads regularly. If you’re using breast pads to soak up any leaking milk, make sure to change these regularly to prevent irritation and bacteria from growing. Alternatively, use a collection cup-like Elvie Catch that’s designed for the natural shape of a woman’s breast and can be worn comfortably for up to three hours. \n\n\nYour nipples will thank you for it\nTaking care of your breasts while pumping is pretty simple and not too time-consuming, but it can really make the difference and make sure you and your nipples are as happy as your baby is. So keep things clean, ensure your breast pump feels comfortable, take good care of your nipples before and after pumping, and you’ll be in for a smooth ride (well, as smooth as motherhood can ever be).\nAll of the information above was supervised by Jada Shapiro on 28\/3\/23.

7016            "description":"Raising a child is the ultimate responsibility, and as we all know, the earliest childhood experiences — and learned habits — have a huge impact on adult life. But as a first-time mom, sifting through the endless advice, opinions, and expectations can leave you feeling uncertain about your approach to parenting. If you’ve done any amount of research into parenting techniques, you’ve probably come across the term “positive parenting”, or you may even have heard about the “Triple P” method — but what do these approaches involve? What is positive parenting?Rather than focusing on strict rules or punishments — which, let’s face it, can often cause more distress than anything else — positive parenting encourages a supportive, nurturing environment. At its core, positive parenting promotes the idea that as parents, we should focus on good rather than bad behavior. Now don’t get us wrong, this can be tricky — we’re practically hardwired to fixate on the behavioral elements we’d like to correct or resolve, but research shows that a greater emphasis on highlighting and rewarding a child’s strengths can provide huge benefits in both the short and long-term. But what counts as a strength?When it comes to babies, you’re not dealing with temper tantrums or defiance just yet — you’ve still got that to look forward to — but that doesn’t mean your baby isn’t learning and developing new skills every day. In fact, the first year sets the foundations for some of the most important aspects of your baby’s personality, including emotional security, trust, and parental connection. For example, let’s say your baby cries in the middle of the night — as they often do. While it might be tempting to feel frustrated (especially at 3am), positive parenting views this as an opportunity to build trust. By responding calmly and consistently, whether with a soothing voice or a gentle cuddle, you’re teaching your baby that their needs will be met, which helps them develop a sense of security and attachment.Research shows that the bond formed with your baby during these early months lays the groundwork for how they’ll approach relationships, process emotions, and even solve problems as they grow older. What is the “Triple P” system?The “Triple P System”, or Positive Parenting Program, is a framework based around the central idea of positive parenting — but it’s not about telling you how to parent, as much as it is giving you the tools and strategies you need to parent positively.The Triple P system was developed by Professor Matthew R. Sanders and his team in 2001, at the University of Queensland, Australia.Initially, the system began as a small, home-based programme designed to support parents of disruptive toddlers, but over time, evolved into a comprehensive, all-encompassing parenting approach. Nowadays, the techniques are used across a wide range of ages, from newborns, right up to tweens and teens. The system is widely known as one of the most effective and evidence-backed parenting frameworks in the world, and has been translated into 22 languages and used in 28 countries by more than 76,000 accredited practitioners. The principles of the Triple P systemThere are five key principles forming the basis of the Triple P system. These are:1. Providing a safe, interesting environmentPerhaps the most important of the 5 principles, providing your little one with a safe, stimulating environment means your baby will feel secure to explore, play, and learn once they’re old enough to leave the crib. It’s not just about baby-proofing your home, though — emotional safety matters too. Your baby needs to know they’re in a secure and loving environment.2. Having a positive learning environmentBabies and children learn best when they feel supported, and as a parent, you play a huge role in shaping how they approach challenges. Triple P focuses on positive reinfor
7016cement — praising effort, celebrating milestones, and offering encouragement even in the face of setbacks. Once your child begins to explore through play, a little bit of praise can go a long way.3. Using assertive disciplineWhile we all lose our cool sometimes, assertive discipline doesn’t mean being harsh or yelling. It’s about setting clear rules and being consistent with them. This tenet is more applicable to toddlers and older children, but it’s well worth keeping in mind for the future.Let’s say your little one keeps grabbing things off the table after you’ve asked them not to. Instead of getting frustrated (easier said than done, we know), calmly take the item away and explain why. Consistency is key — if you let it slide sometimes and not others, they’ll get confused. 4. Setting realistic expectationsWhen you’re dealing with tantrums or sleepless nights, it’s easy to think, “Why isn’t my child behaving like so-and-so’s kid?” or, “I should have this figured out by now.” But every child is different. Sleepless nights, for example, are par for the course in the early days, and tantrums are a normal part of toddler-dom. Most of the time, these issues aren’t anything to do with your parenting approach; they’re simply developmental milestones. As a mom, you’re not supposed (or expected) to have all the answers, and the Triple P system acknowledges this. 5. Taking care of yourself as a parentHere’s a principle that gets overlooked way too often — you matter too! When you’re running on empty, it’s impossible to be the parent you want to be. That’s why taking care of yourself is crucial.Whether it’s sneaking in a quick nap, enjoying a cup of coffee while it’s still hot, or asking your partner to take over for a bit so you can get some fresh air, self-care looks different for everyone. Maybe it’s an extra five minutes in the shower, catching up with a friend, or finding time to exercise. Whatever it is, don’t feel guilty about it. When you feel good, it shows — and your kids pick up on that. A happier, less-stressed mom means a happier home.How does the Triple P system work?Triple P isn’t like a traditional course with one set route; instead, it’s easier to think of it as a toolbox, filled with practical strategies designed to give you everything you need to tackle some of the hardest parts of the parenting journey.You absolutely don’t need to sign up for a course to start using these techniques with your baby. Many of the ideas behind positive parenting are intuitive and based on best practices — things like being responsive to your baby’s needs, creating a calm environment, and building routines. You might already be doing a lot of this without even realizing it!If you’re interested in exploring the program, though, Triple P offers various levels of support, ranging from online resources and group workshops to one-on-one sessions with a parenting coach. This can be really helpful if you want more personalized guidance or are facing specific challenges that you’re not sure how to handle on your own.Positive parenting for babiesThe first year of life is the very definition of sensory overload. Your baby is being bombarded with new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, sensations, and emotions, so a little bit of fussiness or crying is to be expected. What really matters is how you handle your baby’s behaviors, and this is where positive parenting can help.Remember: at this stage, it’s less about discipline and more about responding to your baby’s cues in ways that build trust and security.Here are some of the key principles from Triple P that you can start using right now:Try to empathizeA newborn baby can’t tell you what they need with words, so it’s all about tuning in to their cues. Every cry, coo, or movement is a way for them to communicate with you. One of the most important things you can do as a first-time mom is to try to see the world from your baby’s perspective.When your baby is fussing, it’s not because they’re being difficult. Maybe they’re tired, hungry, overstimulated, or just need a cuddle. By slowing down and asking yourself, “What is my baby trying to tell me?”, you’ll start to recognize the patterns in their behavior. The more you do this, the more attuned you’ll become to their emotional and physical needs, which builds that all-important sense of trust between you and your baby.Encourage explorationBabies learn through play, and one of the best ways to play with your child is through exploration. Follow their lead and look for clues — are their eyes drawn to a colorful throw? Perhaps they’ve got a strange obsession with the rubbery buttons on the TV remote. Whatever they’re fascinated by, use it as an opportunity to engage with them and show them that you’re keen to share in their discoveries. It’s not just about introducing your little one to new objects or places, either — new sensations count as exploration too! Simple activities like tummy time or gentle tickling can help them build their motor skills and support cognitive development. Give positive reinfor
7016cementNow, when we talk about positive reinforcement for babies, it’s not about gold star stickers and reward charts (again, this will come later). Instead, it’s about responding to your baby’s needs; smiling back when they smile, soothing them when they cry, or providing stimulation when they’re feeling curious — all of which will reassure them that you’re present, and they’re safe.All of these tiny moments might feel insignificant, but in the scheme of things, they’re actually incredibly impactful and lay the foundation for how they’ll interact with the world in later life. Be patient with yourselfFinally, we can’t stress this enough — be kind to yourself! You’re not going to get it right 100% of the time, and that’s OK. No one does. Some days you’ll feel like you’ve nailed it, and others you might feel like you’re barely holding it together. Babies are unpredictable, and just when you think you’ve figured something out, they’ll throw you a curveball (hello, sleep regression).But the good news is, positive parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present and doing your best to respond with love, empathy, and patience — for both your baby and yourself.So, whether your baby is cooing, crying, or just staring up at you with those big, curious eyes, know that each moment is an opportunity to connect, build trust, and lay the foundation for a strong, loving relationship. Positive parenting starts right now, and you’ve got everything you need to do it.",

7039            "description":"We love to romanticize the idea of the “supermom” — the non-cape-wearing heroine who can effortlessly juggle the demands of childcare with just about anything else life throws at her.\n \nBut while some new moms do seemingly take to parenthood more naturally than others, the reality for most is that adapting to life as a mom is a marathon, not a Wonder Woman-style sprint — the journey to motherhood is paved with profound physical, psychological, and emotional challenges.\n \nThis journey is referred to as matrescence: a term that was coined almost half-a-decade ago but is still relatively little understood as a concept — type the word into any word processor and it’ll likely be underlined in red as an assumed misspelling, highlighting society’s sluggishness at catching on to this critical stage in many women’s lives.\nBut just what is matrescence? What does it involve? And how does it impact the women who go through it? In this guide, we explore the concept of matrescence in detail, highlighting its different stages and offering advice for navigating the transition from mom-to-be to mom.\nMatrescence definition: what does matrescence mean?\nMatrescence describes the process of becoming a mother, encompassing the physical, psychological, social, and emotional changes that shape the journey to motherhood. When a woman gives b
7039irth — or becomes a mother through adoption or surrogacy — she experiences profound changes that can impact her body, her identity, and her relationships.\n \nAccording to Aurelie Athan, a clinical psychologist who lectures in Reproductive Psychology, matrescence is “a developmental passage where a woman transitions through pre-conception, pregnancy and birth, surrogacy or adoption, to the postnatal period and beyond,” which can be likened to the developmental push of adolescence.\n \nMatrescence can have an impact on many aspects of a woman’s life. Hormonal changes can affect mood and energy levels, for example, while new mothers often experience a reconfiguration of their identities. But there are also emotional fluctuations, societal pressures, and even relationship changes to grapple with.\nWhy is it called matrescence?\nMost of us are familiar with the term “adolescence”, the period of life when a child transitions to adulthood. Just as this key developmental stage is characterized by dramatic hormonal and psychological shifts, the journey to motherhood involves not only a physical transformation but often an emotional one, too — which can even impact a woman’s sense of self.\n \nBut while adolescence has been studied since the early 1900s, it wasn’t until the mid-1970s that anthropologist Dana Raphael coined the adjacent term “matrescence” to describe the equally transformative experience of becoming a mother. She saw this process as a “rite of passage” that had been overlooked in scientific research and discussions around motherhood.\n \nRaphael believed that, “Giving birth does not automatically make a mother out of a woman,” stressing that the transition to motherhood was not simply a biological process but encompassed social, cultural, and even political factors — particularly when considering the differing attitudes towards motherhood and childcare across cultures.\nWhy is it important that we acknowledge matrescence?\nAs Lucy Jones, author of the book Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood, underlines, “After childhood and adolescence, there is no other time in an adult human’s life course which entails such dramatic psychological, social, and physical change.”\n \nUnderstanding that matrescence is a process much like adolescence helps us appreciate, as individuals and as a society, that adapting to motherhood doesn’t happen overnight but is often a prolonged and challenging phase of a woman’s life. It also helps us avoid making unrealistic assumptions that women are simply “built” for motherhood.\n \nOf course, motherhood is often a blissful and rewarding experience, but if we don’t acknowledge the emotional and psychological challenges new mothers face, we risk alienating those who feel overwhelmed or inadequate. By naming and acknowledging matrescence as a concept, we validate the experiences of all mothers.\nWhat happens during matrescence?\nSince no two women experience matrescence in exactly the same way, it’s important to understand that there’s no “typical” journey to becoming a mother. However, matrescence is often characterized by a series of deeply felt transformations that shape a woman’s biological, psychological, and emotional makeup.\n \n\n\nBiological shifts. Hormones such as estrogen, prolactin, and oxytocin fluctuate during and after pregnancy. These shifts are crucial for adapting to caregiving and bonding, but they can also dramatically affect a woman’s mood and energy levels.\n\n\nPhysical recovery. A woman’s body goes through a lot during childbirth, and the early stages of motherhood involve a period of recovery. This can include recovering from vaginal tears, cesarean healing (if the mother has had a C-section), and uterine involution (where the uterus shrinks back to its original size).\n\n\nPsychological changes. Motherhood often forces a woman to reevaluate her personal identity and sense of self. Reconciling the pre-motherhood self with a new maternal role can be both challenging and disorienting.\n\n\nEmotional variances. New mothers often experience complex and changeable emotions, with moods fluctuating between joy, sadness, frustration, and more. Around 80% of new moms will have the “baby blues”, while roughly 1 in 7 experience postpartum depression.\n\n\nNeurological transformations. The brain adapts to the new priorities and demands of motherhood, often enhancing “maternal” instincts. These neural adaptations help new mothers become attuned to their baby’s needs and support the bonding process between mom and baby.\n\n\nChanges in relationships. Relationships with partners, family, and friends often evolve during matrescence. New moms may face changes in intimacy with their partner, for instance, as they balance caregiving with their role in the relationship.\n\n\nSocial pressures. Motherhood often comes with external pressures to conform to societal ideals of the “perfect parent”, and these unrealistic expectations can often lead to a woman feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or inadequate.\n\n\nHow long does matrescence last?\nWhile the impact of matrescence may feel more intense in the first year following childbirth, there’s no specific, fixed timeline since everyone’s experience is unique. It may last for months, years, or even a lifetime.\n \nIndeed, many experts believe that matrescence is a lifelong process, with a mother’s maternal identity in constant evolution as their child moves through life stages such as infancy, toddlerhood, and adolescence before eventually gaining independence.\n \nEach stage of a child’s life brings new experiences and challenges that can reshape a mother’s maternal identity, with moms having to continually adapt to the emotional and social demands of parenthood — often even as their children become adults themselves.\nDoes matrescence happen during adoption and surrogacy?\nYes. While it might manifest itself in a different way — and a woman who becomes a mother through surrogacy or adoption may not experience the same physical transformation as a birth mother — the psychological, emotional, and social impact of motherhood is not limited to pregnancy and childbirth.\n \nAdopted and intended mothers still experience many of the same changes and challenges associated with adapting to their new maternal role — such as a shift in 
7039identity, a reconfiguration of their social relationships, and the emotional and psychological adjustments needed for bonding and caregiving.\nIs there a male version of matrescence?\nYes. While it’s not gained the same academic traction as matrescence, Dr. Will Courtenay, a clinical psychologist, coined the parallel term “patrescence” to describe a man’s journey to fatherhood — noting that fathers too go through identity shifts, emotional struggles, and relationship changes while adapting to their new roles.\nMuch like during matrescence, it’s not uncommon for new fathers to feel stress, anxiety, or uncertainty as they transition to parenthood, but active involvement in caregiving has been shown to enhance bonding and have a positive impact on a father’s mental health.\nHow to navigate matrescence as a new mother\nOf course, there’s no manual for navigating the transition to becoming a parent, and there’s certainly no one-size-fits-all blueprint for motherhood — as we’ve made clear, matrescence looks and feels slightly different for everybody. But there are certain things you can do to make the journey at least a little smoother.\n \n\n\nBe patient with yourself. Matrescence is a journey, and no one can be expected to adapt to motherhood overnight. It’s okay to feel anxious or overwhelmed at times, so be lenient with yourself, and don’t assume you need to have everything figured out right away.\n\n\n\n\nLet go of perfectionism. Many new mothers feel pressure to meet society’s standards of the “perfect mom”, but these are unrealistic and unhelpful. It can be easier said than done, but try to set reasonable expectations for yourself and your family rather than aiming for an impossible ideal.\n\n\n\n\nTrust your instincts. Parenting advice will inevitably come from every angle — and it’ll often be helpful and well-intentioned — but remember that you know what’s best for you and your baby. Have confidence in your own decision-making abilities.\n\n\nMake time for self-care. Taking care of yourself is never selfish. While it can feel impossible to find a spare second for some you time, try to work self-care into your routine — take a short walk, run yourself a bath, or give meditation a try, for example.\n\n\nDon’t assume motherhood defines you. While the role of a mother is important and often rewarding, remember that you’re more than “just a mom” — it’s okay to have your own interests, maintain friendships, and live a life that doesn’t simply involve caregiving.\n\n\n\n\nCelebrate little victories. Remember that every milestone is an achievement, no matter how small. Recognizing every little “win” — even something as simple as leaving the house with your baby for the first time — helps build resilience and a positive mindset.\n\n\nDon’t be afraid to ask for support. Asking for help can feel like an admission of failure, but it’s essential to build a strong support network. Be open with friends, family, and your partner, and don’t be afraid to seek professional advice if you’re feeling overwhelmed.\n\n\n\n\nRemember, there’s no such thing as “normal”. Everyone’s journey to motherhood is different. Many new mothers experience feelings of uncertainty, self-doubt, or even ambivalence; this doesn’t make you a bad mom but a human navigating a complex transition.\n\n\n \nAt Elvie, we believe it’s so important to acknowledge and discuss matrescence as a concept — particularly as it’s still so little understood by society as a whole. We mustn’t assume that women are simply natural caregivers, and we need to appreciate that the journey to motherhood can often be as challenging as it is rewarding. \nAs a new mom, remember that it’s natural to feel anxious, doubtful, or overwhelmed at times. Motherhood isn’t meant to be easy, but don’t be afraid to trust your instincts, celebrate every win, and seek support when you need it. You don’t need to be Wonder Woman — you just need to do what’s best for you and your baby.",

7062            "description":"It’s a bit of an understatement to say that life as a new mom is filled with change — your moods can fluctuate, your sleep patterns will likely be erratic, and your routine will be unrecognizable from your pre-pregnancy life.\n \nBut there are also a lot of changes going on inside your body.\n \nThe human body is filled with over 50 different hormones, and they play an essential role in factors such as growth, metabolism, and sexual function. For women who’ve gone through pregnancy, they’re also vital in helping the body adjust to motherhood.\n \nHormones such as estrogen and progesterone do an important job during and after childbirth, but the varying needs of your body mean they change dramatically during the postpartum period — affecting (among other things) your mood, sleep, and energy levels.\n \nSo, what is actually going on with your hormones after pregnancy? When do they spike and dip? And when will they go back to “normal”? Our guide covers everything you need to know about postpartum hormone changes.\nWhat happens to your hormones after giving birth?\nJust like many other aspects of your life, your hormones are in a state of flux as you recover from childbirth and begin adapting to your new role. These hormonal shifts can be challenging, but they also play a vital part in everything from your body’s physical recovery process to your ability to bond with your new baby.\nEstrogen and progesterone decrease\nEstrogen and progesterone are sex hormones that play an important role in reproductive health. During pregnancy, estrogen promotes the growth of the uterus and supports the ongoing development of the fetus, while progesterone thickens the uterus lining and helps to prevent preterm labor.\nBecause of these essential functions, estrogen and progesterone levels increase during pregnancy, but drop rapidly following childbirth. This sharp decrease is mainly due to the fact estrogen and progesterone are produced in the placenta, which leaves your body when you give birth.\n \nThe decline in estrogen and progesterone can cause dramatic mood changes in the early days following childbirth, and is thought to be at least partly responsible for the phenomenon known as the “baby blues” — a feeling of sadness which is especially common in the first 2-3 days, but can last up to two weeks.\nProlactin increases\nProlactin is the hormone responsible for lactation. Produced by the pituitary gland — a tiny gland at the base of the brain — it promotes the growth of breast tissue (specifically the type known as mammary alveoli) and stimulates the cells that help to produce milk for breastfeeding.\n \nBecause it’s so essential for milk production, prolactin spikes dramatically following childbirth, and remains high during breastfeeding — the more frequently you nurse, the higher your prolactin levels will be. If you choose not to breastfeed, however, your prolactin levels will go back to normal within around two weeks.\nOxytocin remains high\nNicknamed the “love hormone”, oxytocin is quite unique in that it increases during pregnancy and stays high following childbirth. This hormone performs various functions throughout the pregnancy and postpartum periods, impacting everything from labor to postpartum recovery and even mom-baby bonding.\n \nBefore birth, for example, oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions to help the cervix dilate and induce labor — oxytocin levels increase as labor progresses.\n \nPostpartum, oxytocin continues to perform a number of important functions, such as helping the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and preventing excessive postpartum bleeding. It also triggers the let-down reflex to enable breastfeeding, regulates mood, and helps to strengthen the emotional attachment between mother and baby.\nCortisol decreases\nCortisol is often referred to as the “stress hormone”. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol performs several functions in the body, including maintaining healthy blood pressure, regulating metabolism, and (here’s where the nickname comes from) helping the body respond to stress.\n \nCortisol levels gradually rise during pregnancy (reaching their peak in the latter stages) as the hormone plays a significant role in developing the fetus, modulating the immune response, managing energy levels, and latterly helping both mom and baby prepare for birth.\n \nFollowing pregnancy, c
7062ortisol levels decrease quite dramatically as the body shifts from its ‘high-energy’ pregnancy state to one focused on healing and recovery. Metabolic processes also return to their pre-pregnancy levels. This reduction in cortisol can lead to postpartum mood changes, and in some cases may even contribute to postpartum depression.\nEndorphins decrease\nEndorphins are neurotransmitters produced by the brain, often referred to as the body’s “natural painkillers”. They typically spike in pregnant women to help them cope with the physical pain and discomfort of pregnancy (particularly during labor) while they can also contribute to the feeling of euphoria after giving birth.\n \nDuring the postpartum period, however, endorphin levels usually fall. In combination with the drop in other hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and cortisol, this can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and “baby blues”. New moms recovering from birth may also be more sensitive to pain as endorphins return to their pre-pregnancy levels.\nHow do hormonal changes affect you after birth?\nThe changes in hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and cortisol that occur following pregnancy can have dramatic physical and emotional effects — impacting everything from your energy levels to your mood. While the postpartum experience can be different for every woman, hormonal shifts may affect you in the following ways:\n \n\n\nMood changes. The drop in hormones such as estrogen and cortisol is associated with postpartum mood swings, with new moms often experiencing complex and changeable emotions.\n\n\nBaby blues. These reductions can also contribute to the “baby blues”, which is very common in the first few days following birth, and in rarer cases can lead to postpartum depression.\n\n\nFatigue. Decreased levels of hormones like cortisol can contribute to feelings of exhaustion and a lack of energy.\n\n\nStress and anxiety. Lower cortisol levels can sometimes make it harder to manage stress, which may lead to bouts of anxiety and irritability.\n\n\nDifficulty sleeping. The reduction in estrogen (which reduces the amount of time it takes to fall asleep) and progesterone (which helps with relaxation) can often introduce sleep-related challenges including insomnia and frequent waking.\n\n\n \nHowever, while navigating these postpartum hormone changes can certainly be challenging, it’s not all mood swings and sleepless nights. There are some upsides too, with hormones such as oxytocin aiding physical recovery (helping the uterus to contract after birth and reducing postpartum bleeding) while also supporting mother-baby bonding.\nHow long do postpartum hormones last?\nPostpartum hormone fluctuations typically last from a few weeks to several months after giving birth. The most significant changes — such as the rapid drop in estrogen and progesterone — occur within the first few days, while other hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin remain elevated for longer, especially in breastfeeding mothers.\n \nWhile symptoms such as mood swings generally improve after a few weeks, some women may continue experiencing hormonal effects for several months. In cases of postpartum depression, these effects can persist longer and may require medical intervention.\nWhen do hormones drop postpartum?\nMost hormones begin to drop almost immediately after giving birth. For example, estrogen and progesterone levels decrease within 24 hours (mainly because the placenta, where these two hormones are produced, is expelled during delivery) and return to pre-pregnancy levels within a few days.\n \nOther hormones take longer to decline. Oxytocin, for instance, increases during pregnancy and remains high for a while after birth (it may begin to decrease up to 8 weeks postpartum, though this can vary) as it continues to play an important role in factors like postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and mom-baby bonding.\nWhen do your hormones level out postpartum?\nYour hormones will usually go back to their normal, pre-pregnancy levels between three to six months after giving birth, but this can vary between women. Factors such as stress, sleep deprivation, and whether you decide to breastfeed can all affect how long it takes for your hormones to level out.\n \nFor example, breastfeeding mothers continue to produce higher levels of prolactin and oxytocin (both of which play an important role in milk production and let-down) and this means it can often take longer for ‘hormonal balance’ to be fully restored.\nPostpartum hormones timeline: what happens when?\nPostpartum hormone changes rarely happen like clockwork (there aren’t many things you can set your watch to when it comes to motherhood) and the timeframe often depends on whether you decide to breastfeed or not; but let’s attempt to at least give you a rough idea of what your postpartum hormone timeline will look like.\nFirst week postpartum hormones\nMany hormones surge during labor and childbirth (your endorphins spike and often give you a sense of euphoria, for example) and while some remain high, most will dramatically decrease in the days following delivery. For example:\n\n\nEstrogen and progesterone levels will fall rapidly (usually within 24 hours) and return to their pre-pregnancy norm shortly after. This is often accompanied by the “baby blues”, which typically only last a few days.\n\n\nProlactin will increase dramatically in the first few days to help stimulate milk production (if you choose not to breastfeed, your prolactin levels will return to normal in a couple of weeks).\n\n\nOxytocin will remain high in the early days following childbirth, helping to counteract the drop in estrogen and progesterone and help with bonding between mom and baby.\n\n\n3-6 weeks postpartum hormones\nAny initial “baby blues” should have subsided by this 
7062stage, but for the roughly 1 in 7 new moms who develop postpartum depression, they’ll usually start to experience symptoms — which can include a very low mood, irrational thoughts, and trouble bonding with your baby — within a few weeks of giving birth. Additionally:\n\n\nEstrogen and progesterone will have returned to their pre-pregnancy levels.\n\n\nProlactin will remain high for breastfeeding mothers, to support ongoing milk production.\n\n\nOxytocin will also remain high for nursing moms, but may begin to drop from around 8 weeks.\n\n\n3 months postpartum hormones\nAt this stage, particularly for non-breastfeeding mothers, many hormones will have begun returning to their baseline, pre-pregnancy levels — this is typically also when periods return for those who choose not to nurse.\n \nHowever, hormones such as cortisol (the “stress hormone”) can spike around this time as the stresses of parenting often begin to take their toll.\n6 months postpartum hormones\nMany new moms find their hormones have ‘leveled out’ and returned to their pre-pregnancy state by the 6-month mark. However, this is often dependent on whether they’re breastfeeding, as prolactin and oxytocin levels remain high in breastfeeding mothers.\n \nWhen you begin weaning your baby off breast milk (the World Health Organization recommends not doing so before six months), your prolactin and oxytocin levels will decrease and gradually return to normal. In addition, your menstrual cycle will likely recommence.\nHow to cope with postpartum hormone changes\nThe postpartum period can be challenging, with hormonal imbalances often having a dramatic impact on factors such as your mood, your sleep quality, and your energy levels. But while hormonal changes and their aftereffects are pretty unavoidable, there are some things you can do to make this transitionary period at least a little more manageable.\n \n\n\nPrioritize sleep and rest. Though getting enough of it can be easier said than done, sleep plays a vital role in hormone regulation. Even if it’s impossible to sleep for long stretches, try to catch up on sleep when your baby naps, for example.\n\n\nTry to maintain a healthy diet. While you might have little time for meal prep, good nutrition is important for recovery and mood regulation. Where you can, try to opt for foods rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. And stay hydrated.\n\n\nDo some light exercise. Low-intensity activities like walking, stretching, or yoga can make a big difference to your mood and energy levels, but it’s essential to listen to your body and take it slow — there’s no rush to jump back into a fitness routine.\n\n\nMake time for self-care. Taking time for yourself doesn’t require a spa day, but it’s really important for your emotional and physical wellbeing. Try to set aside some time each day to take a bath, read a book, or just do something calming that you enjoy.\n\n\nGround your expectations. It’s normal to feel pressure to “bounce back” quickly after childbirth, but adjusting to life with a newborn is a process and it’s okay not to be perfect. Try to set realistic expectations for yourself and celebrate every small win.\n\n\nDon’t be afraid to ask for help. Hormonal shifts can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or guilt, so it’s important to lean on your partner, family, or friends. Remember, they may not recognize what you’re going through unless you tell them.\n\n\nSpeak to a professional. If you’re really struggling, or if you’re experiencing severe postpartum depression, you should seek professional help; for example, from your OB-GYN midwife or a mental health professional who specializes in postpartum care.\n\n\nAdapting to postpartum hormone changes can be something of a rollercoaster ride — you know there’ll be ups and downs, but they can still catch you off guard. And while there are times when the ride will feel exhilarating, at others it might feel overwhelming. \nBut it’s important to remember that while the sometimes unpredictable nature of your postpartum hormones can be challenging, many of the changes you’re experiencing are your body’s way of helping you adapt to motherhood — and you’ll eventually find your balance again.",

7085            "description":"Or something like that…While a lucky bunch of moms experience these sensations, many don’t. Studies have shown that around 20% of new parents don’t feel an immediate connection with their newborns — so if this sounds like you, take a deep breath. You’re not broken, and more importantly — you’re not a bad parent.Bonding is a process, and for some, it takes a little longer than expected. Throw in a particularly rough birth experience, postpartum hormones, a side order of exhaustion — or simply the massive life shift of becoming a parent — and it’s easy to see why.But just because you’re struggling to connect with your tot now doesn’t mean this will always be the case. Below, we’ll discuss why baby bonding can be so troublesome for some parents, and more importantly, what you can do to strengthen your parent-to-tot connection. Bonding isn’t always instant (and that’s fine!)Some parents feel an immediate connection with their child, while others can take weeks or months to build that attachment. Neither experience is wrong. No matter how tempting it may be to compare your childraising experiences, try to remind yourself that building a family isn’t a competition. All sorts of things can drive a wedge between you and your child, and there are many reasons why you might not experience that much-anticipated instant bond, including:\nA difficult or traumatic birth: If labor and delivery were challenging, you might feel physically and emotionally drained, making it tricky to channel whatever energy is left into bonding with your baby. \nPostpartum depression or anxiety: Mental health conditions can make it particularly difficult to develop a mother-baby connection. And while lacking a bond with your tot doesn’t always have its roots in postpartum depression, it’s always best to consult a medical professional if your depressive symptoms stay around for 2 weeks or more post-birth. \nExhaustion: The sleep deprivation and all-out exhaustion of caring for a newborn can make everything — including bonding — feel overwhelming.\nNICU stays: If your baby needed medical attention after birth, separation can delay the natural bonding process.\nA lack of support: It takes a village to raise a child. If you’re left without the help and support you need, this can hinder your ability to establish a strong bond with your tot.\nIs it normal to not feel connected to your baby during pregnancy?Yes! Some parents might feel an immediate sense of joy and excitement when they see a positive pregnancy test or hear their baby’s heartbeat for the first time, but others may take a little longer to warm up to the idea of parenthood — and that’s fine!You might feel:\nLike your pregnancy isn’t “real” yet: In early pregnancy, when there’s no visible bump or movements, it can be hard to truly grasp that a baby is growing inside you.\nScared the past might repeat itself: If you’ve had a miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, or anxiety about becoming a parent, you might hesitate to fully connect as a form of emotional self-protection.\nTired and sick: Morning sickness, fatigue, and body changes can sometimes make pregnancy feel more like a struggle than a magical experience.\nSigns you’re struggling to bond with your babyIt’s important to stress that bonding often doesn’t occur naturally. If you’re not feeling connected with your newborn, it’s better to acknowledge the issue and face it head on. So often, parents ignore the signs for fear that they’re at fault. Remember: there’s no shame in struggling to bond with your baby. Below, we’ve outlined some of the most common signs of bonding difficulties. And if any of the challenges below seem familiar, don’t worry — we’ll dig into how to overcome them, too.You struggle to understand your baby’s cuesBabies aren’t the best at communicating. Fortunately, the ability to externalize thoughts and desires will develop in due time — by which point, you’ll probably be longing for the goo-goo-gaa-gaa days… For now, you’ve got to interpret their cries, facial expressions, and body language. If you’re finding this hard (and who could blame you!) it may contribute to feelings of frustration or inadequacy, further distancing you emotionally. You’re struggling to soothe your babyWhen your baby cries, do you feel frustrated, confused, or helpless? Do you find it nearly impossible to comfort them? Knowing that it’s up to you to soothe your tot, but not understanding how, can drive a real wedge between the two of you. You feel isolated or disconnectedThe sudden shift from pregnancy to motherhood can feel like a complete handbrake turn, and parents — particularly moms — often talk about feeling invisible once their child is born. If you’re going through the motions of parenthood but don’t feel emotionally present, bonding can feel difficult. This might manifest as feeling detached from your baby or even feeling resentful about your new role as a parent.Negative emotions consistently outweigh positive feelingsOf course, all parents experience frustration from time to time, especially during sleepless nights or difficult feeding sessions. But if frustration, stress and resentment are the first emotions that come to mind when thinking about your little one, it may suggest that bonding is not progressing as it should.How to strengthen the bond with your babyIf bonding with your baby isn’t happening as naturally as you’d hoped, don’t stress. Love and connection grow over time, and there are plenty of ways to help it along. Here are a few simple things you can try:Cuddle up for skin-to-skin timeSnuggle your baby close to your bare chest and let them soak in your warmth, your heartbeat, and your scent. This simple act works wonders in making both of you feel safe, loved, and connected. Bonus? It also helps regulate your baby’s body temperature and stress levels.Chat, sing, and read to your babyYour voice is magic to your little one, even if you’re just narrating your morning coffee routine. Sing a lullaby, chat about your day, or grab a book and read aloud — your baby doesn’t care about the words, they just love hearing you.Look into their eyesBabies are wired to seek out faces, and yours is their favorite. Lock eyes, smile, and copy their expressions — it helps them feel seen and loved while strengthening your connection.Be there when they need youWhen your baby cries, try to respond as best you can. You won’t always get it right (and that’s okay), but every time you comfort them, you’re showing them they can trust you — and trust is the foundation of bonding.Wear your babyOkay, opinions may be a little divided on wearing our babies, but while it might feel a little strange at first, baby wearing isn’t a new phenomenon — the practice is commonplace outside of Western culture and has been for millennia. And besides, the benefits are plenty: your baby gets to feel close to you, hear your heartbeat, and be part of your day, all while you have your hands free. Take care of yourself, tooIt’s easy to put yourself last, but your well-being matters as much as your little one’s. Rest when you can, eat nourishing foods, and don’t be afraid to accept support from others. A more rested, supported you will find bonding much easier.Ask for professional help if you need itIf bonding still feels difficult after some time, or if you’re struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or detachment, talk to a professional. There’s no shame in getting support, and doing so can make a world of difference.Baby bonding for fathersFathers and non-birthing parents may also struggle with bonding, especially in the early days. Since they don’t experience pregnancy and birth firsthand, their connection with their baby may take longer to develop. Here are some ways dads can foster attachment:\nTake on caregiving tasks: Diaper changes, feedings, and bath time all create valuable bonding moments for dads.\nHave skin-to-skin time: Just like with moms, holding your baby close can build a strong emotional connection.\nBe involved in bedtime routines: Rocking, singing, and comforting your baby at night can be powerful bonding experiences.\nSpend one-on-one time: Even short moments of undivided attention — talking, playing, or simply holding your baby — help build a strong relationship over time.\nSupport your partner: A strong partnership creates a nurturing environment for your baby and allows both parents to bond in their own ways.\nStruggling to bond with your baby doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent — it means you’re human. Bonding isn’t always instant, and that’s okay. It’s a journey built on small moments of love, care, and connection. By being patient with yourself, engaging in bonding activities, and seeking support when needed, you’ll soon find that your relationship with your baby grows stronger every day.",

7108he first place, but you — and your little one — made it through together, and that’s a huge achievement. \nCarrying and delivering new life into the world is difficult. It’s to be expected that your body — the thing responsible for creating that wonderful, whining bundle of joy — will carry some evidence of the battle it’s been through. From your waist to your shoe size, your post-birth body will look and feel different from how it did pre-pregnancy. This is completely normal!\nBut adjusting to these changes can be tricky — particularly because your mind is just as affected by the birthing process as your body — but eventually, you’ll adjust to these postpartum changes in much the same way as you did with your baby bump. \nBelow, we’ll explain all the bodily changes postpartum life can bring with it.\nWill my body ever be the same after pregnancy?\nThe short answer is no, your body may never be exactly the same — but that’s not necessarily a bad thing!\nPregnancy and childbirth leave permanent marks — both physical and emotional — but all of these changes are signs of the incredible work your body has done. \nYour hips might be a little wider, your skin might have a few more stretch marks, and your breast size might have altered, but not all of these changes are as bad as they first may seem. Stretch marks, for example, tend to fade over time, and soon enough, you might even find yourself admiring them in the mirror, sort of like a souvenir of your journey through motherhood.\nYour body’s elasticity — especially around the belly area — might not snap back as quickly as you’d like, and some of your muscle tone could be affected, but your body will ‘grow into’ these c\nRaising a child is all about adapting to strange new situations, and bodily changes are all part of the package, so try to frame these postpartum transformations as positive reminders of your strength and resilience — easier said than done, we know!\n \nGiven enough time, the vast majority of mums learn to view their new bodies as a reflection of a hard-fought victory, not something to “fix”.\n \nThat said, there’s nothing to stop you from toning back up once you’re ready, and we’ll touch on this later on!\nWhat are the main changes to the body after childbirth?\nThe changes your body goes through after childbirth can be a bit of a mixed bag — some may feel subtle, while others can be quite dramatic. And of course, every mum’s experience is different, but generally you can expect to see some (or all) of the following changes:\nYour breasts\nWhether you’re breastfeeding or not, your breasts will go through significant changes. They may feel larger or heavier during the first few weeks as they start producing milk. Over time, your breasts will likely return to their pre-pregnancy size or may remain slightly larger or smaller, depending on how your body responds. \nYou might also notice some sagging — again, this is completely natural and down to the rapid growth of breast tissue causing the skin to stretch, making it weaker.\nYour pelvic floor\nPregnancy and childbirth take a toll on your pelvic muscles. These muscles stretch and can weaken, especially after vaginal delivery. This might lead to a leaky bladder, or a ‘heavy’ feeling between your vagina and anus, but these symptoms can be improved! Pelvic floor exercises like Kegels can help strengthen these muscles — and are easier than ever with Elvie Trainer — but it’s important to give yourself time to heal before jumping into a routine.\nYour belly\nIt may take some time for your belly to go back to a non-pregnant state. Even after delivery, your uterus is still shrinking back down to its pre-pregnancy size, which can take about six weeks. You might notice some sagging or softer skin around your abdomen, and it may feel tender for a while.\nIt’s also common for the two muscles that run down the stomach to separate during pregnancy — this is known as diastasis recti, and happens when the womb pushes the muscles apart, causing them to elongate and weaken. This sounds quite scary, but it’s nothing to worry about, as the stomach muscles will usually be back to normal by the time your tot’s around 8 weeks old. \nStill, it’s best to keep an eye on how you’re healing. You can check the size of the separation weekly by following these steps:\n\n\nLie on your back with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor.\n\n\nLook down at your tummy, raising your shoulders off the floor slightly.\n\n\nFeel the edges of the muscles just above and below your belly button, seeing how many fingers you can fit in between the gap.\n\n\nYour hair\nMany women experience hair loss around 3-6 months postpartum. This is because of hormonal changes that occur after birth, and is perfectly normal and (thankfully) temporary — you can expect your hair to start regrowing in a few months. It will usually return to its normal fullness, but some women notice their hair is a little thinner following childbirth.\nYour skin\nPregnancy hormones may cause skin changes like hyperpigmentation (darkening of certain areas), acne, or the infamous “linea nigra” (a dark line running down your belly). These will fade in most cases, but it may take some time for your skin to return to its usual tone. You should speak to your doctor if you’re concerned about any skin-related issues.\nHow long does it take for your body to go back to normal after birth?\nWithout sounding like a broken record, everybody heals differently, so there’s no “typical” healing timeline. However, below we’ve included a general overview of what most mothers can expect in the weeks and months postpartum:\n\n\nThe first few days. You’ll likely experience vaginal bleeding or discharge (known as lochia) and some cramping as your uterus begins to shrink. If you had a cesarean section, you’ll also have a healing incision.\n\n\nSix weeks postpartum. Most of the initial healing occurs during this time. Your uterus shrinks, and your body adjusts to life without pregnancy hormones. You may also experience emotional highs and lows as your hormone levels fluctuate. C-section scars typically heal within 6 weeks, but may take up to 2 years to fade.\n\n\n3-6 months postpartum. By this point, your body has mostly adjusted to its postpartum state, but some changes (like hair loss or stretched skin) may still be noticeable.\n\n\n6-12 months after birth. Most mums report feeling “back to normal” by this 
7108stage, though “normal” might look and feel a little different from how it did pre-birth. Stretch marks and loose skin may still be present, and how permanent these changes are will depend on your unique physiology.\n\n\nHow long does a postpartum body last?\nThere’s no definitive timeline for how long a postpartum body “lasts”. Some changes, like stretched skin or wider hips, may be permanent, while others, like hair loss or uterine shrinking, are temporary. Ultimately, everybody (and every body) is different, and recovery isn’t a race.\nThe most important thing is to embrace the journey and give yourself grace. Your postpartum body is a testament to your strength and resilience, and that’s something to be proud of.\nIs it harder to get in shape after pregnancy?\nIt can be more challenging to get in shape postpartum, but it’s far from impossible. Your body has been through a monumental event, so it’s important to approach fitness with patience and realistic expectations.\n \nThe main obstacles are often lack of time, sleep deprivation, and the physical toll of caring for a newborn. Your energy levels may be lower than usual, and that’s okay! Listen to your body and ease into exercise gradually — it sounds counterintuitive, but by taking things slowly, you’ll exponentially increase the speed of your recovery\nWhich type of workouts are the best post-pregnancy?\nGenerally, any type of exercise is great post-birth, provided you take things gently and slowly. Sprinting straight into the nearest gym and attempting a new PB deadlift won’t do you any favors here. Ease back into your fitness routine gently, and if you feel any pain, listen to your body!\nIf you rarely exercised before you became pregnant, the following exercises are a great way to stay fit and healthy:\n\n\nPelvic floor exercises (Kegels): Strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum.\n\n\nWalking: A low-impact way to ease back into movement and boost your mood.\n\n\nPostnatal yoga or pilates: Focuses on core strength and flexibility while promoting relaxation.\n\n\nLight strength training: Helps rebuild muscle tone, but avoid heavy lifting until you’re fully healed.\n\n\n \nJust remember to take things easy, and you should be A-okay.\nStomach-toning exercises\nWant to tone your tummy? Try the following super-simple routine to regain some of that pre-pregnancy core strength:\n \n\n\nLay on your side with your knees bent, letting your tummy completely relax. Breathe gently.\n\n\nAs you breathe out, gently draw in your stomach as if you’re wearing a corset, and while doing so, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles.\n\n\nHold for a count of 10 (remembering to breathe normally), then gently release.\n\n\nDid you know? Breastfeeding burns calories!\nHere’s some good news: breastfeeding burns extra calories — up to 500 a day! To put this into perspective, this is roughly the same as a 3-hour yoga session (though unfortunately, it won’t build your flexibility in the same way…)\nBetter still, breastfeeding also promotes a healthy immune system for your tot, reduces your risk of type 2 diabetes, and even certain types of breast and ovarian cancers. \nIf you choose to breastfeed though, just remember that your body needs plenty of nutrients to recover and produce milk, so focus on eating a balanced diet rather than cutting calories alongside nursing. \nNo matter what you think about your postpartum body, try to remember that it’s not about “bouncing back” but moving forward. Embrace the new version of yourself. Take pride in your graduation from expectant, anxious mom-to-be, to proud, battle-hardened parent!\n \nYou — and your body — achieved something incredible, and that deserves credit, not criticism. And if you find you’re having more down days than up, don’t be afraid to reach out to your partner, family, friends, or a medical professional. Pregnancy isn’t just physically tough; it’s an emotional rollercoaster too, so try to be kind to yourself.\n ",

7131            "description":"Plenty of moms feel a little down, depressed or anxious in the days following childbirth — it’s a relatively common component of the postpartum experience. However, there’s a huge difference between a low mood (usually caused by the general stress and turbulence a newborn typically brings with it) and an unshakeable sadness.\n\nKnowing the difference between postpartum depression and what’s often referred to simply as the “baby blues” can be tricky because symptoms tend to develop gradually, and emotional peaks and troughs are a feature of parenthood — not a bug. This said, we’d always re
7131commend that you speak to a medical professional if your mental health has suffered since giving birth.\n\nBut if you’re simply wondering how to spot the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression, we’ll tell you all you need to know below.\nWhat’s the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression?\nIt can be really tricky to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of early parenthood, especially if you’re a first-time mom. A little sadness (along with anxiety, stress, fear — you name it) is par for the course, but it’s crucial to learn the difference between the temporary, common experience of the baby blues, and the much more serious postpartum depression (PPD).\n\nBoth conditions share similar traits — such as feeling sad, overwhelmed, or anxious — but what separates them is a matter of severity and duration. The baby blues typically resolve on their own within a couple of weeks, while the impact of postpartum depression is more severe and can persist for months, usually requiring medical intervention.\n\nIf you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing the baby blues or something more serious, it’s always best to speak to a professional. By understanding the distinct characteristics of both, you can better gauge what might be going on and whether additional support is necessary.\nWhat are the baby blues?\nThe so-called “baby blues” are incredibly common, and while there isn’t a scientific consensus on the exact figures, it’s estimated that up to 85% of new moms will experience it to some degree in the days or weeks following childbirth. So, if you’re feeling a little off-kilter after bringing your tot home, know that you’re not alone.\n\nThe baby blues are characterized by feelings of sadness, irritability, anxiety, or mood swings. You might feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain down in the dumps, but these emotions are, for most moms, all part of the parenting package.\n\nYour brand-new routine combined with massive amounts of responsibility, aren’t exactly a recipe for serenity and calm… Season with a sprinkle of sleep deprivation and plummeting hormones, and it’s easy to see how caring for a newborn can take quite a toll on your mental health.\n\nSymptoms of the baby blues can include:\n\n\n\nFeeling overwhelmed or tearful\n\n\nIrritability or mood swings\n\n\nDifficulty sleeping (not related to your baby’s sleep habits!)\n\n\nA general sense of fatigue or exhaustion\n\n\nTrouble focusing or concentrating\n\n\nFeelings of self
7131-doubt or insecurity about your new role as a mother\n\n\n\nThe silver lining? These feelings usually don’t last long. Most women start to feel more like themselves within two weeks of giving birth, as their hormones stabilize and they get into a rhythm with their new routine.\nWhat causes the baby blues?\nStrictly speaking, there isn’t one single cause of the baby blues, but hormonal changes are generally assigned most of the blame… After childbirth, your levels of estrogen and progesterone drop dramatically, often playing havoc with your mood. But that’s only part of the story — other contributing factors include:\n\n\n\nSleep deprivation: As any new parent knows, getting a good night’s rest can be nearly impossible with a newborn. This lack of sleep can contribute to feelings of stress and exhaustion.\n\n\nPhysical recovery: Whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, your body is going through a recovery period that can cause physical discomfort, which may add to emotional stress.\n\n\nEmotional adjustment: The transition to motherhood (or parenthood) is a major life change that can leave anyone feeling unsettled. Even if you’re thrilled about your new baby, adjusting to a completely new routine and identity can feel overwhelming.\n\n\nCan your partner get baby blues?\nYes, although it’s much less talked about!\n\nWhile your partner might not have first-hand experience of childbirth (lucky!) they can still experience the baby blues. They won’t be contending with the physical and hormonal shifts that you’re blessed with, but they’ve still got to share the responsibilities of parenthood and adjust to all of the changes inherent in raising a family.\n\nPartners may feel:\n\n\n\nStress or anxiety about their new role\n\n\nExhaustion from lack of sleep (yes, it’s hard for everyone!)\n\n\nSadness about the lack of quality time with their partner due to the baby’s needs\n\n\nEmotional withdrawal or frustration with how their partner is coping\n\n\nWhat is postpartum depression (PPD)?\nPostpartum depression is a much more serious condition that goes way beyond the usual feelings of sadness or anxiety, sometimes persisting for months and preventing you from living a normal, functional life.\n\nPPD doesn’t typically resolve on its own, and it may worsen without treatment — in extreme cases, leading to serious harm to both you and your baby — which is why it’s so important to seek help if you’re struggling.\n\nSymptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) can include:\n\n\n\nPersistent sadness or hopelessness that lasts for more than a couple of weeks\n\n\nSevere anxiety or panic attacks that are difficult to control\n\n\nLoss of interest in activities you used to enjoy\n\n\nDifficulty bonding with your baby or feeling disconnected\n\n\nFeeling numb or “out of touch” with reality\n\n\nExtreme fatigue or exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest\n\n\nThoughts of harming yourself or your baby (this requires immediate medical attention!)\n\n\n\nRemember: even if you’re only experiencing one or two of the symptoms listed above, it’s best to seek help. The earlier PPD is detected, the easier it is to treat. \nIs postpartum depression the same as postnatal depression?\nYes. Postpartum depression and postnatal depression are often used interchangeably, and both describe the feelings of sadness, anxiety, and detachment that women sometimes experience after childbirth. The use of each term generally depends on regional preferences — “postpartum” is more common in the US, for example, while “postnatal” may be used more often in the UK.\nWhat causes postpartum depression?\nPostpartum depression can be linked to many of the same triggers as the baby blues, but certain factors may increase the risk of “normal” emotional ups and downs developing into a more serious condition. For example, one or more of the following factors may play a part in the development of PPD:\n\n\n\nGenetic factors: A family history of depression or anxiety may increase the likelihood of developing PPD.\n\n\nHormonal changes: As with the baby blues, the drop in estrogen and progesterone post-birth, as well as other hormones produced by the thyroid gland may leave you feeling sluggish, irritable, and depressed.\n\n\nPrevious mental health issues: If you’ve struggled with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety in the past, you may be more susceptible to PPD.\n\n\nLack of support: Feeling isolated or unsupported by family, friends, or a partner can contribute to feelings of loneliness or helplessness that can lead to PPD.\n\n\nStress: Financial pressures, relationship difficulties, or other life stresses can make you more vulnerable to postpartum depression.\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that there is no single cause of PPD — every mom is different, and again, if you suspect you may be suffering from postpartum depression, seek help.\nBaby blues vs PPD — the key differences\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nBaby Blues\n\n\nPostpartum Depression\n\n\n\n\nDuration\n\n\nTypically resolves within 2 weeks\n\n\nPer

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s important to see a a doctor:\n\n\n\nSymptoms of postpartum depression that last longer than two weeks\n\n\nDifficulty bonding with your baby or feeling emotionally disconnected\n\n\nPersistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety\n\n\nThoughts of self-harm or harming your baby\n\n\n\nEarly intervention is key to feeling better and getting the support you need. The good news is that postpartum depression is treatable, and with the right support, most parents make a full recovery.\n\nIf you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing the baby blues or postpartum depression, don’t hesitate to reach out to a doctor. There’s no shame in seeking help — taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your baby.\nTreatments for postpartum depression\nPostpartum depression can be a dark, lonely, frightening path to walk alone, but with support and treatment, you can make it through. Your first step should always be to consult a medical professional, after which, you’ll likely be referred to one or more of the following treatment paths:\nSelf help\nWhile professional help is crucial if you’re suffering from PPD, there are some things you can do to gain a little more control over your mental health alongside your chosen treatment method. Talking to your family and friends about how you’re feeling, making time for yourself (such as a relaxing bubble bath or a trip to the park), regular exercise, and eating a healthy diet can all give you a little boost in the right direction.\nTalking therapy\nTalking therapy, also known as psychotherapy, is often an effective treatment for postpartum depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are two types of therapies commonly used to treat depression.\nAntidepressants\nIn some cases, medication may be necessary to help manage the symptoms of postpartum depression. Antidepressants (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs) are commonly prescribed to help improve mood and alleviate feelings of sadness or hopelessness.\nRemember, if you’re at all worried about your mental health, please consult a medical professional as soon as possible.",

7154            "description":"Thankfully, we live in an era where self-care is now planted firmly within mainstream consciousness, and most people have some idea of what it means — it’s all the little things that, on the surface, might seem inconsequential, but can have a huge impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health.But if you’ve just become a mom, the only type of care you’re likely to be engaging in is for your little one. Suddenly, normal things you used to do all the time before having a baby — things like getting a haircut, taking leisurely walks, exercising, or having drinks with friends — feel like grand acts of indulgence. They require planning and often come served with a side of guilt… Leave your baby to do something for yourself? How dare you! Sigh.Self
7154-care is never selfish, and in this guide we look at the ways a new moms can prioritize looking after themselves as well as a tiny human.Why should moms make time for themselves?Moms certainly have a knack for putting themselves last, but they shouldn’t. Taking care of a baby is hard work. It’s emotionally and physically exhausting. Sleep is unpredictable, and so are showers (especially in those first few months). That’s why it’s more important than ever to carve out time to step outside of the “mom role” to relax and regroup. It’s good for the spirit, provides renewed energy, and actually helps us be better parents and partners.So, ditch the guilt! Embrace the notion that you’re allowed to take a much-needed break from washing bottles and making farm-animal noises — and enjoy it!Here are six tips on prioritising your own needs, even when you think you don’t have time. Even the smallest things can make a big impact on your happiness and wellbeing.6 tips for prioritizing self-care as a new momSo you want to take a little time for yourself — good on you! Below, you’ll find 6 of our top tips for making sure that every now and again, you get some much-needed me-time. Self-care as a mom (particularly when you’re a new mom) isn’t always easy, but here are some of the ways you can put yourself first — even if only occasionally.1. Ask for helpIt takes a village to raise a child, but there’s a weird stigma around asking for help — too many moms worry it makes them look like they can’t do it all or perfectly juggle everything. But asking for help doesn’t make you a failure, or ruin your chances of winning a non-existent “mother of the year” award. It’s a great feeling to hand off your little one to a capable friend, family member, or babysitter and get out of the house to do something for yourself — whether it’s to attend a fitness class, meet a friend for coffee, or spend some quality time with your partner. If you’re afraid to ask for help, you’ll simply never find time in the day for these things.2. Don’t skimp on sleepBeing sleep deprived and exhausted equals a sluggish, cranky mom. Studies show that sleep improves your health, mood, and memory, but when you have a newborn, it’s rare to get more than a few hours of sleep at a time — meaning getting enough shuteye is often far easier said than done. You’ve just got to remember: this part is only a phase, and your baby will develop a more predictable sleep pattern as they get older. Try to nap when you can — those dishes can wait — and rather than staying up late, make a point of getting into bed as early as possible. Try your hardest to avoid stimulating activities like staring at your phone before bed, which can rev your mind up instead of helping you drift off to sleep.  3. Just breatheTaking just ten minutes a day to do some mindful breathing will do wonders for your emotional and physical wellbeing. There are lots of meditation apps, including Headspace and Calm, that guide you through easy techniques to de-stress and chill out. Do a short session first thing in the morning or whenever you have a small window of free time — when your baby’s napping, for example — to help reset your thoughts.4. Get some fresh airExercise and mental health are inextricably linked, and for good reason — being physically active releases mood-boosting endorphins, but it can also increase your overall energy levels and even help you get better quality sleep.Now, we’re not suggesting you sign up for a triathlon — although, there’s nothing stopping you doing so in future — but just a little bit of exercise and fresh air each day can make a huge difference to your physical and emotional wellbeing. If you’re able, start gently by taking a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby green space, and build up to slightly more physically-demanding activities — such as yoga or a spin class — once you’re good and ready.5. Invest in yourselfWhen your life is a blur of nappy changes, rocking, burping, and feeding, it’s easy to wind up wearing the same clothes three days in a row, throwing your hair in a messy bun, and forgetting when you last showered. Thanks to pregnancy and childbirth, you may dread getting dressed because nothing fits besides leggings. But remember, being a mom isn’t the only thing that defines you — and investing in y
7154ourself doesn’t undermine your role as a caregiver. Consider buying a few nice clothes or treating yourself to some pamper products, or perhaps taking up that hobby you’ve always fancied giving a go — doing so can help you feel more like you again. 6. Talk to your partnerIf you have a partner, it’s likely they feel the exact same way you do. Life is different for both of you now that you’re parents, but it can be easy to focus on your new roles and routines as caregivers and forget to check in on each other. It’s not just about asking for help, either — it’s about communicating openly about your feelings, fears, and needs.Where you can, spending quality time together is equally important. Try to reclaim some couple-time and reaffirm why you make such a great team. Even a quick coffee date can make a world of difference when you’re used to the chaos of family life. Spend some intentional time together — that doesn’t involve diapers or napping schedules — and remind yourselves that you’re not just parents but partners, too.The 5 C’s of mental health — how they can helpWhen we talk about self-care, a big part of this is focusing on your mental health — and when it comes to taking care of yourself, a little structure can go a long way. The five principles outlined below are a great framework for keeping tabs on your mental health, and they’re incredibly effective for keeping your mind in a good place — even during the chaos of parenting:1. ConnectionFeeling connected to others is, as you might expect, a cornerstone of mental wellbeing. Whether it’s chatting with your friends, attending a mom-and-baby class, or spending a few minutes cuddling with your partner, finding ways to connect helps combat feelings of isolation and boosts your mood. So, if you’re feeling a little low, consider reaching out to your support system — even if it’s just a quick text.2. CareIf you hadn’t cottoned on by now, we think self-care is pretty important — without it, your mental health is likely to suffer. Carving out a few minutes to yourself might be difficult when you’re raising a child, but it should never feel impossible — if it does, it’s time to lean on your support network. 3. ConsistencyRoutines may feel impossible with a newborn, but even small, consistent habits can anchor your day. Whether it’s a daily walk, a quick journaling session, or committing to a set bedtime to get enough sleep, consistency helps reduce stress and gives you a sense of control over your daily life.4. CompassionBe kind to yourself. Parenthood is a journey filled with trial and error, and perfection is impossible. If you feel tired, overwhelmed, or like you’re falling short, remind yourself that you’re doing your best. Speak to yourself with the same understanding and encouragement you’d offer a friend.5. CuriosityStaying curious keeps your mind engaged and open to new possibilities. Whether it’s learning a new skill, diving into a book, or simply exploring the outside world with your little one, curiosity adds a sense of wonder and joy to your day. It’s also a great way to shift your focus away from stress and into something that excites or interests you.The bottom line on self-care as a new parentWhen you’re deep in the trenches of daily life as a new mom, it’s easy to forget that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your little one, but here’s the thing: neglecting yourself doesn’t do anyone any favours.As we mentioned before, it takes a village to raise a child. Having a solid support system is key. Whether it’s your partner, family, friends, or fellow moms, lean on them. They’re there to help lighten your load so you can focus on your mental wellbeing. And remember, even small acts of self-care can help — things like breathing exercises can make a surprising difference to how you feel.Better yet, it’s not just your mental health that stands to benefit from self-care — your immune system will get a much-needed boost from things like exercise, too. Chronic stress can really wear you down, but by carving out a moment or two of me-time, you can recharge your energy and show up as your best self for you and your tot. And no matter what, remember that you’re doing an amazing thing. Parenting is tough, and while there are plenty of tips and tricks, there’s no standard manual. As long as you and your baby are healthy, you’re doing great, so don’t be afraid to reward yourself every now and again!",

7177            "description":"As a working mom, it’s natural to feel conflicted about returning to work — it’s a huge step, after all, and one that’s often accompanied by worry, trepidation, and no little guilt. Of course, you may simply be wondering how you’re possibly going to juggle a full-time job again now you also have a little one to care for!\n \nDepending on where you work and who you work for — maternity leave policies differ between countries and employers — and the amount of time you’ve chosen to take off, you may be reentering the workforce after a few weeks, a few months, or a full year of leave. Either way, navigating this return can be tricky, logistically and emotionally.\n \nIn this guide, we explore some of the ways to ease your transition from at-home mom to working mom — helping you balance your professional and parental responsibilities without becoming crippled by guilt.\nWhy is it so hard to go back to work after maternity leave?\nEven if you feel ready (or perhaps even excited) to return to work following your maternity leave, it’s a pretty massive transition — particularly if you’ve been away for many months. Readjusting to the routine and responsibilities of your job can feel like a huge shift following the often slightly less structured days of maternity leave.\nHere are just some of the factors that can make balancing work and motherhood so challenging:\n\n\nSeparation anxiety: After having so much quality time to bond with your baby, the idea of being apart from them — and accepting that you may 
7177not be there for every little moment or milestone — can feel quite alien.\n\n\nGuilt: You might feel guilty about returning to work because you worry you’re abandoning your little one. It’s also natural to feel concerned about how they’re coping without you.\n\n\nShift in identity: During maternity leave, your primary role is as a caregiver. When you return to work, it can be difficult to balance this with your professional identity, and the two roles can often seem at odds with one another.\n\n\nThe logistics: The practical side of returning to work — organizing childcare, managing a different schedule, adjusting to pumping rather than breastfeeding — can introduce lots of new logistical challenges.\n\n\nExhaustion and fatigue: Balancing a job with caring for a baby is a lot to take on, and it can feel overwhelming if you’re frequently switching between these two roles without time in between to recharge.\n\n\nHow to cope with returning to work after maternity leave\nIt’s important to recognize that transitioning back to work post-baby is a big adjustment, and you’re unlikely to be performing at your peak from day one — your employer shouldn’t expect this, either. Whether you feel excited, anxious, or a mix of both, give yourself permission to ease back into the routine and find a balance that works for you and your family.\nExplore the option of “phasing in”\nWhen it’s time to return to work after maternity leave, diving head-first back into your “old” routine is almost certainly going to feel pretty overwhelming. The likelihood is that, after weeks or months of dirty diapers and limited sleep, being thrust straight into a big project or sitting through back-to-back meetings might be a little much for your first week back.\nThis is why many working moms opt for a phased return to work, which involves a gentler and more gradual reintroduction to your role — your employer may allow you to work shorter days (or weeks) at first, for instance, easing the transition and ensuring you don’t become overburdened too quickly.\nMany companies also offer “keeping in touch” days, where you’re able to work a few days during your maternity leave. These can help you avoid feeling totally “out of the loop” when you return, while also enabling you to maintain contact with co-workers while you’re away.\nSpeak to your employer about flexible working\nThe 2020s working landscape has been defined by a certain global health catastrophe, with one upshot being the swift adoption by many companies of remote working. And while there’s since been much debate about whether working from home is a good thing for employee productivity, it’s certainly a boon for work-life balance.\nMany countries now implement laws around the right to request flexible work, and for moms returning to work following maternity leave, the ability to work remotely — or at least split their time between the office and the home — can make it easier to adjust to being at work again, forgoing challenges like long, day-after-day commutes.\nThis can make things more challenging, of course — it can be difficult to ignore your baby’s cries if you’re in a meeting in the next room, for example — so it’s important to set boundaries for yourself.\nEstablish a pumping routine, if needed\nIf you choose (and you’re able) to breastfeed your little one, going back to work means they’ll no longer have unfettered access to your boob. In most cases, this means you’ll need to master the art of pumping while apart from your baby. \nFirst, it’s essential to discuss your need to pump with your employer — if you’re going back into an office, it’s their responsibility to ensure there’s a private space for you to pump (other than a restroom) and that you have adequate breaks in order to do so — although of course, if you opt for a discreet, hands-free pump such as Elvie Stride, it’s possible to pump at work without even leaving your desk.\nChoosing the right breast pump is important, but it’s equally essential to take it for a “test run” or two before returning to work. This will help you get used to the act and routine of pumping before you start to pump “for real”.\nSet clear boundaries with your employer\nWhen you return to work after having a baby, it’s likely 
7177your working day won’t look exactly the same as it did before — you may have to account for new factors such as childcare arrangements, for example, which might require some added leeway from your employer. It therefore might not be possible for you to stay late at short notice or be available “out of hours”.\nYou can’t assume your boss will be understanding of your needs, however, and this is why it’s crucial to communicate these clearly in advance of your return to work. There’ll likely need to be some give and take, but let your employer know in no uncertain terms what you can realistically commit to, to ensure there’s no ambiguity.\n \nAt the same time, be mindful of how you communicate your needs. Instead of framing them as limitations, you might say: “To make sure I can be fully present during work hours, I’ll need to leave by 5 PM each day to pick up my child from daycare.” The key is to find a balance that works for you, your family, and your employer.\nEstablish a strong support network\nReturning to work after maternity leave is an emotional transition as much as a logistical one, but you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone. Whether it’s your partner, family members, friends, or fellow working moms who understand what you’re going through, surrounding yourself with a solid support system is a crucial part of the adjustment.\nIf possible, try to connect with colleagues who are also parents to exchange advice and support each other through the ups and downs. Some workplaces even have parenting support groups or mentorship programs that can offer additional guidance.\n \nAt home, meanwhile, don’t be afraid to delegate tasks. Whether it’s splitting household responsibilities with your partner or seeking additional help from family members, ensuring you’re not carrying the full load alone can ease the burden on you as you return to work.\nCut yourself some slack\nIn an ideal world, you’d settle back into your new (old) routine as if you’d never been away, but the likelihood is the transition won’t be quite so simple. And that’s okay — even for the most confidently career-minded women, going back to work after giving birth requires a period of adjustment, and may come with a few first-week wobbles.\nYou can’t expect yourself to be star employee material on your first day back, and 
7177your employer should be mindful of this, too — it’ll inevitably take some time for you to get used to spending a full day at work again, and no one can blame you if you forget to unmute yourself in meetings or have to ask a colleague where an important document is stored.\nJust remember to be patient with yourself as you navigate this transition. Just like adjusting to life with a newborn took time, settling back into your professional role will too. Give yourself grace on the tough days, celebrate the small wins, and over time you’ll regain confidence in your role and find a balance that works for you and your family.\n",

7200            "description":"One such pain is De Quervain Syndrome — more commonly referred to as “mommy thumb” or “mother’s thumb”. So, if you’re experiencing unexplained aches and throbs in the wrist area, this is probably what’s to blame. But what causes mommy thumb? How can you be sure that you’re suffering from it, and when should you seek medical help? Read on and find out.What is “mommy thumb”\/“mother’s thumb”?De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis goes by many names: mommy’s thumb, mother’s thumb, and baby wrist. It’s a condition caused by an inflammation of the tendons along the thumb side of the wrist. These tendons run through a narrow tunnel at the base of the thumb (you can see them by lifting your thumb up), and when they’re overused or irritated, the sheath around them flares up and swells. The result? Pain, stiffness and difficulty moving the thumb or wrist. Not much fun. De Quervain Syndrome isn’t exclusive to moms — or parents for that matter — but all of the most common actions taken during child rearing (like lifting your little one, supporting their head, and twisting your wrist during nappy changes) can take a toll over time. The good news is that it’s a common condition, and one we know a lot about — making it relatively easy to treat. How long does mommy thumb last?It depends on how quickly you realize you’re suffering from it. Because mommy thumb is an inflammatory ailment, letting it go untreated can increase the severity of the condition. Mild cases might resolve in a few weeks with proper care, while more severe cases could persist for months if left untreated, so it’s best to nip it in the bud!Ignoring the pain and just hoping it'll go away on its own is not the answer. This can — and often will — lead to chronic discomfort, and as we’re sure you’ll agree, that’s not going to be ideal while dealing with a needy tot or yet another sleepless night. In short, listen to your body!What causes De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis?Repetitive strain. When you repeatedly use your wrist and thumb in the same way, you’re putt
7200ing extra pressure on those tendons, which can lead to irritation and inflammation. You might not expect to get injured from doing such small, simple tasks, but over time, these movements can cause real damage. For parents, the most common contributors to De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis include:\nLifting your baby: Newborns might be tiny, but they’re not weightless, and repeatedly lifting and carrying them can strain your wrist.\nPoor ergonomics: Supporting your baby’s head or holding a bottle at awkward angles can put undue stress on your tendons.\nBreastfeeding positions: Cradling your baby’s head during feeding sessions might require your wrist to stay in a fixed, strained position for extended periods.\nHousehold chores: Activities like folding laundry, chopping vegetables, or even scrolling on your phone can exacerbate the issue.\nHormonal changes: The drop in hormones such as estrogen that occurs postpartum can also make your joints more vulnerable. \nIt’s also worth noting that dads can get “mommy” thumb too — especially if they’re often picking your baby or toddler up! Will mother’s thumb go away on its own?It depends. In very mild cases, resting your wrist and avoiding the motions responsible for the damage (perhaps easier said than done!) might be enough to resolve the problem. Most cases of mother’s thumb require some form of treatment to heal properly, lest the inflammation gets even worse, causing severe pain and decreased mobility. Not ideal if you’re a new parent — you kind of need your hands — so it’s best to be proactive and seek medical advice if you’re experiencing persistent pain or discomfort.How to treat mother’s thumbWhile mommy’s thumb may go away on its own through giving your hands and wrist a rest (if that’s even possible), many cases will require some form of treatment. Fortunately, most of these treatment options are fairly straightforward and not particularly invasive. Here’s a breakdown of your options:Rest and modify your activitiesThe first step is to give your wrist a break. This might mean:\nUsing your forearm to push your pram or lift your baby, instead of your wrist.\nSwitching up feeding positions to reduce strain.\nUsing a baby harness.\nAsking for help with household tasks that require repetitive wrist movements.\nIce therapyBrrrr. Applying an ice pack to the affected area for 10-15 minutes at a time can help reduce swelling and numb the pain. Just be sure to wrap the ice in a cloth to protect your skin.Wrist bracesA thumb spica splint or wrist brace can immobilize your wrist and thumb, giving the inflamed tendons a chance to heal. These are often available at pharmacies or online.Over-the-counter pain reliefNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Advil, can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you’re breastfeeding, though!Physical therapyA physical therapist can teach you exercises to strengthen the muscles around your wrist and improve flexibility. They can also show you ways to modify your movements to avoid aggravating the condition.Steroid injectionsHopefully, your case of mommy thumb won’t come to this, but for more severe cases, a doctor might recommend a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation. This is a quick and effective treatment, though it’s typically reserved for cases where other measures haven’t worked.Will exercise treat (or prevent) mommy thumb?It can — but it’s always best to check with your doctor before using exercises to relieve your pain. If they give you the all-clear, feel free to try some of the exercises below:Thumb stretches\nHold your hand out with your palm facing up.\nUse your opposite hand to gently pull your thumb back until you feel a stretch.\nHold for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.\nWrist flexor stretch\nExtend your arm in front of you with your palm facing up.\nUse your other hand to gently pull your fingers back toward your body.\nHold the stretch for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.\nThumb oppositionTouch the tip of your thumb to the tip of each finger on the same hand, forming an “O” shape. Repeat the sequence 5-10 times, focusing on smooth, controlled movements.Tendon gliding exercisesMake a fist with your hand, then slowly extend your fingers outward, one at a time. Return to the starting position and repeat 5-10 times.Grip strengtheningSqueeze a soft stress ball or rolled-up sock for a few seconds, then release. Perform 10-15 repetitions daily, ensuring no sharp pain occurs.When should I see a doctor?If you’ve tried at-home remedies and your symptoms aren’t improving after a few weeks, it’s time to have a chat with your doctor. If you experience any of the issues below, you should ask for medical help:\nThe pain is severe and interferes with your daily activities.\nYou notice a visible deformity or significant swelling in y
7200our wrist.\nYou’re experiencing numbness or tingling in your fingers, which could indicate nerve involvement.\nMany moms choose not to ask for help for fear of causing a fuss, but if you think something’s wrong you should really get it fixed — if not for you, then for your baby! A doctor can assess the severity of your condition and recommend the best course of action. In rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to release the tendons and relieve pressure. Mommy thumb might be an unwelcome addition to your postpartum experience, but the good news is that it’s treatable. With a combination of rest, targeted therapies, and a little patience, you’ll be back to cuddling your baby without pain in no time. And remember, it’s okay to ask for help — your hands will thank you for it!",

7223            "description":"The terms may differ — some people call it “mommy brain”, while others have dubbed it “pregnancy brain”, “baby brain”, or — and this is our personal fave — “momnesia”. What gives? Is parenthood going to turn your mind to mush? Does raising a newborn doom all those hard-earned IQ points to plummet? Well, no, not exactly — it’s a little more complicated than that.Postpartum brain fog is a real thing, but if you’ll pardon the pun, it’s nothing to lose your marbles over.Is baby brain brain real?Yes — very real!Numerous studies have delved into the phenomenon of “baby brain” or “mommy brain”. And while it’s not entirely understood, researchers do agree that cognitive changes during and after pregnancy do happen.For example, one study published in Nature Neuroscience found that pregnancy causes long-lasting structural changes in the brain — including the areas related to social cognition,  bonding, and memory. And since around 80% of moms report some degree of memory loss, this might explain why many parents are far more adept at attending to their baby’s needs rather than, say, remembering where they put their car keys…But before you start despairing, it’s important to know that these changes aren’t permanent. Your intelligence won’t suddenly take a nose dive. In fact, some parents don’t notice any cognitive decline whatsoever, and while you might notice changes in some areas, these neural shifts also correlate with nesting behaviors and parental bonding.In other words, it’s best to think of baby brain as more of a temporary rejig — a reallocation of grey matter resources, pumping more power to the more crucial parts of the brain. What causes baby brain?There’s no single cause of baby brain, and because research is rather limited, pinpointing the most likely factors is more educated guess than evidence-based, but at present, science puts it down to:\nHormonal changes: Pregnancy and postpartum bring about significant hormonal shifts, particularly in oestrogen and progesterone. The
7223se hormones can affect brain function, mood, and memory.\nSleep deprivation: Let’s face it — uninterrupted sleep is nigh-on impossible with a newborn, and being sleep deprived can have a profound impact on cognitive function, making it harder to concentrate and remember things.\nStress and anxiety: Caring for a baby can be stressful, and chronic stress can impair your ability to focus and process information.\nChanges in priorities: Your brain is rewiring itself to prioritize your baby’s needs, which might mean other things temporarily take a backseat.\nPhysical and emotional exhaustion: The physical toll of pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn can leave you feeling mentally drained.\nWhat are the symptoms of mommy brain?The symptoms of mommy or baby brain can feel a bit like the mental equivalent of walking through a foggy field: everything’s a bit slower, a bit harder to grasp. You might find yourself blanking on names, dates, or even why you walked into a room; arguably one of the most frustrating aspects of the whole experience.Of course, the symptoms — and their severity — differ from one mom to the next. On top of forgetfulness, you might feel a general sense of mental sluggishness. Concentration might take a hit — things like reading a book or focusing on a task can feel far more taxing than usual. How to manage the symptoms of baby brainYou might not be able to prevent postpartum brain fog, but fortunately, there are plenty of ways to manage the symptoms. For example:Get plenty of sleepYes, we know this is easier said than done when you’re up all night feeding or soothing your little one. But, if at all possible, try to sleep when your baby sleeps, even if it means taking naps during the day. Sleep is essential for cognitive function, and even small increments can make a difference. If your baby’s restlessness is keeping you up at all hours, you might also want to check out our guide to encouraging self-soothing — it’s packed with tips on helping your tot get a good nights’ rest. Stay organizedTry to write things down, set reminders on your phone, or use a planner to keep track of appointments and to-do lists. Apps like Google Keep or Notion can be lifesavers for managing the chaos of parenthood, but your solutions don’t need to be high-tech. Post-it notes, wall calendars, or even just a hastily scribbled message on the back of your hand — use whatever works for you!Exercise regularlyEven just a simple stroll around the block can do wonders for your mental clarity. Exercise boosts endorphins and improves blood flow to the brain, helping to alleviate stress and improve focus. Giving your tot a little outdoor time can help to regulate their sleep cycle, too — improving your chances of catching a few more ZZZs of your own!Eat brain-boosting foodsA balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in salmon and walnuts), antioxidants (like berries), and whole grains can support brain health. Supplements are an option, too — but always check that they’re safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, and consult your doctor just to be on the safe side!Stay hydratedDehydration is notorious for exasperating brain fog, so don’t forget to drink plenty of water! The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women drink 8 to 12 cups (64 to 96 ounces) of water every day. What does brain fog feel like?Brain fog is often described as a mental cloudiness or a sense of being “out of it”. You might feel like your thoughts are moving through treacle, or that you’re constantly one step behind. Tasks that once felt second nature may now seem daunting, and you might find yourself forgetting even the simplest things, like why you walked into a room.How long does postpartum brain fog last?There’s no definitive timeline for how long baby brain lasts, as it varies from person to person. For some, the symptoms begin to improve a few months after giving birth, while for others, they may linger for up to a year or more. Factors like sleep, stress levels, and overall health can all influence how quickly you recover.The good news is that your brain does bounce back. The cognitive changes associated with pregnancy and postpartum are temporary, and some studies suggest that having a baby may even enhance certain skills, like emotional intelligence and multitasking, in the long run.Baby brain, while frustrating, is an inevitable part of most moms’ parenting journeys. Instead of trying to fight it, it’s better to embrace the change, and adapt your daily habits to lessen the impacts as best you can. With time, a little patience, and plenty of self
7223-care, the dreaded brain fog should lift — it might just take some time, so hang in there!",

7246            "description":"Some level of worry is to be expected after having your baby — especially if it’s your first. However, there comes a point in some parents’ journey where the levels of emotional strain don’t fall within a manageable range. \nIf you’re fretting day in and day out, and your parenting worries have become all-consuming, you’re likely suffering from postpartum anxiety. In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the condition — including what you can do to combat it.\nWhat is postpartum anxiety?\nPostpartum anxiety (PPA) is when the usual “new parent nerves” get dialed up to an extreme level. It’s more than just feeling a little worried or stressed. It’s an almost constant sense of fear, unease, or panic that can make everyday life feel overwhelming. You might find your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, or yourself feeling restless and on edge.\nA lot of the anxiety tends to focus on your baby — are they okay? Are you doing enough as a parent? But it can also spill over into other areas of life, making it hard to focus or relax. Some parents also deal with intrusive thoughts — unwanted, upsetting ideas that pop into your mind out of nowhere and leave you feeling rattled.\nWhat does postpartum anxiety feel like?\nImagine being stuck in a loop of “what if” scenarios. What if my baby stops breathing in their sleep? What if I’m not feeding them properly? What if I’m not good enough as a parent? \nGiven the lack of peace and quiet all around you, having this unwelcome soundtrack playing at full blast in your mind can be really tough to deal with. \nPhysically, postpartum anxiety can feel like your body is always on high alert — a little like someone’s flicked on the fight or flight switch in your head. You might notice tension in your shoulders or jaw, an upset stomach, or an inability to sit still. Sleep might be difficult, too — not because your baby’s refusing to switch off (though that’s always a risk!), but because your brain simply won’t wind down. Not fun.\nIn a nutshell, postpartum anxiety can be isolating and exhausting in equal measures — but it’s important not to feel guilty for struggling. It’s always best to seek help.\nHow common is postpartum anxiety?\nWhile postpartum depression often gets more attention, postpartum anxiety is just as common. Studies estimate that around 11-21% of new moms experience postpartum anxiety, although some experts believe the number could be higher due to underreporting.\nIt’s also worth mentioning that postpartum anxiety doesn’t exclusively affect moms. Fathers and non-birthing parents can also experience anxiety after the arrival of a baby, due to the shift in lifestyle, changes in responsibilities, and of course, sleep deprivation. Parenthood is tough, so even if you’re dealing with all the chaos just fine, it’s important to check in with your partner.\nWhat’s the difference between postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression?\nThey’re often talked about together — and mistakenly confused as one in the same — but PPA and PPD are distinct conditions. \
7246n\n\nPPD tends to involve feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in the things you used to enjoy. You might feel disconnected from your baby, or unsure of your ability to care for them or bond with them.\n\n\nPPA is more to do with fear and worry. It’s a hyper-alert, nervous, jittery feeling. The sensation of always being “on-edge”. That said, the two conditions can overlap, and it’s possible to experience both at once.\n\n\n \nIt’s also crucial not to confuse the baby blues with either of the conditions mentioned above. Feeling a bit down or tearful in the first week after giving birth is incredibly common, but if your symptoms last longer than two weeks, there’s a strong chance you’re suffering from PPA or PPD.\nHow long does it take for postpartum anxiety to go away?\nThere’s no set timeline or recovery period for postpartum anxiety. For some parents the symptoms may ease up after only a few weeks, while for others, the feeling may linger for months — particularly if no help is sought.\nPostpartum anxiety can (and should) be treated, so if you’re not feeling like yourself and it’s interfering with your ability to care for your tot and enjoy your new chapter, it’s crucial that you reach out for help sooner rather than later.\nWhat are the symptoms of postpartum anxiety?\nPostpartum anxiety can show up in different ways for different people, but some common signs include:\n\n\nWorrying constantly, especially about your baby’s safety or your parenting skills.\n\n\nIntrusive thoughts that won’t go away, no matter how hard you try.\n\n\nFeeling physically tense, like a racing heart, sweaty palms, or a tight chest.\n\n\nStruggling to concentrate or feeling scatterbrained.\n\n\nHaving trouble relaxing, even when everything seems fine.\n\n\nFinding it hard to sleep, even when the baby’s sleeping.\n\n\n \nIf any of this sounds familiar and it’s making life harder than 
7246it needs to be, it’s time to think about getting some extra support.\nWhat causes postpartum anxiety?\nThere’s no single cause of postpartum anxiety. It’s a mix of all kinds of things: hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and the sheer pressure of taking care of a tiny human. Parenting is a lot.\nAfter giving birth, your hormone levels drop dramatically (particularly your levels of estrogen and progestogen), and this can mess with your mood and make you far more prone to stress. \nLack of sleep is another big one. Being up at all hours with a newborn can leave you feeling frazzled and make it harder to keep your worries in check. And to make matters worse, society’s pressure to be the perfect parent doesn’t help much — especially in the age of social media. Parental doomscrolling is a thing. \nOther influencing factors may include a history of anxiety, mental health issues, or a tough birth experience.\nWhat are the risk factors for postpartum anxiety?\nSome things can increase your chances of dealing with postpartum anxiety, such as:\n\n\nA personal or family history of anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles.\n\n\nComplications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.\n\n\nHaving a premature or medically fragile baby.\n\n\nNot having enough support from family or friends.\n\n\nStressful situations, like money troubles or relationship issues.\n\n\nChallenges with breastfeeding or adjusting to your new role as a parent.\n\n\n \nJust because you have one or more of these risk factors doesn’t mean postpartum anxiety is a given, but it’s good to be aware so you can take steps to look after yourself.\nManaging postpartum anxiety\nDealing with postpartum anxiety can feel overwhelming , but there are ways to manage the symptoms. Of course, it’s always best to seek professional support, but these factors can help too:\n\n\nSleep: Don’t underestimate the power of sleep. It’s easier said than done with a newborn, but even short naps can make a big difference. Try swapping shifts with a partner or asking a friend or family member to help out so you can grab some rest.\n\n\nTalking it out: Talking to someone you trust is also huge. Whether it’s a partner, friend, or therapist, sharing how you’re feeling can lighten the load. If therapy feels like a good step, look into postpartum specialists who can guide you through tailored strategies to manage anxiety.\n\n\nDeep breathing: Deep breathing exercises or mindfulness practices can be game-changers for calming your racing mind. Even just a few minutes a day of focused breathing or guided meditation can help reset your stress levels.\n\n\nBeing fair to yourself: Set realistic expectations for yourself. You don’t have to be a perfect parent (spoiler: nobody is!). Focus on small wins, like accomplishing a household chore or getting your baby off to sleep soundly, and try to let go of the pressure to do it all.\n\n\n \nPostpartum anxiety is tough, but it’s so important not to suffer through it alone. Talk to your friends, lean on your family, and take things one day at a time. With time things will get better, but in the meantime, don’t be afraid to seek help.\n",

7269            "description":"1. They’re overtired\nOne of the most common culprits behind a tot’s refusal to nap? Overtiredness.\nBut how can being too tired prevent a baby from sleeping?\nWhile it might seem strange, overtiredness can be just as disruptive as getting too much sleep. Of course, it’s not the end of the world if your baby misses a nap “window”, and they won’t instantly move beyond tiredness into an irretrievable state of sleep refusal, but being awake for too long can sometimes make it more difficult for them to wind down.\nThe first step to preventing overtiredness is paying close attention to your baby’s sleep cues. Signs like yawning and eye rubbing indicate that your baby is ready for a nap. But it’s equally important to focus on soothing techniques when they are tired — activities such as gentle rocking or a soothing lullaby can help them settle to sleep, even if you miss those early cues.\n2. They’re not tired\nOn the flip side, sometimes babies simply aren’t tired enough to fall asleep. If your baby has recently woken up from a long sleep, or if they haven’t been active enough during their wake window, they might not feel the need to nap. Babies — like us adults — need to expend energy before they’re ready to rest.\nMaking sure they are really tired enough for bedtime is key — you want their adenosine (the hormone that promotes ‘sleep drive’) to be high enough; so if in doubt, putting them to bed 10-15 mins later can make all the difference.\nIt’s also important to ensure they have plenty of engaging, age-appropriate playtime and stimulation during their wake windows. For younger tots, this might include tummy time or sensory activities, while older babies might benefit from some supervised exploration, or a session in a jumper.\nOutdoor time can be super helpful, too, as exposure to natural light helps to keep your little one’s internal clock ticking over properly, and will help them to build a more solid sleep schedule.\n3. They need changing\nA wet or dirty diaper is another common reason for napping issues. It’s not hard to see why — would you want to fall asleep in a soiled diaper?!\nFortunately, avoiding this scenario is very simple — just ensure your tot has a fresh diaper before every nap. And if your baby tends to wet their diaper through quickly, consider using a more absorbent overnight diaper, or adding a removable ‘booster’ pad.\nThis said, if your baby is still refusing to nap despite their sparkling clean underwear, double-check the rest of their outfit. Could they be too hot? Too cold? Adjust accordingly, and your little one should find it much easier to drift off.\n4: They’re in “sleep regression”\nThe infamous 4-month sleep regression can wreak havoc on even the best baby sleep routines. During this phase, your baby’s sleep patterns mature, becoming more like those of an adult. While this is a normal and healthy developmental milestone, it often leads to shorter naps and more frequent night wakings.\nThe key to surviving the 4-month sleep regression is consistency. Stick to your baby’s regular sleep schedule as much as possible, and continue with their usual nap and bedtime routines. Offering extra soothing during this time, such as rocking, patting, or using white noise, can help ease the transition.\nRemember, this regression is temporary, and with patience and persistence, your baby will return to more predictable sleep patterns in a few weeks.\n5. They need a calmer sleeping environment\nBabies are unbelievably sensitive to their surroundings, and an overstimulating environment can make it difficult for them to settle down and get some shuteye. Bright lights, loud noises, or even certain odors can all affect their sleep.\nCreating a calming environment is essential. Here are some of the ways you can help create the perfect sleep environment for your little one:\n\n\nDarken the room with blackout curtains\n\n\nUse white noise to mask background sounds\n\n\nKeep the temperature at a comfortable, cozy level — ideally between 68–72°F (20–22°C)\n\n\nIntroduce a soothing pre-nap routine with calming activities like reading or a lullaby\n\n\nEstablish a consistent sleep schedule, including naps, to promote a healthy routine\n\n\n6. They need a better schedule\nBabies thrive on routine, and an inconsistent or misaligned nap schedule can lead to frequent battles at naptime. If your baby’s naps are too short or too far apart, they may struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep.\nTo create an effective schedule, start by determining your baby’s age-appropriate nap needs. For example, newborns might need four or more naps a day, while older babies might consolidate to two or three.\nStick to the same wake-up time each morning and aim for consistent nap times, adjusting slightly as needed to align with their natural sleep rhythms. Over time, your baby will come to expect naps at the same times each day, making the process much smoother.\nHow often should my baby nap?\nThe number of naps your baby needs varies by age. Newborns, for example, can sleep for around 16-18 hours a day (lucky or what?!), spread across several naps throughout the day and night. By 6 months of age, most babies take 2-3 naps per day, totaling around 3-4 hours of daytime sleep — though it’s very individual and can be much less than this! As they approach their first birthday, most tots will be happy with just a single nap a day.\nNot all babies are the same, though. Some might drop naps earlier or later than average, so don’t be too concerned if your little one’s naps are a little out of the “ordinary”. And if you do suspect something else is at play, try keeping a sleep diary — this can help you track patterns, and can prove invaluable should you choose to consult a pediatrician later on down the line.\nShould I put my baby to bed early if they’ve missed a nap?\nYes, putting your baby to bed earlier can often help compensate for a missed nap. When babies miss naps, they accumulate “sleep debt,” which can make it harder for them to settle at bedtime. Moving bedtime forward by 15-30 minutes can help offset this.\nHowever, be mindful not to push bedtime too early, as this could lead to an early-morning wake-up. Striking the right balance is key, and you may 
7269need to experiment to find the sweet spot for your baby. If they seem especially overtired, a calming bedtime routine such as a warm bath and a soothing lullaby can help them wind down.\nIs it normal for babies to fight naps?\nOf course! Nap resistance is a common issue, and can be affected by all sorts of factors; teething, growth spurts, sleep regression, overstimulation, overtiredness — you name it.\nBut while it can be frustrating, it’s typically a phase that passes with time. Moreover, sometimes it’s worth relenting and simply getting on with your day — get out and about with your baby and if they fall asleep in their pram or in the sling, that’s okay! You don’t need to spend all day in a dark room waiting for them to nap at the expense of your mental health.\nNaptime can certainly be tricky, but with patience, adaptability, and a little consistency, you’ll find a rhythm that works for both you and your baby.

7292            "description":" \nParenting is an immense responsibility. Keeping your child safe and happy while balancing the everyday demands of adult life is no mean feat. And if you’re juggling a full-time career, raising your child as a single parent, or you already suffer from mental health issues, mom burnout is even more likely. \nIf you’re struggling, remember that you’re not alone. Recent research found that more than half (57%) of parents are burned out. Raising a child may be one of the most rewarding life experiences, but it’s also regarded as one of the most difficult, so don’t beat yourself up if you’re feeling like it’s all getting a bit much.\n \nBut while there’s no magic cure for mom burnout, there are ways to minimize its impact on your day-to-day life.\nWhat is mom burnout?\nMom burnout (sometimes referred to as parental burnout) is a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion caused by the chronic stress of parenting.\n \nIt’s particularly challenging to deal with because, unlike the stress of a 9-5 job, its cause cannot be so easily escaped. There are no weekends off, and the day doesn’t end at 5 PM. You’re in it for the long haul, and this realization alone can often feel overwhelming.\nUnlike general stress, mom burnout isn’t just about being overworked or tired — it’s a much deeper sense of depletion. You might feel detached from your role as a parent, for example. Some parents describe the level of exhaustion as feeling like they’re ‘running on fumes’. In other words, it’s the kind of stress that can’t be solved by a quick nap or a 15-minute stroll.\n \nIs mom burnout the same as postpartum depression?\nNo. While mom burnout and PPD share some overlapping symptoms, they’re not the same thing. Postpartum depression is a clinical condition that often requires professional attention. Parental burnout isn’t officially recognized as a mental health condition, but that doesn’t make it any less real. \nRemember: Mood changes and feelings of anxiety or unhappiness lasting longer than 2 weeks post-birth may be signs of postpartum depression. If your low mood is accompanied by thoughts about hurting yourself or your baby, or you’re unable to manage you and your baby’s essential daily needs, call your doctor, nurse, or midwife.\nHow do I tell if I’m suffering from mom burnout?\nRaising a little one is tricky even when you’ve got all of the support you need, but for parents contending with factors like demanding careers, judgemental families, or a lack of stability, burnout is even more likely.\nThe bottom line is that while certain things might increase its likelihood, parental burnout can impact anyone, and it doesn’t mean you’re failing as a mom. In fact, it’s quite the opposite — most of the stress you’re feeling can be traced back to an intense desire to give your baby the best life possible!\n \nYou might be suffering from parental burnout if you experience any of the following:\nA short temper and feelings of rage\nFind yourself snapping at your partner, baby’s older siblings, or even your newborn over minor issues? Irritability is a hallmark of mom burnout, and is often linked to extreme fatigue.\nFatigue\nThis isn’t your run-of-the-mill tiredness, nor is it the kind that a quick nap on the sofa will solve. This is the kind of exhaustion that goes right through to your core. Some parents report feeling “zombified”. If the lights are on but no-one’s home, and everyday tasks feel utterly insurmountable, you’re fatigued — and that’s a strong sign of mom burnout.\nFeeling inadequate as a parent\nThe fatigue and stress that accompany parental burnout often amplify anxiety or feelings of self
7292-doubt. You might feel like you’re failing at parenting, or even falsely assume that your friends or partner see you as an inadequate mom. These thoughts can be hard to shake, and it can be tricky to convince yourself that they’re incorrect.\nFeeling ‘empty’\nThis is one of the most common symptoms of parental burnout. You might feel detached or emotionally “numb”, and this can have a knock-on impact. You may choose to withdraw from your friends, or fail to engage with your baby during tummy time, for example.\nFeeling isolated\nYou might feel like you’re the only one struggling — that you’re all alone in your parenting journey — and this immense pressure can have a huge impact. If you lack a support network or struggle to share your feelings with friends and family, this can exacerbate things.\nQuestioning your choice to become a parent\nIf you’re secretly wondering whether having a baby was the right decision, be assured that this isn’t unusual. Research suggests anywhere from 5-14% of parents have had these feelings — though we’d wager the prevalence is likely even higher.\nBe assured that these feelings are not a reflection of your love for your child — it’s just a sign that you’re feeling burned out and in need of support.\nDecreased productivity\nIf thoughts of working through your to-do list are tear-inducing, and simple chores feel monumental, this is another sign that you’re burned out.\nOther types of mom burnout\nBecause mom burnout isn’t something medically diagnosed, it can look and feel different from one parent to the next. Below, we’ve outlined a few situations that may increase the likelihood of chronic stress and exhaustion.\nStay-at-home mom burnout\nStay-at-home parenting has a variety of benefits, but the constant availability and “always on” nature of it often leads to burnout. While attitudes are changing, society is often ignorant to the burden of home-bound moms. When you’re in the trenches of new parenthood (especially if you’re raising your first child) it’s easy to feel like your work isn’t appreciated, and this can intensify feelings of exhaustion and frustration.\nADHD mom burnout\nIf you’re a mom with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) the chaotic whirlwind of parenting can feel even more turbulent. Constant mental juggling, interruptions, and few opportunities for downtime may increase symptoms like forgetfulness, difficulty focusing, and impulsivity, leaving you doubly drained.\nNew mom burnout\nNew moms can sometimes find that the steep leaning curve involved with caring for a newborn creates the perfect storm for burnout. Pair this with a lack of sleep, hormonal changes, and the sudden shift in relationship dynamics — all the usual suspects — and it’s easy to see why it can be such an overwhelming experience.\nHow to recover from mom burnout\nYou’re feeling worn-out, used-up, and run-down. What now? Much like the physical recovery process from childbirth, your mind needs time to adjust to your exciting-but-terrifying new normal. Your transition to motherhood isn’t complete as soon as your baby is born; it’s an ongoing journey — and not one that can be rushed. \nThis said, there are some things you can do to ease your exhaustion and lighten the load.\nLean on your support network\nAsking for assistance can feel awkward — we get it — but if you’re fortunate enough to have a support network, there’s no shame in using it. When you’re burned out, one of the best things you can do is reach out to friends, family, or trusted colleagues. \nWhether it’s requesting an hour of babysitting, having a frank discussion with your partner about parenting responsibilities, or simply venting to another mom, a problem shared is a problem halved, so don’t hold back!\nManaging without a support network\nDon’t struggle alone. If you’re parenting without support, consider reaching out for help via the following methods:\n\n\nJoin local parenting groups: Try visiting your local parent meet-up or support group. There’s plenty to be gained just by chatting with other parents in similar situations, and these groups provide a safe space to share advice and make lifelong friendships.\n\n\nConnect with other parents online: Online forums such as Mumsnet (UK-based but US-friendly!) or r\/singlemoms are a lifeline for parents all over the world — and ideal if the thought of an in-person meeting gives you the heebie-jeebies.\n\n\nSeek a helping hand: If resources allow, consider hiring a babysitter, nanny, or postpartum doula to give yourself some breathing room. Alternatively, look into local childcare co-ops or sliding-scale daycare options.\n\n\nSwitch up your approach to parenting\nParenting isn’t about achieving perfection; it’s about doing the best and adapting as you go. In fact, if we’re being less charitable, we might even say that a large chunk of motherhood is simply winging it. \nIn other words, don’t hold yourself to impossibly high standards. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it might be time to take a step back and reassess your approach.\nTry to set realistic expectations for yourself and your child. You can’t be everything to everyone, nor should you try to. Accept that, for now at least, you and your baby are the most important people in your life. \nAim to simplify your routines where you can. If breastfeeding is proving painful (and consequently sending your stress levels into orbit) consider expressing your milk and bottle-feeding instead. If your baby’s bedtime schedule is chaotic, try introducing a relaxing nighttime routine — this may help your tot to drift off more predictably. Tweak the things you can control, and you might just find that the bigger issues — emotional turbulence and physical exh
7292austion, for example — resolve themselves.\nTry to prioritize self-care\nWhen a tiny human is dependent on you for everything, taking care of yourself is often the least of your priorities. But while finding time in the day for a little “you time” is easier said than done, neglecting self-care is only likely to exacerbate feelings of burnout.\nSelf-care doesn’t necessarily mean booking an entire spa day or indulging in a full-blown pamper session; it simply means carving out a little time for yourself in between your caregiving responsibilities.\nOf course, it helps to have a supportive partner or close family member who can step in and give you a break from time to time, but even snatching a few moments to yourself while your baby naps can make a world of difference to your physical and mental health.\nPerhaps you’ll use the time to run yourself a hot bath, for example, or maybe just catch up on a little reading. In any case, it’s important to remember that you’re not just a caregiver — and there’s nothing selfish about focusing on yourself, even if it’s just for a few minutes every day.\nSeek mental health support\nDon’t suffer in silence. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, talking to a qualified professional — be it a doctor, midwife, counsellor or therapist — can help make it much easier to cope. Get in touch with your local clinic, or try contacting one of the following organizations for support:\n\n\n\nPostpartum Support International\n\n\nNational Parent \u0026amp; Youth Helpline\n\n\nHow do I explain mom burnout to my partner?\nStart by describing, to the best of your abilities, how you feel. Use concrete examples, like how you’ve been feeling more tired or irritable than usual, and explain that it’s not about them or your love for your child — it’s about the mental and emotional load you’re carrying.\nBe specific about what you need. For example, you might say, “I’d really appreciate it if you could take over bedtime duties a few nights a week” or, “Could we schedule some alone time for me on the weekends?” Your partner can’t help if they don’t know what you’re going through or how they can pitch in.\nIt’s also worth pointing out that addressing mom burnout benefits the whole family. A happier, healthier you means a happier, healthier home environment.\nWhen should you seek help for mom burnout?\nIf your feelings of burnout are persistent and interfering with your ability to function, it’s time to seek help, as you may be suffering from postpartum depression. \nYou should contact your doctor or midwife if you experience any of the following symptoms: \n\n\nIntense feelings of sadness or hopelessness.\n\n\nDifficulty bonding with your baby.\n\n\nPhysical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or sleep disturbances that don’t improve.\n\n\nThoughts of self-harm or harming your child.\n\n\n \nMom burnout is real, but it’s also not insurmountable. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time, and recognize that stress is a natural, normal part of parenting. What matters is how you manage it, and by taking care of yourself — and leaning on others — you’ll make it through.\n ",

7315            "description":"Suddenly, you’re responsible for the health and wellbeing of an actual human being — one who’s completely dependent on you for at least the first few years of their life — and your once comparatively serene, independent, and routine-driven existence is turned upside down.\nAs a woman, the transition from mom-to-be to mom is often paved with as many blissful highs as it is formidable challenges — bonding with your baby can be a uniquely fulfilling experience, but being mom to a little one invariably means having to cope with sleep deprivation, emotional highs and lows, and a struggle to retain your own identity.\nOf course, there’s no blueprint for becoming the “perfect” parent — perfection is an unattainable myth, anyway — and it’s nigh-on impossible to feel truly ready for all the ups and downs motherhood has to offer, but it pays to equip yourself with as much knowledge as possible before your little life-transforming bundle of chaos and joy arrives.\n \nPreparing for your first baby? Wondering what to expect as a new mom? Read on as we offer our best advice for adapting to motherhood.\nChallenges new moms face\nNo one who ever brought a child into the world would say it’s a walk in the park. Though your experience as a parent is likely to be punctuated by many euphoric highs (more on those shortly), adapting to caring for a newborn isn’t without profound challenges — from the physical changes your body experiences to the impact of factors like sleep deprivation.\nHere are just some of the adversities you’ll likely face as a new mom:\n\n\nRecovering physically from childbirth. Growing a human inside your body — and then pushing them out of it — is a huge physical undertaking. Or, if you undergo a caes
7315arean, you’ll be dealing with recovery from major surgery. Regardless of your birth type, during your postpartum recovery, you may experience aftereffects such as vaginal bleeding, sore breasts, thinning hair, and a more frequent need to pee.\n\n\nAdapting to a whole new set of responsibilities. Becoming a mom for the first time can almost literally turn your life upside down — you’ll be forced to adapt to a completely new routine, navigate changes in relationships, and balance caring for a newborn with self-care and other day-to-day responsibilities.\n\n\nExperiencing emotional ups and downs. Only around 15% of new moms will experience postpartum depression, but even for those who don’t, hormonal changes often result in fluctuations in mood — you may feel confident and full of ecstasy one minute, and dejected and questioning your own self-worth the next.\n\n\nCoping with a lack of sleep. Ask any new parent how they’re feeling and their immediate response is likely to be “tired”. Newborns wake frequently in the night to feed — usually around every 2-4 hours — which means your sleep will inevitably be interrupted and you’ll often feel fatigued and drained of energy.\n\n\nFeeling self-conscious about body changes. While your post-baby body should be seen as a badge of honor considering the monumental feat you’ve just achieved, many new moms feel self-conscious about the way their bodies look after giving birth — their breasts may change size and shape, for example, and stretch marks may appear.\n\n\nStruggling with a loss of identity. Becoming a mother means taking on a whole new role, and some moms feel their pre-pregnancy identity disappearing — relationships with friends may evolve, for example, and you may have to sacrifice some of the things you loved doing before you became a parent.\n\n\nThe beautiful parts of motherhood\nBecoming a new mom isn’t all mood swings and sleepless nights, however — for every obstacle and setback, there are often many more beautiful, life-affirming, and undeniably entertaining moments that make the challenges worth enduring. When it feels like the weight of the universe is on your shoulders, remember — so many aspects of motherhood are filled with joy.\nHere are just a few of the wondrous upsides of becoming a mom:\n\n\n\nHolding your baby for the first time. There are few moments that will fill you with a sense of emotion and achievement than the first time you hold your baby in your arms. Every ounce of hard work, pain, and anxiety you’ve likely endured will suddenly pale in comparison to the new-found glow you’re feeling.\n\n\nBuilding an unbreakable bond. While bonding can be a gradual process and doesn’t happen instantly for everyone, the mutual feeling of attachment that develops between you and your baby is often one of the most rewarding aspects of being a mom. You may come to question whether you’ve ever loved anything as much.\n\n\nWatching your baby grow and develop. Though it can feel like the early years fly by in an instant, they’re filled with exciting milestones. Of course, some of these (like teething) can be challenging, but many of these moments — such as when they learn to crawl, walk, and say their first words — will fill you with pride and elation.\n\n\nExperiencing their sense of awe. For a baby discovering the world for the first time, almost every day brings a new adventure. Seeing the amazement in their eyes when they witness something you’d otherwise consider quite unspectacular — their own reflection, for example — can bring joy to everyday moments.\n\n\nFeeling a renewed purpose. Though some new moms grapple with what they feel is a loss of identity, many thrive on the new sense of purpose being a caregiver can bring. After all, raising a child is the ultimate responsibility, and it can be incredibly fulfilling to nurture, guide, and witness your little one’s development.\n\n\nStrengthening relationships with others. Many new moms say that having a baby gives them a new sense of respect and appreciation for their own mother, which often solidifies the mother-daughter bond. Of course, your own mom is often your biggest source of support during your child’s early years, too.\n\n\nTips for new mothers: what should every first-time mom know?\nAs we’ve pointed out, there’s no step-by-step instruction manual that tells you everything you need to do to prepare for having a baby, and no list of advice can be exhaustive or exact since no two moms’ experiences will be identical. \nThis said, there are some things we feel all new or expectant moms should know before embarking on this remarkable journey:\nEstablish a supp
7315ort network\nBeing a new mom can feel isolating, especially if your partner has returned to work and most of your daily interaction is with a tiny person who can’t speak and spends most of their time sleeping. This is why it’s so important to have a reliable network of people you can call upon any time you need support, advice, or you’re just craving some adult company.\nYour support network might include:\n\n\nFamily and friends. Your partner, parents, friends, and other family members can all help in their own ways, from providing you with a much-needed break by taking over responsibilities — whether that’s caregiving or cleaning — to simply being there for a chat when you need it.\n\n\nHealthcare providers. Qualified professionals such as your midwife, doctor, and doula can provide information and support during and after pregnancy. A lactation consultant can help if you need any breastfeeding-related advice.\n\n\nSupport groups. During pregnancy, antenatal support groups can help prepare you for what childbirth has in store while helping you connect with other expectant parents. After pregnancy, joining a mother and baby group enables you to socialize with other parents and little ones.\n\n\nSet boundaries with friends and family\nWhen you have a baby, loved ones are often itching to meet the new arrival — it’s an exciting time when a close friend or family member welcomes a new person into the world, and let’s face it, babies are darn cute. \nBut while you may be glad of the company, welcoming frequent visitors can be draining (for you and your baby, although they’ll likely sleep through many social calls), especially in the first few days as you’re still getting used to your new routine.\nWho you allow to visit and when is up to you, and you shouldn’t feel pressured to accept requests from friends and family until you feel good and ready. Of course, it goes without saying that you should discourage visits from anyone who is feeling under the weather, as this could put your baby at risk of illness.\nTry not to neglect self-care\nRemembering to take good care of yourself as well as your little one is one of many motherhood-related factors that can be filed under “easier said than done” — because when so much of your day is taken up by feeding, changing, washing, and soothing your baby, how can you possibly find a spare few minutes for self-care?\nWhile it’s a difficult balancing act, dedicating even just a few moments each day — when your baby is taking a nap, for instance — to yourself can be hugely beneficial for your mental health and overall wellbeing as you adapt to your new role as a caregiver.\n \nYou might engage in some gentle exercise such as yoga, for example, run yourself a hot bath, or simply take an opportunity to put your feet up and watch television or read a book. Though it can feel like it, self-care is never selfish.\nFor more advice on looking after your own wellbeing, check out our guide to postpartum self-care.\nDon’t be afraid to ask for (and accept) help\nWe may love to romanticize the idea of the mighty, multitasking “supermom”, but no mom should have to go it alone — after all, they say it takes a village to raise a child.\nThis said, some moms can feel reluctant to admit they need help, fearing this makes them a failure or reflects an inability to juggle the challenges of caring for a baby. This couldn’t be further from the truth, however — there’s absolutely no shame in either accepting help when it’s offered or asking for support when things are getting a little too much.\nRemember your support network. If you have a partner, communicate openly about how you’re feeling — are there other ways they can support you? Reach out to your family and friends, even if it’s just for a chat about anything not involving dirty diapers. And if you need some more professional advice, make an appointment with your doctor or health worker.\nTrust your instincts\nAs a new mom, it’s inevitable that parenting “advice” will come from all angles — your friends, close family members, and even occasional strangers will likely all have their own ideas about what’s best for you and your baby.\nBut while most of this advice will be well-intentioned, the fact that someone else has “been there and done it” doesn’t mean their way is the right way. Everyone’s experience of parenthood is different, and what worked for someone else may 
7315not work for you.\nYou should always heed the guidance of healthcare professionals, of course, but don’t be afraid to take every piece of unsolicited advice with a grain of salt. You’ll discover what works and what doesn’t, and sometimes (no matter what anyone else says) you need to do what you feel is right.\nGo easy on yourself\nLet’s make no bones about it; birthing and raising a baby is hard. Rewarding and filled with moments of pure pleasure, of course, but undeniably hard. On any given day, it’s not unusual to experience anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and disorientation — sometimes all at the same time.\nBut it’s vital to set realistic (and flexible) expectations. Don’t put pressure on yourself to get it right first time — you almost never will; parenting is often a game of trial-and-error — and expel the word “perfection” from your vocabulary, because striving for the p-word will only lead to disappointment.\nAccept that there will be ups and downs, and moments where you feel like you’ve “cracked it” followed by new, unforeseen challenges that force you to reevaluate everything! But if you’re doing your best, you’re doing a great job.\nRemember: there’s no such thing as the perfect mom, and a big part of being a parent is learning and adapting as you go. There’s no shame in accepting support, but you should also feel empowered to trust your instincts — after all, only you can truly know what’s best for you and your baby.",

7338            "description":"So, is it safe to use a pacifier at night?\nDrum roll, please…\nYes — it’s safe for your baby to use a pacifier while they sleep.\nIn fact, research suggests that sleeping with a pacifier might actually reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping the airway open and preventing your baby from rolling into unsafe positions.\nAs well as this, using a pacifier at night can also help establish a strong sleep association for your little one to latch onto, helping them to settle down — though this second point is a bit of a double-edged sword, as we’ll discuss later.\nBut in summary, it’s generally considered safe to let your tot suckle on their pacifier while they nestle down in the crib; so if you find that it helps you both get a good night’s rest, don’t be afraid to use it!\nHowever, as with any aspect of parenting, there are a few risks to considerder, and while they’re relatively rare, or may only occur in exceptional circumstances, they’re still worth being aware of.\nRisks of sleeping with a pacifier\nBefore you swear off pacifiers altogether, remember that all the potential pacifier pitfalls listed below are quite rare — and the risks can be mitigated.\nDependency\nOne of the most common concerns with using a pacifier at night is that babies can become dependent on it to fall asleep. If your little one learns to fall asleep with a pacifier, they might wake up every time it falls out during the night and cry for it to be replaced. (Cue the endless trips back to the crib in the dead of night!)\nDental issues\nExtended pacifier use beyond infancy can have negative effects on a child’s dental development. Prolonged sucking, especially past the age of two, can lead to misalignment of teeth and contribute to problems like an open bite or overbite. These 
7338conditions, sometimes referred to as “pacifier teeth”, may require orthodontic treatment later on if the habit isn’t weaned early enough.\nTo reduce the risk of dental issues, it’s recommended to start weaning your child off the pacifier by 12 months of age. Before that, pacifiers are generally safe for most babies as long as they’re used in moderation, and only during sleep rather than awake times. For guidance on how to wean your tot off their pacifier, check out our tips at the end of the article. \nEar infections\nResearch has shown a link between pacifier use and an increased risk of ear infections, also known as otitis media. The theory is that the sucking motion may affect the pressure in the ear, which can lead to fluid buildup and infection.\nAlthough ear infections can be common in young children, frequent pacifier use — especially beyond the first year of life — can slightly raise the likelihood. Reducing pacifier use during daytime hours, and especially during sleep beyond the first year, can help lower this risk.\nChoking and suffocation\nAlthough rare, there is a slight risk of choking or suffocation if a pacifier breaks or becomes damaged. To minimize this risk, it’s important to regularly inspect pacifiers for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, holes, or loose parts. Replace pacifiers frequently to ensure they’re in good condition, and always follow the manufacturer’s age and size recommendations to avoid giving a pacifier that’s too small for your child’s mouth.\nAlso, avoid pacifiers that have any added features like cords or stuffed animals attached to them. While cute, these extras can pose strangulation or suffocation risks when your baby is sleeping.\nUsing pacifiers at different stages of your baby’s development\nAs with every other aspect of the parenting journey, pacifier use has distinct stages. How and when you use them will change based on your baby’s age, and what works for your newborn tot might not work so well once they’re a little older. Every child is different, of course, but below, we’ve included a rough guide to pacifier use by age.\nNewborn to 4 months\nWhile most babies will take to their dummies quite happily, it’s crucial not to force your tot to take their dummy if they have any objections — for example, you should never dip the pacifier into anything sweet to try to get your baby to take it.\nIf you’re breastfeeding, it’s generally recommended to wait until you’ve established a solid nursing routine before introducing a pacifier, as this will help to avoid nipple confusion.\nWhat’s nipple confusion?\nThe reason pacifiers work so well is because they’re essentially artificial nipples. However, if a baby is introduced to a pacifier before they’re used to the real deal, this could cause some confusion. Since sucking on a rubber teat requires a different technique than nursing at the breast, some babies may get a little thrown off, and struggle to latch on once you start breastfeeding.\nHowever, recent research suggests that there may be a weaker link between pacifier use and nipple confusion than once first thought. Instead, many experts now believe that nipple confusion is caused primarily by bottle feeds. So, it turns out that nipple confusion is as confusing for parents as it is for babies!\nIn any case, the current AAP guidelines recommend waiting until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing a pacifier. Around 4 weeks after birth is a good timeframe.\n4 - 6 months\nAt this age, your tot might develop a strong affinity with their pacifier — particularly if you’ve been using it at certain times of the day, like just before bedtime.\nRemember in the introduction when we mentioned that pacifiers create sleep associations? Well, there’s a chance that your baby might become dependent on their pacifier to sleep. This might prove troublesome, forcing you to replace their dummy every time they wake up.\nFor this reason, many parents choose to begin phasing the pacifier out once their tot reaches 4 to 6 months of age, opting to introduce other ways of bedtime soothing to encourage a greater sense of independence. Depending on the strength of the attachment, this stage c
7338an be challenging, but rest assured that sooner or later your tot will learn to live without their dummy!\nOf course, there’s no obligation to throw the pacifier out once your baby hits the 6-month mark. If transitioning is proving troublesome, you can always switch focus and teach your tot how to replace their dummy all on their own. Do this during playtime when your baby is alert and happy, and place the pacifier just within their reach. Over time — and with a little encouragement — they’ll soon learn to grab it and pop it in all by themselves.\n7 - 12 months\nAt this age, you’ll want to place more importance on independent pacifier use. Encourage your tot to take control by placing the pacifier within reach in their crib. If you want to be extra prepared, you can even place multiple pacifiers nearby, so that they’ll always have one in close reach when they wake up.\nVerbal coaching can work wonders, too. Try holding the pacifier up in front of your tot and saying “get your dummy”, or, once you’ve set them down into their crib, gently ask them to find their pacifier and motion towards it — they’ll soon catch on!\n12 - 18 months\nWhile pacifiers are still safe for sleep at this stage, long-term use, especially beyond 18 months, can have some downsides. Prolonged use of pacifiers can sometimes lead to dental issues like misaligned teeth (commonly referred to as “pacifier teeth”) or speech development challenges.\nBy 12 months, your baby has likely developed other ways to soothe themselves, like cuddling a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. So, this can be a good time to begin slowly phasing out the pacifier. But don’t worry—there’s no need to go cold turkey if your child isn’t ready. Weaning can be a gradual process, and you can take it at your baby’s pace.\nTips for weaning off a pacifier at night:\n\n\nStart by limiting pacifier use to sleep only. During the day, offer alternative soothing techniques like a lovey or a comfort blanket.\n\n\nIntroduce other sleep associations. Activities like reading a calming book or playing gentle music can help reduce reliance on the pacifier at bedtime.\n\n\nBe patient! If your baby resists or seems particularly attached to the pacifier, it’s okay to take a slower approach.\n\n\n18 months - 2 years and beyond\nBy the time your little one reaches toddlerdom, it’s usually recommended to wean off the pacifier completely. This is important for several reasons:\n\n\nDental health concerns. Prolonged pacifier use can lead to dental issues, such as misalignment or “pacifier teeth,” where your child’s teeth may become pushed forward, affecting their bite.\n\n\nSpeech development. Pacifiers can interfere with speech development by preventing your toddler from practicing their talking skills. Open-mouthed pacifier use can hinder the formation of sounds and words.\n\n\nDependence. By this age, your child might start relying on the pacifier for comfort in situations where they could be learning self-soothing techniques, making it harder to handle emotions without it.\n\n\nSocial readiness. As your baby grows up, a pacifier might start to seem out of place in social settings, like daycare or playgroups. Weaning them off now will reduce their chance of being singled out or picked on.\n\n\nFortunately, at this age, toddlers typically develop rapidly in terms of speech, and it’s easier for them to practice speaking clearly without a pacifier in their mouth all the time, so you already have a perfect excuse to phase the dummies out anyway!\nThis doesn’t mean the process will be without challenges, though. Weaning a toddler off their beloved binky can feel like trying to convince a cat to enjoy a bath, but it’s entirely doable with patience, persistence, and maybe a little creativity.\nTips for weaning a toddler off the pacifier altogether:\n\n\nIf your toddler is particularly attached to their pacifier, try a gradual approach by first limiting its use to naps and bedtime. Once they’ve adjusted, you can slowly phase it out during sleep, too.\n\n\nSome parents find it helpful to “retire” the pacifier in a special way, like having a “pacifier fairy” come to take it away in exchange for a new toy. This can make the transition much easier.\n\n\nTransition your toddler to other forms of comfort, like a stuffed animal, blanket, or even their favorite bedtime story. Help them understand that they’re a “big kid” now and don’t need the pacifier anymore.\n\n\nYou can take it from us — pacifiers aren’t just safe to use during bedtime, they’re often a complete lifesaver!

7361            "description":"At what age can my baby use a jumper or bouncer?For newborns, bouncers are generally a great option because the vast majority of models come with built-in head and neck support. This is essential for babies 0-3 months of age, as they haven’t built up the crucial muscles necessary to keep their head upright yet. So, as long as the bouncer keeps your toot’s head stable, you’re good to go!Jumpers, on the other hand, are a different story. These don’t offer the same level of support, so they aren’t safe for younger babies. You’ll need to wait until your baby has strong neck control — around the 4-6 month mark — before introducing a jumper.Once your baby reaches 6 months of age, you might notice them getting more curious about their surroundings and wanting to engage with the world around them. At this point, jumpers are generally considered more appropriate, as they give your tot more freedom and often allow them to stand freely and jump up and down.So, in short:\n0-3 months of age: Your baby can use a bouncer with head and neck support.\n6 months and above: Your baby can use a jumper (either freestanding or seated).\nCan newborns use bouncers?Yes, newborns can use bouncers — with a few caveats. Most bouncers designed for newborns include head and neck support to keep those delicate muscles in check. The key is finding a bouncer that reclines so your baby is in a safe, slightly laid-back position. This helps prevent any strain on their neck or back and keeps them comfy as they take in their surroundings.As long as your chosen bouncer meets these criteria, it’s a great option for giving your arms a rest while keeping your little one cozy and entertained.Benefits of bouncers for babiesMany parents consider bouncers to be an essential piece of kit, and here are some of the reasons why:\nThey give you some breathing room: Let’s face it, parents need a break sometimes. A bouncer lets you pop your baby in a safe spot while you have a much needed break (while keeping an eye on them, of course). \nSome encourage hand-eye coordination: Many bouncers come with toys that are perfectly placed for grabbing and batting, giving your baby a fun way to develop motor skills while they play.\nThey’re super stimulating: With gentle motion, colorful toys, and sometimes even music, bouncers provide a sensory feast for your little one. All those sights, sounds, and movements keep them happily engaged.\nThey help to strengthen your tot: As babies kick and wiggle in the bouncer, they’re actually building up those leg and core muscles. While it’s not a substitute for tummy time, it’s a great complement.\nRisks of jumpers and bouncersWithout pooping the party completely, it’s important to mention that there are some risks involved with bouncers and jumpers.Firstly, the biggest thing to remember is moderation. It’s way too easy to let your baby bounce away for ages, but babies need time on the floor to roll, crawl, and strengthen their muscles, so try to limit their bouncer use to 15-20 minutes at a time.If your baby relies too much on the jumper’s supp
7361ort, they may take longer to develop strength and coordination on their own — while prolonged use can lead to poor posture and alignment. Of course, they can also miss out on crucial tummy time or floor play, which are essential for experimenting with movement and exploring their surroundings independently.Another potential downside is that, because bouncers and jumpers encourage babies to push off with their toes, they can cause tight calf muscles and potentially delay the natural progression of walking — with your baby possibly even developing a preference for toe-walking if they spend too much time in a bouncer.Then there’s the risk of improper setup. Now, this will vary from one model to the next, but no matter what kind of bouncer or jumper you choose, always make sure it’s planted on a flat, stable surface to prevent any tipping or sliding. Doorway jumpers need extra attention, too — always double-check that the frame is secure and can handle your baby’s weight. Overly vigorous bouncing can also strain your tot’s developing joints, so be mindful of how hard they’re hitting those jumps! And of course, supervision is non-negotiable.Here are our top tips to remember for safe baby bouncer or jumper use:\nLimit use: Use the bouncer for short periods of no more than 15-20 minutes at a time.\nEnsure proper fit: Check that the bouncer fits your baby snugly and does not place undue pressure on the hips or allow the baby to slouch.\nSupervise closely: Always supervise your little one when they’re in a jumper to ensure they’re safe and comfortable.\nEncourage floor play: Prioritize floor-based playtime to support the natural development of their motor skills.\nChoose wisely: Opt for a stationary bouncer with a sturdy frame rather than a doorway model, which poses higher risks of tipping or detachment.\nCan I let my baby sleep in their bouncer?Letting your baby catch a quick snooze in their bouncer might seem harmless — after all, they look so peaceful! — but it’s not recommended for prolonged or unsupervised sleep. Bouncers are designed for short-term use and play, not for sleeping. The reclining angle can increase the risk of positional asphyxia, especially for younger babies who don’t yet have full head and neck control. If your baby dozes off, it’s best to transfer them to a flat, firm sleep surface like a crib or bassinet as soon as possible. Always prioritize safe sleep practices to keep your little one secure.When do babies grow out of bouncers?Eventually, the day will come when your little one will grow out of their bouncer, and this will usually occur when they’re around 9-12 months old. However, it also depends on how developed your tot is. Weight matters, too — most bouncers and jumpers have a maximum weight limit of around 20-30lbs, so if your baby’s pushing those limits, it’s time for them to retire from bouncing!Height is another indicator. If your baby’s feet are too close to the ground in a bouncer or their legs are bending awkwardly in a jumper, it’s a sign they’ve outgrown it. And once your little one starts walking or crawling, they’re probably not going to enjoy being fixed in one position. What about electric baby bouncers?Electric baby bouncers are a game-changer for some parents. With features like automatic rocking, vibration settings, and even built-in lullabies, they can feel like a magical third arm when you’re juggling the chaos of early parenthood. They’re particularly handy for soothing fussy babies or helping them drift off to sleep.Just keep in mind that, like any bouncer, they should be used in moderation. Always check the manufacturer’s safety guidelines and ensure your baby is securely strapped in before you hit the “on” button.Best baby bouncer 2025 — which should I buy?When it comes to choosing the best baby bouncer, it all boils down to personal preference. Some parents swear by electric models with all the bells and whistles, while others prefer the simplicity of a classic, no-frills design. Whichever type you go for, the most important thing is that it’s safe, comfortable, and suits your baby’s age and developmental stage. Take a look at the options, read a few reviews, and trust your gut.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7384            "description":"What do we mean by “screen time”?We’re not talking about the amount of time your favorite actor spends on screen in a movie or TV show (as in, Molly Shannon deserved way more screen time in “The Santa Clause 2”) but the amount of time we — or in this case, our children — spend using a screen-based device such as a smartphone, tablet, TV, or games console.Screen time can be categorized as either “active” (which involves doing as well as watching) or “passive”, which describes sedentary activities such as wat
7384ching TV. Screen time is often a topic of concern among parents, given the perceived impact it can have on children’s physical, social, and cognitive development. But is it really that bad for babies?Is screen time bad for babies?Actually, yes. In their Guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep for children under 5 years of age, the World Health Organization advises against sedentary screen time for children under 2 years. Meanwhile, a study by JAMA Pediatrics suggests that babies exposed to screens daily are more likely to experience developmental delays.So, while putting a tablet in front of your baby when they’re fussy may distract and pacify them temporarily, the long-term effect of regularly exposing them to screen time at such an early stage could actually be detrimental to their development. During “inactive” time, reading a story to your baby is much better than putting them in front of a screen.The WHO recommends prioritizing at least 30 minutes of physical activity (like that old favorite, tummy time) and a good amount of quality sleep (including naps) over sedentary screen time, while even at two years old your little one should be limited to no more than an hour of screen time each day. How does screen time affect sleep in babies?As per the WHO’s guidelines, it’s important for babies to have a healthy combination of physical activity, sedentary time, and — crucially — good quality sleep. Sleep is crucial for your baby’s development, helping to support their physical growth as well as their cognitive functions, but time spent in front of a screen can affect their snoozing schedule in a number of ways — from making it harder for them to drift off to limiting the total amount of time they sleep over a 24-hour period.Blue light can limit production of the “sleep hormone”Most devices with screens emit a high-energy, short-frequency “blue light”, and this can interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Even as an adult, this can make it harder for you to fall asleep at night — as you may have discovered if you’ve ever tried to doze off after spending too long scrolling through your phone just before bedtime — and the destabilizing effect on babies is similar.Blue light can also “trick” the brain into thinking it’s daytime, which can throw off your baby’s sleep-wake cycle and affect the overall length and quality of their sleep. The lights in your home can also have an impact on how your baby sleeps, and dimming the lights for 1-2 hours before bedtime, even just a little, can help your baby transition more easily into sleep.Screen exposure can cause overstimulation before bedtimeIf you’ve ever crawled into bed after working until the early hours, or turned in for the night just after switching off a particularly intense episode of The Bear, you’ll know that a whirring, overstimulated brain can make it nigh-on impossible to fall asleep straight away.Similarly, if your baby is exposed to stimulating content — the bright colors and rapid movement often included in cartoons, for example — they may remain “alert” and take longer to transition to a calm, snooze-ready state. This will often make falling asleep more difficult, while their overall sleep quality will likely be reduced.More screen time = less sleep timeUltimately, if your baby spends a significant amount of time staring at a screen, they’re likely to sleep for less time overall — which might prevent them getting the shuteye they need for healthy development (this is typically around 14-17 hours for a newborn and 12-16 hours for a baby aged 4-12 months, though this can vary from child to child).Research has shown negative relationships between screen time and total sleep time, with one study finding that TV viewing had an adverse effect on infants’ total sleep over a 24-hour period, and exposure to a smartphone screen correlated to less daytime sleep for toddlers.If your baby is consistently not getting enough sleep, this can impact their cognitive development, their physical health (good quality sleep is essential for maintaining a strong immune system), and their mood — sleep deprivation makes it harder to regulate emotions, meaning fussiness and crying episodes are likely to be more frequent.What is a healthy screen time limit for infants?The WHO’s guidelines state that children under a year old shouldn’t spend any time stationary in front of a screen, with sedentary screen time not recommended until they’re at least two.Here’s a rough outline of the recommended screen time limits for babies and toddlers:\nUnder 12 months: Babies less than a year old should have no sedentary screen time, with activities like reading and storytelling more encouraged. You should aim for 30 minutes or more of physical activity like tummy time, and at least 12-14 hours of sleep depending on your baby’s individual needs.\n1-2 years: Sedentary screen time is still not recommended for any child under the age of two — although video calls with family members are of course encouraged! At least 180 minutes each day should be dedicated to moderate physical activity, and a good amount of quality sleep (typically 11 or more hours) is essential.\n3-4 years: Even for toddlers and preschoolers, sedentary screen time should be limited to a maximum of one hour per day. 180 minutes or more of physical activity is recommended, at least 60 minutes of which should be of moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Aroun
7384d 10-13 hours of sleep per day is typically suggested.\nWhat if my child is neurodiverse?Screen time can sometimes be beneficial for neurodiverse toddlers who need to self-soothe. Certain programs or apps offer predictable, calming visuals and sounds that help regulate the nervous system, making it a valuable tool when used intentionally to support emotional or sensory regulation.When parents share screen time with their child, however, the experience goes beyond self-soothing. Watching together fosters connection, communication, and learning. It creates opportunities for parents to engage with their child, discuss what they’re seeing, and turn screen time into a shared experience that enhances social and emotional development.How can I manage my infant’s screen time?Many parents will have faced similar screen-based dilemmas when dealing with a child mid-tantrum, and it’s important to remember that allowing your toddler a little screen time doesn’t make you a bad parent. But even when it seems like it’s your sole option, there are ways to ensure your little one is not going to go all square-eyed. For example:\nLimit screen time where possible. However tempting, try if you can to avoid passive screen time until your child is at least two years old. From two onwards, allow them no more than one hour of supervised screen time each day.\nAvoid screen time before bed. Try to get into the habit of turning off the TV and putting devices away at least an hour before their scheduled bedtime, and use this time to “wind down” with calming activities like a bath or a story instead.\nReduce the brightness of devices. If you do let your little one watch something on a smartphone or tablet, put the device on night mode or turn the brightness down to reduce blue light exposure, particularly in the evening.\nEncourage active screen time. Screen time doesn’t have to be completely sedentary. Why not watch along with your child and encourage them to sing along to the songs or tell you when they spot different things on the screen?\nCreate ‘screen-free’ zones. Designate certain rooms or areas of your home as no screens allowed. Keeping TVs and tablets out of your baby’s bedroom, for example, can help them associate it with sleep rather than stimulation.\nMake use of parental controls. As your child gets older, you may allow them to use devices such as tablets independently. Parental controls allow you to manage some devices remotely, so you can monitor and limit the content they’re allowed to access.\nLead by example. Children learn a lot of their habits from parents and caregivers, so try to set a positive example by keeping your own screen time to a reasonable level — no matter how many levels of Candy Crush you still have to unlock!\nWhen your little one is inconsolably fussy and you just want a few precious moments for yourself, reaching for the nearest screen-based device can feel like the only way to pacify them. But it’s important to consider the impact too much screen time can have on your baby’s sleep quality and, therefore, their overall development.The best advice? Try to avoid passive screen time altogether when your child is under two years old, and limit it to an hour a day when they hit toddlerdom. The most important thing is maintaining a healthy balance of physical activity, rest time, and good quality sleep.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7407            "description":"What is baby sleep apnea?Baby sleep apnea is a condition where a baby’s breathing pauses during sleep. These pauses — or apneas — can last for a few seconds and may occur multiple times throughout the night. Scary? Absolutely, but they’re not always a cause for concern. It’s relatively common for there to be a certain amount of instability in an infant’s breathing. Even the healthiest of tots can experience a brief pause in breathing during sleep now and again. But that said, it’s still worth knowing what’s normal, and what might need a closer look.What are the symptoms of baby sleep apnea?Suspect your tot may be struggling with sleep apnea? Look out for these symptoms:\nSnoring: Not the cute little snuffles, but loud, uneven snoring.\nBreathing pauses: Gaps in their breathing that last longer than a few seconds.\nGasping or choking: Sounds like they’re struggling to catch their breath.\nSweatiness or clamminess: Sweating is not always a cause for concern (it may just be because your baby’s room is a little warm) but if your baby often wakes up with a sweaty or clammy forehead, it could be a sign of sleep apnea.\nFussiness or restlessness: Constant tossing, turning, or frequent night waking could be due to sleep apnea.\nFeeding struggles: Sometimes a lack of sleep can throw off your little one’s appetite. \nBlue lips or blue skin: This symptom is serious — if you see it, call 911 immediately. \nThere are two main types of sleep apnea in babies: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Obstructive sleep apneaOSA occurs when something physically blocks the baby’s airway, such as enlarged tonsils, adenoids (small tissue lumps in the upper airway), or even poor muscle tone in the throat.The hallmark of OSA is snoring. But unlike the soft, almost soothing snuffles you might expect, OSA-related snoring is often loud and punctuated by pauses in breathing or choking sounds. The baby’s chest might visibly heave as they work harder to breathe during these episodes.Risk factors:\nPremature birth: Premature tots might still have underdeveloped airways.\nBig tonsils or adenoids: These can block airflow during sleep.\nNeuromuscular disorders: Conditions like Down Syndrome or cerebral palsy are known to increase the risk of OSA.\nFamily history: If sleep apnea runs in your family, your baby might be more prone to it.\nCleft palate: Babies with a cleft palate may have a smaller airway, leading to a heightened risk of OSA\nSecondhand smoke exposure: Another reason to keep the air clean around your little one!\nCentral sleep apneaCentral sleep apnea (CSA) is different from OSA in that there’s no physical blockage. Instead, the problem lies in the brain’s communication with the respiratory system. It’s as though the brain “forgets” to tell the baby to breathe for a few seconds.CSA is more common in premature infants, as their central nervous systems are still developing. However, it can also be seen in full-term babies with underlying neurological or cardiac conditions.The signs of CSA are often more subtle than OSA. You might notice brief pauses in your baby’s breathing without the gasping or snoring associated with OSA. While these pauses are often harmless and resolve as the baby grows, prolonged or frequent episodes should always be evaluated by a doctor.Risk factors:\nPrematurity: Babies born before 34 weeks are at higher risk.\nInfections: Severe infections like meningitis can impact the brain’s ability to regulate breathing.\nHead trauma: Injury to the head or brain can disrupt the signals that control breathing.\nToxin exposure: Exposure to harmful substances, either during pregnancy or after birth, can affect brain function.\nMetabolic disorders: Where your baby has trouble processing amino acids or fats.\nHeart conditions: Things like congenital heart defects can play a role.\nNeurological issues: Anything that affects how the brain works might cause CSA.\nHow is baby sleep apnea diagnosed?If you suspect your baby is suffering from sleep apnea, your first step is to get them to your pediatrician or doctor. They’ll start by asking about your baby’s symptoms, sleeping habits, and feeding patterns. If they suspect sleep apnea, they may even refer your baby to a sleep 
7407specialist. The sleep specialist may perform a polysomnography (also known as a sleep study) on your baby. This test will measure your little one’s breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and brain activity while they sleep. Typically, this will be done in a hospital or specialized sleep center, but in some cases, they may allow you to take the test at home. Sometimes, X-rays or MRIs are used to check for physical blockages, or blood tests to rule out any related conditions. In the case of premature tots, we understand just how concerning health issues like these can be. But while receiving a diagnosis of OSA or CSA can feel scary, keep in mind that long-term complications with infant sleep apnea are relatively rare. How is baby sleep apnea treated?How your baby’s sleep apnea is treated largely depends on how severe it is, and what’s causing it. For mild cases, your doctor might recommend simple adjustments like:\nChanging sleep positions, such as having your baby sleep on their back with their head slightly elevated.\nUsing a humidifier to keep airways moist and reduce irritation.\nAddressing underlying causes, such as allergies or infections.\nFor more severe cases, or those caused by medical or developmental issues, treatments may include:\nSurgery, if enlarged tonsils or adenoids are causing the obstruction (called an adenotonsillectomy).\nMedications, in rare cases, to stimulate breathing in babies with CSA.\nOral appliances that are placed inside your tot’s mouth to expand the roof of the mouth and nasal passages, or move your tot’s jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway open. \nContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device that gently blows air into your baby’s airway to keep it open — though its use in infants is very rare and always carefully monitored by specialists.\nWhat about toddler sleep apnea?Sleep apnea isn’t just a baby thing — it can affect toddlers, too. Just like with infants, toddler sleep apnea comes in two forms: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Much like infants, the signs and symptoms to keep an eye out for are:\nLoud snoring: If your toddler sounds like a tiny chainsaw at night, it might be worth investigating.\nBreathing pauses: Gaps in their breathing, followed by gasping or choking, can be a sign of sleep apnea.\nRestless sleep: You may notice your child constantly tossing and turning or waking multiple times, or frequently changing positions to find a more comfortable way to breathe.\nMouth breathing: Chronic mouth breathing, even when awake, can be a sign of an airway issue.\nDaytime fatigue: If your toddler seems extra cranky, sleepy, or has trouble concentrating, it could be from poor-quality sleep.\nBehavioural changes: Symptoms such as increased irritability, difficulty focusing, and hyperactivity can sometimes stem from fragmented sleep caused by sleep apnea, and are often misattributed to temperament or “typical” toddler behavior.\nGrowth: Untreated sleep apnea in toddlers may sometimes lead to poor growth due to disruptions in growth hormone production during sleep. It’s important to monitor weight gain and overall health.\nIf you’re noticing these symptoms, start by chatting with your pediatrician rather than trying to self-diagnose the issue — the symptoms listed above are not necessarily signs of sleep apnea, and it can be easy to misinterpret them as just that.Your paediatrician might refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or recommend a sleep study to get a clearer picture. The good news? Most toddlers with sleep apnea respond well to treatment, and addressing it early can make a big difference in their mood, energy, and overall health.As in many situations as a parent, observation is key — for example, you might consider using a baby monitor with audio to detect signs of laboured breathing, or keeping a sleep diary to document symptoms and patterns. This information can then be shared with your pediatrician to help them reach an accurate diagnosis.Remember — if you suspect your tot’s suffering from sleep apnea, it’s always best to consult a medical professional rather than trying to diagnose the issue yourself. They’ll guide you through the process of diagnosis and treatment, ensuring your little one is able to get a peaceful — and safe — night’s rest.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7430            "description":"What is colic?\nColic is a term used to describe frequent, prolonged, and intense crying in an otherwise healthy baby that can’t be easily explained. It’s frustrating, exhausting, but crucially, it’s not your fault — colic is very common, with up to 1 in 4 newborns thought to experience it, and experts still do not know the exact cause.\nHere’s the good news: colic doesn’t last forever. It usually peaks around six weeks of age, and tends to resolve itself by around the 4-month mark. And, in the meantime, there are plenty of ways to comfort your baby and maintain your sanity — as we’ll explain shortly.\nColic symptoms\nBecause colic isn’t truly a condition but rather a term used to describe a collection of symptoms — which most typically include excessive, unexplained crying — it can be tough to distinguish from normal baby fussiness. However, there are some key signs that might indicate your little one is dealing with more than just an off day.\nWhile it’s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician, here are the common signs of colic to watch for:\n\n\nIntense crying. Colicky crying is often louder, more intense, and higher-pitched than regular cries. It might seem as though your baby is crying in pain.\n\n\nCrying fits at predictable times. Colic episodes often happen around the same time each day, typically in the late afternoon or evening.\n\n\nInconsolability. Despite your best efforts to comfort them — feeding, changing, rocking — your baby may refuse to stop crying.\n\n\nClenched fists and stiffened body. During crying spells, you might notice your baby clenching their fists, curling up their legs, or stiffening their body.\n\n\nGassy or bloated appearance. Many colicky babies seem to have a hard t
7430ime passing gas or it may look like their tummy is bloated.\n\n\nRelief after passing gas or a bowel movement. Some babies appear to calm down briefly after releasing gas or having a bowel movement, though the relief might not last long.\n\n\nInterrupted sleep patterns. Colicky babies may struggle to settle down for naps or nighttime sleep, adding to their frustration (and yours).\n\n\nWhat causes colic?\nFrustratingly, nobody’s quite sure what causes colic in babies. However, it’s often thought to reflect a baby’s difficulty in adapting to their environment or developing self-soothing techniques, which can be influenced by factors such as immature digestion, overstimulation, or even parental stress.\nThese are some of the contributing factors that many experts believe to be linked to colic:\n\n\nImmature digestive system. A baby’s digestive tract is still developing, which can lead to difficulty processing food, trapped gas, or general discomfort.\n\n\nOverstimulation. Newborns are constantly exposed to new sights, sounds, and sensations. For some babies, this sensory overload can lead to excessive crying as they struggle to process it all.\n\n\nGas. Swallowing air during feedings or sensitivity to certain foods (via breast milk or formula) might contribute to tummy troubles, leading to colic symptoms.\n\n\nFood sensitivities or allergies. Some experts suggest that colic might be related to a baby’s reaction to proteins in cow’s milk or other allergens in formula or breast milk.\n\n\nAcid reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can cause discomfort, leading some babies to cry more frequently.\n\n\nImmature nervous system. A baby’s underdeveloped nervous system may make it harder for them to self-soothe or adapt to changes, resulting in prolonged crying.\n\n\nParental stress. While not a direct cause, some research suggests that colic might be exacerbated by the stress levels in a baby’s environment, as infants can pick up on and react to tension around them.\n\n\nHowever, while these factors might contribute to colic, the truth is that every baby is different, and what triggers colic in one child might not apply to another.\nWhen to see a doctor\nColic is both common (affecting around 1 in 5 babies) and relatively harmless, but it’s always a good idea to check in with your doctor if you’re concerned. They’ll be able to rule out any underlying medical conditions and offer additional advice for managing colic.\nAbove all, trust your instincts! If something doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate to speak up. You know your little one better than anyone else.\nHow to help a colic baby get to sleep\nWe know what colic is, now let’s talk about how to treat it. Below, we’ve outlined some of the most effective techniques for soothing a colicky tot. Try one or two, or give them all a go! Every baby is different, so test things out and see how you get on.\n1. Create a calming environment\nImagine spending 9 months in a luxury hotel — all your needs taken care of. All your favourite food delivered instantly, a soft, king-size bed to rest on, and complete silence when you’re ready to settle down.\nNow, imagine all of those things suddenly being stripped away. You’re thrown into a loud, bright, completely unfamiliar space. Now multiply that confusion and discomfort by a thousand, and you’re close to imagining just how tricky the transition from womb to planet earth is.\nBabies might get berated for being overly sensitive, but put yourself in their (tiny) shoes!\nIf you’re dealing with a colicky tot, turn your attention towards their environment. Is it conducive to a good night’s sleep? If your baby is crying nonstop, reducing sensory input can help them feel more secure. Creating the perfect calming environment for your baby essentially boils down to this:\n\n\nDim the lights. Bright lights can overstimulate your baby. Use soft, warm lighting or dimmers to create a cozy atmosphere. If it’s bedtime, darkening the room entirely can signal it’s time to wind down.\n\n\nIntroduce white noise. Gentle, consistent sounds like white noise, soft rain, or the hum of a fan can mimic the sounds of the womb and drown out jarring background noises. White noise machines or apps can be great tools for this.\n\n\nKeep it quiet. Minimize loud or abrupt sounds that might startle your baby. If you’re talking or playing music, keep the volume low and soothing.\n\n\nAdjust the temperature. Babies are sensitive to temperature changes, so keep the room comfortably warm, but not too hot. If your baby seems fussy, check if they might be too warm or too cold.\n\n\n2. Swaddle them\nSimilar to the technique above, swaddling helps recreate the secure feeling of being in the womb and prevents the Moro reflex, which is particularly comforting for colicky babies. If you’re new to swaddling, there are plenty of swaddling tutorials to guide you, or you can invest in a ready-made swaddle blanket with Velcro or zippers to make things extra simple.\nThe key is to make sure your baby’s arms are snugly tucked in while leaving enough room for their hips to move freely. While not all babies like being swaddled and you should pay close attention to their cues, a well-swaddled baby often feels safe and secure, which can make all the difference during a colic episode. Just be sure to follow safe sleep guidelines and stop swaddling once your baby shows signs of rolling over.\n3. Use motion\nHave you ever noticed how quickly a baby calms down when they’re rocked in someone’s arms or taken for a car ride? That’s because motion is incredibly soothing for infants. Rocking, swaying, or bouncing gently can help distract your baby from their discomfort. If your arms are getting tired, try a baby swing, bouncer, or even a smart bassinet. These gadgets can be lifesavers, offering a hands-free way to keep your baby moving.\nAnother tried-and-true technique is taking your baby for a 
7430walk in their stroller or wearing them in a baby carrier. The combination of fresh air and gentle movement can be incredibly calming, not to mention a great way for you to get a change of scenery. And let’s not forget the magic of a car ride — just be prepared for the possibility that your baby might wake up the moment you pull into the driveway!\n4. Try tummy time\nAs we touched on above, it’s thought that colic may be linked to gassiness, so try laying your tot on their tum and applying some gentle pressure to their abdomen. You can also try laying your baby face-down across your lap and gently patting their back. This position can be soothing and help release trapped air.\nYou might also find that using a warm compress or especially-designed baby tummy warmer helps, too — just make sure that whatever you’re using isn’t too hot (no warmer than 100°F or 37.8°C).\n5. Give baby massage a go\nAnother topic we’ve touched on before (pun very much intended) is baby massage. It’s a superb way of helping both you and you wind down before bed, and there’s plenty of research to prove it works, so you’ve really no excuse not to try it.\nIf you’d like to take a deep dive into the topic, take a look at our guide to baby massage, but if you’d prefer a quick rundown, here’s a quickstart guide below:\n\n\nCreate a relaxing atmosphere. Choose a quiet, warm space and dim the lights. You can even play soft, calming music to set the tone.\n\n\nUse baby-safe oil. A small amount of baby-safe oil, like coconut or almond oil (being mindful of nut allergies, of course), can make the massage more comfortable. Warm the oil between your hands before applying it to your baby’s skin.\n\n\nStart with gentle strokes. Begin with light, slow strokes on your baby’s chest and tummy. This helps them get used to the sensation.\n\n\nMassage the tummy. Using your fingertips, move in a gentle clockwise motion on their belly. This mimics the natural direction of their digestive system and can help release trapped gas.\n\n\nFocus on the legs and feet. Gently massage their thighs, calves, and the soles of their feet. You can even do a light “bicycle” motion with their legs to help relieve gas.\n\n\nKeep an eye on baby’s cues. If your baby seems relaxed, continue with the massage. If they seem uncomfortable or fussy, stop and try again later.\n\n\n6. Adjust your feeding technique\nSometimes, colic is linked to feeding issues. If your baby is bottle-fed, make sure they’re not swallowing too much air during feedings. You can use anti-colic bottles or check that the nipple flow is appropriate for their age. If you’re breastfeeding, consider whether something in your diet might be triggering your baby’s symptoms. While there’s no definitive list of foods to avoid, some parents find that cutting back on caffeine or spicy foods can make a difference.\nIf you suspect your baby’s colic is related to a milk protein intolerance or another food sensitivity, consult your doctor. They might recommend a special formula or guide you on dietary changes.\n7. Use the 5 S’s\nHere at Elvie, we’re huge fans of Dr. Harvey Karp’s 5 S’s of soothing. If you haven’t come across it yet, the 5 S’s are a set of techniques designed to mimic the comforting sensations your baby experienced in the womb. They work together to help your baby feel secure and settled, even during a colic meltdown. We’ve already covered two of the 5 S’s (swaddling and swinging) up above.\nIf you’re curious, you can read our full guide to the 5 S’s, but here’s a quick breakdown to get you started:\n\n\nSwaddling. Wrapping your baby snugly in a swaddle blanket helps recreate the cozy, secure feeling of being in the womb. Make sure their arms are tucked in, but leave enough room for their hips and legs to move freely.\n\n\nSide or stomach position. While always placing your baby on their back for sleep is crucial, holding them on their side or stomach during awake, supervised time can help soothe crying spells. Try cradling them face-down across your arm or holding them upright against your chest.\n\n\nShushing. A loud, rhythm
7430ic “shushing” sound mimics the whooshing noise of blood flow in the womb. You can make the sound yourself or use a white noise machine for consistent soothing.\n\n\nSwinging. Gentle, rhythmic motion — like rocking, swaying, or using a baby swing — can be incredibly calming. Movement reminds babies of the constant motion they felt while being carried during pregnancy.\n\n\nSucking. Babies naturally find sucking soothing, so offering a pacifier, a clean finger, or breastfeeding can help calm them during fussy moments.\n\n\nAbove all — be patient!\nPerhaps the most important tool in your parenting arsenal is patience. Dealing with a colicky baby can be tough, but remember that it won’t last forever. In the meantime, try to stay calm, and don’t be afraid to lean on your partner, friends, or family members if you’re struggling.\nBreaks are important, too. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to pop your baby down in their crib and step away for a few minutes to collect yourself. Your well-being matters too!\nBy trying different techniques and being patient with the process, you’ll find what works best for your baby. And remember, you’re not alone — colic is a common experience, and countless parents have been in your shoes.\nIn time, those sleepless nights and fussy evenings will become a distant memory. Until then, take it one day (or one cry) at a time.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7453            "description":"What is swaddling?\nSwaddling is when you wrap your baby up in a thin blanket to help them feel super safe and secure — essentially mimicking their pre-birth experience of life in the womb.\nSome parents opt for purpose-made swaddle blankets, while others may choose a thin muslin blanket or cot sheet. In any case, the underlying technique behind the swaddle stays much the same. As long as the blanket used is thin and breathable, it should work just fine.\nSpecially-made swaddle blankets do have the added benefit of velcro fastenings though, which help to keep the blanket in place — handy if you’ve got a particularly wriggly tot on your hands.\nWhat are the benefits of swaddling your baby?\nNewborns are born with something called the Moro reflex — an involuntary movement that can cause them to startle awake, often leaving them restless. By snugly wrapping your little one, you can limit this reflex, helping them to stay settled and asleep for longer stretches.\nAnother key benefit of swaddling is the comfort it provides. The sensation of being tightly wrapped mimics the cozy confines of the womb, which can be deeply reassuring for your little one. This sense of security often translates into reduced fussiness, as babies feel calmer and more content when swaddled.\nOf course, the parental benefits are fairly obvious — a calm, sleeping baby is the dream come bedtime, and swaddling can be a lifesaver during those inevitable crying spells. Many parents find that wrapping their baby helps soothe them when nothing else works.\nAnd last — but by no means least — swaddling can serve as a gentle introduction to the concept of self-settling. While newborns rely heavily on their parents for comfort, swaddling helps lay the groundwork for sleep independence.\nHow to swaddle your baby safely — a step-by-step guide\nSwaddling might seem simple, but just like rolling the perfect burrito, it requires a certain level of finesse. However, unlike rolling a burrito, getting it wrong may lead to an unsafe situation, so it’s well worth learning the correct steps!\n1. Lay the blanket flat\nStart by spreading a thin, breathable blanket out on a flat surface. Fold one corner down slightly to create a straight edge. This will form the top of the swaddle, where your baby’s head will rest.\n2. Position your tot\nPlace your baby on their back in the center of the blanket, with their neck aligned with the folded corner. Ensure their arms are in the desired position — either by their sides or bent up near their face, depending on their preference and comfort.\n3. Wrap one side snugly\nTake one corner of the blanket and wrap it across your baby’s chest, tucking it under their body. Make sure it’s snug but not overly tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the blanket and your baby’s chest.\n4. Bring up the rear\nFold the bottom corner of the blanket over your baby’s legs, ensuring their hips can move freely. This step is crucial for healthy hip development.\n5. Wrap it up!\nFinally, take the remaining corner of the blanket and bring it across your baby’s body, tucking it securely under their back. Double-check that the swaddle is secure but not restrictive, and that your baby can still wiggle their legs.\nSwaddling safety tips\nWhen swaddling your baby, be sure to always follow these guidelines so they’re as safe as they are cozy and secure:\n\n\nUse a thin, breathable material like cotton muslin or cotton blankets. Avoid over-layering your baby.\n\n\nAvoid swaddling too tightly, as this can restrict your baby’s hip and knee movement, which can lead to hip dysplasia — the swaddle should be loose around the hips specifically.\n\n\nPosition your baby with their hips bent and knees apart so they can move freely.\n\n\nDon't swaddle above the shoulders. Your baby’s neck and head should never be covered.\n\n\nDouble, triple, and quadruple-check that the swaddle is secure before leaving your baby to sleep.\n\n\nAlways lay your baby to sleep on their back, never on their front or side.\n\n\nKeep the room where your baby sleeps at a cool temperature, no higher than 72°F.\n\n\nHow to choose the best swaddle for your baby\nTruth be told, choosing a blanket for your swaddling needs isn’t all that tricky. The only factor you need to consider is the material itself. You’ve got two choices — 
7453cotton or muslin. Both are perfect for swaddling, as they allow air to circulate, reducing the risk of overheating.\nHowever, if you’re new to swaddling, you might also consider a purpose-made swaddling blanket. These come equipped with velcro fastenings or baby-safe zippers, making it much easier to achieve a snug fit without the risk of a mid-snooze unraveling. They’re also great if you’re still concerned about your swaddling technique.\nHowever, for a more traditional (and cheaper) approach, a simple rectangular blanket works just fine. Just ensure it’s large enough to wrap securely, but not so large that it could easily become loose and cause a suffocation risk.\nWhen should you stop swaddling your baby?\nMost babies outgrow the need for swaddling between two to four months of age, but the exact timing varies depending on your child’s development. A key milestone to watch for is when your baby starts to roll over. This typically happens around the three- to four-month mark, but some babies may roll earlier.\nOnce your baby can roll onto their stomach, swaddling becomes unsafe. At this point, they need their arms free to push themselves back or adju
7453st their position. It’s recommended that you stop swaddling your baby altogether by 16 weeks.\nWhich is best — swaddling with arms up or down?\nThe arms-up versus arms-up versus arms-down debate is one of the most common among new parents. Arms-down swaddling, where the arms are tucked snugly against the sides, is typically viewed as the ‘default’ method. It’s great for minimizing the startle reflex, and it tends to be the most widely accepted position for most babies, too.\nOn the other hand, some babies prefer to have their arms up, especially if they like to suck on their hands for comfort. Many swaddle blankets are designed to accommodate this position, with special arm openings or flaps that allow babies to keep their hands near their face.\nThere’s even a third option: arms across. This mimics the way many tots position themselves when they’re self-soothing, and it’s a strong choice for babies who resist the arms down position, but don’t seem too happy with arms up either.\nUltimately, the best position depends on your baby’s preferences. Some babies may like to have their arms down, others feel most at ease with them up, and still others might find the arms-across position to be the perfect compromise. Since you can’t ask them, your best option is to experiment — sooner or later you’ll find a position that works!\nIs it okay not to swaddle your baby?\nOf course! While swaddling can be beneficial, it’s by no means mandatory. Some babies simply don’t enjoy being swaddled, and forcing it can cause more distress than comfort. If your baby seems happier sleeping without a swaddle, that’s perfectly fine.\nThere are plenty of other ways to help your baby feel secure and promote good sleep. Skin-to-skin contact, soothing bedtime routines (such as baby massage or white noise), and using a baby sleep sack are all excellent alternatives. The most important thing is to follow your baby’s cues and do what works best for you both.\nCan you breastfeed a swaddled baby?\nYou wouldn’t want to eat your lunch in a straitjacket! Your baby should always be unswaddled for feeds — whether you’re feeding them via breast or bottle — as it’s often not possible to achieve a good position or nipple attachment, while swaddling could also restrict your little one’s digestive system.\nFeeding is also a sensory experience for babies, so it’s important for them to be able to move freely — even during night feeds when removing them from their swaddle can seem like an unwanted effort!\nHow do I know if my baby is swaddled too tightly?\nThe finger check.\nTo check if the swaddle is secure but not restrictive, try slipping two fingers between the blanket and your baby’s chest. If this is difficult or impossible, the swaddle is too tight.\nPay attention to your baby’s behavior as well. If they seem unusually fussy, have trouble breathing, or show signs of overheating, these could be indicators that the swaddle needs to be adjusted.\nWhether you choose arms up, down, or across — or even decide to skip swaddling altogether (not all babies like being swaddled!) — what matters most is that you follow your baby’s cues. With a little practice and often buckets of patience, you’ll find a swaddling method that works best for your little one, ensuring they’re able to make the most of their slumbertime — and you’re able to get a little shuteye of your own!\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7476            "description":"What sleep positions are recommended for newborns?As per the American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe sleep guid
7476ance, newborns should always be placed on their backs to sleep unless there’s a medical reason not to. Known as the “supine” position, this is the safest sleep position because it minimizes the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is increased when a baby sleeps on their stomach or side.It’s also important for newborns to sleep on a firm, flat mattress (with no incline or tilt) covered with a fitted sheet. Their bed should be free of any loose items or soft objects like pillows, loose bedding, or soft toys. To further reduce the risk of SIDS, it’s recommended that your baby sleeps in the same room as a parent or caregiver for at least the first six months.Why should newborns sleep on their backs?In the 1990s, a campaign called “Back to Sleep” was launched, educating parents on the importance of placing newborn babies on their backs to sleep. This has led to a significant reduction in SIDS cases — in the US, for example, occurrences of SIDS have declined by more than 50% since the campaign’s introduction in 1994. For a newborn, sleeping on their side or stomach can dramatically increase the risk of SIDS. Stomach sleeping may multiply the risk by almost 13 times, for example, partly as there’s a higher chance of their airway becoming blocked, while they can also rebreathe “expired” air and take in too much carbon dioxide. This is why back sleeping is always the safest option.Isn’t back sleeping dangerous for babies?Some parents fear that if their baby vomits or spits up during the night, there’s a greater risk of them choking if they’re sleeping on their back because of, well, gravity. This concern is understandable, but when a baby is on their back, their trachea (windpipe) sits above the esophagus (food pipe), so if they spit up, gravity pulls it down the esophagus and not into the airway.Conversely, when a baby sleeps on their stomach, the esophagus is above the trachea, meaning regurgitated fluids can flow more easily into the windpipe and increase the risk of choking.Is it safe for my baby to sleep on their side?It’s not safe for your baby to sleep on their side until they can roll over on their own, which typically happens somewhere between 4 and 6 months. For newborns and babies who haven’t yet mastered rolling by themselves, side sleeping increases the risk of them turning onto their stomach and not being able to reposition themselves — which poses a much greater risk of SIDS.When is it safe for a baby to sleep on their stomach?As with side sleeping, a baby can safely sleep on their stomach once they’ve gained the motor skills to roll over on both sides by themselves. Before this, stomach sleeping can be very dangerous as it’s associated with a higher risk of SIDS. You should always put your baby on their back to sleep.When your baby is able to roll over independently, there’s not necessarily any need to reposition them if they happen to roll onto their side or stomach while sleeping. That said, when putting them down to sleep it’s best to still place them on their back — on a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet and no loose bedding or objects — until at least their first birthday.What if my baby rolls onto their stomach during the night?If your baby can roll over unaided — as they’re usually able to from around 4-6 months — it’s not usually a cause for concern if they turn over onto their stomach during the night. Unless they appear uncomfortable or are struggling to breathe, you needn’t panic or feel the need to flip them over onto their back every time.If your little one isn’t yet capable of rolling by themselves, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to turn onto their stomach if laying on their back. If they do somehow manage it, gently turn them over onto their back, and consider monitoring them periodically to ensure they’re sleeping in a safe and comfortable position.Of course, if you’re at all concerned about your baby’s sleeping positions, it’s always best to consult your pediatrician.What if my baby refuses to sleep on their back?Knowing that back sleeping is by far the safest way for your baby to snooze, it can be concerning if they resist sleeping on their back or become agitated when you try to lay them in this position. Most babies sleep happily on their backs, but if they do put up a fight, here are a few things you can do: Consider swaddling. For newborns, swaddling recreates the cozy, secure feeling of being in the womb, and can help soothe them to sleep while keeping them in a safe position.\nCheck for signs of discomfort. Your baby might be resistant to sleeping on their back if they’re uncomfortable due to gas or reflux. In this case, consider feeding them earlier before bedtime and keep them upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding. \nAim for drowsy but awake. Laying your baby down for a doze when they’re sleepy but not yet fully asleep can help them learn to self-settle, which may help them drift off more easily if they’re typically resistant to bedtime.\nBe persistent. Until they’re able to roll over, on their back is the only safe way for a baby to sleep. It’s important to lay them on their back to sleep consistently, establishing a clockwork-like bedtime routine to signal when it’s time for bed.\nConsult your pediatrician. If your baby consistently refuses to sleep on their back and you can see no underlying reason, it’s best to seek professional advice.\nWe don’t recommend the use of so-called “anti-roll” devices or “sleep positioners”, as these can increase the risk of suffocation. As mentioned above, aside from a firm mattress and a fitted sheet, nothing should be in your baby’s bed other than your baby.Of course, you can’t keep your eyes on your baby every second they’re sleeping — you need your rest, too — but remembering the mantra of “back to sleep” and placing them on their back on a firm, flat surface is always safest for your baby. It’s less of a concern when they develop the ability to roll back and forth themselves, but back sleeping is best for at least their first year. As they grow into a walking, talking little person, they’ll discover their favorite sleeping position all by themselves — maybe you’ll even have a little starfish on your hands!Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7499            "description":"Who invented the 5 S’s of sleep?\nWe’ve got Dr. Harvey Karp to thank for the 5 S’s of sleep. A pediatrician and child development expert, Dr. Karp is renowned worldwide for developing this technique, first introducing it in his 2002 book The Happiest Baby on the Block.\nDuring his time with UCLA’s child abuse team, Dr. Karp witnessed first-hand how babies were often severely injured, abandoned, or killed — just for crying. Determined to do whatever he could to prevent this, he devoted all his time to figuring out the cause of colic (persistent crying most often seen in infants between 1-4 months of age).\nThe results of his research were fascinating. In 1981, he learned about the !Kung people of the Kalahari Desert. Among the !Kung, mothers rarely deal with prolonged crying because they spend nearly 24 hours a day holding, feeding, rocking, and jiggling their babies — essentially recreating the comforting sensations of the womb.\nAfter discovering this, Dr. Karp figured that parents need to understand just two things:\n\n\nBabies are born neurologically immature and need a “fourth trimester” of womb-like care.\n\n\nReplicating the soothing environment of the womb using simple but effective techniques is the best way to help a crying baby relax.\n\n\nThis second factor is because all tots have a calming reflex — a neurological response that essentially acts as nature’s off-switch for fussiness — and this is where Dr. Karp came up with the 5 S’s.\nWhat are the 5 S’s of sleep for babies?\nThe 5 S’s stand for Swaddle, Side or Stomach Position, Shush, Swing, and Suck — quite a mouthful, but it makes for a great tongue twister!\nNow, let’s take a look at each of the S’s in detail
7499:\nSwaddle\nEven us adults find it hard to sleep unless we’re feeling snug and cozy, and while we might not have any memories of being swaddled as babies, many will remember the safety and comfort of being ‘tucked in’ at bedtime.\nSwaddling — that is, wrapping your tot in a blanket to create a cocoon-like environment, mimicking the confined conditions of the womb — is the first of the S’s. It’s highly effective at reducing crying and can even prevent your baby from startling themselves awake, by reducing the Moro reflex.\nTo swaddle safely:\n\n\nUse a soft, breathable blanket and wrap it around your little one securely but not too tightly.\n\n\nMake sure your baby’s hips can move freely to avoid any risk of hip dysplasia.\n\n\nAvoid covering your baby’s face or allowing the blanket to loosen, as this can pose a suffocation risk.\n\n\nBe aware, too, that it’s not recommended to swaddle your baby for unsupervised sleep, as it’s thought that it may increase the risk of SIDS. Similarly, it’s only suitable for babies that aren’t yet able to roll over — some babies develop this ability around 3-4 months, and you should avoid swaddling as soon as your baby displays rolling abilities (or by 16 weeks at the latest).\nIt’s equally important to remember that not all babies enjoy being swaddled, so you should pay attention to their cues and not force swaddling upon them if they appear agitated or uncomfortable — it isn’t right for every baby, and that’s okay.\nSide or Stomach Position\nBabies often feel more comfortable when placed on their side or stomach while being soothed. Like swaddling, this position helps reduce the Moro reflex and can be especially helpful for babies with colic or reflux.\nIt’s also worth mentioning that while the side or stomach position is a great way of calming your baby down when they’re crying, you should always place your little one on their back when it’s time for them to sleep.\nShush\nNobody likes to be shushed — apart from babies. “Shushing” is a surprisingly potent way of calming your tot, perhaps thanks to the fact the sound mimics the white noise they would’ve heard in the womb, where blood flow and amniotic fluids coalesce into a constant whooshing sound. Dreamy!\nYou can shush your tot the old-fashioned way, use a purpose-built white noise machine, or find a suitable white noise soundtrack on YouTube. Just make sure the volume isn’t too loud — anything over 60dB could damage your tot’s sensitive little ear drums — and if you’re using a white noise machine, it should be placed at least 2 meters from their crib.\nSwing\nThere’s a reason “Rock-a-Bye-Baby” is such a popular lullaby… Gentle, rhythmic motion — such as rocking or swinging — can have an almost magical effect on a fussy tot. This movement mimics the sensation of being rocked in the womb, creating a deep sense of safety, security, and relaxation.\nResearch proves that rocking — whether in your arms, or with a smart bassinet — can reduce crying, hasten sleep onset, and even improve overall sleep quality. However, if you’re trying to soothe a wailing tot, you’ve got to adjust your technique accordingly. Instead of slow and steady, use faster, smaller motions, moving no more than an inch or two back and forth. Just remember to support your baby’s head and neck at all times.\nInterestingly, rocking isn’t just beneficial for your little one, either. Studies also show that adults who were rocked before bedtime find it easier to drift off (so consider investing in a hammock if you often find yourself tossing and turning!)\nFor this ‘S’, try:\n\n\nRocking your baby in your arms.\n\n\nWearing your baby in a sling or carrier while walking.\n\n\nUsing a baby swing (always follow safety guidelines and avoid prolonged use).\n\n\nJust be sure to transition your baby to a stationary sleep environment once they’re ready for a nap. You should never let your baby sleep in a swing, for example — instead, transfer them to a firm mattress when they’re tired.\nSuck\nThe final S really sucks…\nResearch shows that non-nutritive sucking (sucking on a pacifier, for example) can reduce crying and help regulate a baby’s heart rate. And better yet, it may al
7499so reduce the risk of SIDS when used during sleep.\nIf you’re breastfeeding though, try to establish a strong nursing routine before introducing a pacifier to avoid nipple confusion, otherwise your baby may get fussy when making the switch from teat to breast.\nWhat should I do if the 5 S’s technique doesn’t work?\nWhile we’re firm believers of Dr. Karp’s techniques, we also understand that what works for one tot won’t necessarily work for the next. Babies are complex little creatures, so don’t be discouraged if you’ve tried all of the steps above and your baby is still in miniature foghorn mode.\nIf this is the case, try these extra tips and tricks:\n\n\nMake sure your baby isn’t hungry, has a clean diaper, and isn’t too hot or cold. Sometimes the solution is simpler than it seems.\n\n\nThey might be unwell. Look for signs like fever, rash, or vomiting, and consult your pediatrician if you’re concerned.\n\n\nTry modifying your technique. If swaddling isn’t working, have you tried combining it with white noise? What about singing a lullaby while swinging?\n\n\nIt’s natural to feel stressed when your baby won’t stop crying, but remember that babies are highly attuned to their parents’ emotions. Try to stay calm and patient — your baby will sense this and may feel more at ease.\n\n\nReach out for support. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, whether from a partner, family member, or friend. Sleep deprivation can take a toll on your mental health\n\n\nMastering the 5 S’s won’t turn your tot into a quiet, peaceful sleeper overnight (we’ll let you know 
7499when we figure out how to achieve that!), but it will arm you with a set of powerful, scientifically-backed tools to navigate those early, challenging few months. \nSleepless nights suck (pun absolutely intended), but every evening spent soothing your troubled tot brings you closer to understanding the tricks and techniques your baby responds to best.

7522            "description":"What is SIDS?Sudden Infant Death Syndrome refers to the sudden, unexplained death of an otherwise healthy baby, typically (but not always) during sleep. It’s often referred to as ‘crib death’ because it tends to happen when babies are left unattended in their sleeping environments, but SIDS can happen anywhere. SIDS happens most often in babies under 6 months of age, with the peak risk occurring between 1 and 4 months. From 6 months onward, the risk of SIDS drops significantly.How common is SIDS?As we mentioned up top, SIDS is very rare, affecting less than 0.1% of live births in the US. While it’s uncommon, however, this still amounts to around 3,400 babies per year.Thankfully, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the rate of SIDS has been declining over the past few decades, and this is due in large part to an increased awareness about safe sleep practices.Do we know the exact cause of SIDS?Frustratingly, no — the exact cause of SIDS is unknown. Despite decades of research, no single factor has been pinpointed. But what we do know is that babies who experience SIDS often have other issues with how their brain controls automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The most popular theory behind SIDS is called the Triple Risk Hypothesis. This proposes that 3 factors increase the risk of a baby suffering from SIDS:\nAn underlying abnormality or immaturity in the baby’s automatic functions.\nThe baby’s age, with increased risk during the first few months of life.\nEnvironmental factors, such as stomach sleeping, overheating, or obstructions to the nose or mouth, such as from a loose blanket. \nIt’s also worth noting that up to 10% of SIDS deaths are due to irregular heartbeats, and some SIDS cases may have their root in an immune response resulting from an infection. Some cases have even been linked to seizures.What are the SIDS risk factors?You’ve probably heard that there are a lot of factors that can influence SIDS risk, and while it’s not something anyone wants to obsess over, knowing the key risk factors can help you make informed choices. Here are some of the big ones to keep in mind:\nSleep position: Babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides are at a higher risk. More on that in a second, but bottom line: back is best.\nSleep environment: Think of the crib as your baby’s “sleep zone”. The fewer hazards, the better — no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals (no matter how cute they look).\nParental smoking: Babies whose parents smoke are more at risk. This includes smoking during pregnancy or around the baby after birth.\nPrematurity or low birth weight: Babies who were born prematurely or with a low birth weight are at a slightly higher risk of SIDS. Their bodies are still working on developing all the systems they need, including the ones that regulate sleep and breathing.\nOverheating: Babies can’t regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so it’s essential to make sure they’re dressed appropriately (avoiding excessive layers) and the room is set to a comfortable temperature.\nWhy is stomach sleeping dangerous?You might have heard that “back is best” when it comes to sleeping, and there’s a very good reason for that. Stomach sleeping significantly increases the risk of SIDS.When babies sleep on their stomachs, their airways can get blocked more easily. Plus, they’re at a higher risk of rebreathing their own exhaled air, which can lower the oxygen level in their blood and mess with their breathing.On top of that, when babies sleep on their stomachs, it’s harder for them to lift their heads or turn them if they’re uncomfortable or if their breathing is restricted. Since babies' muscles and motor skills are still developing, they don’t have the ability to adjust their position as quickly as older children or adults.So, to keep it simple: always place your baby on their back to sleep.What age are babies most vulnerable to SIDS?More than 9 in 10 SIDS-related deaths occur in the first 6 months, with babies most at risk between 1-4 months old. This is the peri
7522od where most cases of SIDS occur, and it’s why the first few months of your baby’s life can feel like an endless cycle of worrying (and lack of sleep).The good news is, the risk of SIDS drops significantly after 6 months, and reduces further after 8 months. By the time your baby reaches their first birthday, the risk of SIDS is much lower. However, it’s important to continue with safe sleep practices to keep your little one as safe as possible.Here’s a rough breakdown of SIDS risk by age:\n0-1 months: Low risk. SIDS is very uncommon during the first month of life.\n1-4 months: Highest risk. The majority of SIDS cases occur between 1 and 4 months, making it the most high-risk period.\n4-6 months: Significant risk. While SIDS cases are rarer after 4 months, the risk remains fairly high for the first 6 months of your baby’s life.\n6-8 months: Reduced risk. Fewer than 10% of SIDS cases occur after 6 months, so the risk is much lower at this stage.\n8-12 months: Low risk. SIDS is very rare after 8 months, but you should still follow safe sleep guidelines to ensure your baby is safe while snoozing.\nHow to reduce the risk of SIDSSo, with all of the above in mind — how do we prevent SIDS and keep our babies as safe as can be while they’re snoozin’? Here are some essential guidelines that experts recommend:\nPut them on their back: Always lay your baby down on their back to sleep (no tummy sleeping), even during naps. \nUse a firm, flat mattress: Your baby should sleep on a firm, flat surface with no soft bedding, pillows, or soft toys.\nAvoid smoking: You should never smoke during pregnancy or around your baby, as this can dramatically increase the risk of SIDS. The same applies to anyone holding or caring for your little one.\nKeep baby cool: Dress your baby in light layers and keep the room temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C). Adjust their layers accordingly if they feel too hot or too cold.\nConsider room-sharing, not bed-sharing: It’s recommended that babies sleep in the same room as you (but not in your bed) for at least the first six months. This helps with monitoring while still keeping them safe.\nBreastfeed where possible: If you’re able to breastfeed, this has been shown to lower the risk of SIDS.\nBy following these tips, you can help reduce the risk of SIDS and give your baby the safest sleep environment possible.Does room sharing help reduce the risk of SIDS?Room-sharing can significantly reduce the risk of SIDS, and this is backed by evidence from the American Academy of Pediatrics — the AAP recommends that babies sleep in their parents’ room for at least the first 6 months. Sleeping in the same room as your baby makes it much easier to monitor them during the night and respond like lightning if you notice anything unusual. A bassinet or a crib next to your bed for the first 6 months is the safest place for your tot to sleep.We understand, SIDS is a scary topic — but forewarned is forearmed. By following all of the expert-approved advice above, you’ll reduce the likelihood of SIDS and ensure your tot’s snoozing sessions are as safe as possible.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7545            "description":"Is it safe for a newborn to sleep with a blanket?\nIf we’re talking about covering your baby with a loose blanket, the answer’s no. Loose blankets pose a significant safety risk to babies under 12 months old, since there’s a danger of the blanket covering their nose or mouth and causing suffocation. Because of this, the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is dramatically increased. The same goes for comforters, pillows, and soft toys.\nHowever, as long as it’s tucked in snugly on all sides — with your baby’s feet at the foot of the crib and the blanket coming no higher than their shoulders — then it’s generally safe for your newborn to sleep with a blanket. Just remember that they should sleep on their back on a firm, flat surface, free from any loose bedding or objects.\nHow else can I keep my baby w
7545arm at night?\nIn addition to using a safely tucked-in blanket, there are a few other things you can do to keep them warm and snuggly enough as they sleep — especially in the winter months when their room might get particularly chilly. For example:\n\n\nUse a sleep sack or sleeping bag, ensuring it fits snugly while still allowing your baby to move their legs freely.\n\n\nKeep the room temperature at 68–72°F (20–22°C), as this creates the optimal conditions for safe, comfortable sleep.\n\n\nAdd layers — for example, a snug-fitting onesie and a pair of footed pajamas (if in doubt, dress your baby in one more layer than you’d wear in the same room).\n\n\nIf it’s particularly cold, keep their hands and feet covered with mittens and socks — but ensure they fit snugly so they can’t slip off and cause a hazard.\n\n\nOf course, while you want to create a warm, cozy environment for your little one, it’s essential not to risk overheating your baby by putting them in too many layers or setting the room temperature too high. If their back or neck feel sweaty to the touch, you should consider removing a layer of clothing or lowering the temperature.\nWhen is it safe for a baby to sleep with a loose blanket?\nAs per the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), it’s not safe for your baby to sleep with any loose bedding or objects in their sleeping area — including soft toys, pillows, and blankets — until they’re at least 12 months old, while many experts suggest it’s best to wait at least 18 months (especially if your baby was born prematurely).\nBy 12 months, most babies have developed the physical and motor skills needed to roll over, reposition themselves, and push objects away if they obstruct their breathing, so it’s generally much safer to introduce loose bedding. There’s also a much lower risk of SIDS at this stage, so the presence of a loose blanket poses less of a safety concern.\nIf you do decide to let your baby sleep with a loose blanket from 12 months onwards, here are a few factors to consider:\n\n\nChoose a blanket made from a thin, breathable material such as cotton or muslin.\n\n\nAvoid heavy, thick blankets like quilt
7545s of comforters.\n\n\nMake sure the blanket has no loose elements attached like buttons, ribbons, or tassels.\n\n\nThe blanket should be appropriately-sized for your little one — with no excess blanket hanging over their crib or bed.\n\n\nTo introduce a loose blanket safely, it’s often best to offer it during supervised naps at first, so you can see how your baby adjusts. You should lay the blanket securely across them, tucking it in at the sides of the crib if needed to reduce movement. It’s important to place the blanket no higher than their shoulders to avoid covering their face.\nCan I swaddle my baby in a blanket?\nYes. While it’s not recommended to let your baby sleep with a loose blanket until at least 12 months of age, swaddling them in one is a different matter. This involves snugly wrapping them in a thin, breathable blanket, creating a womb-like sense of security and calm — which can help to tame your baby’s Moro reflex and encourage longer, deeper sleep.\nSwaddling your baby isn’t something you should necessarily do for every sleep, but it can be useful for those times they’re feeling particularly fussy or sleep-resistant.\nIn order to swaddle your baby safely, it’s important to remember the following:\n\n\nAlways place your swaddled baby on their back on a firm, flat surface.\n\n\nKeep the swaddle snug but not too tight, ensuring they’re comfortable but allowing for natural movement.\n\n\nDress your baby in light layers to avoid overheating.\n\n\nAvoid placing any loose items in the bed such as pillows or soft toys.\n\n\nWhen should I stop swaddling my baby?\nYou should avoid swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs they’re able to roll over. Swaddling restricts movement, so it can be dangerous if your baby manages to roll onto their stomach and is then unable to roll back into a safe sleeping position.\nBabies usually show signs of ‘rollability’ at around 2 months, but you should stop swaddling altogether by 16 weeks at the very latest.\nThe blanket-or-no-blanket debate can be a little confusing, since they can be great for things like swaddling but can’t be used as loose bedding for at least the first year. The general rule is: covering your newborn in a snugly tucked-in blanket is perfectly fine, but sleeping with a loose blanket is a no-no until they’re at least 12 months old. \nFor more information on creating the optimal conditions for safe, cozy sleep, take a look at our guides to setting your baby’s room temperature and how to dress them for bed.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.",

7568            "description":"Why won’t my teething baby sleep?\nWe can sum this up in two words: severe discomfort. As you might expect, the process of your little one’s teeth literally pushing their way through their gums can cause all sorts of tenderness, inflammation, and pain. This is doubly true during the evening when there are fewer distractions.\nTeething tots may even experience additional symptoms like drooling, mild fever, or even diarrhea — all of which aren’t exactly conducive to a good night’s sleep…\nAnd then there’s the disruption in feeding patterns. Some babies may refuse to nurse or bottle-feed due to gum pain, which can have a knock-on effect at bedtime when hunger prevents them from settling.\nHow long does teething last?\nEach tooth usually takes between 1-7 days to break the gumline, and the discomfort can begin a few days before the tooth emerges and continue for a few days after.\nTeething typically starts at around 4-7 months of age (which can sometimes coincide with the 4-month sleep regression) but it’s not uncommon for some tots to start teething earlier or later. As with all developmental milestones, every baby reaches them at their own pace.\nTeething continues well into toddlerhood, and most children will have their full set of bite-sized pearly whites by the age of three.\nTeething stages\nLet’s take a look at a rough teething timeline. Remember — every tot is different, but this guide will give you a good general overview of what to expect at each stage.\nPre-teething stage: Babies are born with 20 primary teeth (or “milk teeth”) in the jawbones beneath their gums.\nIncisors: The lower and upper incisors (the front teeth) are typically the first to appear, usually between 6–8 months of age, but the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort may start even earlier. Before the teeth erupt from the gums, your tot may start chewing on their toys, blanket, your boob — basically anything they can fit in their mouth. This is normal baby behaviour and n
7568ot necessarily a sign of teething, but it may become more frequent as their first teeth begin to appear.\nPressure helps to alleviate the pain, so rather than prevent them from chewing, keep a few chew-safe items to hand. It’s also worth investing in a bib — while drooling is also very common in babies whether they’re teething or not, their drool production will likely ramp up at this stage, and keeping their chin dry will prevent any rashes from forming around their mouth.\nFirst molars: Emerging between 12–16 months, these can be particularly painful due to their larger size. Expect more drool, more fussiness, and more things to chew, please! \nYou might also notice a change in appetite or diarrhea at this stage too. If that’s the case, don’t worry, this is relatively normal — as are the sleep disturbances you’ll both experience. However, if your tot’s symptoms seem particularly extreme, it’s always worth consulting a pediatrician, just to be on the safe side.\nCanines (pointy teeth): Between 16-22 months of age, the canines will surface. As with stage 2 and 3, make sure your little one’s got plenty of chewables, and a bib for their drool.\nSecond molars: Now it’s time for the large molars — and this can get particularly painful. These are the biggest teeth, and once they start to come through — usually around 2 years of age — you might find that your normal soothing techniques are no longer viable. Unfortunately, all you can do is try your best to ease their discomfort using some of the tips and tricks detailed below.\nHow to help your teething tot get some sleep\nWhile teething an extremely uncomfortable and painful phase of life, it’s also a necessary one. Every tot has to go through the teething stage — but with the tips below, you can soothe your baby’s discomfort and raise the likelihood of a peaceful night’s sleep for the both of you.\nChill their mouth\nCold can numb the pain and reduce inflammation. Try offering your baby a chilled (not frozen) teething toy or washcloth to chew on. You can also let them sip from a bottle of cold water or offer them some chilled watermelon, cucumber, or yoghurt if they’re old enough. Just ensure whatever they put in their mouth is clean and safe to chew.\nOffer a teething ring\nTeething rings are a classic remedy for a reason. Many are designed with textured surfaces that massage the gums, providing relief. Opt for BPA-free silicone or rubber options, and avoid ones filled with liquid, as they can leak if punctured.\nMassage the gums\nUse a clean finger or a damp gauze pad to gently rub your baby’s gums. This can provide instant relief by counteracting the pressure from erupting teeth. Some parents also find success using a teething gel or purpose-made silicone finger sheath, but consult your pediatrician before applying any products directly to your baby’s gums.\nTry over-the-counter medication\nIf your baby’s discomfort is severe, over-the-counter infant pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen (for babies over 6 months) can help. Just remember to consult your pediatrician before administering medication and ensure you’re using the correct dosage for your baby’s weight and age.\nGet rid of drool\nExcess drooling is a common teething symptom that can cause rashes around the mouth and chin. Keep their face dry by gently dabbing with a soft cloth throughout the day, and if you notice your little one’s skin is drying out, use a baby-safe moisturiser or barrier cream as an extra defense.\nStick to your bedtime routine\nFamiliar rituals like a warm bath, a gentle massage, or a lullaby can help signal to your baby that it’s time to wind down. Even if teething interrupts their sleep, maintaining a routine will make it easier to re-establish healthy habits later.\nTry using a bottle\nIf your tot’s over 6 months of age, you can try filling a sippy cup with water and letting them suck on it to relieve their pain. Only use water or breastmilk, though — sugary liquids or juices will cause tooth decay!\nDo teething babies sleep more often?\nContrary to what some parents might believe, teething doesn’t typically make babies sleep more. In fact, it’s more likely to disrupt sleep due to the discomfort it causes. However, some babies might seem drowsy during the day as a result of disrupted nighttime sleep.\nAs always, keep an eye on your baby — if they’re unusually lethargic or sleeping excessively, it could be a sign of illness rather than teething, and you should consult your pediatrician.\nD
7568oes teething cause sleep regression?\nWhile teething itself doesn’t cause sleep regression, it can introduce temporary sleep disruptions, and the emergence of the first teeth can sometimes coincide with the 4-month sleep regression. Fortunately though, once the tooth breaks through and the discomfort subsides, your baby’s sleep patterns should normalise.\nLike so many other troublesome developmental periods, teething can feel like an uphill battle — but as always, patience is key! The methods we’ve included here should help your little one find some comfort during bedtime, but trial and error is often required. What works for one teething tot might not for another, so experiment, find what helps, and stick with it.

7591            "description":"Is music good for babies while sleeping?Absolutely. There’s a reason why singing lullabies has remained a practice used universally by parents for thousands of years — from Ancient Egypt and medieval England to the remote tribes of the Amazon, the power of music has been understood for millennia.And the benefits go beyond sleep, too. In 2002, a study found that music improved premature babies’ heart rates and breathing patterns. Similarly, music therapy has been shown to reduce stress in babies and even promote healthy cognitive development. What’s the best music for baby sleep?Assuming your baby hasn’t figured out how to create their own playlists (and if they have, congrats on your little genius!) there’s going to be a little guesswork involved here. Just like adults, every tot has their own musical tastes, so what works for one baby might not necessarily work for another.However, thanks to the thousands of years of trial and error performed by the billions of parents before us, we’ve learned a thing or two about the type of tunes babies tend to dig. The best music for baby sleep tends to be:\nGentle and slow-paced: Songs with a tempo of around 60-80 beats per minute  (similar to a resting heart rate) tend to work well, as they mimic the rhythm of your heartbeat — a familiar soundtrack from their days in the womb. The jury’s out on whether babies consider songs with this tempo ‘throwback anthems’, but we like the idea nonetheless. \nSimple and repetitive: Babies find comfort in predictability, so songs with repetitive melodies and rhythms are a surefire hit.\nSoft and low-volume: This probably goes without saying, but loud or sudden sounds are likely to startle your tot, so it’s a good idea to avoid the thrash metal for now. Besides, rock music is far more suited to the chaos of toddlerdom, no?\nWhich genres of music do babies like the best?Provided you’re not relying on music to calm your baby before bed, basically anything goes. From Baby Shark to Mozart’s 5th, little ones have broad tastes. As long as the tunes are kept to a safe volume (below 50dB), feel free to experiment. However, if you’re looking for specific recommendations for soothing your baby to sleep, may we suggest:Ambient music for babiesA genre widely believed to be invented by Erik Satie, ambient music — or as he referred to it, “furniture music” — is unobtrusive, relaxing, and in many cases, utterly hypnotic, making it ideal bedtime listening. Track recommendations:“Weightless” by Marconi Union — often cited as one of the most relaxing songs ever created, this track is ideal for winding down.“19” by Aphex Twin — an artist more typically associated with frenetic, clamorous electronica, this dreamy soundscape is one of several ambient compositions with a reputation for utter relaxation among listeners.“1\/1” by Brian Eno — the opening track from “Music for Airports”, an album designed to calm listeners who suffer from a fear of flying. Classical music for babiesWhile the so-called “Mozart Effect” (the claim that listening to classical music boosts IQ) is still debated, there’s no denying its calming and engaging qualities. Not sure where to start? Try these on for size:Track recommendations:“Gymnopedie No. 1” by Erik Satie — instantly recognisable and endlessly replayable. The cozy, ambling composition is considered one of the very first ambient compositions. “Clair de Lune” by Debussy — French for “moonlight”, Clair de Lune is arguably one of the most relaxing piano pieces ever composed.“Notturno” by Ottorino Respighi — a beautiful, breathy composition, perfect for bedtime. Jazz music for babiesJazz can be surprisingly soothing for babies — but we’d recommend against taking your baby to a smoky bar in the city to enjoy it. Try these classics and see how they react:Track recommendations:“What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong — a timeless classic with a soothing melody and Louis’ trademark hu
7591sky tones. “Peace Piece” by Bill Evans — the ultimate “let’s tuck up and get cozy” soundtrack. “Dream a Little Dream of Me” by The Mamas \u0026amp; The Papas — this soft, lullaby-like tune is perfect for cuddles.Lullabies for infant sleepLullabies have been used for centuries to calm fussy babies and encourage sleep. Why are they so effective? The answer lies in their structure and emotional tone. Most lullabies feature slow tempos, simple melodies, and soothing lyrics, all of which work together to relax both the body and mind.Research backs up the efficacy of lullabies in promoting sleep. A study published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing found that singing lullabies to babies not only helped them fall asleep faster but also improved the parent-child bond. Another study from the University of Montreal noted that live singing helps babies to develop a knack for emotional self-control.The best lullabies for baby sleepSome timeless lullabies have stood the test of time for good reason. Here are a few classics you might consider:“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”: This gentle melody is a universal favorite, with simple lyrics that practically everyone knows off-by-heart.“Brahms’ Lullaby” (Wiegenlied): A staple in baby playlists, this classical piece has a serene and repetitive structure perfect for inducing sleep.“Hush, Little Baby”: This traditional lullaby’s soothing tune and promise of comfort make it a go-to for bedtime routines.“Rock-a-Bye Baby”: While the lyrics may seem a bit dramatic, the melody is undeniably soothing and has been used for generations.What about white noise?While music is undeniably effective, white noise has also gained popularity as a sleep aid for babies. White noise mimics the whooshing sounds of the womb, creating a familiar and comforting environment. It can also mask household noises that might otherwise disrupt your baby’s sleep.We’ve discussed the potential benefits and drawbacks of white noise at length in our comprehensive white noise for babies article, but here’s a brief overview of the pros and cons:Pros:\nHelps babies fall asleep faster by creating a consistent auditory environment.\nMasks sudden sounds like doors closing or dogs barking.\nCan be easily incorporated into bedtime routines using apps or white noise machines.\nCons:\nOver-reliance on white noise could make it harder for babies to fall asleep without it.\nPlaying white noise at too high a volume (above 50 decibels) could potentially harm a baby’s hearing.\nHow to introduce music into your baby’s bedtime routineReady to get those tunes thumpin’ (at a safe and reasonable volume of 60dB or less)? Follow these final tips below:\nStick to a routine: Babies thrive on consistency. Playing the same type of music at the same time each night can signal that it’s time for sleep.\nChoose the right volume: Keep the music soft enough that it doesn’t overwhelm your baby’s senses. Remember: keep it to 60dB or less!\nAvoid overstimulation: Songs with rapid tempos, dramatic shifts, or loud choruses can be too stimulating for bedtime. Save these for playtime!\nGive a live performance: Babies have a preference for their primary caregiver’s voice, so don’t be afraid to sing yourself — regardless of whether you hit every note perfectly!\nUltimately, every baby is different, and finding the right music might require a bit of trial and error. Some infants might respond better to traditional lullabies, while others find comfort in classical piano or gentle acoustic guitar. Some may even prefer the sound of silence — we can’t all be music aficionados. The key is to observe your baby’s reactions and adjust accordingly.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7614            "description":"Choosing baby sleep clothing: Factors to keep in mind\nBefore we dive into your tot’s seasonal sleepwear lookbook, let’s go over the non-negotiables — the elements every item of clothing should have:\nFirst, let’s talk about safety. Clothes might not seem inherently dangerous, but safe sleep guidelines are a crucial consideration when picking out your little one’s nighttime attire. Avoid overly bulky or loose clothing — these could pose a suffocation risk. Instead, seek out snug-fitting garments made from breathable fabrics. This way, you’ll reduce the risk of overheating, too.\nSecond up: comfort. Babies are divas when it comes to textures, and their skin is pretty prone to irritation, so choose soft, natural materials where possible — cotton or bamboo are your best bets.\nBabies can’t regulate their body temperature as well as adults either, so pay close attention to the ambient temperature of their room and dress them in snug-fitting layers that they can’t kick off. As a general rule, pop on one more layer than you’d wear.\nAnd finally, diapers. Poop is an inevitability of parenthood, so plan for it. Late-night diaper changes are difficult enough as it is, so opt for outfits with quick access to ground zero. Complicated garments might look 
7614sweet in the daylight, but once you’ve grappled with cumbersome fastenings at 3 AM, you’ll understand what we’re talking about…\nDressing your baby for sleep through the seasons\nTo misquote Carole King: “Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, all you’ve gotta do is … dress your baby appropriately.”\nWinter\nSnugness is the order of the season in Winter, but the challenge lies in keeping your tot toasty without overheating them.\nWe recommend going with a long-sleeved onesie as a base layer, followed by footed pajamas crafted from thick cotton. A baby-safe sleep sack with a TOG rating of 2.5 can provide additional warmth too, without the need for any extra blankets.\nAvoid hats, though. While, admittedly, rather adorable, headwear can increase the risk of overheating and pose a suffocation risk if it comes loose.\nSpring\nBeing a transitional season, Spring can be tricky — especially if you’re somewhere where March, April, and May can often feel like unpredictable extensions of Winter!\nFlexibility is your friend here. In warmer evenings, a short-sleeved onesie paired with some lightweight footed pajamas should be your go-to. If you’re dealing with chillier conditions, lean on layering to keep your little one comfy.\nSummer\nThose hot summer nights can prove tricky from a sleepwear standpoint. Yes, you’ve got to keep your baby cool, but you’ve also got to protect them from any draughts from fans, open windows, or air conditioning.\nGenerally, a short-sleeved onesie or even just a diaper covered by a lightweight sleep sack (TOG 0.5 or less) should be enough — but pay attention to your tot’s cues. If they seem fussy, that might indicate that a change of attire is required. If you notice clamminess or their skin seems flushed, try cooling them down by removing a layer.\nTry to avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester. Breathable fabrics like cotton, bamboo, or merino wool — all of which have excellent moisture-wicking properties — and will help keep your baby comfortable in the heat.\nFall\nAs Summer gives way to the cooler Autumn weather, it’s time to get cozy again. Layering is key here — a long-sleeved onesie paired with footed pajamas is a classic choice. A medium-weight sleep sack will also help your tot stay toasty — choose one with a TOG rating of 1.0 for particularly chilly evenings.\nThe best types of baby sleepwear\nAs you’ve likely gathered by now, there are loads of options when it comes to infant sleepwear. Whether you’re in the market for newborn sleepwear, or some cozy nighttime staples for a toddler, we’ve listed all possible options below:\nSleep sacks\nThe ultimate in coziness, a sleep 
7614sack is essentially a wearable blanket. They come in a range of TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) ratings, so they’re generally suitable for all seasons. Plenty of warmth, and no risk of entanglement — sleep sacks are an ideal, super-safe way to keep your little one comfortable, no matter the time of year.\nBlankets\nBlankets are a huge no-no for unsupervised sleep before your baby reaches 12 months of age, but if your tot’s settling down for a nap by your side, a blanket is just fine — just stick to breathable fabrics like muslin or fleece for ultimate comfort.\nFooted pajamas\nAll the coziness, sans socks. Footed pajamas are uber-comfortable and most even come equipped with handy zippers, making nighttime diaper changes a piece of cake. They also provide a greater degree of movement for your baby once they’re up and about.\nOnesies\nThe cornerstone of any baby’s wardrobe, onesies are super versatile and come in a range of sleeve lengths — shorter for warmer months, longer for chillier ones. They’re perfect as a base layer, or as a standalone piece, depending on the temperature.\nSocks\nKeeping your tot’s tiny toes warm is important, so stocking up on socks is always a good idea. Just keep in mind that they’re notorious for slipping off — especially on fussier babies. This is why the best baby socks have built-in soft elastic bands, allowing the socks to stay in place without digging in.\nMittens\nSimilar to socks, mittens are prone to be pulled off, so if you’re set on getting a pair or two, avoid any that have choking hazards like buttons, ribbons, or toggles. Mittens are also ideal if your tot tends to scratch their face.\nSwaddles\nSwaddling is a brilliant way to help your baby settle down, and a dedicated swaddling blanket is a worthwhile addition to any infant’s sleepwear collection. Swaddling reduces your tot’s startle reflex, making them less prone to frequent waking, but it’s important to follow safe swaddling guidelines at all times. Here’s a quick guide to safe swaddling:\n\n\nSpread the swaddle blanket flat on a surface in a diamond shape. Fold down the top corner to create a straight edge, forming a small triangle.\n\n\nPlace your baby on their back with their shoulders just below the folded edge. Their head should be above the blanket to ensure nothing covers their face.\n\n\nGently straighten your baby’s left arm along their side. Take the left corner of the blanket and bring it across their body, tucking it snugly under their right side. Leave the right arm free for now.\n\n\nFold the bottom of the blanket up over your baby’s feet. Tuck the fabric into the top of the swaddle without restricting leg movement. The baby should be able to bend their legs freely to avoid hip issues.\n\n\nStraighten your baby’s right arm along their side. Bring the right corner of the blanket across their body and tuck it snugly under their left side, creating a secure fit.\n\n\nEnsure the swaddle is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the swaddle and your baby’s chest. Their hips and legs should remain loose and able to move within the blanket.\n\n\nHow to tell if my baby is cold at night\nWondering if you’ve got a chilly tot? Thankfully, it’s fairly easy to tell if your baby’s in need of a little extra warmth. Look out for the following signs:\n\n\nPale complexion\n\n\nSkin cold to the touch\n\n\nFrequent waking or fussiness\n\n\nRosy red cheeks\n\n\nLack of interest in feeding\n\n\nIf you notice one or more of the signs above, check the room temperature — the ideal range is between 68 and 72°F (20-22°C).\nHow to tell if my baby is too hot at night\nOverheating is just as dangerous to your baby as being too chilly — especially as it’s linked to an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. These are the signs to look out for:\n\n\nSweaty neck or head\n\n\nFlushed, red or blotchy skin — particularly on the face\n\n\nRapid breathing\n\n\nIncreased lethargy or drowsiness\n\n\nWarm chest or back\n\n\nIf you notice any of the signs above, consider adjusting their clothing. If they’re wearing a few layers, remove one or tw
7614o, or switch to lighter fabrics. Check the room’s temperature, remembering to keep it in the goldilocks zone of 68-72°F (20-22°C). Consider offering a feed too, just to keep their hydration levels up.\nHowever, it’s important not to overcorrect. Cooling your baby too rapidly can be just as dangerous as leaving them to stew in sauna-like conditions — adjust the room’s temperature gradually.\nKitting your little one out with a wardrobe full of slumber-ready clothing items is crucial if you’re keen for your tot to get the most out of their naps — day or night. But it’s not just about their attire — there’s a fine art to putting your baby to bed, and every detail matters.

7637            "description":"What is self-settling?As the name suggests, self-settling refers to your baby’s ability to settle themselves to sleep without needing to be pacified, comforted, or fed. It means they’re able to fall asleep independently, as well as settling themselves back to sleep — with minimal fussing and crying — when they wake up.Babies’ early sleep patterns are pretty erratic, and it’s normal for them to wake frequently during the night. Developing the capacity to self-settle means they don’t necessarily rely on you to console them every time they rouse — which helps them get better quality sleep and gives you a little more nighttime peace and quiet. What’s the difference between self-settling and self-soothing?While these terms are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different aspects of sleep and emotional regulation. Self-settling is the ability of a baby to fall asleep independently, without the need for rocking, feeding, or patting, and is a skill that develops over time through a consistent routine and a secure sleep environment.Self-soothing relates to a baby’s ability to regulate their emotions and calm themselves when upset. This typically evolves gradually — over years rather than months — as emotional regulation requires neurological and developmental maturity. Expecting babies, especially those under six months, to self-soothe is widely regarded as unrealistic.When can babies start self-settling?First things first: newborns don’t have the ability to self-settle, so for roughly the first three months of their life they’ll likely require physical and emotional reassurance to help them fall asleep and settle back down when they wake up. This is called “responsive settling”, and involves identifying your baby’s nighttime needs and responding accordingly.When they reach around 3 or 4 months of age, it’s possible for babies to start learning to self-settle. By 6 months they’re far more likely to be sleeping through the night without waking, so at this stage they’re often able to sleep far more independently — without the need to be fed or comforted back to sleep when they wake up.This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, of course — there aren’t many of these when it comes to parenting — and for some little ones it can take longer to develop self-settling capabilities. Rest assured this isn’t usually anything to worry about, and your baby may just need a little more time and encouragement before they’re able to settle independently.How do I know if my baby is self-settling?Your baby might take to self-settling quite naturally, or they may require a little help on their journey to 
7637sleep independence. Either way, how can you tell when they’re ready and able to self-settle? Well, fortunately, there are a few “self-settling behaviors” you can look out for, which will give a good indication that your baby is learning to settle down by themselves.Here are some telltale signs of self-settling to look for in your baby:They’re becoming a right little suckerGiven that it’s exclusively how they feed as a newborn, babies learn to associate the act of sucking with nourishment and security — which is perhaps why even older children often take a while to grow out of thumb-sucking as a soothing, sleep-inducing failsafe.Babies are born with a natural sucking reflex, and if you notice they’re beginning to suck on their fists, fingers or thumbs — or they readily take a pacifier into their mouth when offered — this is a sign they’re learning techniques that will help them eventually pacify themselves.They’re rocking their head from side to sideIt’s probably a bit early for your little one to have developed a taste for head-banging heavy metal music — they’ll hopefully save that for their teens — but gentle head-rocking is one self-settling technique they may start to experiment with. Babies are often comforted by rhythmic and repetitive motions — like those they experienced in the womb — and rocking their head can provide a steady, soothing sensation that calms their nervous system and helps them drift off to sleep.They “say a little prayer”It’s unlikely Aretha Franklin was referring to her infant self’s ability to self-settle, but when your baby can pull their hands up to their midline so they resemble a “praying” position, it’s a sign they’re gaining increased control over their arm and hand movements.What does this have to do with self-settling? Well, bringing their hands together can provide a symmetrical, stable position that feels calming to a baby, while it also indicates they’re discovering the soothing qualities of self-touch.They’re touching their ears, nose, or hairContinuing along the theme of increased hand movements and body awareness, a baby who’s learning to self-settle may start to discover that it feels surprisingly calming to gently stroke their ears, rub their nose, or run their little fingers through their hair.Much like a parent’s soothing touch, these gentle actions often provide sensory stimulation and comfort — that said, frequent ear or nose touching can indicate discomfort or teething, so pay attention to increased fussiness or other symptoms such as a mild temperature.They’re falling asleep independentlyOne unmistakable sign of a baby who’s capable of self-settle? They’re already able to fall asleep by themselves without needing to be held, rocked, or fed — even if only occasionally.This doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t ever need comfort, of course — and there’s no guarantee they’ll settle back down independently if they wake up during the night — but it shows a decreasing reliance on parental intervention and suggests they’re beginning to discover their own soothing strategies.They’re not crying every time they wake upParticularly during the newborn stage, you’ll get used to the sound of your baby’s cries as they alert you to the fact that a) they’ve woken up, and b) they’re in need of feeding, comforting, or both. But this will happen less frequently as they get older.If more and more often they’re waking without crying — perhaps they’re gently whimpering or making gurgling noises rather than all-out blubbering — your baby is likely learning the art of self-settle, and will soon regularly be able to soothe themselves back to sleep.What if my baby is not self-settling?Self-settling doesn’t come naturally to all babies, and some will require a little more help and reassurance before they’re ready to fall asleep independently. It can also take some little ones longer to learn self-settling techniques than others, so it’s important to be patient and understand that your baby is unlikely to master it overnight.If your baby is refusing to self-settle, it might be because:\nThey lack a steady routine. Babies thrive on consistency and rhythm, and they may not feel secure enough to self-settle if they have an irregular bedtime schedule.\nTheir needs haven’t been met. Your baby is unlikely to settle down to sleep independently if they’re hungry, gassy, too hot or cold, or in need of a diaper change.\nThey’ve become dependent on “external” soothing. If your baby is accustomed to being fed, held, or rocked to sleep, it may take longer for them to learn self-settling techniques.\nThey’re experiencing separation anxiety. The fear of being separated from their caregiver often develops in babies from around 8 months, which can make it difficult for them to settle independently.\nThere’s a health condition or concern getting in the way. Look for symptoms such as a high temperature, skin changes, or a lack of appetite, as these may indicate an underlying health issue that’s preventing your baby from settling.\nThey’re not ready. All babies evolve at different speeds, and they may simply not feel ready to self-settle — remember, this ability doesn’t tend to develop until at least the 3-month stage.If your baby is really struggling to self-settle — perhaps they’re over 6 months old and they still consistently rely on you to settle them to sleep, or they’re waking with unusual regularity  — you can find plenty of tips for encouraging them to become more independent in our guide to How to Teach Your Baby to Self-Soothe.Of course, if you’ve exhausted all techniques and your baby is still unable to self-settle, or you think there might be an underlying medical reason behind your little one’s aversion to sleep independence, you should talk to your baby’s doctor or pediatrician.While your baby is unlikely to develop the hours-old instincts of a newborn giraffe or a freshly-hatched turtle, learning to self-settle is one big step towards greater independence — and recognizing the signs that they’re developing this ability can help you determine whether they need a little extra guid

7660            "description":"What’s the difference between a bassinet and a crib?\nThe most important distinction between a bassinet and a crib is size. A bassinet (or moses basket) is generally much smaller and more portable. It’s designed to be picked up and moved around — super handy in the early days when your tot needs to be by your side 24\/7.\nThere are a few more key differences that we’ve covered in our crib vs bassinet guide, but in short — bassinets are designed for newborns, while cribs or cots are a more permanent, sturdier, roomier choice for older babies.\nWhen should I transition my baby from a bassinet to a crib?\nBassinets are brilliant. They’re cozy, compact, and super convenient for day trips or middle-of-the-night feedings. But as your tot grows, there will come a time when the bassinet is no longer suitable (or safe).\nGenerally speaking, there’s no set age when a baby should transition to a crib from a bassinet — the most important factors to consider are your bassinet’s weight limit and your baby’s developmental milestones. Some parents forgo the bassinet altogether and have their tot sleeping in a crib from day one — and that’s fine too.\nWhether your newborn sleeps in a bassinet or a crib, the NHS recommends that they share your room for at least the first six months.\nSigns baby is ready for crib\nIf age isn’t necessarily a reliable indicator of crib readiness, then what is? Look out for these telltale signs:\nThey’ve outgrown the bassinet\nMost bassinets have a weight limit between 15 and 20 lbs, but every model is different, so always check the specifications yourself! If your baby’s getting close to (or exceeding) the weight limit, it’s time to size up to a crib.\nSimilarly, if your little one’s head or feet are touching the ends of the bassinet, they’re definitely due an upgrade! More room to stretch out = a happier, safer tot.\nTheir mobility has increased\nThis one’s extra important: If your tot can roll over, push up on their hands or knees, or even pull themselves up a bit, there’s an increased risk that they could topple the bassinet. So, if your baby’s reached these developmental milestones, it’s time to invest in a sturdier, more spacious sleep space.\nThey’re waking up more frequently or seem uncomfortable\nIf your previously snoozy baby is suddenly waking up more, squirming, or seems uncomfortable, they might simply need more space. As babies grow, they naturally want to stretch, wiggle, and find their own cozy position — once they’re rolling they need to have the space to be about to roll themselves back and forth.\n5 tips for a smooth transition to crib\nMaking the move from bassinet to crib can feel like a big step, but there are a few tricks that can make the transition smoother (and maybe even more fun) for both of you.\n\n\nStart with naps. Try having your baby nap in the crib for a few days to get them comfortable with the new space. This lets them acclimatize and adjust to the crib gradually, until they’re ready to transition fully to their new sleep environment.\n\n\nKeep the crib cozy (but safe). Although cribs feel bigger and less snug than a bassinet, you can make it feel more familiar. Try a fitted crib sheet that’s soft to the touch, and if they’re used to a sleep 
7660sack or specific sleep environment, keep that as part of the routine.\n\n\nStick to your usual bedtime routine. Time for one of our favorite phrases: consistency is key! Whatever you usually do — whether it’s bath time, singing, rocking, or reading — keep it the same. Babies are comforted by familiar routines, so they’ll feel reassured even in a new space.\n\n\nSleep nearby for the first few nights. If you’re moving your baby to their own room, consider sleeping in the room with them or bringing the crib into your room to ease the adjustment. Baby monitors can also help you keep an eye on them if you need some extra reassurance.\n\n\nBe patient. Like any change, it might take a little while for your tot to fully adjust to sleeping somewhere new. Keep calm, follow a routine, and they’ll settle into the new setup soon enough.\n\n\nAre there age or weight limits for using a bassinet?\nYes. Every bassinet has its own weight and size limits, but the majority of them can handle between 15 to 20lbs of weight safely. This said, plenty of parents find that even if their baby hasn’t exceeded the weight limit, they’ve outgrown their bassinet or can roll over or sit up independently, making the upgrade to a crib necessary.\nOur advice? Keep your baby safe and double-check your bassinet’s manual — and if you can’t find it, look it up online by searching the make and model on Google.\nWhen should my baby move to their own room?\nThe AAP recommends sleeping in the same room as your baby for at least six months, but ideally up to a year — partially because room-sharing has been linked to a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). If you’re considering moving your baby to their own room, we’d recommend following our guide — it’s packed with all sorts of handy tips to make the process easier for the both of you.\nWhat if my baby seems too small for the crib?\nIt’s totally normal to worry that the crib will feel too “big” for a baby used to the cozy bassinet. But even though it might look roomy, many babies actually enjoy the extra space to move around. To help them feel more secure, you can use a sleep sack or swaddle if they’re still young enough, which adds a bit of cozy comfort (and still keeps things safe!).\nIs it normal for babies to cry when they’re first moved to a crib?\nYes, it’s very common for babies to cry a little when adjusting to a new sleep space. After all, it’s a big change! Try to reassure them with a soothing voice or gentle pat, and give them a few minutes to settle down. Sometimes, this adjustment just takes a bit of patience and time, and persistence and a regular routine will eventually help them get used to their new bed.\nTransitioning your tot to a new sleeping situation can be tricky — babies can often struggle with a change in their environment — but by following the guidance above, you should find the process a lot more straightforward. Yes, there may be a few tears or tantrums along the way, but that’s par for the course when it comes to parenting… Patience and persistence are crucial.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7683            "description":"When can my baby start sleeping in their own room?\nGenerally, it’s recommended to keep babies in the same room as you for the first six months, ideally up to a year, as this has been shown to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).\nBut, as with so many other aspects of parenting, what works for someone else’s family might not necessarily work for yours. Space, noise levels, and individual milestone development can all play a part. You know your baby better than anyone else, so take things at a pace that suits your family — and trust us: babies can’t be rushed!\nUse the table below as a rough guide:\n\n\n\n\nAge\n\n\nTransition time?\n\n\nWhere should baby sleep?\n\n\n\n\n0-3 months\n\n\nNo\n\n\nParents’ room (bassinet or crib)\n\n\n\n\n3-6 months\n\n\nNo\n\n\nParents’ room — if using a bassinet, transition to a larger crib if possible.\n\n\n\n\n6-12 months\n\n\nOnly if they’re ready!\n\n\nIf you feel they’re ready, a separate room of their own, in a crib\n\n\n\n\n12 months and over\n\n\nYes\n\n\nA separate room of their own, in a crib\n\n\n\n\nSigns your baby is ready to sleep on their own\nMoving to their own room can be a big change for you and your little one, so it’s crucial not to rush the process. Aside from the broad guidelines above, there are a few key signs that your little one might be ready for the transition:\nThey’re waking frequently\nIt might seem counterintuitive, but if your tot’s struggling to stay asleep, this could be the first sign that they’d be more comfortable in a room of their own. Research shows that frequent wakings are normal (and usually no cause for concern) throughout the first year. However, if they’re waking up a lot — not just because they’re hungry or fussy — and they need your help to settle down again, transitioning to independent sleep might be best for both of you.\nThey’re outgrowing their bassinet\nIf your baby’s starting to feel a little cramped in their bassinet, or if they’re constantly rolling over and seem fussy, this may signal that their sleeping space needs an upgrade. A crib is a must, but it could also be benef
7683icial to move their bed into a separate room if you feel they’re ready — by the time most babies outgrow the bassinet, they may be at an age where it’s possible to transition them to independent sleeping.\nThey’re 6 months or older\nAs we touched on in the table above, at 6 months of age you may consider moving your baby into their own room. This doesn’t mean you have to start the transition, of course — and many experts advise ideally waiting up to a year — but if your tot is reaching this age and showing signs they’re capable of self-soothing, it may be a good time to at least experiment with putting them to sleep in a separate room.\nThey seem sensitive to noise or movements\nBabies are surprisingly light sleepers, and every creak of the bed or tiny snore can disrupt their rest. If you notice that your baby wakes up easily from your nighttime noise, a room of their own could help everyone sleep more soundly. If they’re not old enough to sleep independently though, you could always try using white noise to drown out disturbances.\nHow do I transition away from room sharing with my baby?\nSo, you’re ready to transition your tot from your bedside to a room all of their own — what’s the best way to do it?\nGradually.\nA successful transition won’t happen overnight — literally — and just like every other aspect of parenting, a few bumps in the road are to be expected. We can’t promise it’ll be easy, but here are a few tips to make things run as smoothly as possible:\nStay with them in their room\nSpending time with your tot in their new sleeping space, especially during those first few nights, can make their adjustment feel less sudden (and scary!).\nStart by sitting quietly beside their bassinet or crib until they drift off, then sneak away into your own room. Each night, increase the distance between you and the crib as your tot’s trying to fall asleep.\nAfter a few nights, try placing them down and leaving the room completely, and (keeping your fingers crossed) head back to your bedroom. If all goes to plan, they should eventually settle down completely unaided.\nWhat if this doesn’t work?\nIf they’re really struggling, you can try a temporary “camp-out” in their room, where you sleep on a nearby mattress or bed for a few nights. This way, they’ll have the comfort of your presence as they adapt to the new surroundings, without needing to be in your room.\nEstablish a routine\nBabies are suckers for a solid routine because it creates a sense of security and predictability, which is particularly helpful when they’re experiencing a change in their environment.\nA simple bedtime routine like a gentle bubble bath, a lullaby or two, or a nice relaxing massage is a great way to help your tot get into the slumber zone. Just try to keep the order and timing of these sleep cues the same each night to reinforce the associations with bedtime.\nYou can even use a comforting phrase like “goodnight, sleep tight” or “sweet dreams” each night before you leave. This will work as a bookend to your bedtime routine, strengthening the associations even further.\nBuild familiarity with the new room\nMaking your baby’s room a place that feels familiar and comforting can make it far less intimidating when it’s time for sleep.\nWhen you first move them, for example, keeping them in the crib they were sleeping in before can ease the transition, as their surroundings won’t feel quite so unfamiliar. Don’t feel the need to wait until they’ve outgrown their current crib before making the move.\nKeeping the same bedding and sleepwear can help too, as can positioning their crib in roughly the same position (room layout allowing) as it was in your room.\nMoreover, try to spend time with your tot in their new room even when it’s not bedtime, and link the space with positive emotions by using it as a venue for their favorite activities, such as tummy time or even a game of peek-a-boo!\nThere’s plenty to be said for creating the perfect sleep environment for your little one, too. In short: try to keep things dim (or pitch-black) and remember to keep the room at a comfortable temperature (usually around 68–72°F or 20–22°C).\nDon’t rush!\nEvery family’s rhythm is different. If a quicker adjustment sounds good, you can start putting your baby in their new room for all sleep times — bedtime, throughout the night, and naps. Younger babies often adapt well to a faster transition like this.\nFor older infants (arou
7683nd 8-9 months), adjusting to a new space can sometimes be a little more challenging, as they’re more aware of their surroundings. They might resist the change, waking frequently or becoming fussier than usual. In these cases, slow and steady is the best approach.\nTry starting with the first nap of the day in the new room. From there, you can slowly add more naps, or begin with just bedtime in the new room, bringing them back to your room after the first wake-up. This can work well if they’re already used to different sleeping spots, like a bassinet in your room and a crib in theirs.\nDo babies sleep better in their own room?\nIt depends.\nEvery tot is unique, and while one baby might take to sleeping independently like a duckling to water, another might stage nightly protests. In most cases, it’s a roll of the dice!\nAccording to research, babies over 4 months of age tend to sleep more soundly away from their parents. Why? Well, the extra quiet and fewer distractions — particularly if you or your partner snores (no judgment here!) or gets up very early for work — can make a huge difference in how quickly they’re able to settle down. And for older babies, sleeping away from you might also reduce their temptation to wake you up for a midnight feed.\nSo while there are plenty of exceptions to the rule, the evidence certainly suggests that transitioning your tot to their own room might help them sleep better.\nDoes room sharing help reduce the risk of SIDS?\nYes, room sharing is indeed recommended to help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Research from The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests that room sharing for at least the first six months, ideally up to one year, minimizes the risk of SIDS.\nWhy is this? Room sharing allows you to stay close enough to respond quickly if your baby needs you. It’s thought that having you nearby might also help regulate your baby’s breathing and heart rate, which may reduce the risk of SIDS.\nThe key here is room sharing, not bed sharing. While it’s tempting to cuddle up and drift off together, co-sleeping can raise the risk of accidental suffocation or entrapment, especially in the newborn stage.\nWhether you decide to move your little one into their own room as soon as they reach 6 months or you’d prefer to wait a little longer to introduce a more autonomous sleeping arrangement, the key is taking your time — a little resistance from your baby is to be expected, but with patience and persistence you’ll soon get them used to snoozing in their own dedicated space.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7706            "description":"What are contact naps?\nAs the name suggests, a contact nap is when your baby falls asleep while in close physical contact with you — such as lying on your chest or being held in your arms. It’s different from co-sleeping because, during a contact nap, the only one who should be sleeping is y
7706our baby!\nWhat are the benefits of contact naps?\nHaving your newborn fall asleep while wrapped in your arms or snuggled into your chest can be a delightful, rewarding experience for both of you, helping to grow your mutual attachment and often encouraging your baby to sleep more soundly. Here are just some of the reasons many parents and babies swear by contact naps:\n\n\nThey can strengthen the parent-baby bond. Regular, close physical contact with your baby (particularly skin-to-skin contact or “Kangaroo Care”) is often crucial in forming a strong emotional bond between the two of you, with your little one relishing the security and comfort you offer.\n\n\nYour baby may fall asleep quicker. Since the sensation is thought to be a little similar to being in the uterus, you may find that your baby settles more quickly into a deep, restful sleep during a contact nap than when put down in their crib or bassinet, particularly during the newborn stage.\n\n\nThey can help regulate your baby’s breathing and heart rate. Believe it or not, the calming effect of sleeping in such close proximity to you can help your baby maintain a regular heartbeat and consistent breathing pattern.\n\n\nThey can help reduce your stress levels. Studies have revealed a clear link between parent-baby contact and the release of oxytocin, or the “love hormone”. This can improve your mood while reducing stress and anxiety.\n\n\nAre there any downsides to contact naps?\nIs contact napping bad for your baby? Not at all, as long as you’re doing it safely — which we’ll come to shortly. That said, there might be reasons you’d rather discourage your baby from regularly falling asleep on or against you. Such as:\n\n\nIt might be uncomfortable for you. While your baby may feel no comfort like snugging into your chest for a snooze, staying in one position to accommodate your tot isn’t always the most relaxing experience for your body.\n\n\nYou have limited freedom to move around. You can use a baby carrier for contact naps, but otherwise you’re often pretty restricted when your baby is napping in your arms. You might be unable to do things like carrying out chores, making lunch, or taking a shower, for example.\n\n\nYour baby can become overreliant on contact. At some point, you’ll likely want your little one to gain more sleep independence, which can prove more challenging if they regularly fall asleep on you and learn to rely on contact to soothe them to sleep.\n\n\nRegular contact naps might also become a problem if you’re planning to return to work, especially if all (or most) of your baby’s current naps tend to start with them falling asleep on you. We’ll cover some of the ways you can reduce reliance on contact naps later in this article.\nAre contact naps safe for babies?\nYes, contact naps are generally perfectly safe for your baby, but on one very strict condition — you must remain awake and alert while your little one sleeps. If you’re both asleep, you have little control over your baby’s movements, and this can risk them falling or wriggling into an unsafe position.\nIn fact, it’s thought that “accidental co-sleeping” can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by up to 50 times, so it’s really important to avoid situations where it’s likely you’ll fall asleep while in contact with your baby — like lying on a comfy bed or reclining on the sofa when you’re feeling sleepy yourself.\nHow to make contact napping safe for your baby\nAs we’ve outlined above, there’s really just one golden rule when it comes to contact naps and it’s that you avoid falling asleep when your baby is snoozing on (or against) your body.\nAdmittedly, this can be easier said than done when the demands of parenting take their toll on your energy levels, but there are ways you can help yourself stay alert and keep your baby safe during a contact nap. For example:\n\n\nEnsure someone else is nearby. If your baby falls asleep on you and there’s even the slightest possibility you might drift off too, it’s essential that you’re not alone. Make sure a partner, friend, or family member is close by so they can gently wake you up or take your baby from your arms.\n\n\nAvoid contact naps when you’re feeling drowsy. Being tired as a new parent pretty much comes with the job description, but if you’re feeling particularly sleepy it might be better to put your baby down for a nap in their crib or bassinet rather than letting them fall asleep on you.\n\n\nDon’t let yourself get too comfortable. Contact naps in bed or on a squishy sofa might feel nice for both of you, but there’s a greater likelihood you’ll fall asleep too if you’re lying down or reclining. Instead, sit upright in a high-backed chair or stand up (or walk around) while your baby sleeps in your arms.\n\n\n“Wear” your baby. Baby carriers can be great for contact naps, giving you the freedom to move around (and avoid dozing off) while still offering them the reassurance of sleeping close to you. Just make sure your baby is secured tightly, their back is supported, and their chin is off their chest so their airways are open.\n\n\nIs it safe to co-sleep with your baby?\nWhile falling asleep together when in contact with your baby is advised against, it’s generally okay to sleep 
7706side-by-side in a bed as long as you follow safe sleep guidelines. For example:\n\n\nKeep adult bedding and pillows away from your baby\n\n\nRemove any slatted or decorated headboards\n\n\nNever allow other children or pets into the bed too\n\n\nEnsure there’s no way for your baby to become or trapped or fall out of bed\n\n\nNever, ever leave your baby alone in an adult bed\n\n\nYou should never co-sleep if you (or anyone else in the bed) smokes or has recently consumed alcohol or taken drugs, or if your baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).\nWhen do babies outgrow contact naps?\nSome babies take to sleeping independently quite naturally — and may instinctively develop a preference for being laid down to sleep over napping in your arms — while others might be less likely to “outgrow” contact naps and take a little more encouragement to forgo the reassurance of a body-to-body snooze.\nThere’s not necessarily a right time to stop contact naps, but while newborns often crave the security of being close to you as they sleep, you may find you’re able to start introducing independent sleeping more often from around 4-6 months — which can give both of you a little more freedom and independence.\nThere’s no harm in continuing contact naps past this point, per se, but you potentially risk your baby becoming overly reliant on you in order to doze off, and you may decide that encouraging them to sleep independently is better for both of you in the long run — not that you have to completely abandon the occasional nap on mommy or daddy, of course!\nHow to “wean” your baby off contact naps\nIf your baby has become a little too dependent on contact naps and you want to encourage a more independent approach to napping — or you simply feel the time is right to lay them down to sleep more often than not — there’s a chance they’ll put up a little resistance at first. If that’s the case, there are a few techniques you can try to help ease the transition:\n\n\nPut them down when they’re drowsy but not asleep. Key to encouraging self-soothing and independent snoozing is laying your baby in their crib when they’re on the verge of sleep but still awake. This can get them used to falling asleep by themselves rather than only when in contact with you.\n\n\nCreate a consistent sleep routine. Babies thrive on familiarity, and it’s often easier to encourage them to sleep independently by sticking to a regular schedule and keeping their sleep environment consistent — this can introduce “sleep cues” that they learn to associate with being put down for a nap.\n\n\nTry swaddling. Swaddling involves gently wrapping your baby’s body in a light blanket or sheet, somewhat mimicking the sensation of being nestled in the womb. This can help your baby feel safe, secure, and calm in their crib, and encourage them to drift off to sleep without needing to be held. Just remember to follow safe swaddling guidelines.\n\n\nBring in additional soothing techniques. Your warmth, smell, and the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat can be like a tranquilizer to your baby, but there are other ways to soothe them to sleep, such as introducing white noise, offering a pacifier, giving them a gentle massage, or singing a soothing lullaby.\n\n\nFor more tips on turning your baby from a clingy contact-craver to a self-reliant snoozer, take a look at our guide to What to Do When Your Baby Won’t Sleep Without Being Held.\nIn conclusion, are contact naps safe? Yes, as long as your baby is the only one snoozing and you’re wide awake. Are they enjoyable? Almost always. Essential? No, but they’re often a great way to bond with your baby and get them sleeping more soundly. \nRemember: when you decide to abandon contact naps is up to you (and your baby) but it is often best to try and encourage a little more sleep independence as your baby gets older. That doesn’t mean a cozy naptime snuggle is totally out of the question, though.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7729            "description":"Why won’t my baby settle down?\nIt’s the middle of the night and yet again, your baby is wailing the house down. What gives? If you’re wondering what’s wrong, it’s likely nothing to worry about. But babies aren’t the best communicators, and unfortunately this means that it’s normally up to you to figure out what’s wrong.\nHere are a few of the most common reasons why your baby might be struggling to settle down.\nThey need to be burped\nBabies have tiny, sensitive tummies, and they tend to gulp a lot of air while feeding. That air has to go somewhere, and in the immortal words of Shrek, it’s a case of “better out than in”. If it doesn’t get burped out, it can lead to some seriously uncomfortable bubbles, meaning much fussiness and nighttime squirming.\nTo ease the gassiness, try holding your baby against your chest and gently patting or rubbing their back to help them release that trapped air. It might take a few tries, and also come with a few surprises — you’ve been warned.\nThey need feeding\nHunger is arguably one of the most common reasons for babies to cry, and as you’ve probably noticed, they don’t hold back when they’re ready to eat. Newborns might not need as much food as a 6-month-old, but their feeding schedules require a greater number of feeds throughout each 24-hour cycle. This is particularly true for babies around 3-6 weeks of age, where cluster feeding may occur.\nThey’re overtired\nWe’ve written about wake windows before, but to cut a long story short, timing is everything. When babies stay awake for longer than their normal wake window, they can get overtired, which can somewhat paradoxically make it much harder for them to settle down. Look out for yawning and eye rubbing — two key indicators of an overtired tot.\nThey’re too chilly or too hot\nBabies aren’t the best at regulating their body temperature, so if they’re a little too hot or cold, this could be preventing them from catching ZZZs. If their back or neck feels sweaty, they’re likely too warm, but if their tummy feels cool to the touch, they might need another layer. A sleep sack can help keep them cosy, but for tips and tricks, view our guide to creating the best baby sleeping environment.\nThey’re unwell\nSometimes, your baby’s discomfort might be rooted in an underlying condition. They might be suffering from a cold, teething, or even experiencing growing pains. Soothing these ailments is different from one case to the next, but we’d always re
7729commend speaking to a paediatrician just to make sure it’s nothing more serious.\nThey’re feeling needy\nIt’s completely natural for your little one to seek you out when they’re feeling fussy because they associate you with comfort and safety. The familiar sound of your voice, your scent, and your touch can do wonders to calm them down. Sometimes, all they need is a few quiet moments held in your arms!\nWhat age can I teach my baby to self-soothe?\nSome babies will naturally be able to settle themselves off to sleep from the early weeks, but it’s very common that most will need a bit of help. You’ll generally need to keep soothing your baby as needed until they’re around 3 or 4 months old. After that, you can start gradually introducing some gentle self-soothing techniques.\nJust keep in mind that falling asleep independently is a big milestone — it requires a level of emotional control that babies develop slowly over time. Most little ones start picking up some self-settling skills between 4 and 6 months, so be patient with the process and trust that they’ll get there in their own time.\nHow to help your baby to self-soothe\nSelf-soothing doesn’t happen overnight — it’s a process, and in this game persistence is key. Here’s how to get started:\nMake sure their needs are met first\nBefore anything else, check that your baby’s basic needs are covered: have they been fed and burped, do they appear comfortable, and do they have a clean diaper? Self-soothing is a lot easier for babies when they’re not distracted by hunger, discomfort, or a little gas…\nSet a schedule\nBabies thrive on routine, and a regular sleep schedule can help them start to recognize cues for when it’s time to wind down. Try to keep naps and bedtime at consistent times each day. A calming pre-sleep routine — like a warm bath, storytime, or gentle lullaby — can signal to them that sleep is coming. Timing is everything here. It’s important to ensure they’re tired enough to settle down, but not so tired that they become fractious and resistant to sleep!\nPut them down when they’re sleepy, but not asleep\nIf your baby regularly falls asleep in your arms and wakes up in their crib, they’ll likely rely on you to settle them and find it more difficult to soothe themselves when they wake. Instead of soothing them to sleep before laying them in their crib, look for signs that your baby is drowsy — but crucially still awake — when putting them down for a nap or at bedtime. This will help get them used to falling asleep on their own.\nWait a little while before responding to their cries\nWe’re not suggesting you straight-up ignore your baby here, but a brief pause to see if they’ll relax is a key part of teaching your baby to self-soothe. If you rush in every time you hear a whimper, they’ll likely continue to rely on you to soothe them back to sleep, so give them a minute or so and see how they get on. If they continue to cry, swoop in and start soothing.\nSoothe them while still in their crib\nYour instinct might be to pick your baby up as soon as they start fussing, but try to resist this parental reflex. Instead, try offering comfort while keeping them in their crib. Pat their back, gently shush them, or hold their hand and offer a little reassurance. This teaches your baby that the crib is just as safe as your arms, and strengthens the association between “comfort” and “crib time”.\nTake a break\nThis links in with our previous tips, and it’s important to remember that self-soothing isn’t just about your baby’s comfort — it’s about yours too. It’s okay to step out for a moment, take a few deep breaths, and come back refreshed. Babies can sense stress, so taking a short break can help you both reset.\nUse a dummy\nSucking can naturally calm and comfort your little one,and if your baby takes to a dummy, it can be a great way for them to soothe themselves without needing much from you. Believe it or not, it’s actually safe to let your baby sleep with a pacifier, too.\nOffer them a “security object”\nIt’s important to note that your little one should be at least 12 months old before you let them sleep with a blanket or soft toy, but when your baby is old enough, having a familiar object within arm’s reach can help them self-soothe at bedtime or when they wake in the night. Their little blankie or favourite stuffed animal might have a familiar texture and smell, which can help them feel secure even when they’re alone in their crib or bed.\nRemember: practice makes perfect!\nLike any new skill, self-soothing takes practice. Don’t be discouraged if your tot doesn’t get it right away. It’s something we say all the time here at Elvie, but consistency is key. Be persistent, and remain patient. Before you know it, they’ll be able to drift off to dreamland without any help at all — but it’s a gradual process.\nWhat about the “cry it out” technique?\nThis controversial approach involves leaving your baby to cry in their crib, without stepping in, until they eventually fall asleep. The idea is that, over time, your little one will learn to calm themselves instead of depending on you to settle them every time they fuss.\nDoes “cry it out” work for every baby? No. And in truth there’s a lot of debate in the medical community about its effectiveness, so you’re advised to speak to a paediatrician before trying this technique.\n“Controlled crying” is a slightly more delicate and research-backed method where you leave them for a short period of time and return to comfort them at intervals. There are gentler approaches too, where you stay with your baby and comfort them in their sleep space.\nIf you do decide to give this method a go, start by waiting just a few minutes before comforting them. Over time, you can gradually increase the wait time, allowing them a chance to self-soothe while you stay close. Eventually, you should find that your tot learns to relax all on their own — though don’t be surprised if it takes some time to get there!\nSelf-soothing won’t happen instantly — but if you both put the work in, you’ll soon see your baby gain more sleep independence! \nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7752            "description":"Why will my baby only sleep at home?\nJust like many adults, babies crave consistency and routine — and anything that disrupts this can be unsettling. Their normal sleep environment feels safe, comforting, and familiar, while new surroundings can introduce sights, sounds, and experiences they’re not used to, which might make them feel anxious or overstimulated.\nAt home, babies also tend to have familiar “sleep cues” that signal to them that it’s time for a snooze — perhaps it’s a clockwork-like bedtime routine that includes a bath and a story, or a set of curtains that provide just the right amount of darkness in their room. Without these prompts, it might be more difficult to settle your baby into a sleep-ready state.\nBut even if your baby is a bit of a homebody when it comes to naptime, this doesn’t mean you’ll never be able to get them to sleep in an unfamiliar environment. With persistence and a little encouragement, it’s possible to spend time away from home without disrupting your little one’s sleep 
7752schedule too much — and we’re going to outline some tips and tricks.\nHow to get your baby to sleep away from home\nIf you’re fortunate, your baby might not be overly fazed by a change in environment, and you may find they sleep relatively soundly no matter where they happen to be. More likely, though, your little one is a little fussier and harder to settle — or worse still, stubbornly resistant to naps — when in new surroundings.\nIf yours is in the latter camp, there are a number of techniques you can try to help your baby sleep when separated from their home comforts:\nDo a few “trial runs”\nSudden changes in routine can be distressing for anyone, but you can help your baby get used to different sleep environments by gradually trialing being away from home for short periods. Perhaps start with a few afternoon visits to friends or family members, for example, and build up to a whole night spent at someone else’s house.\nThe first few times might be unsettling for them, but persistence pays: the more time they spend away from home and can see that they’re still safe and secure, the easier it will theoretically become to encourage them to sleep in different surroundings.\nIn the run-up to a planned vacation, for instance, you might consider arranging a few sleepovers at Grandma and Grandad’s house, or even booking a night in a hotel. Additionally, if you’re planning to use a travel crib or bassinet, get them to “practice” sleeping in it a few times before you go away so it doesn’t feel completely unfamiliar.\nTry to stick to their regular routine\nAs we’ve mentioned, babies are little creatures of habit. They thrive on routine, and often become distressed when faced with something unfamiliar or unexpected — like a sudden change in sleeping environment.\nWhile it can be easier said than done, trying to maintain a sleep routine that matches their at-home schedule as closely as possible will help your baby adjust to sleeping in new surroundings, and avoid disrupting their normal sleep habits too much.\nThis means attempting to put them down for a nap at roughly the same time as you would at home, and maintaining a consistent pre-bedtime routine — if they usually have a warm bath and a few cuddles before bed, for example, try to continue these rituals wherever possible.\nThis requires planning ahead, of course — and it may not always be possible to match their normal routine to the letter, particularly when traveling — but your baby should sleep better away from home if their nap times don’t deviate too much from their usual schedule.\nRecreate their normal sleep environment\nJust as they crave routine, babies often find comfort in the familiar. So while you can’t take your baby’s entire room with you wherever you go, you can do the next best thing: try to mirror their at-home sleep surroundings as closely as possible. For example:\n\n\nPack familiar sleep accompaniments such as your baby’s usual bedding (a slept-in sheet that smells of home can be a great help) and their favorite blanket or soft toy — providing they’re at least 12 months old.\n\n\nTry to make sure the room temperature is similar to what your baby is used to, which should ideally be between 68-72°F (20-22°C).\n\n\nDress your baby in what they’d usually wear to bed at home, as long as it’s appropriate for the environment and temperature they’re sleeping in.\n\n\nUse blackout curtains or travel blinds to keep the room dark, especially if your baby is used to sleeping in a dim environment at home.\n\n\nConsider introducing “white noise”\nAmong the many challenges of trying to get your baby to sleep in a different environment are the new and unfamiliar sounds they may encounter when trying to get some shuteye. The everyday creaks and hums of your own house can become oddly comforting, but noises they’re unaccustomed to can often be unsettling.\nFor instance, perhaps you’re staying at a friend’s house and their neighbor has a particularly noisy dog, or the hotel you’ve booked is next to a busy road — these new sounds might be difficult to drown out, making it hard for them to settle.\nIn these cases, introducing white noise — a consistent, even s
7752ound that blends with background noise to make it less noticeable — could help block out unfamiliar sounds and create a more calming environment.\nIf you’re using a white noise machine, it’s important to ensure it’s placed at least 7 feet away from where your baby is sleeping, but there are also plenty of apps you can download that should do the job just fine. For more information on using white noise to help your baby sleep, check out our guide.\nAvoid making them overtired\nThere’s a balance to be struck when you’re out and about with your baby because, while you want to keep them relatively active so they feel sleepy when it’s time for a nap, you don’t want them to be so tired that they struggle to settle — overtiredness leading to sleep refusal is one of life’s great paradoxes!\nSo while it’s best to stick to their regular nap schedule if you can, it’s also important to pick up on signs of sleepiness to avoid keeping them awake longer than needed and risk them becoming overtired.\nYour baby’s sleep cues might include yawning, eye rubbing, or increased fussiness, and when they display these signs you may need to be prepared to adjust their normal schedule slightly and let them sleep on their terms — otherwise it might be more difficult to get them to snooze later on. Consistency is key, but flexibility is often required.\nPractice self-soothing\nNewborns don’t have the ability to self-soothe, but from around 3 to 4 months it may be possible for your little one to gain more independence and learn to fall asleep by themselves without needing to be comforted by you.\nIf you’re able to encourage self-soothing as early as possible, this can really help when it comes to getting them to fall asleep in new places, particularly as it will be easier for them to settle back to sleep if they wake up in unfamiliar surroundings.\nSome babies take quite naturally to self-soothing, while for some it can demand a little more practice and patience. Either way, you can help your little one learn to self-soothe by:\n\n\nMaintaining a consistent bedtime schedule and routine\n\n\nPutting them to bed when they’re drowsy but still awake\n\n\nFeeding them slightly earlier so they’re not being “fed” to sleep\n\n\nWaiting a minute or two before going to comfort them when they cry\n\n\nComforting them in the crib rather than taking them out\n\n\nWhen they reach 12 months or older, letting them sleep with a “security object” like a soft toy or blanket\n\n\nTry to avoid on-the-go naps\nThis is another area where “easier said than done” applies, as you can’t really control whether your baby drifts off in the car or their stroller. But we’re not necessarily suggesting that you need to keep them awake at all costs while on the go, just that it’s better to avoid this becoming a habit — as regular “off-schedule” naps can disrupt their sleep routine.\nGrabbing forty winks while in their car seat isn’t going to do them any harm — the gentle vibrations that accompany being in the car are often too soothing to resist — but it will typically not be the best quality sleep, and it’s likely they’ll wake up a little cranky.\nIf this sounds counterintuitive, it is a little. But while it can feel like a win when your baby is sleeping soundly in their stroller as you make your way through a packed airport (and sometimes sleeping on-the-go is a necessity), it’s usually better if your baby learns to associate sleep with being in their crib or travel cot.\nMost importantly: be patient!\nIn the best-case scenario, your baby takes to sleeping in any new environment like a duckling to water; but even with all the will in the world, it can take patience and a willingness to be flexible when trying to adapt your little one to temporarily new sleep surroundings.\nWhile it’s natural that most babies will always prefer the comfort and familiarity of napping at home, this doesn’t mean you need to admit defeat and accept that away days are simply an impossibility — they might just take a little while for your baby to get used to.\nThink about the last time you stayed in a hotel or crashed in a friend’s spare room. Perhaps the firmness of the mattress wasn’t entirely to your usual liking, or maybe unfamiliar outside noises prevented you from drifting off as quickly as you normally would. It’s often just the same for your baby.\nIt’s important to give them time to adjust, and understand that it might take a few goes before they feel comfortable sleeping away from home. Like many things in early parenthood, it’s a process.\nWe all like our home comforts (and who doesn’t love coming back to their own bed after a trip away?) but getting your baby used to sleeping in unfamiliar places takes at least some of the worry out of being away from home. \nWhether you’re going for a sleepover at Grandma and Grandad’s house or planning a family vacation, following the tips above will help turn your baby from a homebody that’ll only sleep in their own room to an assured travel companion who isn’t fazed by an away-day nap.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7775            "description":"Do babies sleep better in darkness?\nOwls, badgers, babies. Three rather different creatures, but all with one common trait — a love of the dark.\nBabies are little bundles of instinct, and one of the things they’re instinctively hardwired for is the circadian rhythm — the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, which is influenced by light and darkness.\nWhile this instinct takes time to develop — usually only emerging at around 2-3 months of age and taking a year or longer to mature fully — a dar
7775k environment can encourage the release of melatonin (the “sleep hormone”), often helping to set a foundation for better, more restful sleep.\nWhen your baby first enters the world, their pineal gland isn’t fully formed — and produces no melatonin whatsoever until around 2 months of age. Low melatonin means more erratic sleep patterns, but because melatonin release is triggered by darkness, you’ll often find that your tot is far more likely to drift off when they’re in a pitch-black room.\nShould newborn daytime naps be in the dark?\nWhile it’s super simple to create a dark, cocoon-like nest for your little one in the evening, is it completely necessary to give your newborn a pitch black sleep environment during their daytime nap?\nWell, no — not really. Because they haven’t yet fully developed a circadian rhythm, daytime and nighttime mean very little to your newborn. Therefore it’s not essential to ensure their daytime naps take place in complete darkness — although you may find that a dark room helps them settle and promotes better quality sleep.\nMore important than whether they nap in darkness or the light is regulating the amount of sleep they have during the day, and especially making sure they’re not taking very long naps in complete darkness — as this can have a detrimental effect on their nighttime sleep.\nIt’s also essential to make sure they’re exposed to plenty of natural light during waking hours. You should avoid directly exposing them to sunlight, of course, but spending time outside and letting natural light into their room when they wake up can help promote the normal development of their circadian rhythm.\nWhat is day\/night confusion?\nAs the name suggests, day and night confusion is when your newborn has their sleep-wake schedule flipped: they’re bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the middle of the night (joys!), and ready for long snoozes when the sun’s up — the latter of which is likely to provide some common ground between the two of you!\nThis is normal in newborns, as their circadian rhythm is still maturing. As we mentioned above, babies are born with no concept of day or night, so the answer isn't to force them to sleep in a light room so they “know it’s not night time”.\nSigns your baby may have day and night confusion:\n\n\nActive and alert at night: Your baby is wide awake when the rest of the household is winding down.\n\n\nRestless daytime naps: They’re easily disturbed or seem disinterested in sleeping during the day.\n\n\nLong, deep sleeps during the day: While short naps are common, some babies with day\/night confusion may sleep for longer stretches in daylight.\n\n\nFrequent nighttime wake-ups: They’re waking every hour or two at night, even when they seem content.\n\n\nHow can you help your newborn with their day and night confusion?\nFirst off, resist the urge to try and “teach” your newborn the difference between night and day. Day\/night confusion all comes down to the fact that your baby’s circadian rhythm is still developing. The best way to help them is by regulating the amount of time they sleep during daylight hours — avoiding long naps in a pitch-black room, for example.\nIt might seem cruel — and peace-destroying, especially if you’re counting on a few precious minutes of me-time — but the most effective way to beat day\/night confusion is to wake your baby up from daytime naps if they go on for too long (i.e. over 2 hours).\nThis works for two reasons: firstly, it means they’ll be awake for longer and exposed to more natural light during the day (which can help their circadian rhythm develop naturally), and secondly, it gives them more opportunities for daytime feeds, reducing the chance they’ll wake up hungry at night.\nIn short, make sure your tot has shorter nap times and gets more milk in daylight hours, and gradually their slumber-based confusion should correct itself.\nYou can also try:\n\n\nLetting your baby spend more of their daylight hours outside (getting out in the mornings can be especially helpful, even if the weather is cloudy or overcast).\n\n\nMaking sure their awake time is both bright and interactive.\n\n\nKeeping their room as dark as possible during the evenings — keep night feeds and diaper changes at night quiet and “boring”, using a low light or amber-based light.\n\n\nPlaying white noise while they sleep at night.\n\n\nTips for restful daytime naps\nWhether your baby naps 
7775in a darkened space or you let a little natural light into their room while they sleep during the day, there are plenty of other ways to encourage a healthy nap routine. Here are a few more ways to help your tot drift off for a daytime nap:\n\n\nKeep a consistent nap space: If possible, let your baby nap in the same spot where they sleep at night. Familiarity can help them settle.\n\n\nTry swaddling: Many newborns feel secure when swaddled, which can help them stay asleep (but remember to stop swaddling once they start rolling, and always follow safe swaddling guidelines).\n\n\nKnow their “wake windows”: Babies can only stay awake for so long before they get overtired. Wake windows can vary from baby to baby, but newborns generally need a nap every 45-60 minutes. For more information, read our dedicated guide to wake windows.\n\n\nDon’t obsess over darkness: While a dim room can help, especially for light-sensitive babies, a bit of natural light during the day is fine for short naps. As long as your little one’s not consistently dozing through the day and yelling the house down at night, it’s best not to overanalyze!\n\n\nWhether your little one prefers to nap in complete darkness or is happy to sleep with a little natural light peeking through their curtains, it’s less about whether their sleep environment is light or dark and more about finding what’s best for them — and for you.\nOur best advice? Try to avoid putting them down for extended daytime naps in a dark room, make sure they’re exposed to plenty of natural light during their daytime wake windows, and — most important of all — go with your gut.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7798            "description":"The science behind baby massageIt’s a widely accepted fact that massages feel fantastic, but why is this? Much like most adults, babies tend to enjoy a good massage before bedtime, but what does the science say?Research indicates that massage stimulates the production of certain sleep-benefiting hormones, such as oxytocin, which is often referred to as the “love hormone”. This is the same hormone that’s released during breastfeeding and cuddling, and has been proven to help strengthen the bond between parent and baby. Massage has also been proven to lower the levels of cortisol in the body — the hormone responsible for stress. But that’s not all — a study found that infants who were massaged achieved higher cognitive scores than their non-massaged peers, proving that baby massage can even boost brain power!At a glance: the benefits of baby massageWe’ve covered the science, now let’s summarize the benefits of giving your tot a massage before bed:Promotes healthy growth and developmentResearch has shown that babies who receive regular massages may experience better weight gain and improved overall growth. This is especially beneficial for premature babies, or little ones suffering from certain medical conditions.Enhances bondingThe skin-to-skin contact involved in massaging releases the all-important feel-good chemical, oxytocin, boosting your baby’s sense of security and strengthening their bond with you. Improves sleep qualityMassage has been proven to promote relaxation, making it the ideal addition to your pre-bedtime routine. If you’re struggling to get your baby to settle into a consistent sleep schedule, or your little one tends to get overtired and fussy, massage is an excellent way to make bedtime that little bit easier. Boosts cognitive developmentThere’s evidence to suggest that regular massage can enhance brain development in infants, with tactile stimulation helping to strengthen the neural pathways. The step-by-step guide to baby massageReady to treat your tot? Our simple guide to baby massage is just what you need. Your little one will be feeling zen in no time at all — but first, a little prep is in order.Find a comfy, cozy spot. Somewhere warm and distraction-free. You can massage your baby on the floor or on an elevated surface, such as a bed or changing table, but be sure not to leave your tot unattended on a high surface, as this could lead to a nasty accident.The best time to massage your baby? You can massage your baby any time of day when they’re calm and alert and receptive to it, but after bathtime is often a great time to do it. What’s important is that you’re both feeling relatively calm, comfortable, and ready to relax.When you’re ready, undress your baby (their nappy can stay on, or come off — it’s up to you), take off any sharp or spiky rings, and if you tend to run cold, do your tot a favor and warm those hands up!If you’re using any, prepare your oil or cream (cold pressed sunflower oil is the best) by adding a little onto your palms rather than applying directly to your baby’s skin (though it’s best to avoid using any at all during the first month of life). Always let baby know what you’re doing, too – tell them you’re about to give them a massage, and let them see you rubbing your hands together to warm the oil. This will become a cue so they learn to anticipate what’s coming next.Then? You’re both good to go!Step 1: Start with the feet and legsGently hold your baby’s leg with one hand, and use the other to make smooth, upward strokes from the ankle to the thigh. You can repeat this a few times on each leg — oh, and feel free to admire how wonderfully plump they are while you’re at it. For the feet, focus on each individual toe, applying soft pressure and gently spreading the toes out, one by one. Step 2: Tummy rubsUse your fingers to trace small circles on their tummy, then use your palms to gently stroke down their chest, as if you’re erasing the circles. Always go in a clockwise motion to mimic the direction of the bowel.Step 3: Arms and handsSimilar to what you did with the legs, gently hold one arm at a time, and start with soft strokes from the wrist to the shoulder. For the hands, massage the palm by applying gentle pressure with your thumbs and rotating. Massage each finger individually, holding them with your index finger and thumb, applying gentle pressure, and ‘rolling’ them back and forth. Step 4: BackCarefully turn your baby onto their tummy, making sure they’re fully comfortable, and use long, gentle, slow strokes from the neck down to the toes. Lift each leg by the heel, and gently push it towards their bottom. Step 5: Head and faceFinally, finish off with some gentle strokes on their head and face. Use your fingertips to make tiny circles on their scalp. Lightly massage their forehead and, of course, those adorable cheeks. A gentle facial massage can also be useful for clearing congestion or easing teething pain — for the former, sweep your fingers down and outwards across the nose, and gently massage the jaw to help with the latter. Remember: face strokes should always be very gentle — no more than the pressure you’d put on your own eyelids with your finger.Does baby massage help with colic?Yes! Gentle strokes can aid digestion and help to alleviate any discomfort from gas or c
7798olic. Massaging specifically to relieve colic is performed a little differently from a regular infant massage though, so we’ll take you through the steps needed.Baby massage for colicTrying to soothe a gassy, fussy baby can be rough, but you’d be surprised at the wonders a little massage therapy can work on your troubled tot. Here’s a quick guide to infant massage techniques specifically targeting the causes of gassiness. \"I Love You\" massageTrace the letters \"I,\" \"L,\" and \"U\" on your baby’s tummy using gentle strokes. This helps stimulate digestion and release gas.Knee-to-tummy pumpHold your baby’s legs, gently pressing their knees toward their belly, then releasing. Repeat to relieve bloating and encourage gas to pass.The water wheelUsing both hands, make smooth, downward strokes from the ribs to the lower belly, like a gentle wave. This can help move gas through the digestive system.Bicycle legsMove your baby’s legs in a slow, cycling motion to help release trapped gas and soothe their tummy.Tummy circlesWith two fingers, make gentle clockwise circles around the belly button. This mimics the natural flow of digestion and eases discomfort — just be careful not to put too much pressure on the bladder.A few extra things to keep in mind\nTiming is everything. Try to massage your baby when they’re calm but awake — think right after a bath or before bedtime. Avoid massaging right after feeding or when they’re especially fussy. \nGentle oils for a gentle touch. Opt for the most natural oil or lotion you can find — cold pressed sunflower oil is a popular favorite. Just remember to always perform a patch test to make sure there’s no risk of a reaction, and avoid using oils at all until your baby’s at least one month old. \nFollow your little one’s cues. Your baby is the ultimate guide here! Pay attention to their body language and sounds. If they seem uncomfortable or upset, it might be time to stop or change your approach. The key is to make it a pleasant experience for both of you.\nMake sure the room (and your hands) are warm enough. The room should be at least  68-72°F (20-22°C) and your hands should be nice and warm to ensure your baby is comfortable.\nHow do I know my baby’s enjoying their massage?To the untrained eye, babies aren’t the best at explaining how they’re feeling, but give things time and you’ll become fluent in their (unspoken) language. If your baby shows any of the signs below, you can be confident that you’re hitting all the right spots:\nRelaxed body language. If your baby seems loose and relaxed (as opposed to tense or stiff), they’re likely enjoying the experience.\nGiggling or coos. Sweet little sounds and giggles are clear indicators that your baby is having a good time. It’s like their version of saying, “More, please!”\nEye contact and smiles. If they’re looking at you and smiling, it’s a great sign that they’re connecting and feeling loved.\nAre there any times I shouldn’t massage my baby?While baby massage can be beneficial, there are times when it’s probably best to skip it. Here are a few situations to watch out for:\nWhen your baby is unwell. If they have a fever, rash, or any signs of illness, it’s best to hold off until they’re feeling better. If they’re gassy or have colic, a massage can help, but you’ll need to switch things up a little — follow our colic massage guide above!\nStraight after feeding. Try to wait at least 30 minutes after feeding before diving into a massage. Nobody wants a baby spewing their last meal mid-massage!\nAfter vaccinations. If your baby has had a vaccination, you should wait at least 48 hours before giving them a massage.\nIf they’re in pain. If your baby seems unusually fussy or is crying (and you can’t figure out why), massage might not be the answer. Always check with your pediatrician if you’re unsure.\nMassage is one of the most powerful tools in a parent’s toolkit — not only does it come to the rescue during bedtime or those dreaded gassy moments, but it’s also an amazing way to strengthen your bond with your little one. Who knew that a few gentle strokes could work such magic?",

7821            "description":"What is white noise?\nTime to get a little nerdy.\nRemember in science class, when the teacher shined a light through a prism to create a rainbow, showing that white light is a combination of all visible light wavelengths? Well, white noise is similar, in that it contains all audible sound frequencies.\nImagine a sound wave as ripples in water after you drop a pebble. Some ripples are close together, while others are spread farther apart. In terms of sound, when the waves are close together, the sound has a high frequency, which means it has a high pitch — like a whistle or a bird chirping. When the waves are farther apart, the sound has a low frequency, giving it a low pitch — like the throb of a bass guitar, or a deep voice.\nWe measure these wavelengths in hertz (Hz), which tells us how many times the sound wave vibrates per second. The higher the hertz, the higher the pitch.\nWhite noise occurs when a sound contains all the different frequencies of sound at once, creating a consistent, even tone, and even making other environmental sounds blend into the background.\nOur brains are naturally wired to pay attention to any sudden changes in our environment — like a car beeping or a door slamming — and white noise can help make these sudden noises less noticeable. This is why some people find the hum of an air conditioner or a fan particularly calming; and if you’ve ever wondered why you’re so prone to falling asleep during a long journey spent riding shotgun, you can blame the constant hum of the car’s engine!\nWill white noise help my baby sleep?\nWhite noise can help your baby sleep, but there’s no guarantee they’ll enjoy it! A 1990 study found that white noise helped 80% of newborns fall asleep within five minutes, compared to only 25% in a control group who didn’t use white noise. So, in short — yes, white noise is likely to help your baby sleep, but success isn’t guaranteed.\nThe pros of using white noise\nOne of the reasons white noise is so effective is that it mimics the sound your baby was used to in the womb. Pre-birth, your little one’s life was soundtracked by the rhythmic whooshing of blood, and white noise can replicate this environment by creating a similar soundscape.\nAs we touched on earlier, white noise is also brilliant at masking and disguising any sudden noises that could wake your baby up. Whether it’s barking from the dog, the clatter of dishes as you (rather clumsily) do the washing up, or a door slamming in the breeze, white noise can limit its effect on your little one’s sleep.\nThe cons of white noise for babies\nIf white noise works for your baby, there’s a chance that they could become dependent on it. This might lead to some tricky situations if you need to get your little one to sleep in a place where you’re unable to play white noise, or the device you use to create the white noise breaks.\nSome white noise machines may also exceed the recommended noise limits for babies (more on that below), and just like us adults, not all babies care for white noise — you might even find that it prevents your baby from sleeping!\nIs white noise safe for my baby?\nDespite what you may think, white noise isn’t completely risk-free.\nA study conducted by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) in 2014 found that of the 14 white noise machines they tested, all of them exceeded the recommended noise limits of 50dB. Even more concerningly, they discovered that three of the machines tested were actually capable of reaching a volume above 85dB — a volume that, if played for 8 hours or more, could risk noise-induced hearing loss.\nBecause of this, pediatricians agree that if white noise machines are used, they should be placed at least 7 feet away from your baby’s crib or bassinet, and its volume setting never turned to max.\nWhite noise alternatives for babies\nIf white noise doesn’t work for your baby, or you’re just looking for additional ways to help your baby catch a few ZZZs, try some of these calm-promoting techniques:\nSwaddling\nSwaddling — wrapping your baby in a thin, soft blanket — mimics the snug, safe environment of the womb, and can even reduce the startle (moro) reflex. However, it’s important to swaddle safely, following the correct technique (as detailed here), and never swaddle a baby who’s capable of rolling over, as this could lead to suffocation — you should avoid swaddling altogether by 16 weeks at the latest.\nRocking to sleep\nGentle rocking, whether in your arms or in a rocking chair, can be super so
7821othing for your tot. A baby swing, bouncer, or smart bassinet can also provide a calming motion that helps your little one drift off, but they’re not safe for unattended sleeping.\nCreating the ideal sleep environment\nHow snooze-ready is your little one’s sleep space? Babies love to sleep in the dark, so try to make the room as dark as possible when it’s time for bed. Blackout curtains are ideal, but shades can work wonders, too.\nNext up: temperature. The ambient temperature of your baby’s bedroom needs to be just right — try to keep it between 68°F to 72°F (or 20°C to 22°C), and eliminate any cold drafts where possible.\nNatural daylight\nExposing your baby to natural daylight during the day can help regulate their circadian rhythms (which begin to develop from around 6 weeks), making it easier for them to sleep at night. Try to ensure your baby gets some outdoor time or is in a well-lit room during the day.\nDifferent ‘shades’ of noise to try\nIf your baby isn’t best pleased with white noise, you could always try another ‘color’ of sound. Each shade has a unique vibe, and most people tend to have a preference one way or the other. It could be the same for your tot; so if you’re curious, give these a try:\nGray noise for babies\nYou can think of gray noise as “white noise remastered”. With gray noise, the intensity of higher frequencies is reduced, providing a less ‘hissy’ sound, closer to a gentle hum, or the sound of wind rustling through leaves.\nPink noise for babies\nSofter and more ‘natural’ sounding, pink noise is often compared to the sound of steady rain or wind. Pink noise reduces the volume of the higher frequencies and boosts the lower ends of the sound spectrum, giving it a deeper, cozier sound.\nIt’s often considered more soothing than white noise, and many parents find their babies prefer it — maybe because it’s one of the most commonly observed signals in biological systems. In other words, pink noise is closer to the kind of sounds your tot would’ve jammed out to in the womb!\nBrown noise for babies\nBrown noise (also called Brownian noise or red noise) emphasizes even more of the lower frequencies than pink noise, making it much deeper and rumbling. It resembles the low roar of thunder or a distant waterfall and is often perceived as very calming, especially for people sensitive to high-pitched sounds.\nAs with so many aspects of parenting, getting your baby to sleep can involve a lot of trial and error, so don’t be afraid to try the whole spectrum of sounds — you never know which (if any) your baby will prefer. Just remember to keep volume levels low (50dB or lower) and position the device at least 7 feet away from their crib! \nFor more tips on getting your little one off to the land of nod, check out our guide to getting your baby to sleep in a bassinet for the first time, or head to our index to view our complete back catalog of articles.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7844            "description":"Why does my baby prefer sleeping while being held?Firstly, we’d like to assure you that, despite what you may believe, your baby isn’t plotting to steal all of your free time — just most of it, but hey, that’s all part of the job.No, the reason they crave being held is rooted in biology. For nine months, your baby was suspended in space — a universe meant just for them — with every biological desire automatically and instantly provided for. They weren’t just near you, they were a part of you, living in an environment crafted through millions of years of evolution to provide the ultimate comfort, soundtracked by the constant, soft rhythm of your heartbeat. So, when they’re born, it’s only natural that they’ll crave the next closest thing to this — snuggling up in your arms, safe, cozy, and next to your heart. As your baby’s attachment to you grows during these early months, they’ll often crave the comfort of your smell, your touch, and even your voice.But it’s not just comfort causing the clinginess — being close to you regulates their breathing, heart rate, and even their body temperature. So, if they’re dozing off happily in your arms but waking up the moment you put them down, it’s not because they’re spoiled or trying to mess you around (even if we’ll concede that babies seem rather devilish even at the best of times). No, it’s just their natural survival instincts kicking in. What are sleep associations? Babies are quick learners, especially when it comes to sleep. If they’ve gotten used to falling asleep in your arms, that becomes their go-to comfort zone. This is what’s known as a sleep association, and it’s basically a habit your baby forms around how they fall asleep — a little like how we adults tend to favor a specific spot to lounge around in the living room. If your tot tends to fall asleep while being held, they’ll naturally come to expect that you’ll be there whenever they wake up — you can see how this might lead to plenty of sleepless nights for you!So, how do you start shifting these sleep associations to something a bit more manageable — like, say, the bassinet or crib? By creating new, positive habits for your baby that don’t require them to be attached to your bosom.How to get your baby to sleep without being heldOkay — let’s get to the good stuff: solutions. Below, we’ve put together a few expert-approved tips for helping your little one transition into sleeping without needing to be held.Create a calming sleep environmentRemember earlier when we mentioned how your baby’s clinginess can be traced back to their earliest experiences of comfort in the womb? Well, one of the best ways to encourage them to sleep in their crib is by recreating this environment as closely as possible. You want it to be warm, dark, and uber-cozy. Here’s how to do it:\nTemperature: Aim for a room temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C). Babies can’t regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so keeping them comfortable is the key to a minimally-disturbed night.\nLighting: Use blackout curtains to block out any light that could interfere with their sleep. The darker, the better.\nBedding: Make sure their mattress is firm (no soft pillows or blankets — these can be dangerous!) and use a fitted sheet. If your baby likes swaddling, a snug swaddle can help mimic the feeling of being held — just be sure to follow safe swaddling guidelines. \nMake the transition gradualGoing from snoozing in y
7844our arms to sleeping independently can be a big step for your little one, so ease the process by aiming for a slow yet steady transition.Start by holding them until they’re drowsy but not completely asleep. Then, gently place them in their bassinet or crib. This teaches them to associate the crib with falling asleep, rather than just waking up in it and wondering “where on earth am I?”After laying them down, stay close by and offer soothing words or gentle touches. You can gradually decrease your involvement over the course of a few weeks — this is known as the “sit and soothe” technique.Try the 5 S’sDeveloped by world-famous pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the “5 S’s” are a great way to help calm your baby. Not familiar? We’ve got you covered.\nSwaddle: Wrap your baby snugly in a swaddle to mimic the cozy confines of the womb.\nSide or Stomach Position: (While holding — never for sleeping in the crib!) Hold them on their side or stomach for a moment to help soothe them. Once they’re asleep, always place them on their back.\nShush: Make a gentle shushing sound to mimic the white noise of the womb. You can also use a white noise machine for this.\nSwing: Rocking or swinging can mimic the motion they felt while you were pregnant. You can do this in your arms or with a swing or vibrating seat.\nSuck: Allowing your baby to suck on a pacifier or their thumb can be very comforting.\nUse white noiseWhite noise can be a little divisive — something we’ve covered in our dedicated white noise guide — but many parents find that it helps their tot’s travels to slumberland, so if you’re losing hope, it’s certainly worth a shot (just remember to keep volume levels below 50dB, and make sure the device is at least 7 feet away from your baby at all times!)White noise machines create a soothing “noise blanket”, and can help to block out any other disturbing sounds that might otherwise wake your baby up. If you’d rather not splash out on a dedicated device though, you could always try one of the following alternatives:\nA fan or air purifier: They provide a gentle, consistent hum that can soothe your little one.\nApps or playlists: There are plenty of apps and playlists with soft, relaxing sounds specifically designed for sleep.\nLearn your baby’s wake windowsEvery baby has a specific amount of time they can be awake before they get overtired (which can make it harder for them to fall asleep). Here’s how to figure it out:\nKeep an eye on your baby’s cues: Watch for signs of tiredness like yawning, rubbing their eyes, or fussiness.\nTrack their wake times: Most newborns can handle about 45-60 minutes of awake time, while older babies might be able to stay awake for longer — up to 2-3 hours as they grow. Adjusting bedtime accordingly can help them drift off more easily, but each baby is different so stay curious and notice how long your baby is happily awake for.\nCheck for signs of acid refluxIf your baby seems particularly fussy after eating or has trouble sleeping flat, they may be experiencing acid reflux. Here are a few ways to help:\nKeep them upright after feedings: Hold your baby in an upright position for about 20-30 minutes after feeding to help prevent reflux.\nConsider your feeding method: If you’re bottle-feeding, for example, make sure the nipple size is appropriate to prevent them from gulping air. It’s also important to assess their latch and positioning on the bottle or breast.\nTry baby massageThe idea’s pretty simple — just introduce a short 10-15 minutes of gentle, soothing massage before bedtime. Repeat this, and over time, your tot should start to associate the relaxing strokes of your massage with sleep. Start from their toes and legs, work your way up, and then — if they allow you to — gently flip ’em onto their tummy and work on their back.Make a routine — and stick to it!Routine — it’s something we tend to go on about here at Elvie, and for good reason. Babies thrive on a consistent routine, and by establishing a set time for slumber, you’ll stand a much better chance at transferring your little one from in-arm snoozes to independent bedtime. To maximize your chance of success, keep things simple. Choose one or tw
7844o calming activities that you can link to bedtime — a warm bath, storytime, or as mentioned above, a soothing massage. Aim to put your tot in their crib or bassinet within a set 20-30 minute window each night and eventually, they’ll learn to anticipate being put down at around the same time, making the transition much less stressful for both of you. Things to watch out forUnfortunately, every parent has to struggle through a tricky transitional bedtime period — it’s all part and parcel of the childrearing experience. However, sometimes these trying times can have more serious underlying causes.If you notice any of the symptoms below, or if your parental instincts are telling you something just feels off, don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician. Even if it turns out to be nothing serious, it’s always better to have peace of mind.Baby screams when put downIf your baby is crying or screaming excessively or seems especially uncomfortable once bedtime rolls around, it could be more than just typical twilight fussiness. Prolonged, inconsolable crying (often referred to as colic-like behavior) could indicate gastrointestinal issues, food intolerance, or even something like acid reflux. What to watch for:\nArching their back while crying\nPulling their legs toward their belly\nFussiness during or after feeding\nNoisy breathingAs obvious as it may seem, breathing issues should never be taken lightly. Whether your baby’s snoring loudly or gasping for breath, if you notice any breathing irregularities at all, consult your pediatrician immediately.What to watch for:\nLoud, raspy breathing\nPauses in breathing during sleep\nLabored breathing or flaring nostrils\nFrequent night wakingYes, babies tend to wake up a lot at night, and it’s typical for you tot to rouse every 2-3 hours during the newborn period, but if they’re waking up constantly and seem particularly averse to drifting back to sleep, there may be an underlying medical reason. What to watch for:\nWaking up every hour or more frequently, despite consistent soothing efforts\nDifficulty falling back asleep, even after being fed or comforted\nSkin rashes or allergic reactionsIf your baby seems particularly displeased during bedtime, check them for rashes. Allergies or eczema can play havoc with your tot’s sleep schedule, and if they’re waking up scratching or seem extra fidgety during the day, this could be the culprit.What to watch for:\nRed, inflamed skin or patches of eczema\nScratching or rubbing their face during the night\nUnexplained rashes or hives that seem to worsen during sleep\nAt Elvie, we understand that getting your baby to sleep soundly and independently can feel like an uphill battle, but trust us — a little perseverance goes a long way, so stay strong!

7867            "description":"Why is my baby making noises while they sleep?\nIn a word; biology. Newborns are in a constant, rapid state of growth. In the first few months of life, your baby will put on roughly 28g of weight per day — quite a lot for someone so tiny! And because their body is still very much under construction, this can cause all sorts of nighttime noisiness. Some of the biological factors influencing your baby’s bedtime babble include:\n\n\nHunger. Lip-smacking, suckling, and rooting noises all indicate a hungry baby. If they’re making these sounds, try a little preemptive feeding session — because let’s face it, who doesn’t love being woken up from a nap with a delicious meal?\n\n\nSleep transitions. A newborn goes through two distinct sleep stages during the first few months of life. These 
7867cycles are referred to as REM (or “active”) sleep and non-REM (or “quiet”) sleep. During their active sleep phases — which account for around 50% of their slumber time — they may stir, resulting in a few groans and squawks.\n\n\nBowel movements. Poop — as parents, it’s something we’re well acquainted with. If your baby suddenly starts grunting mid-snooze, we’re afraid to say there’s a strong chance they’re going for a number two. Thankfully, other than the smell, noisy pooping (sometimes referred to as ‘grunting baby syndrome’ or Dyschezia) is usually harmless, though it can be alarming to new parents unfamiliar with the sound.\n\n\nPhysiological development. Because your little one’s digestive and respiratory systems are still developing, they’re under a lot more stress, especially while they’re asleep. This means more naptime noises — think gurgling, moans, and changes in the rhythm of their breaths.\n\n\nNose breathing. Until they reach 3-4 months of age, your tot will breathe exclusively through their nose. Given the tiny size of their nasal passages, they can become very easily clogged, which can lead to congestion and sniffling.\n\n\nNormal baby sleep sounds\nAs a parent, “Is this normal?” might just be one of your most frequent thoughts — right up there with “Will I ever get to have a full night’s sleep again?” and “What are you crying about now?”.\nBy way of reassurance, we’ve included a list of some of the most common (completely normal) baby sleep sounds below:\nGurgling\nWhile it might be surprisingly loud, gurging is usually no cause for concern. Babies often gurgle in their sleep because of their underdeveloped swallowing reflexes. As strange as the sounds may be, they’re not a sign of distress — your tot’s just figuring out the art of “saliva management”.\nHiccuping\nObjectively adorable to observe, and no cause for concern, hiccups are caused by a diaphragm spasm and are more common in infants because their digestive systems are still developing — you may have even noticed your baby hiccuping in the womb!\nHiccups generally don’t bother babies like they do adults, so if you hear them in the middle of the night, there’s no need to worry. Believe it or not, some babies sleep right through their hiccuping episodes.\nBurping or passing gas\nBabies tend to swallow lots of air during feeding, and all that trapped gas has to escape at some point — even if they’re fast asleep. The occasional burp or toot is all par for the course while you’re tot’s snoozing. If they seem particularly flatulent though, massaging their tummy with gentle clockwise strokes or “bicycling” their legs can help to relieve any discomfort.\nGrunting\nGrunting is another common sleep noise — especially if your little one’s entering a new sleep phase, or trying to pass stool. As mentioned earlier, grunting is most commonly associated with digestion.\nBelieve it or not, we weren’t born with the muscle coordination required to pass stool comfortably; we had to learn how to do it. So, if you hear any grunting, it might just mean your tot’s coming up with the next diaper-based masterpiece. Icky, perhaps, but no cause for concern.\nLip-smacking\nLip-smacking is a natural reflex tied to feeding, so if you hear it during naptime, it might be time to wake your baby up via boob or bottle. It can also be a self-soothing method and is linked to the transitionary period between sleep cycles.\nNormal baby breathing sounds\nNoticing a change in your baby’s breathing might be unsettling, but it’s worth remembering that babies’ breathing patterns are often irregular. Unlike your fully-formed adult respiratory system, theirs is still developing. So, if you notice any of the following breathing noises, don’t be alarmed — your tot’s just adjusting to life outside the womb.\nFast breathing\nBabies breathe much faster than adults — around 40 to 60 times a minute. This rapid breathing is especially noticeable when they’re in the active sleep phase, while experiencing REM sleep. Provided it isn’t accompanied by wheezing or sudden, sharp intakes of breath, this is usually no cause for concern — but you should always consult a pediatrician if you’re worried.\nRapid breathing can also be caused by:\n\n\nTransient tachypnea: This condition is common in newborns, particularly those born by C-section. Transient tachypnea occurs when fluid remains in a baby’s lungs after birth, causing rapid breathing (more than 60 breaths per minute) as their lungs work to clear the excess fluid. The good news? It usually resolves within the first day or two of life and doesn’t cause long-term problems. However, if it persists, your doctor may want to monitor your baby’s oxygen levels to ensure they’re breathing comfortably.\n\n\nLaryngomalacia: This is where the tissues of the baby’s larynx (voice box) are softer than usual, causing them to collapse inward during inhalation. The result is noisy breathing or rapid breathing, especially when lying on their back. Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of noisy breathing in infants and tends to improve as your baby grows and the tissues firm up. In most cases, it’s not dangerous, though it can cause some feeding or breathing difficulties in more severe instances. If you suspect laryngomalacia, your pediatrician can evaluate your baby’s breathing to ensure everything is developing properly.\n\n\nPauses in breathing\nBrief pauses between breaths might be alarming, but they're perfectly normal. This is referred to as periodic breathing, and it’s not uncommon for pauses to last as long as 10 seconds — frightening, yes, but completely normal. Over time, as your baby’s respiratory system matures, their breathing will become more consistent.\nSighing\nLittle sleepy sighs are as useful as they are adorable, serving to regulate (and, according to re
7867cent research, reset) breathing, and maintain lung function.\nSnuffling\nAs we mentioned earlier, babies are uber-prone to congestion thanks to their teeny tiny nasal passages. If your baby tends to snuffle while sleeping, it’s likely down to nasal congestion. Saline drops can help clear any blockages if they seem to be affecting their ability to stay snoozin’, but the noise itself is typically nothing to be worried about.\nAre there any baby sleep sounds to be concerned about?\nYou’re well-versed in your baby’s sleepytime setlist. You know all the hits — gurgling, gargling, and groaning — but we’re not finished just yet. It’s important to know which sounds are healthy staples of your baby’s nightly symphony, and which ones might indicate something more serious.\nWheezing\nIf you notice a high-pitched whistling sound while your baby is breathing — especially if it continues over time — it could be a sign of a respiratory issue, allergy, or infection. Around 25-30% of infants will have at least one episode of wheezing, and while it’s usually nothing serious, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and get it checked out by a professional if it’s a recurring issue.\nPersistent coughing\nThe occasional cough or sneeze is usually no cause for concern; but if your tot can’t seem to shake their cough, or it’s accompanied by rapid breathing, this could signal an infection or even whooping cough.\nStridor\nThis is a harsh, grating sound made while breathing in, usually indicating a blockage or inflammation in the airway. The sound can vary — some parents report it sounding wheezy, while others hear a high-pitched squeak. In any case, it’s worth getting your tot checked out if you suspect stridor, as this condition can occur with conditions like croup, an infection in the upper airway.\nLabored breathing\nIf you ever notice your baby’s chest sinking in, or their nostrils flaring with each breath, this could be a sign that they’re struggling to breathe, and you should seek medical attention immediately. \nRhythmic grunting\nA few grunts here and there are perfectly fine, but consistent, rhythmic grunting — not so much. This could indicate respiratory distress syndrome, and is worth getting checked by a professional.\nExtra-long exhales\nIf you notice that your baby is taking a long time to exhale — even if their breathing seems calm — it could indicate an obstruction in their airway. A delayed or labored exhale might suggest conditions like bronchiolitis or asthma, so it’s a good idea to contact a doctor if your baby’s exhaling for 2 seconds or longer.\nWhen will my baby stop making so much noise in their sleep?\nSome babies begin to sleep more peacefully once they hit the 3-6 month mark, as their sleep cycles stabilize and their digestive and respiratory systems develop, but every baby is different. It’s not unheard of for some children to remain noisy snoozers well into their toddling years — and some even beyond that (if you’ve ever had to deal with a snoring partner, you’ll understand this more than most).\nOn the plus side, the more you hear your tot’s sleeping noises, the more attuned you’ll become to them. Where in the past you may have felt frantic and fearful whenever your baby let out a peep while asleep, you’ll gradually be able to distinguish between “normal” sounds and noises that might require further investigation.\nHopefully, we’ve allayed any fears you might’ve had over your baby’s naptime noises, but remember: if you’re ever unsure or something doesn’t feel right, there’s never any harm in getting a professional opinion. You know your baby better than anyone else!\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7890            "description":"Why does sleep regression happen?\n“Why?!” is a question many a new parent will ask (or possibly scream at the top of their voice) when faced with a sleep regression — “why me?!”, “why now?!”\nYet in fact, there’s only one true sleep regression, and this typically occurs around the 3-4-month mark — hence, it’s often referred to as the 4-month sleep regression. This happens because your baby’s newborn sleep cycle is transitioning to a more “adult-like” pattern, and is an important part of your baby’s development.\nBut of course, your baby’s sleep needs are constantly evolving, and this means they’ll often be faced with temporary periods of sleep disruption. So while the so-called 6-month and 9-month sleep regressions are something of a myth, it’s not unusual for your baby’s sleep pattern to be knocked temporarily “off track” at various stages.\nWhat causes temporary sleep disruptions?\nThese temporary sleep disturbances can be the result of a combination of factors: they often occur alongside significant developmental stages, which can include cognitive advancements as well as physical changes. They can also happen when your baby’s routine is disrupted, such as when transitioning them from a crib to a bed.\nThese are some of the most common reasons sleep disturbances happen:\n\n\nDevelopmental milestones. As babies grow, they learn new things like rolling over, crawling, walking, and talking. This can sometimes make it harder for them to settle down and sleep, as they process these new skills and sensations.\n\n\nCognitive growth. Your baby’s brain is rapidly maturing in terms of memory, knowledge, and awareness. As these cognitive functions develop, they may resist sleep or wake up more frequently during the night.\n\n\nTeething. The physical discomfort of their first teeth emerging may mean your baby wakes up more often or has trouble getting to sleep (although this should last only 3-5 days after the tooth emerges).\n\n\nIllness. Any kind of illness can temporarily disrupt a baby’s sleep pattern, whether it’s a cold, an infection, or an upset stomach.\n\n\nGrowth spurts. Growth spurts often lead to increased tiredness, but they also cause babies to wake up more often during the night — particularly as they’re often hungrier and may require more nighttime feeds than normal.\n\n\nSeparation anxiety. Emotional factors can also contribute to sleep disturbances, and babies who develop separation anxiety may struggle to sleep due to the unease they feel when being left alone in their crib.\n\n\nChanges in routine. Most babies favor c
7890onsistency, so any significant changes in their routine or environment, including adapting to a new bed, traveling, or moving home, can trigger sleep disruptions.\n\n\nChanging nap timetables. As your baby grows, they’ll need fewer naps during the day. But transitioning them from three daily naps to two, for example, may cause a temporary disruption to their nighttime sleep as they adjust.\n\n\nWhat are the signs of sleep regression?\nSleep regression usually happens when your baby is around 3-4 months old, and signals a permanent change in their sleep behavior. Because it’s such a significant step in their development, this period is often accompanied by a temporary worsening of your baby’s sleep, and they may become more fussy or difficult to settle as they navigate this transition.\nOf course, not all babies experience the 4-month sleep regression in the same way — some may become increasingly fussy or clingy around bedtime, for example, while others may wake more frequently during the night or find it harder to settle. Some babies experience very little sleep disruption at all during this stage.\nWhat are the signs of temporary sleep disruption?\nAs we’ve mentioned, the “official” sleep regression typically rears its head around the 4-month mark for many babies, but most will experience temporary sleep disruptions at various stages throughout their development. These can occur at any time, and may be characterized by one or more of the following:\n\n\nIncreased night wakings. Your baby may start waking up more frequently during the night, even if they previously slept through it.\n\n\nDifficulty falling asleep. Your baby may take much longer to fall asleep than usual, even if they appear tired.\n\n\nResistance to sleep. Your baby may become resistant to bedtime and start fighting sleep altogether.\n\n\nShorter naps. Your baby’s daytime naps may become shorter or more erratic — which can impact their nighttime sleeping routine, too.\n\n\nIncreased fussiness or clinginess. Your baby may be particularly fussy or clingy around their normal bedtime.\n\n\nHow to alleviate sleep disturbances\nWhile sleep disruptions often come on suddenly and there aren’t always warning signs that one is on the way, identifying the signs as early as possible can help you put measures in place to help deal with the issues quicker, whether that means adapting your baby’s sleep schedule or simply tempering your own expectations.\nBy spotting the signs of a sleep disruption early, you may be able to introduce changes such as:\nAdjust their bedtime routine\n\n\nIf your baby is overtired, making their bedtime earlier can help prevent them from becoming so exhausted that they resist sleep.\n\n\nIf they seem full of energy at bedtime, moving it slightly later might give them more time to wind down and feel ready for sleep.\n\n\nAlter their nap schedule\n\n\nIf their daily naps are typically long or frequent, reducing the number or duration of naps can help your baby consolidate more sleep at night.\n\n\nConversely, if they’re overtired due to shorter naps, encouraging more daytime sleep may prevent them from becoming too exhausted by bedtime.\n\n\nIntroduce calming pre-sleep activities\n\n\nA warm bath or a gentle massage before bedtime can soothe and relax your baby so they feel more ready to sleep.\n\n\nReading a quiet bedtime story or playing soft, soothing music can become a nightly routine that signals it’s time for bed.\n\n\nOffer extra comfort and reassurance\n\n\nIf they’re struggling to settle at night, consider spending a little more time holding, cuddling, or rocking your baby before putting them down.\n\n\nIf they wake up frequently during the night, respond with soothing actions such as patting or shushing to reassure them.\n\n\nSet realistic expectations\n\n\nUnderstand that sleep regressions are temporary and a normal part of your baby’s development — nearly all babies have them.\n\n\nBe prepared for more frequent wake-ups or rough nights, but remind yourself that sleep regressions don’t last forever.\n\n\nWhile the 4-month sleep regression is an unwelcome inevitability for most parents (a very lucky few notwithstanding), knowing how to spot the telltale early signs can at least prepare you for what’s to come — and help you come out the other side relatively unscathed. In any case, it’s important to remember that it’s actually a very important stage in your baby’s development, and crucially — it will pass.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7913            "description":"Is there an “ideal” bedtime for your baby?\nThis depends. Newborns can spend up to 18 hours out of every 24 sleeping, but this typically comes in short stints throughout the day and night, with your baby waking to feed every few hours.\nAccompanied by the fact they haven’t yet developed their circadian rhythm (or internal “body clock”), this means there’s really no such thing as an “ideal” bedtime for a newborn — their sleep patterns are irregular, their wake windows are frequent, and they’ll often sleep as much during the day as they do at nighttime.\nAs they get older and their body clocks evolve, however, it’s possible to start easing them into a more consistent nighttime routine. This doesn’t mean you’ll magically be able to settle them down at the same time each night — their ever-changing sleep and developmental needs will ensure it’s never that simple — but you may at least begin to be able to find a bedtime schedule that works for you and your baby.\nIn truth, there isn’t a catch-all “ideal” bedtime for babies, as this can vary depending on their age, sleep needs, and individual snoozing patterns. Generally, an early bedtime of around 6.30-8.30pm is considered appropriate, but the most important thing is to follow your baby’s sleep cues and find the best fit based on their usual wake-up time and nap schedule.\nIs 6pm too early for a baby’s bedtime?\nIf you want to avoid a very early wake-up call then yes, 6pm is probably a little too early to put your baby to bed — since it’s likely they’ll be ready to “start the day” around 4-5am. We’d tend not to recommend putting your baby down until at least 6.30pm, as it stands to reason that the earlier they go to bed, the earlier they’ll wake the next morning.\nOf course, if you’re fine with your baby waking up early, an earlier bedtime of 6.30-7pm may work well. But if they naturally tend to sleep in a little later or you’d prefer them to have a longer lie-in each morning, a later bedtime such as 7.30-8.30pm might be better. It’s ultimately about finding what works for you and your little one.\nWhat if my baby falls asleep before bedtime?\nIf your baby falls asleep before their set bedtime, it’s generally okay to let them snooze. Their sleep needs evolve, and they’ll usually tell you when they’re ready for sleep through signs like yawning and eye-rubbing, which signal their body’s natural “sleep drive” kicking in. Forcing them to stay awake can lead to overtiredness, which can actually make it harder for them to settle down later.\nIf they’re regularly falling asleep earlier than expected, consider adjusting their daytime nap sc
7913hedule. Their wake windows are likely to be around 2 to 3 hours (although this can vary from baby to baby), so try to time their last nap before bedtime to ensure they’re awake for long enough — but not too long — and less likely to fall asleep early come nighttime.\nWhat if my baby goes to bed too late?\nPutting a baby to bed too late can often make them overtired, which paradoxically makes it harder for them to fall — and stay — asleep. When babies become overtired, their bodies release stress hormones like cortisol, which can cause them to wake more frequently during the night and wake up earlier in the morning (not great news for parents).\nIf your baby is consistently going to bed too late, consider gradually putting them down a little earlier (say 10-15 minutes each night) until you reach a more reasonable bedtime. This slow transition will help them adjust to an earlier bedtime, while maintaining a calm, consistent pre-sleep routine will signal to your baby that it’s time for bed.\nThe (almost) perfect baby bedtime routine\nNow, as we’ve established, there’s really no such thing as the ideal bedtime for a baby — the best time to put them down will depend on their own sleep needs and natural sleep patterns. It’s important to stress that the following is merely a guide rather than an exact science, and is subject to many variables.\nNewborn (0-3 months)\nAs we’ve pointed out already, the terms “newborn” and “consistent bedtime” rarely go together. This is mostly because circadian rhythms don’t begin to develop until around six weeks of age (and won’t be fully established for at least three months), meaning their internal body clocks can’t tell the difference between day and night.\nYour newborn might be ready for bed sometime between 8-11pm, but there’s no need to fixate on bedtime since their sleep patterns are usually quite erratic — “putting your baby to bed” at nighttime is really no different than putting them down for a nap during the day, since they’ll typically sleep for no more than 2-4 hours at a time, day or night.\nWhat’s most important at this stage is picking up on their sleep cues: rather than trying in vain to set a scheduled bedtime each night, pay attention to telltale signs of sleepiness that indicate your little one is ready to be put down. Newborn sleep cues can include:\n\n\nYawning, the universal shorthand for tiredness\n\n\nBecoming increasingly fussy or whimpering\n\n\nRubbing their eyes or face\n\n\nPulling on their ears of hair\n\n\nBecoming less active or engaged in their surroundings\n\n\n3-6 months\nWhile babies’ circadian rhythms start developing from around six weeks, they usually become more firmly established between three and six months. This means they start to develop a natural sleep-wake cycle, and will gradually begin sleeping more during the night because their bodies understand the difference between daytime and nighttime.\nWhile it’s normal at this stage for your baby to still be napping 3-4 times a day (check out our month-by-month guide to nap schedules to understand more about their typical daytime sleep patterns), this evolution of their body clock means it’s also possible — though not necessarily straightforward — to start establishing a more consistent bedtime routine.\nAs a (very) general rule, an early bedtime of around 6.30-8.30pm can help them settle into a natural circadian rhythm while ensuring they’re getting plenty of nighttime shuteye. Of course, this also gives you time to relax and unwind before your own bedtime — though keep in mind that they may wake at least 1-3 times during the night.\nIt’s still important to look for your baby’s sleep cues at this stage, too (and plenty of ups and downs are to be expected), but you can help them settle into a more regular bedtime schedule by creating a consistent, sleep-associated nightly cycle — for example, by focusing on the following:\n\n\nCreating a calming pre-sleep routine. Activities like a warm bath, a gentle massage, or a lullaby can help your baby feel calm and ready for sleep.\n\n\nReducing stimulation. Minimize active play or loud noises before bedtime, which will help them transition from wakefulness to sleep.\n\n\nDimming the lights. Turn the lights down in their room (or switch from a main light to a bedside one) to signal to your baby that it’s time for bed.\n\n\nEncouraging self-settling. Place your baby in the crib while they’re drowsy but still awake, helping them learn how to fall asleep independently.\n\n\nMaintaining a consistent sleep environment. Make sure your baby’s sleep 
7913space is quiet, dark, and at a comfortable temperature. White noise can also be helpful for soothing.\n\n\n6-12 months\nBy 6 months, your baby’s internal clock will be well established, meaning their bodies are well-versed in the difference between day and night and they’ll likely be ready for a more consistent nighttime routine.\nIt’s also normal at this stage for them to need fewer daytime naps (you may find that 2-3 are more than enough) and therefore sleep for longer stretches at night — for the luckiest parents, this is where the idea of their baby “sleeping through the night” may even evolve from fantasy to reality.\nBecause of this, you may find it easier to establish a set bedtime from around six months onwards. 6.30-8.30pm is still a good window to aim for, but your routine should reflect what works best for your baby – and for you.\nOf course, milestones such as teething can temporarily impact their normal sleep schedule (usually for up to 7 days) but even so it’s important to try to keep to as consistent a routine as possible while accepting there may be ups and downs.\n1-2 years\nBy the time they reach a year old, your baby should be down to just a couple of naps a day, and may even transition to a single nap anywhere between 10-18 months. As a result, their nighttime routine will likely be far more consistent, and (sleep disruptions notwithstanding) they should regularly be sleeping through the night.\nThis also means their bedtime should be more set in stone, and because they’re less dependent on daytime naps you can usually start to push their bedtime back slightly — 7pm to 8.30pm might be reasonable from a year onwards, but again this depends on their normal nap windows, wake-up times, and your own schedule.\nIf they’re resistant to bedtime (which is possible, particularly during periods of sleep regression), this is where a calming and consistent pre-sleep routine is essential. Make sure their sleep environment is conducive to a peaceful slumber, and try to maintain a regular wind-down sequence in the hour or so before bedtime.\n2+ years\nAs your toddler gets older, they’ll naturally require less sleep overall. They’ll still need more shuteye than the average adult, but you may decide to gradually transition them to a later bedtime (8pm or later, for instance), particularly as they’re likely to take just one nap during the day (or possibly none at all) and may sleep in for longer in the morning.\nIf they’re still napping at least once daily but you’re keen to wean them off naps altogether, you might consider (at least temporarily) bringing their bedtime forward slightly, allowing them to sleep longer at night so they feel less tired and more alert throughout the day. Again, don’t be afraid to experiment with what works for them and for you.\nA (rough) bedtime guide by age\nIt’s important to point out that the guidance below is very general. Each baby has their own sleep needs and develops at their own pace — there’s not necessarily a “right” bedtime for your baby, and flexibility and adaptability are often key.\n\n\n\n\nAge\n\n\nAverage sleep required (over a 24-hour period)\n\n\nAverage nighttime sleep\n\n\n“Ideal” bedtime\n\n\nBedtime tips\n\n\n\n\n0-3 months\n\n\n14-18 hours\n\n\n8-12 hours (plus naps)\n\n\nNo fixed time\n\n\nDon’t fixate on baby’s bedtime; look for their sleep cues instead.\n\n\n\n\n3-6 months\n\n\n12-16 hours\n\n\n8-10 hours (plus naps)\n\n\n6.30-8.30pm\n\n\nStart to establish a consistent bedtime routine, but continue to watch for sleep cues.\n\n\n\n\n6-12 months\n\n\n12-14 hours\n\n\n8-10 hours (plus naps)\n\n\n6.30-8.30pm\n\n\nFocus on maintaining consistency, but be aware that sleep disruptions can occur.\n\n\n\n\n1-2 years\n\n\n11-14 hours\n\n\n11-12 hours (plus one nap)\n\n\n7-8.30pm\n\n\nTry to minimize nighttime activities. If they resist bedtime, a predictable wind-down sequence can help.\n\n\n\n\n2-3 years\n\n\n10-13 hours\n\n\n10-12 hours\n\n\n7-8.30pm\n\n\nBe firm but gentle with bedtime resistance. Introduce a comfort object like a stuffed animal if needed.\n\n\n\n\n3+ years\n\n\n9-12 hours\n\n\n9-11 hours\n\n\n7-9pm\n\n\nEncourage calming pre-bedtime activities like reading. Limit screen time before bed.\n\n\n\n\nSo, when should my baby go to bed?\nWhen they’re newborn, a “set” bedtime is pretty unrealistic since there’s very little difference between your baby’s daytime and nighttime sleeping patterns. Therefore, in the earliest months, it’s more important to re
7913cognize your baby’s sleep cues (yawning, eye rubbing, and so on) rather than trying to put them down at a specific time each evening.\nFrom around three months onwards, you can usually start to establish a more consistent nighttime routine, as they should napping less during the day and sleeping longer at night. A bedtime somewhere between 6pm and 8pm is generally considered appropriate for most babies and toddlers, but it’s all about finding the right balance for you and your baby.\nThe “best” bedtime for your baby can depend on a number of factors, such as their daytime nap schedule and typical morning routine. If they aren’t overly nap-dependent, for example, you might consider an earlier bedtime (say 6-7pm). If they like a lie-in (who doesn’t?) or they take lots of naps during the day, a slightly later bedtime (like 7-8pm) might be right for them.\nYou should also consider how much sleep they typically need — along with their usual wake-up time — and work backwards from there. But don’t be afraid to use your routine as a marker, too — if an earlier wake-up time works for you, try setting their bedtime a little earlier to ensure they’re getting enough sleep without disrupting your own busy schedule.\nLike we said, the sweet spot is establishing a bedtime routine that works for you and your baby.\nWondering when to put your little one to bed at night? As with many things baby-related, it depends. You can pretty much forget about a set bedtime for the first 2-3 months, while even as they develop more “normal” sleep patterns their ideal bedtime is dependent on factors such as their nap schedules and usual wake-up times.\nThe most important things to remember? Pay attention to your baby’s sleep cues (particularly during the newborn stage), consider how much sleep they need overall, track how often they nap, and keep in mind when they tend to rouse in the morning. Equally important is creating a consistent pre-bedtime routine that signals to your baby that it’s time to visit the land of nod.

7936            "description":"What’s the difference between a bassinet and a crib?\n“Aren’t they both just tiny beds?”\nWell, yes, but there are a few key differences, chief of which is size. Dimensions vary by manufacturer, but generally, most bassinets are around 30in (75cm) long and 18in (45cm) wide. Cribs, on the other hand, are a little larger, typically sizing up at around 53in (135cm) long and 30in (75cm) wide. \nBassinets are designed with newborns in mind. They’re usually supported by freestanding legs, but may also have a wheeled or rocking base. Some strollers may include a removable bassinet — super handy when you and your little one have a lunch date planned! Some bassinets can even be attached to other surfaces, such as the detachable bassinets found on playpens.\nCribs are a more permanent piece of furniture, designed to support your child for several years, right through to toddlerhood. Cribs can be used from birth, but some babies may prefer sleeping in a smaller space — though this will vary from one tot to the next! Unlike bassinets, cribs aren’t considered ‘portable’, but the payoff is their longevity — most babies will get 2-3 years of use out of a crib.\nPut simply, a bassinet is designed for the first 3-6 months of life, while a traditional crib can be used from birth, usually right through to 2-3 years of age — though this will often be different for each baby or toddler.\nPros and cons of a bassinet\nA snug, cozy cocoon, the bassinet’s smaller frame makes it ideal for newborns and younger babies. Bassinets are usually used during the first few months of life, up to when the baby starts rolling over or pushing up on hands and knees.\nBassinet pros\n\n\nPortability: Bassinets are lightweight and easy to move around, allowing you to keep your baby close, whether it’s for daytime naps or nighttime sleeping.\n\n\nSpace-saving: If you’re working with a smaller space, a bassinet fits nicely in a bedroom, leaving plenty of room for everything else.\n\n\nConvenience for night feeds: Bassinets are perfect if you’d prefer to sleep in the same room as your baby. They’re usually small enough to fit beside your bed, making those nighttime feedings or check-ins much more manageable.\n\n\nIdeal for newborns: The snug design of a bassinet helps your newborn baby feel secure, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping environment in the early weeks after birth.\n\n\nCrib transitioning: Starting your little one off in a bassinet may make the transition to a crib easier.\n\n\nBassinet cons\n\n\nLimited lifespan: Babies grow quickly, and most will outgrow a bassinet within 4-6 months, meaning you’ll need to transition to a crib sooner rather than later.\n\n\nWeight limits: Most bassinets have a weight capacity of 15-20 pounds, so larger babies may outgrow them even earlier.\n\n\nLess versatile: Bassinets don’t offer the longevity or multi-functionality that cribs often provide.\n\n\nHow long should a baby sleep in a bassinet?\nMost babies can sleep in a bassinet until they reach a specific weight limit (typically around 15-20 pounds) or until they start showing signs of greater mobility — like rolling over or pushing up on their hands and knees. For most parents, this window is around 4 to 6 months.\nOnce your baby starts becoming more mobile, it’s time to transition to a crib. While bassinets are wonderful for keeping your baby close, their smaller size and lower walls make them less suitable for older infants who are starting to explore their ability to move
7936!\nPros and cons of a crib\nCribs are an ideal long-term slumber spot for your little one. Typically crafted from sturdy materials like wood or metal, what they sacrifice in portability, they make up for with longevity and comfort.\nCrib pros\n\n\nLongevity: A crib is a long-term investment. It can be used from the newborn stage through toddlerhood and even beyond if you opt for a convertible crib that can transform into a toddler bed.\n\n\nSpaciousness: Cribs offer plenty of room for your baby to grow, stretch out, and move around comfortably as they become more active.\n\n\nSturdiness and safety: Cribs are built to be solid and secure, meeting strict safety standards. They’re designed to withstand years of use, making them a safe choice for older, more mobile babies.\n\n\nCost-effective over time: While the upfront cost may be higher, cribs can last for years (particularly in the case of convertible cribs), making them a more cost-effective option in the long run.\n\n\nCrib cons\n\n\nTakes up more space: Cribs are larger and more permanent, making them less ideal if you’re short on space or want the flexibility of moving your baby’s sleeping area around the house.\n\n\nLess convenient for night feeds: If you prefer having your baby close by during the night, a crib might be less convenient unless you have space for it in your bedroom.\n\n\nNot portable: Cribs are heavy and meant to stay in one place, making them a less flexible option if you need to move the baby’s sleep area frequently.\n\n\nShould I choose a bassinet or a crib for my newborn?\nBassinets are designed specifically for newborns — they’re small, portable, and cheaper than cribs, but this doesn’t necessarily make them the best option for all parents. During the first 6 months of life, a bassinet offers the ultimate convenience as they’re great for night feeds, an ideal companion for day trips, and have a relatively small footprint, making them well-suited to smaller living spaces.\nSooner or later though, your little one won’t be so little anymore, and you’ll need to upgrade to a crib. If you’re running on a tight budget, it might be better to suffer the inevitable expense of a crib up front, rather than kicking the can down the road, so to speak.\nUltimately, whether you should choose a bassinet or a crib depends on your priorities. If convenience, portability, and space-saving are concerns in the early months, a bassinet is a good option. However, if you’re looking to make a one-time investment and avoid future costs, starting with a crib may be the more economical choice in the long run.\nWhich is safer for my baby — a crib or a bassinet?\nAs long as they meet modern safety standards, either a crib or a bassinet is fine. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies sleep on a firm, flat surface with no extra bedding, pillows, or toys (such as stuffed animals) — and both a crib and a bassinet can provide this, but there are a few factors to keep in mind when deciding between the two:\nBassinets are great for newborns because they’re designed with the earliest months of parenthood in mind. They’re cozy, secure, and convenient, boasting superior portability. However, they’re only suitable for the first 3-6 months of life due to weight limits. And because of their lower sides, they’re also unsuitable for little ones who are getting more adventurous and can push up on their hands or roll over.\nCribs, by contrast, are larger, more stable, and designed to serve your tot until they’re toddling, with higher walls and more robust construction. Cribs also have strict safety standards set by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), ensuring things like proper slat spacing, secure mattress support, and banning of unsafe features like drop-down sides.\nIt’s also worth noting that the AAP recommends against co-sleepers, or any other kind of device that attaches to the parent’s bed.\nShould I buy a used crib or bassinet?\nBuying second-hand baby gear can be tempting, especially when you consider how quickly little ones outgrow things like cribs and bassinets. And yes, it can save you quite a bit of money — but there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind before going the pre-loved route.\nFirst and foremost, safety standards evolve. Traditional cribs and bassinets manufactured years ago might not meet the latest safety guidelines. For instance, cribs with drop-down sides were common at one point, but these have been banned in the US since 2011 due to safety concerns.\nSo, if you’re thinking about buying used, make sure it complies with current safety standards. Check the manufacturing date (most cribs have a label on the frame) and ensure the model hasn’t been recalled.\nNext up: the mattress. Whether you go for a crib or bassinet, you’ll need a firm, snug-fitting mattress. Over time, mattresses can lose their shape or become less firm, which can create unsafe gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib or bassinet. If you’re buying second-hand, it’s best to invest in a new mattress to ensure it’s firm and in to
7936p condition.\nAnd finally, keep an eye out for wear and tear. While some wear is natural, you’ll want to inspect the item closely for cracks, splinters, or loose mechanisms. Anything that compromises the stability of the crib or bassinet is a no-go.\nIn short: yes, you can buy both a bassinet and a crib used — but proceed with caution. After all, your baby’s sleep (and your peace of mind) is well worth it.\nWhether you’re leaning toward a bassinet for those early room-sharing months or thinking long-term with a crib, the choice comes down to what works best for your family’s needs, space, and budget. Both cribs and bassinets come with their own set of pros and cons, but whichever one you choose, your baby will have a safe and comfy spot to catch all those Zzzs — and let’s face it, is there anything more precious than gazing down at your baby sleeping soundly? \nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

7959            "description":"What is sleep regression?\nSleep regression describes the period of time, which usually begins around 3-4 months, when a baby’s sleep architecture changes and their sleep cycles mature to become more “adult-like”. During this transition, your baby’s sleep pattern may temporarily become disrupted and more erratic. For example, your baby might:\n\n\nStruggle to get to sleep.\n\n\nWake frequently in the night, seemingly at random.\n\n\nTake shorter naps, or skip naps altogether.\n\n\nBecome fussy during bedtime.\n\n\nFrustrating? Yes. Worrying? Perhaps. But just remember, while sleep regression signals a permanent change in your baby’s sleep behavior, the period of disruption is usually temporary. And however troublesome it may seem, this sleep “regression” is actually a positive sign that your baby is growing and developing.\nTruthfully, it’d be better to call this period a sleep progression, given the close link to physical, cognitive, and emotional development.\nWhen does sleep regression start?\nIf you’re a new parent, you’ve likely been warned about the perils of the 4-month sleep regression. This is one of the most well-known and challenging (eek!) phases of your baby’s development, and typically occurs around 3-4 months of age, as your little one transitions from their newborn sleep cycle to a more “adult-like” snoozing pattern.\nDuring the 4-month sleep regression, your baby’s sleep patterns may be a little all over the place — which often translates to more 3AM wake-up calls and trouble settling them back down once they’re awake. But it’s important to remember that this is actually an important developmental stage, and signals your baby establishing a more consistent sleep-wake cycle.\nSigns of the 4-month sleep regression:\n\n\nIncreased night wakings.\n\n\nCrying or fussiness around bedtime.\n\n\nShorter naps.\n\n\nDifficulty falling asleep.\n\n\nA reduction in overall sleep.\n\n\nWhat to do during the 4-month sleep regression:\n\n\nStick to a regular bedtime routine to help your baby recognise when it’s time to sleep.\n\n\nMake sure your baby’s room is quiet, dark, and set to a comfortable temperature.\n\n\nAvoid overstimulation before bedtime, and focus on calming activities like a bath or a story.\n\n\nEncourage self
7959-settling by putting your baby down when they’re drowsy but still awake.\n\n\nBe mindful of overtiredness, as it can make it harder for your baby to sleep.\n\n\nBe patient — remember, it may take time for your baby to adjust to this developmental shift.\n\n\nHow long does the 4-month sleep regression last?\nThough it can vary widely from one tot to the next, sleep regression usually lasts between 2 and 6 weeks. The duration of your baby’s sleep regression can depend on several factors, including their age, general temperament, and any developmental milestones they’re currently going through.\nNot all babies experience sleep regression in the same way, and believe it or not, a rare few (with some very lucky parents) skip the sleep regression phase altogether!\nWhen might other sleep disturbances occur?\n3 months of age\nWhile not all babies experience sleep regression this early on in life, it’s not uncommon for parents to notice changes in sleep at this age. During this time your little one may spend more time awake during the day and show signs of increased awareness of their surroundings.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nMore frequent night wakings.\n\n\nIncreased hunger.\n\n\nShorter naps or difficulty napping.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nContinue to follow a consistent sleep routine.\n\n\nOffer more frequent feedings if your baby seems hungry.\n\n\nBe patient as your baby adjusts to their growth spurt.\n\n\n6 months of age\nBy the time your baby reaches 6 months of age, they’re probably getting up to all sorts — rolling over, sitting up, and maybe even eating solid food. But with all these new skills comes lots of excitement and frustration, and this can — you guessed it — cause all kinds of nighttime disturbances.\nThis is also typically when your baby’s primary teeth start to emerge (although this can occur earlier in some infants), with teething pain often disrupting your baby’s sleep around the 6-month stage and beyond — although some don’t get their teeth until much later than this.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nWaking up more frequently at night, sometimes to practice new skills.\n\n\nMore active and restless sleep.\n\n\nIncreased crying or fussiness (often due to teething).\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nCreate a calm, quiet environment for sleep to help your baby wind down.\n\n\nGive your baby plenty of opportunities to practice new skills during the day.\n\n\nStay consistent with your sleep routine.\n\n\n8 months of age\nCoinciding with major milestones like crawling and pulling up to stand, this stage of your little one’s sleep development can be pretty turbulent. Separation anxiety may occur during this age too, due to your baby developing something called object permanence — the understanding that objects and people still exist even when they’re hidden or out of sight.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nSeparation anxiety causing difficulty at bedtime.\n\n\nIncreased mobility leading to restlessness in the crib.\n\n\nMore frequent wakings.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nReassure your baby with your presence but avoid creating new sleep associations (such as always rocking to sleep).\n\n\nStick to a consistent nap schedule, as overtiredness can worsen night wakings, but make sure the schedule is age appropriate.\n\n\nAllow for extra soothing and comfort if your baby is experiencing separation anxiety.\n\n\n12 months of age\nAt 12 months of age — or 1, if you like — milestones like walking or talking are bound to provide plenty of excitement for you and your little one. This is also a time when many parents start to transition their baby to a single-nap schedule, and these two factors have the potential to affect sleep.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nIncreased difficulty falling asleep.\n\n\nWaking up more often at night.\n\n\nResistance to naps or difficulty adjusting to a one-nap schedule.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nMaintain your baby’s usual bedtime routine.\n\n\nIf your baby is resisting naps, try to extend wake windows slightly without overt
7959iring them.\n\n\nBe patient as they adjust to new physical and cognitive skills.\n\n\n18 months of age\nAll of the excitement (and stress) brought on by your baby reaching the toddler stage can cause a variety of nighttime disturbances. A growing sense of independence, coupled with teething (your baby’s canine teeth often emerge between 16 and 22 months) and an increased likelihood of separation anxiety, can add an extra layer of challenge to their sleep routine.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nIncreased tantrums or resistance at bedtime.\n\n\nWaking up more frequently at night.\n\n\nTeething discomfort affecting sleep.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nKeep a consistent routine but be flexible when needed to accommodate teething pain (this should only affect sleep for 3-7 days).\n\n\nOffer comfort, but try not to introduce new sleep crutches (e.g. letting them fall asleep in your arms every night).\n\n\nStay calm and consistent in your approach to sleep training.\n\n\nA word on healthy sleep habits\nAs much as we’d love it to be the case, there’s no magic solution to sleep regression — but there are plenty of things you can do to minimize its effect.\nFor starters, try to stick to a bedtime routine. Babies thrive on routine, and by keeping a predictable pre-sleep ritual — think a warm bath and a classic lullaby or two — you’re creating signals that your little one will quickly begin to associate with sleep.\nA regular bedtime is important, too. If you’re able to, putting your baby to sleep at the same time every night will help get their body into a rhythm, making it much easier for them to drift off.\nTake it from us: blackout curtains are your little one’s best friend. The darker you can make their room, the better. There’s also some evidence that white noise machines may help babies sleep faster, but if you do choose to use one, keep the volume to a sensible level!\nSelf-settling is important, too. Instead of dashing in to tend to them as soon as you hear that all-too-familiar wailing sound, give them a few minutes to settle on their own. This is a gradual process, of course, but by giving them a little space to figure things out on their own, you’re helping to develop their sense of independence, eventually leading to fewer late-night disturbances.\nAnd another helpful tip is to put your baby down drowsy but still awake. It teaches them to fall asleep on their own, rather than relying on you to doze off. If they wake up in the middle of the night (which is completely normal), they'll be more likely to settle themselves back to sleep without needing your help.\nToddler sleeping habits\nBabies are one thing, but toddlers can be another level of unruly when bedtime rolls around. Curiosity combined with endless energy and a penchant for pushing boundaries isn’t exactly a recipe for bedtime success, but as with babies, the twilight troubles can be helped! Toddler sleep routines are notoriously tricky to tame, but it can be done.\nAs we mentioned earlier, consistency is your best friend here. Toddlers thrive on routine, so having a predictable bedtime ritual is essential. Whether it's reading their favorite book, snuggling up with a soft toy, or singing a familiar lullaby, sticking to the same steps every night helps solidify that the time for play is over, and now it’s time to get some Zzzs.\nIt’s also important to be mindful of your toddler’s energy levels leading up to bedtime. Avoid overly stimulating activities in the hour before bed — no running around or screen time. Instead, opt for calm, quiet activities like coloring or playing with blocks.\nCreating a soothing sleep environment is just as crucial for toddlers as it is for babies. Think dim lighting, cozy blankets, and a cool, quiet room. Some toddlers might even appreciate a nightlight if they're feeling a little wary of the dark.\nIf your toddler resists bedtime (as they often do), it can help to give them a bit of control. Offering them simple choices like which pajamas to wear or which book to read allows them to feel empowered and more cooperative when it’s time to settle down. Keep bedtime positive, but stay firm — they’ll quickly learn that while bedtime might not be negotiable, it doesn’t have to be a battle either.\nSleep regression is an unavoidable reality for many parents, but it’s important to remember two things: it’s a perfectly natural part of your baby’s development, and it won’t last forever, but it is a permanent change in how your baby sleeps. This might not bring comfort when your little one is waking for the third time during the night, but by understanding sleep regression and what it typically involves, you can help alleviate your baby’s (and your) sleep difficulties. \nSleep regression FAQs\nDo sleep regressions happen to all babies?\nMost babies experience a sleep regression at around the 4-month stage. Sleep regression typically happens because of developmental milestones, but each baby is unique — some may experience a more obvious regression than others, while some may show no signs of sleep regression at all.\nIs there anything I shouldn't do during baby’s sleep regression?\nDuring your baby’s sleep regression, it’s important not to introduce bad habits that could be hard to break later. Avoid completely changing your child’s sleep routine or relying too heavily on methods like feeding or rocking your baby to sleep every time they wake.\nStick to your usual bedtime routines, as this reinforces healthy sleep habits. Also, try to maintain consistency with their sleep environment — a dar
7959k, quiet, and calm space helps your baby associate their crib or bassinet with sleep.\nShould I let my baby “cry it out” during sleep regression?\nThe “cry it out” method is a personal choice, and some parents find it effective. However, when sleep regression occurs, your baby might need a little more comfort than usual, given all the developmental changes they’re undergoing. Instead of letting them cry for long periods, consider a gentler approach where you check in after short intervals.\nWhat is the 3-minute rule?\nThe 3-minute rule is a strategy used in sleep training where you allow your baby to fuss for 3 minutes before going in to soothe them. This can help teach them to self-settle while still offering reassurance. The goal is to gradually increase the time between check-ins, helping them learn to fall asleep on their own.\n \nReviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in December 2024.",

7982            "description":"Is a bassinet the best choice for my baby?\nIf bedtime is becoming a battle, it’s completely understandable to question whether the bassinet life is right for you and your baby, but your little one will eventually learn to love it. In the early months, it’s common for babies to resist change, but with time and patience they often settle into a routine, and their bassinet will become a safe and familiar space.\nAccording to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies up to 12 months should sleep on their backs on a firm, flat surface, and a bassinet provides just that. What’s more, due to its compact size and mobility, it allows you to keep your baby close, which can be especially helpful during nighttime feedings or when you need to change a wet or dirty diaper.\nWhat’s the difference between a bassinet and a crib?\nGood question! Put simply, cribs are larger and intended for long-term use. Bassinets are geared towards the first few months of your baby’s life. They’re compact, and portable — ideal when your little one is, well, still on the smaller side, and may benefit from being closer to you.\nGenerally, you’ll want to transition your baby from the bassinet to a crib by around the 3-6 month mark.\nWhat about smart bassinets?\nUsed appropriately, tech can be a huge help when it comes to parenting — especially during those early years — and as a female-founded company obsessed with female-first tech, this is something we’re rather passionate about.\nSmart bassinets are just like regular bassinets, but come equipped with one very special feature — they’re able to gently rock, mimicking the soothing motions you’d usually have to perform yourself.\nSome models may also incorporate in-built speakers and adjustable lighting, but it’s essential to check they fully comply with safe sleep recommendations — for example, any white noise should be at least 2 meters away from your baby’s head, and motion settings or in-built soothing functions should be used cautiously, as over-reliance on automated motion may interfere with independent sleep development.\nGetting your baby to sleep in a bassinet for the first time\nSo you’ve picked out the perfect baby bassinet, unpacked and constructed 
7982it, and now you’ve just got to put it to good use. Here’s how to help your baby adapt to their new sleeping environment and ensure they’re happy sleeping in a bassinet for the next few months to come.\nCheck your bassinet thoroughly\nBefore placing your tot down into the bassinet, make sure everything is set up correctly. Double-check that the mattress is firm and fits snugly without any gaps. Make sure the bassinet is placed on a flat surface, and that it’s free from any potential hazards such as loose bedding or toys.\nIt’s also worth looking into the bassinet’s weight limit, to ensure it’s safe for your baby’s size.\nEstablish a consistent routine\nBabies thrive on routine. Having a bedtime ritual provides a sense of security and helps signal that it’s time to wind down, so even if things are rough in the beginning it’s important to persist with sticking to a routine as best you can — the schedule can be flexible, but try to make sure you do the same things in the same order each night.\nRelaxing, calming rituals like a warm bath or gentle cuddle are all ideal lead-ins to a lie-down, but remember: consistency is key. Sometimes change is unavoidable, but where possible, try to keep your tot’s twilight timings and pre-sleep activities as predictable as you can. This way, they’ll understand that sleep is coming.\nTry swaddling\nSwaddling is a super useful (and completely adorable) way to help your baby feel more secure in their new sleeping space. There is a right way to do it though, so be sure to follow these approved steps:\n\n\nLay the swaddle blanket flat on a safe, clean surface in a diamond shape. Fold down the top corner to create a straight edge at the top.\n\n\nGently place your baby on their back in the center of the blanket with their shoulders aligned with the top edge (folded part).\n\n\nTake the left side of the blanket and wrap it snugly across your baby’s body, tucking it under their back on the right side. Make sure the blanket is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two to three fingers between the swaddle and the baby’s chest.\n\n\nFold the bottom corner of the blanket up over your baby’s feet and tuck it under the baby’s back. This keeps the baby’s legs in a slightly flexed position.\n\n\nTake the right side of the blanket and wrap it across your baby’s body, tucking it under the left side. Ensure that the swaddle is snug but allows for movement, especially around the baby’s hips.\n\n\nEnsure that the swaddle is not too tight around the baby’s chest or hips. They should be able to move their hips and legs slightly — this prevents hip dysplasia. Check that the baby’s face is not covered and that they can breathe comfortably.\n\n\nGently place your swaddled baby on their back in the bassinet. Ensure that the bassinet’s mattress is firm and free of loose bedding or toys.\n\n\nWhat makes swaddling so great? The startle reflex (or Moro reflex) often causes babies to react like an overly sensitive car alarm when being laid down to sleep — but swaddling has been shown to prevent this. It’s important to swaddle safely though, so remember:\n\n\nAlways place your baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).\n\n\nUse a firm, flat mattress in the bassinet and avoid loose bedding.\n\n\nKeep the swaddle snug but not too tight to allow for natural movement and to ensure comfort.\n\n\nAvoid overheating by dressing your baby in light layers and checking that the room is at a comfortable temperature.\n\n\n\n\nIf your baby shows any signs of rolling, you need to stop swaddling immediately for safety reasons — and you should stop altogether by 16 weeks.\n\n\nDon’t give up!\nAdjusting to a new sleep space can take time, and it’s completely normal for the process to involve some trial and error.\nDon’t be discouraged if your baby doesn’t immediately take to the bassinet. Persistence is key — keep trying, and be patient with both yourself and your baby. With consistency and a little creativity, you’ll find what works best for you both.\nRemember, every baby adjusts at their own pace, and what feels like a struggle now will likely become a comfortable routine in time.\nWhere should I put the bassinet?\nThe safest place for a bassinet is in your baby’s room or your own bedroom, ideally right next to your bed. This way, you can keep an eye on them during the night, making feeding and diaper changes easier, while following baby sleep safety guidelines. Just ensure the safe sleep space is free of loose bedding, pillows, or toys.\nCan my baby sleep in a bassinet if they’re rolling over?\nOnce your newborn baby starts rolling over, it’s best to move them to a crib, as bassinets are typically not designed to accommodate active movers. Rolling over in a smaller space can increase the risk of them becoming stuck in an awkward position — or in extreme cases, lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome — so transitioning to a crib ensures your baby sleeps in a safer, more spacious environment designed for movement.\nWhy won’t my newborn baby sleep in a bassinet?\nIf your baby’s struggling to sleep in their bassinet, there could be several reasons for this. Unfortunately, babies aren’t the most fluent at communicating their needs (that comes a little later!), but there may be a number of things contributing to their discomfort.\nThey’re gassy\nGas can be surprisingly painful for babies, especially as their digestive systems are still developing. If your baby seems fussy and uncomfortable after feeding, or if they squirm and grunt when lying down, trapped gas might be the issue.\nWhat can help: Try burping your baby thoroughly after feeding, even if they fall asleep. You can also give gentle tummy massages or “bicycle” their legs to help move the gas through their system. If the problem persists, it’s worth discussing it with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, while an assessment with a feeding expert might be needed to ensure their latch and positioning on the bottle or breast is optimal.\nThey can’t fall asleep because they’re overtired (yes, really!)\nWhile it might sound counterintuitive, an overtired baby will often have a harder time falling asleep. When they stay awake too long, babies’ bodies produce cortisol (a stress hormone) to keep them alert, which makes winding down for sleep more difficult.\nWhat can help: Pay close attention to your baby’s sleep cues, such as yawning, rubbing their eyes, or becoming fussy. Once you spot these signals, it’s time to start your bedtime routine. Sometimes, an earlier bedtime or more frequent naps during the day can help prevent overtiredness and make it easier for them to drift off in their bassinet.\nThey want to be held\nBabies are naturally wired to seek comfort and closeness, especially in the early months. If your baby falls asleep easily in your arms but wakes up when placed in the bassinet, they might be craving that physical connection.\nWhat can help: One way to ease the transition is to offer something familiar in the bassinet, like a soft piece of clothing you’ve worn, so they can smell your scent — but make sure you remove this once they’re asleep to adhere to safer sleep guid
7982ance. You might also try holding your baby close for a few minutes after laying them down to help them feel secure.\nJust be mindful to avoid creating a habit of only sleeping in your arms, as it could make transitioning to independent sleep even more challenging in the long run. It’s good to use naps as practice for settling themselves to sleep, but give them time to adjust and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.\nThey’ve got reflux\nReflux (or gastroesophageal reflux) is common in babies and can make lying flat uncomfortable, as stomach contents can move back up the esophagus. If your baby spits up frequently, arches their back, or seems uncomfortable after feeding, reflux could be contributing to their bassinet sleep struggles.\nWhat can help: Keeping your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding can help to reduce reflux. Your baby may also benefit from having some of their naps in a sling or baby carrier so they can stay upright. If the reflux seems severe, consult your pediatrician for advice on managing it (an assessment from a feeding expert could be useful too).\nHow to get baby to sleep in bassinet: Expert tips\nSo you’ve introduced your little one to the bassinet, and things are going more or less according to plan —joys! Here are a few extra tips to keep you and your baby sleeping through the night:\nFind your baby’s wake windows\nRemember how we mentioned that overtiredness can lead to fussiness and irritability in your baby? Well, this overtiredness is usually caused by overstretching their wake window — the amount of time they spend awake between naps.\nIt’s important to note that wake windows are not evidence-based or set in stone — some babies may stay awake for more or less time than the guidelines advise — but they can be a useful guide to tracking your baby’s normal sleep patterns.\nFor newborns, wake windows are often very short, but as they get older, these windows gradually lengthen. It’s important to observe your baby and see what works for them, but establishing their “ideal” wake windows can be beneficial once bedtime rolls around. For more information, check out our dedicated guide to wake windows by age.\nGet the temperature just right\nJust like us adults, our little ones sleep better in a room that’s not too hot or too cold, but it’s not just about comfort — overheating can increase the risk of SIDS.\nAim to keep the room at a comfortable 68-72°F (20-22°C). Dress your baby in light layers, and if you're using a swaddle, make sure it's breathable and appropriate for the room temperature. A good rule of thumb: your baby should feel warm, but not sweaty, when you check the back of their neck or chest.\nUse the 5 S’s\nIf you haven’t already come across Dr. Harvey Karp’s famous “5 S’s” method for soothing babies, let us introduce you. These techniques mimic the calming sensations of the womb and can help your baby settle into their bassinet and stay asleep longer:\n\n\nSwaddle: Wrapping your baby snugly helps recreate the security they felt in the womb, and prevents the startle reflex from waking them up.\n\n\nSide or stomach position: Hold your baby on their side or stomach while soothing them (but always place them on their back to sleep once they’re calm!).\n\n\nShush: A constant shushing sound mimics the sounds of the womb and can be incredibly calming — if you’re using a white noise machine, it’s important to ensure it’s no louder than 50 decibels and at least 2 meters away from your baby.\n\n\nSwing: Gentle, rhythmic motion, like rocking or swaying, can help lull your baby to sleep. If your bassinet has a rocking feature, even better.\n\n\nSuck: Offering a pacifier or allowing your baby to suck on their thumb can be very soothing and can help them self-settle if they wake in the night — though not all babies will accept a pacifier or suck their thumb.\n\n\nJust as introducing your baby to anything unfamiliar can be a challenge, encouraging them to sleep in a brand new bassinet for the first time can take a little perseverance. If they don’t settle into their new sleeping arrangement straight away, remember that by establishing a consistent sleep routine, swaddling them before bed, and above all staying persistent, they’ll soon be sleeping soundly in their bassinet.",

8005            "description":"Why is my baby’s room temperature important?\nWhether you’re a new parent or a decorated veteran of newborn nurturing, the question “How well is my little one sleeping?” is likely to have run through your mind at least once or twice. And, as we all know, temperature has a huge role to play in the quality of our sleep — from how easy it is to drift off, to the likelihood of waking up during the night.\nHowever, babies can’t regulate their body temperature as easily as adults, so they’re much more vulnerable to temperature-related sleep disturbances.\nA baby who’s too chilly or too warm may become restless, agitated, and uncomfortable, making it much harder for them to settle down. In more extreme cases, overheating may even raise the likelihood of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).\nYour little one is actually more sensitive to temperature once they enter deep sleep, so it’s important to keep close tabs on how warm (or cold) their environment is while they catch some much-needed Zs.\nWhat’s the ideal room temperature for my baby?\nThe general guidelines state that it’s best to keep your baby’s room between 68 and 72°F (20-22°C). This provides the perfect level of warmth and coziness without any risk of overheating.\nOf course, if your baby prefers it a little warmer or cooler than this, don’t feel obligated to keep the room within this range. The ultimate goal is to create an environment as conducive to a good night’s sleep as possible. Make small adjustments as you go, and figure out what works best for your little one.\nMeasuring the temperature of your little one’s room (or your own if they’re sleeping in a bedside crib) is super simple. Digital room thermometers can be found online for as little as $5-10, and most modern baby monitors come with a built-in thermometer.\nHow to tell if your baby is too hot or too cold\nDue to their inability to communicate — that stage will come soon enough, but let’s worry about the here and now — you’ll need to keep an eye out for any signs that your baby might be too hot or cold. If you notice any of the cues listed below, it’s time to make some temperature adjustments.\nRather than simply checking your baby’s hands or feet, feel their chest or the back of their neck. These areas can give you a better sense of your baby’s body temperature. Listen to their breathing, too — rapid breathing is a solid indicator that it’s time to cool them down.\nSigns your baby is too hot:\n\n\nSweaty skin or hair. If you notice that your baby’s skin feels damp or sweaty, especially on their back or neck, they might be getting too warm.\n\n\nFlushed cheeks. Warm, red cheeks can be a clue that your baby is overheated.\n\n\nRestlessness. An overheated baby may become fussy or have trouble settling down for sleep.\n\n\nRapid breathing. Overheating can sometimes cause faster breathing, so if you notice this, it might be time to cool things down.\n\n\nIf your baby is too hot, try removing some of their clothing layers. A fan might help too, but don’t point it in their direction, as this might cause the opposite problem and make them too chilly! Placing a cool washcloth on their skin for a moment or too may also help, but if it doesn’t, it may be better to move them to a different room entirely until their bedroom temperature falls within the recommended range.\nSigns your baby is too cold:\n\n\nCool hands and feet. While cold hands and feet aren’t always a reliable indicator (they can feel cold even when the rest of their body is warm), if they’re cold to the touch, it might be too chilly.\n\n\nShivering. Although not common, shivering can be a sign that your baby is too cold and needs warming up.\n\n\nLethargy or fussiness. If your little one is unusually lethargic or fussy, it might be because they’re trying to conserve their warmth.\n\n\nIf your baby is too cold, add an extra layer of clothing. If they haven’t learned how to roll over yet, it’s also safe to swaddle them in a snuggly single blanket (just be sure to follow the AAP’s recommended swaddling technique).\nHow to create a safe sleep environment for your baby\nOnce you’ve got the temperature in that perfect sweet spot (between 68-72°F), the next step is making sure your baby’s environment is primed for slumber time. A few simple adju
8005stments can make a world of difference, so if you’re struggling to get your baby to drift off, try out some of the tips below:\nHow to dress your baby for bedtime\nIn warmer months, light, breathable fabrics like cotton are your baby’s best friend. A simple onesie or light pajamas paired with a lightweight sleep sack (1 Tog or below is ideal) will keep your tot cool and comfortable.\nIn the colder seasons, layer them up with a snug, long-sleeved onesie, and a slightly warmer sleep sack — between 1-2.5 Tog. Unless swaddling, do not use a blanket — this can pose a significant risk to your baby if they’re below 12 months of age. You also shouldn’t cover a swaddled baby with a second blanket as this can cause overheating.\nIs it safe to use a fan, heater, or humidifier in my baby’s room?\nA fan can be a great tool for keeping your baby cool on warmer evenings. Some studies even suggest that increasing air circulation can reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 72%. Just make sure that the fan isn’t blowing directly on your baby, and that it’s at a safe distance from their crib or bassinet. Aim for a gentle breeze, rather than an icy gale!\nSpace heaters are useful in cooler rooms, but again, make sure it’s positioned well away from your baby’s sleeping spot, and never aim it directly at them. Monitor the temperature closely, too — we’d only recommend this option if you’ve got a digital thermometer to hand.\nHumidifiers can come in handy during dry seasons, where low humidity can lead to congestion or dry skin. A humidity level of 30-50% is ideal for your tot, and will promote easier breathing.\nDo I need a thermometer for my baby’s room?\nThere’s no rule saying you must use a thermometer to measure your baby’s room temperature, but we highly recommend grabbing one.\nWidely available and affordable, there’s little reason not to pick one up — they’re well worth the investment for the peace of mind of knowing your baby’s room temperature is optimal. This said, if you’ve got a baby monitor, you might not even need to spend any more money, as most modern units come pre-fitted with a digital thermometer.\nIs there a link between room temperature and sudden infant death syndrome?\nYes, A 2018 study into SIDS found a connection between increased temperatures and a raised likelihood of SIDS mortality. While we still don’t fully understand all the causes of SIDS, what we do know is that keeping your baby’s sleep environment at the right temperature — between 68-72°F (20-22°C) — 
8005can help reduce the risk.\nIf it’s summer and the room gets a little hotter, or in winter when the house might be colder, you’ll want to adjust what they’re wearing or how you’re warming the room — but always be mindful of avoiding overheating.\nIf you’ve ever tried to sleep in a room that’s either swelteringly hot or icy cold, you’ll know how hard it can be to drift off and avoid tossing and turning through the night. It’s no different for your little one, which means setting the right ambient temperature is really important.\nThe best room temperature is generally between 68-72°F, but it’s important to pay attention to your baby’s cues to determine if they’re too hot, too cold, or in the words of Goldilocks, they’re “juuust right”.\nSleep temperature FAQs\nIs 24 degrees OK for a baby’s room?\nA room temperature of 24°C (75°F) is on the warmer side for a baby’s room. While it’s a bit higher than the ideal temperature of 68-72°F (20-22°C), you can adjust by dressing them in lighter layers and using breathable fabrics to help your baby sleep safely.\nWhat age can a baby regulate their own body temperature?\nBabies typically start to better regulate their own baby’s temperature around 12-18 months. However, before this, it’s important to manage the baby’s room temperature to ensure they aren’t getting too hot or too cold during sleep.\nWhat’s the best way to monitor my baby’s room temperature?\nUsing a room thermometer or a baby monitor with a built-in sensor allows you to easily keep track of your baby’s room temperature, ensuring it stays within the ideal temperature range.\nWhat is the safest way to keep my baby warm without overheating?\nThe key to a safe sleep environment is using a sleep sack or wearable blanket instead of loose bedding. This helps regulate your baby’s temperature while preventing overheating.\nWhat should I avoid putting in my baby’s crib?\nTo maintain a safe sleep environment, keep your baby’s crib free of pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. Stick to a fitted sheet and appropriate sleepwear — breathable cotton is best.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

8028            "description":"What is active sleep?\nFor babies, active sleep is similar to what we refer to as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep in adults — characterized by continuous movement of the eyes under the lids, irregular breathing, increased brain activity, and often a slightly faster-than-normal heart rate.\nBut while adult REM sleep and baby active sleep share many similarities, there’s one quite crucial difference: when adults enter REM sleep, their bodies usually stay quite still (save for the odd twitch here and there), while babies in active sleep are often very fidgety. It’s common for them to twitch, wriggle, jerk, and even pull faces.\nBabies in active sleep can also be pretty vocal, so it’s not unusual for them to make grunting, whimpering, or crying sounds. It’s this combination of sound and movement that can often mislead a parent into believing their little one is awake rather than 
8028in the throes of active sleep.\nBut while it can be concerning at first to see your baby appearing restless, twitchy, or whimpering in their sleep, it’s a totally normal sleep stage for a newborn — and in fact, it’s an important part of their sleep cycle, since it’s thought to play a key role in their brain’s early development.\nWhat are the signs of active sleep in babies?\nWhen your baby is in active sleep, they’re not in a deep, restful state but a lighter stage of sleep where they’re typically more responsive to external stimuli. So while they’re still very much sleeping, they’ll often make little movements or sounds — from throwing their arms in the air to making ‘cooing’ or ‘gurgling’ noises.\nYour baby is probably in active sleep if they’re doing any or all of the following:\n\n\nMoving their body. Active sleep in babies is often accompanied by lots of movement; they may twitch, wriggle, squirm, or move their arms and legs.\n\n\nTwitching their eyes. Like REM sleep in adults, babies’ eyes are often moving even though they’re asleep — so you may notice their eyelids fluttering.\n\n\nPulling faces. When in active sleep your baby might make facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or grimacing.\n\n\nMaking sounds. Babies often make small noises during active sleep — grunting, whimpering, and gurgling are common.\n\n\nBreathing erratically. While it’s usually nothing to worry about, babies’ breathing is often faster and more irregular during active sleep.\n\n\nHow long does active sleep last in babies?\nFor newborns, active sleep is the first stage of sleep they experience, unlike in adults where REM sleep begins around 90 minutes after first dropping off.\nBetween the ages of 0 and 3 months, babies typically spend around 50% of the time they’re sleeping in active sleep, with the rest made up of “quiet sleep” — which we’ll come to very shortly. Since a newborn sleep cycle usually lasts around 50-60 minutes, active sleep will last for roughly 25-30 minutes at a time — though of course, this can vary based on your baby’s age and development.\nAs your baby gets older, they’ll usually spend less and less time in active sleep. By the time they reach 12 months, for example, active or REM sleep will make up around 30% of their total shuteye, with their sleep cycle more closely resembling an “adult” cycle (which includes around 20-25% of REM sleep) by about the age of 5.\nHow does active sleep differ from “quiet sleep”?\nNewborn sleep cycles tend to include two different types of sleep — active and quiet sleep — with each cycle split roughly 50\/50 between one and the other. The cycle starts with active sleep, where your baby’s little eyes dart about under their eyelids and their brains are still whirring away, before transitioning to quiet sleep.\nBy the time they reach the quiet sleep stage (which is sometimes referred to as non-REM or NREM sleep), your baby is in a deeper, more restful state. They’ll often fully relax (no more wriggling limbs) and their breathing will become slow, deep, and more regular. Their brain is far less active during this stage, which is why they’re less likely to move around, pull faces, or make noises — hence the term quiet sleep.\nThis pattern of active-to-quiet sleep plays a key role in your baby’s early growth and development, with active sleep thought to be pivotal in developing their brain and quiet sleep more focused on physical development.\nHow do I tell if my baby is awake or in active sleep?\nBecause babies tend to be quite restless and often a little “chatty” during active sleep, it’s not always easy to tell if they’re sleeping or awake. Small or sudden movements during active sleep can be mistaken for signs of wakefulness, while their occasional whimpers may make it seem like they’re trying to get your attention.\nHowever, these kinds of behaviors are normal during this lighter sleep stage and don’t necessarily indicate that they’re awake — or about to wake. Fortunately, there are a few key signs that can help you tell whether your baby is in active sleep and can be left to rest or they’re awake and trying to tell you they need something!\n\n\n\n\nActive Sleep\n\n\nAwake\n\n\n\n\nEyes: Closed, but often with fluttering eyelids indicating rapid eye movement (REM).\n\n\nEyes: Fully open and focused, looking around or engaging with surroundings.\n\n\n\n\nMovements: Often random, brief twitches or jerks of arms, legs, or face.\n\n\nMovements: More purposeful and sustained, such as stretching or reaching out.\n\n\n\n\nBreathing: Irregular, with varying speeds or short pauses.\n\n\nBreathing: Steady and regular, reflecting more consistent body rhythms.\n\n\n\n\nSounds: Occasional grunts, whimpers, or short cries that don’t persist.\n\n\nSounds: Continuous crying or fussing until comforted, showing clear signs of distress or need.\n\n\n\n\nWhy is my baby crying during active sleep?\nIt’s quite common for babies to make whimpering sounds or even cry briefly during active sleep, but this isn’t usually a sign of distress or discomfort. Your baby’s nervous systems are still maturing at this early stage of their development, and this can cause them to make involuntary sounds during sleep, including occasional crying noises.\nAs long as your baby’s cries are occasional and short-lived — and they settle down quickly and continue sleeping in between each whimper — there’s normally no need for concern. If the crying persists, escalates, or if they seem genuinely distressed, however, you may want to check on them as they’re likely in need of attention.\nShould I wake my baby if they’re restless during active sleep?\nWhile it can be tempting to try to wake your baby or pick them up when they appear restless during active sleep — especially if they’re very wriggly or making lots of whimpering sounds — it’s best to let them sleep unless they appear distressed.\n
8028Restlessness during the first 25-30 minutes or so of sleep is perfectly normal for a newborn, and just because they’re wriggling, twitching, whimpering, or grumbling it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re agitated or uncomfortable. They’ll soon transition into a more peaceful, quiet sleep.\nOf course, if you have any concerns about your baby’s sleep patterns — for example, if they show unusual sleep behaviors such as prolonged or very irregular breathing patterns, or they seem to be struggling to sleep at all — it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional.\nThe question of whether your baby is awake or in active (REM) sleep is just one of many you’ll likely ask during the early stages of parenthood. \nBut while it can be difficult to tell the difference between a newborn who’s just sleeping restlessly and one who’s awake and in need of comfort, picking up on the telltale signs of active sleep can help you determine when the time is right to leave your baby to rest — where they’ll soon drift into a quiet, peaceful sleep.\nLooking for a full breakdown of your baby’s sleep cycles at each stage of their development?

8051            "description":"What are infant sleep cycles and how do they work?First things first: what is a sleep cycle? Well, a sleep cycle refers to the different stages of sleep we (or more specifically, our bodies and brains) go through during a single period of rest. Most people go through multiple sleep cycles across one “stretch” of sleep, without necessarily waking in between.Each sleep cycle is made up of a combination of REM and non-REM (NREM) sleep, with the former being a lighter, often dream-filled sleep state where the brain is more active, and the latter made up of various stages more associated with deep sleep.As you’ll know if you are (or have ever been) a parent, baby sleep cycles can be very different from adults’. For starters, they tend to be much shorter, particularly at the newborn stage, while the combination of REM vs NREM sleep for newborns is around 50\/50 — in comparison, adult sleep is usually made up of 75-80% NREM sleep.Infant sleep cycles evolve as they get older too, both in terms of length and makeup. For example, each sleep cycle will become longer, and the percentage of REM sleep (often called active sleep in babies) will decrease, meaning the older they are the more time they’ll spend in a deep, restful sleep state.How long are sleep cycles in babies?In newborns, sleep cycles usually last somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes — in contrast to a typical adult sleep cycle of around 90 to 110 minutes. These cycles are made up of around 50% active (or REM) sleep, where they tend to be more restless and prone to waking, and 50% quiet (or NREM) sleep, where they’ll be in a deeper, more restful sleep.As babies get older, their sleep cycles gradually lengthen and their sleep patterns become a little more structured. From about 3 months onwards, babies start to adopt a more “adult” sleep cycle — each cycle may last closer to 60-90 minutes, while they also spend less time in REM sleep (around 30-40%) and more in deeper non-REM sleep.When do babies start sleeping for longer periods?By around 12 months, a baby’s sleep cycle will much more closely resemble that of an adult. Sleep cycles may last up to 90 minutes at a time, and the split between light REM and deep NREM sleep will skew even more towards the latter — as with most adults, each cycle will be made up of around 75-80% non-REM sleep.Of course, this doesn’t mean your little one’s sleep 
8051schedule will become fully adult-like — they may still be sleeping up to 14 hours a day (double the recommended minimum of 7 hours for adults) and napping 1-2 times in the daytime — but how (and how long) they sleep during each cycle will be more in line with how grown-ups experience sleep.Baby sleep cycles by ageIn your baby’s first year, their sleep cycles will go through a series of evolutions, starting with shorter, more “active” sleep cycles and graduating to longer cycles made up of more deep, restorative sleep. Eventually, their sleep cycles will start to look a lot more “adult-like”.While these timelines aren’t carved in stone (as with anything during early parenthood, few things are fixed or “normal”) and all babies move through sleep cycles slightly differently, you can usually see some patterns emerge as they age, with their sleep cycles beginning to crystallize from 3 months or so.Not every baby will follow these patterns exactly, but the below is a good general guide:\n\nAge\nAverage Sleep Cycle Length\n% of active (REM) sleep\n% of deep (NREM) sleep\n\n\n0-3 months\n30-60 minutes\n50%\n50%\n\n\n3-6 months\n60-90 minutes\n30-40%\n60-70%\n\n\n6-12 months\n70-90 minutes\n20-30%\n70-80%\n\n\n12+ months\n90 minutes\n20-25%\n75-80%\n\nNewborn (0-3 months) sleep cycleA newborn may sleep for up to 18 hours a day, usually in short bursts with frequent waking. Their sleep cycles at this stage will be short — generally between 30 and 60 minutes — and they’ll typically spend the first 20-30 minutes of each cycle in active or REM sleep, which means they can appear restless and fidgety, before settling into a deeper “quiet” sleep.At 0-3 months, your baby’s sleep patterns are usually characterized by:\nShort sleep cycles. Newborn sleep cycles tend to be no longer than 60 minutes at a time, sometimes lasting as little as 30 minutes.\nMore time in “active” sleep. Typically, around 50% of a newborn’s sleep cycle will involve active or REM sleep, a lighter sleep state where restlessness is common.\nMany daytime naps. Newborn sleep occurs in short bursts, with frequent wake windows. Your baby may have 4-6 separate naps during the day, or even more.\nA lack of circadian rhythm. Newborns’ internal sleep-wake rhythms are not yet fully developed, so there’s no distinction between daytime and nighttime sleep. \n3-6 months sleep cycleAt this stage, your baby’s sleep cycles will start to increase in length, typically lasting between 60 and 90 minutes at a time. They may still sleep for up to 16 hours a day, but more of this will occur at night (though they’ll still be napping regularly during the day). The makeup of their sleep will start to change too, with around 60-70% of each cycle spent in deeper NREM sleep. At 3-6 months, your baby’s sleep habits may resemble something like this:\nLonger sleep cycles. Sleep cycles typically become longer from around 3 months onwards, with each cycle likely to last at least 60 minutes.\nLess time in “active” sleep. Your baby will start to spend more time in non-REM sleep (a deeper and more peaceful sleep state) and display less restlessness.\nMore nighttime sleep. Around 3-4 months, melatonin production regulates (a hormone that supports the circadian rhythm), which means your baby will usually begin to sleep for longer during the night.\nTheir circadian rhythms will begin to develop, which means they’ll usually spend longer sleeping during the night.\nMore consistent nap patterns. Your little one should start to establish a more predictable nap routine, with 3-4 naps throughout the day.\n6-12 months sleep cycleFrom 6 months onwards, baby sleep cycles tend to become more “adult”. This doesn’t mean they’ll begin sleeping exclusively during the night, of course, but they may be down to just 2-3 daily naps. Each sleep cycle will last up to 90 minutes (which is about normal for an adult) and they’ll spend up to three-quarters of their snoozing time in a deeper, more restful sleep state.At 6-12 months, babies’ sleep patterns have a few defining characteristics:\nAdult-like sleep cycles. From 6 months your baby’s sleep cycles are closer in length to an adult’s, with each cycle lasting around 70-90 minutes at a time.\nMore time in deep sleep. Each sleep cycle will be split roughly 70\/30 between deeper NREM sleep and lighter REM sleep.\nFewer daytime naps. Your baby will typically sleep for longer at night, and they’ll normally be down to just two main naps in the daytime — some may be on a single nap from 10-12 months.\nDevelopmental disruptions. Development-related changes such as learning to sit up and crawl (along with factors like teething) can introduce temporary sleep disturbances.\n12+ months sleep cycleBy the time your little one has reached toddlerdom (yes, it is a word), their sleep cycles will much more closely resemble those of an adult. Again, this doesn’t mean their sleep schedule will align with yours, but as with an adult each cycle will last roughly 90 minutes, and they’ll experience more NREM sleep too (arou
8051nd 75-80% per cycle). They’ll still likely be napping during the day, but you can usually transition them to a single daytime nap.By 12 months and beyond, your baby’s sleep patterns will be more predictable:\nSolidified sleep cycles. Your baby’s sleep cycle will be roughly the same as an adult’s at this stage, with each cycle lasting around 90 minutes.\nConsistent REM \/ NREM pattern. Like adults, toddlers tend to experience around 75-80% deep (NREM) sleep, and 20-25% REM sleep.\n1-2 daytime naps. Most toddlers will need just 1-2 naps a day, and will usually drop to a single nap between 10-18 months — though this can vary from child to child.\nLess frequent night waking. Most toddlers can sleep through the night and will wake less frequently.\nNavigating your baby’s sleep patterns can sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces, but understanding the basics of their sleep cycles can provide much-needed clarity in the midst of sleepless nights.While every baby is different, knowing what to expect as they grow will help you adjust to their changing sleep needs — whether that means embracing those early-day naps or celebrating the longer stretches of night sleep that eventually, mercifully arrive.Remember, it’s all about patience, flexibility, and finding what works best for both you and your baby. By tuning into their unique sleep cues and rhythms, you’ll be better equipped to foster healthy sleep habits and, ultimately, even enjoy a little more rest yourself.Reviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in November 2024.",

8074            "description":"What are the different stages of baby sleep?Newborns experience very short sleep cycles — they typically last around 30-60 minutes at a time, averaging around 50 minutes — with each of these cycles split roughly 50\/50 between two distinct sleep stages: active sleep and quiet sleep, which are sometimes referred to as REM and NREM sleep respectively.While we apply these terms in the context of baby sleep, however, newborns don’t experience REM and NREM sleep in the exact same way adults do — primarily because they don’t yet carry the significance they do for adults in terms of restorative functions.As your baby gets older, their sleep architecture will continue to evolve into a more “adult-like” pattern, where they’ll spend a decreasing amount of time in active (REM) sleep and more in quiet (NREM) sleep. The NREM sleep stages will also become more varied and complex in nature, increasing each cycle’s restorative powers.It’s important to note that when we refer to sleep cycles, we’re not necessarily talking about the total duration of each sleep but the repeating pattern of different stages that occur each time we sleep — newborns may sleep for up to 4 hours at a time, while sleep cycles typically last no more than an hour, so they’ll usually experience multiple sleep cycles during each snooze, quickly cycling between each stage. Here’s a breakdown of each newborn sleep cycle stage in more detail:Stage 1: Active sleepActive sleep is a baby’s version of REM sleep, and refers to a lighter sleep stage where their brains remain active and more responsive to external stimuli. REM stands for rapid eye movement, so called because the eyes tend to move around under the eyelids during sleep.While active sleep in babies shares similarities with adult REM sleep, babies in active sleep often appear quite restless and agitated — while it’s usually not because they’re grouchy or uncomfortable, newborns tend to wriggle, twitch, squirm, breathe erratically, and make noises during active sleep. How long does it take a baby to enter REM sleep?Newborn sleep cycles are a little like adult sleep cycles in reverse. So while REM sleep occurs roughly 90 minutes into the sleep cycle for adults and is the last stage they experience before the cycle “resets”, active sleep is the first sleep stage a baby enters. It will usually begin within just a few minutes of them first drifting off.How long does REM sleep last in newborns?Sleep cycles typically last somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes for a newborn, with each cycle made up of roughly 50% “active” sleep. Therefore if your baby normally experiences an hour-long sleep cycle, you should expect them to spend roughly half of this time in active sleep before transitioning into a deeper slumber — though of course, this can vary per baby and s
8074ome may have slightly longer or shorter active sleep cycles.Depending on how long they sleep for, a newborn might go through multiple sleep cycles in a single period of sleep, so they’ll usually experience the transition from REM to NREM sleep (and back again) more than once.Stage 2: Quiet sleepNon-REM or “quiet sleep” is the second major sleep stage a newborn enters. It occurs after active (REM) sleep, and is a much deeper, more peaceful sleep state. The restlessness that characterizes active sleep will subside, breathing will become more consistent, and your baby will typically be much harder to wake.A baby’s brain is much less active when they reach the quiet sleep stage, and save for the occasional twitch or whimper they’ll generally lie still and silent, sleeping soundly — at least until they wake or the sleep cycle begins again.When do babies enter quiet sleep?In a typical newborn sleep cycle, the transition from active (REM) to quiet (NREM) sleep occurs about halfway through. It depends on how long your baby’s sleep cycles usually last, of course, but let’s say they’re normally around 60 minutes — the first half will be spent in active sleep, and they’ll enter the quiet (NREM) sleep stage around the 30-minute mark. How long does quiet sleep last in newborns?While REM sleep typically makes up around half of every sleep cycle in a newborn, the other 50% is spent in quiet or non-REM sleep. So, as with active sleep, quiet sleep will usually last roughly half of an hour-long sleep cycle. If your baby has shorter cycles, they’ll naturally spend less time in NREM sleep.When do baby sleep patterns change?The 50\/50 pattern of active versus quiet sleep is typical of a newborn’s sleep cycle, and will usually be the way they experience sleep for roughly the first 3 months. As they get older, they’ll begin to transition to a more complex sleep pattern — their sleep cycles will lengthen and include a number of different stages.Around 4-6 months, the shift to longer periods of non-REM sleep will become more noticeable. Your baby’s sleep cycles might last 60-90 minutes, and be made up of more stages of quiet sleep. This means they’ll spend less time in “active” or REM sleep (around 30-40% of each cycle) and more in a more restful, restorative sleep state.As they reach their first birthday, your baby’s sleep cycle will typically resemble that of an adult, with this evolution in sleep structure helping to support their brain development and growth. Adults go through four different stages of sleep, including three non-REM (NREM) stages and one REM stage — which is typically where dreams occur.Here’s a rough breakdown of baby sleep stages as they get older:\nNREM 1: Drowsiness. Your baby is transitioning between wakefulness and sleep. They may have slow eye movements and their muscles start to relax.\nNREM 2: Light sleep. Their breathing becomes more regular and their heart rate slows. Eye movements stop and their body temperature drops.\nNREM 3: Deep sleep. The deepest stage of non-REM sleep, often referred to as “slow-wave sleep”. Their breathing and heart rate are at their slowest and it’s difficult to wake them.\nREM: Active sleep. The brain becomes “active”, almost resembling a waking state. They may become restless and fidgety.\nWhile your baby’s sleep cycles will be even more adult-like by 12 months — up to 80% of each cycle may be made up of non-REM sleep — but it’s not until they reach around 5 years old that their “sleep architecture” is fully developed and closely matches that of a grown-up.As your newborn navigates through their early sleep stages, it can feel like a never-ending cycle of eat-sleep-cry-repeat. But with each new phase, your baby’s sleep habits are evolving, moving them one step closer to longer, deeper rest. So, while it might seem your sleepless nights will never end, eventually you’ll both be able to enjoy peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.Reviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in November 2024. ",

8097            "description":"How much sleep is normal for a baby?It’s perfectly normal for a newborn to spend most of the day sleeping. While this will be spread across multiple short sleep cycles of around 30-60 minutes each, during the first 0-3 months most babies sleep for a total of between 14 and 18 hours every day. They’ll often sleep for around 8-9 hours during the daytime and roughly the same at night.When they get a little older (usually from around 8-12 weeks), they won’t require quite as much sleep, but they’re still likely to spend 12-16 hours a day snoozing. This will usually involve a slightly more predictable daytime nap sc
8097hedule (3-4 naps during the day, for example) and they should (thankfully) start sleeping for longer stretches at night — possibly up to 6-8 hours.Is it possible for a baby to sleep too much?Yes. Babies require plenty of sleep for brain development and physical growth, but it’s also important that they spend enough time awake and alert for things like feeding and bonding. While it’s quite rare for a baby to sleep too much — and sleeping a little longer than normal isn’t usually anything to worry about unless they’re showing other symptoms — if they’re snoozing through their normal feeding times, unusually difficult to wake, or struggling to gain weight, this could indicate an underlying issue.You certainly don’t want to get into a pattern where your baby sleeps through and misses their daytime feeds, and is then awake for most of the night as a result. Newborns especially can sometimes be sleepy around their regular feeding time, but it’s important to fully wake them to take a good milk feed.Generally, though, as long as your baby is feeding, peeing, and pooping regularly — and they’re not displaying any signs of illness — you don’t have too much reason to worry, even if they’re occasionally sleeping a little longer than you might expect.It’s also important to remember that all babies’ sleep needs are different and often changeable. They may simply be more tired on a particular day because there’s more going on, for example, and therefore require a touch more daytime sleep.How much sleep is too much for a baby?While it’s normal for a newborn to spend up to three-quarters of their day sleeping, it’s quite uncommon for them to sleep for more than 19 hours in a 24-hour period. Sleeping for this long doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an issue — it’s not completely unheard of for newborns to sleep for up to 20 hours — but it might be a concern if they’re missing feeds or not gaining weight as they should (keeping an eye on their number of wet and dirty diapers is a good indicator of whether they’re hydrated and well-fed).As your baby gets older, their sleep needs will decrease. By the time they reach 3 months old, for example, you shouldn’t expect them to be sleeping as much as they did when they were fresh out of the womb — at this stage, it’s pretty rare for them to need more than about 16 hours of sleep, while around 3-4 daytime naps should usually be enough.Can a baby sleep too much during the day?Yes, but this is generally only a concern if it affects their nighttime sleep pattern or feeding schedule. Babies, especially newborns, have a natural need for a lot of sleep and daytime naps are essential for their development, but too much sleep during the day can interfere with establishing a consistent nighttime routine.For babies older than a few months, excessive daytime sleep may disrupt their circadian rhythms. If your baby is sleeping for longer stretches during the day, it might make it harder for them to settle and sleep for long stretches at night — if this is the case, it can help to gradually reduce their daytime naps to ensure they’re well-rested but not oversleeping​.Can a baby sleep too much at night?Generally, it’s less of a concern for a baby to sleep for long stretches at night, especially as they grow older and their sleep patterns mature. In fact, for babies over 3 to 4 months, sleeping longer at night is usually a sign of healthy sleep development. For newborns, however, it’s important to ensure their nighttime sleep doesn’t interfere with their feeding needs. Newborn babies typically need to wake every 2 to 4 hours to feed, especially in the first few weeks, so it may be necessary to wake them to make sure they’re feeding regularly.Once they’re back at their birth weight, otherwise healthy, and signed off by your pediatrician or midwife, you can normally let them sleep for longer at night and focus more on waking them for feeds during the day. Is too much sleep bad for a baby?Sleeping a little too much generally won’t do your baby any harm unless it interferes with their feeding schedule or is linked to an underlying health issue. For newborns, sleeping through feeds can impact their growth and weight gain, while if you’re finding it unusually difficult to wake them this could be a sign of something like jaundice or low blood sugar​.Older babies tend to sleep in longer stretches, especially at night. But if they’re sleeping too much during the day, their natural body clock can be thrown off, meaning it might be more difficult to get them to settle at night or they might wake more frequently.In most cases, your baby sleeping too much is only really a concern if any of the following are true:\nThey’re missing feedings. Newborns, in particular, need to feed every 2 to 4 hours, and if they’re skipping meals because they’re sleeping too much this can inhibit their growth and development.\nThey’re not gaining weight. If your baby is sleeping for long stretches and doesn’t seem to be putting on enough weight, it could be because they’re sleeping too much and not getting the nourishment they need.\nThey’re unusually lethargic. If you find that your little one is not only sleeping a lot but they’re often drowsy and difficult to wake, this could be a sign of an infection or a condition such as jaundice.\nThey’re not sleeping at night. Newborn sleep patterns don’t tend to be impacted by day and night, but babies older than a few months might struggle to sleep at nighttime if they’re getting too much sleep during the day.\nIs my baby sleeping too much?As we’ve said, you don’t usually need to concern yourself with whether your baby is sleeping too much unless it’s affecting their normal feeding routine (which might mean they’re also struggling to gain weight) or you think it might be a sign of something health-related like jaundice or an infection.If you’re worried that your little one is oversleeping, it’s always a good idea to book an appointment with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes, but there are also a few telltale signs you can look out for that might indicate your baby is more than just a sleep addict.Signs y
8097our baby might be oversleeping\nDifficulty waking up. If your baby is consistently hard to rouse from sleep, especially when they’d usually wake to feed, this could be a sign that they’re sleeping more than they should be.\nLack of movement during sleep. Newborns spend around 50% of their snoozing time in active sleep, where it’s common for them to be restless and fidgety. If your baby seems too still for prolonged periods, they might be sleeping for too long.\nFussiness during wake windows. If your baby seems uncharacteristically drowsy, irritable, or disinterested in between naps, they might be sleeping too much because of an underlying condition like jaundice.\nFewer messy diapers. If your baby is sleeping so much that they’re missing their regular feeding times, you may find that you have fewer wet or dirty diapers to change. A lack of sufficient weight gain can also be an indicator of this.\nWhy is my baby oversleeping?Babies can oversleep for all sorts of reasons, and it’s not always a sign of anything untoward. Their growing bodies may require more sleep on some days than others, for example, or they may simply be worn out because they’ve had a particularly “busy” day. Of course, there can be health-related reasons for oversleeping too, and it’s important to keep an eye out for any signs or symptoms of these. Here are some of the factors that might contribute to excessive sleep:\nGrowth spurts. Babies go through several stages of rapid growth in the first year of their lives, and more rest is often required to fuel this growth.\nIllnesses and infections. Just like adults, babies who are poorly need rest to help them recover. A condition such as jaundice or a cold might make them more sleepy than normal.\nLow blood sugar. Babies who are not feeding often enough or have issues with their blood sugar levels might sleep more because they’re lacking in energy.\nMedications or vaccinations. Increased sleepiness can be a side effect of some medicines, while vaccinations can also cause babies to sleep more than normal.\nOverstimulation or exhaustion. If your baby has been overstimulated or more active than usual — perhaps they’ve had lots of visitors, for example — they may simply need more sleep because they’re pooped! \nWhat to do if your baby is oversleepingIf you think your baby is oversleeping and therefore undertired, the first thing to do is not panic: while it can be concerning, there may be a perfectly innocuous reason for them clocking up a few more Zs than normal, and it doesn’t always mean there’s an underlying health issue.Professional advice is always your best bet, but there are also a few things you can do to a) ensure your baby’s excessive sleeping isn’t affecting their development or the result of a health problem, and b) help your baby maintain a healthy sleep pattern that encompasses enough — but not too much — daytime and nighttime sleep.\nMake sure they’re feeding regularly. The most important thing is to ensure your baby isn’t sleeping through important feeding times, especially when they’re a newborn. Newborns should feed every 2-4 hours; if they’re oversleeping and missing feeds, try waking them up gently during lighter stages of sleep​.\nMonitor their weight gain. It’s important that your baby isn’t sleeping so much that they’re undernourished. Check that their weight is roughly normal for their age. If it is, there may be no cause for concern; but if they’re underweight, they may be sleeping too much and not feeding regularly enough.\nCheck for signs of illness. In some cases, oversleeping could indicate that your baby is feeling unwell. If they seem lethargic or are difficult to wake up, check for other symptoms such as a high temperature. Symptoms such as yellowy skin or eyes, dark urine, and pale-colored poo could be signs of jaundice.\n\nCreate a consistent sleep routine. Though it’s often easier said than done, setting a regular sleep schedule and trying to put your baby down at roughly the same time each night can help ensure they’re getting enough sleep at nighttime and not sleeping excessively during the day.\nLimit daytime naps. For older babies, keeping naps at a reasonable length can help ensure they don’t oversleep during the day and disrupt their nighttime slumber. Babies’ nap schedules typically shorten as they get older, and from 6 months onward you can usually limit them to just 2-3 daytime naps.\nConsult a pediatrician. If you’re at all concerned about the amount your baby is sleeping (particularly if it’s impacting their feeding or weight gain) it’s always a good idea to seek some medical advice. A pediatrician can asse
8097ss whether your little one’s sleep patterns are normal or a sign of a hidden issue.\nShould I wake my baby if they’ve overslept?It may be necessary to wake your baby if they’ve been sleeping for too long, especially if they’re a newborn and overdue a feed. Newborns tend to need feeding every 2-4 hours, and leaving them to sleep and miss a feed can hamper their growth and development — and sometimes lead to them not gaining weight quickly enough. If your baby is 3 months or older, you might consider waking them from a daytime nap if you think they’re oversleeping. Allowing extended naps during the day can disrupt their natural sleep-wake rhythms and make it more difficult for them to sleep for long stretches at night — which isn’t always that fun for your baby or for you.If you do decide to wake them, try to do so when they’re in a lighter stage of sleep. Like adults, babies go through different sleep cycles, and waking them when they’re in light (or more “active”) sleep — often characterized by slight movements, fluttering eyelids, or irregular breathing​ — will usually be less disruptive or startling.More often than not, your baby’s extra sleep is nothing for you to lose sleep over. Babies grow, develop, and heal while they rest, and sometimes they just need a little more shuteye. But if their sleep is affecting their feeding, weight gain, or they’re showing signs of illness, it’s always a good idea to seek professional advice.Remember, every baby’s sleep needs are unique and continually evolving, and finding their perfect sleep balance is a learning process for both of you. Now, it must be time for a nap…Reviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in November 2024.  ",

8120            "description":"What could be causing my baby to cry in their sleep?When you hear your baby crying during the night, it’s usually because they’ve woken themselves up and they’re telling you they’re hungry, uncomfortable, or generally in need of your attention. However, babies often make sounds during their sleep too, and may whimper or cry without waking up at all. But why does this happen?Well, there are a few possible reasons for your baby crying in their sleep:They’re transitioning between sleep cyclesBabies’ sleep cycles are typically much shorter (and lighter) than adults’, and they also include a higher percentage of “active” sleep — which we refer to as REM sleep in adults. During this sleep stage, it’s not unusual for them to appear restless, and they’ll often wriggle, twitch, jerk, or even pull faces.It’s also normal for them to make sounds during active sleep, which can include gurgling, cooing, whimpering and — you guessed it — crying. These 
8120cries will usually be mild and short-lived, and will typically subside when they move from the active to the quiet sleep stage, where they settle into a deeper slumber.They’re uncomfortable or in painIf your baby feels uncomfortable or is experiencing any kind of pain during the night, this can manifest as crying — sometimes even when they’re still asleep. Discomfort might be caused by factors such as a wet diaper, tight clothing, an awkward sleeping position, or because the temperature in their room is too hot or too cold. Pain from teething can also cause babies to cry in their sleep, though it can also lead to temporary sleep disturbances where they struggle to settle or wake frequently. Another cause of “sleep crying” might be gas or reflux, which can lead to mild pain or discomfort.They’re hungryOf course, when a baby is hungry during the night, they’ll normally wake up and let you know they’re due a feed by crying out. Sometimes, however, as hunger strikes and their bodies are trying to communicate that they need food, they may even begin whimpering or crying before they wake up.You can feed a baby while they’re still asleep — a practice known as “dream feeding”. While not all babies will respond well to this method (and it’s important to keep them in an upright position to avoid the risk of choking), by gently offering a bottle or a breast before they wake naturally, they may sleep for longer stretches without crying or waking.They’re experiencing an involuntary reflexNewborn babies exhibit something called the Moro reflex (also called the “startle reflex”), an involuntary movement where they suddenly throw up their arms and legs or jerk their head backwards, usually in response to sudden movements or loud noises.Particularly when they’re in a lighter, more active sleep state and more responsive to external stimuli, your baby might experience the Moro reflex while sleeping, which may cause them to let out an involuntary cry as well as twitching or jerking.They’re having a bad dreamWhile science hasn’t yet got to the bottom of whether babies dream — and if they do, when they start dreaming and what they dream about — there are some suggestions that children as young as 18 months may experience night terrors.However, this is thought to be very uncommon (night terrors usually occur in children aged 4 or older), so while it may explain why your toddler is crying in their sleep, it’s more likely to be caused by something other than a scary dream.They’re just being a babySometimes, babies cry in their sleep simply because, well, it’s a natural part of being a baby. They go through some pretty huge physical, emotional, and neurological changes — which anyone would find overwhelming — and crying is their main way of releasing pent-up energy, processing emotions, or signaling for comfort, even during sleep. Because their sleep patterns are not fully established and they’ll spend a lot of time in light, active sleep, whimpering and crying can happen as part of their normal sleep cycle. Besides, they don’t always need a specific reason for a cry — sometimes they’re just “working through” the natural rhythms of their growth and development. Is it normal for babies to cry while they’re sleeping?It’s certainly not unusual for babies to cry while they’re asleep, particularly when they’re newborn. Since they typically spend about half of their snoozing time in an active sleep state, it’s common for them to appear restless while sleeping — twitching, wriggling, squirming, breathing erratically, and yes, crying.When should I be concerned about my baby crying during sleep?There’s usually no reason to be unduly concerned if your baby occasionally cries in their sleep, as it’s often explained away by something quite harmless. However, there may be situations where your baby is crying because they’re uncomfortable, in pain, or feeling unwell, so you should keep an eye out for signs of this.In these scenarios, for example, sleep crying might indicate something a little more serious: \nThey’re crying for long periods. If your baby cries occasionally during sleep but usually settles quickly, there’s probably little reason to worry. But if their cries are more persistent, this might indicate they’re uncomfortable or in pain.\nThey have symptoms of illness. If your baby is crying in their sleep but also has a high temperature, a rash, diarrhea, or anything else that might indicate they’re poorly, it’s best to contact your doctor.\nTheir sleep patterns suddenly change. If you notice a dramatic change in your baby’s sleep behavior — perhaps they’re more resistant to sleep or more frequently waking — this may suggest an underlying issue.\nThey’re arching their back. Babies arch their back for many reasons, but if they do so while crying in their sleep, it might be because they have gas, reflux, or an upset stomach and it’s making them feel uncomfortable. \nShould I wake my baby if they are crying during sleep?When your baby cries without fully waking up, it’s usually best to simply wait and observe for a little while. If they let out a few little cries but soon settle down, it’s likely because they’re in a more active sleep state, where it’s normal for them to be restless and occasionally quite vocal. Intervening too quickly might disturb the
8120ir natural sleep cycle and make it harder for them to settle back down, so don’t feel the need to rush over and comfort them straight away.However, if their cries escalate or are accompanied by signs of discomfort — perhaps they have a wet diaper or seem a little hot and bothered — you should try to resolve whatever appears to be troubling them, ideally while trying not to fully wake them.If your baby continues crying intensely, seems distressed, or you suspect they might be in pain, gently waking them to check for potential issues (hunger or illness, for example) may be the best approach. How can I soothe my baby if they’re crying in their sleep?Firstly, it’s important to remember that a baby crying in their sleep is usually no cause for concern, and provided there’s no sign of an underlying issue such as illness or discomfort, they’ll often settle back down on their own without waking or requiring your intervention. However, if their cries are more intense or persistent, check for signs of discomfort. Do they have a wet diaper? Are their hands cold? Are they a little sweaty? Have they wriggled into an awkward sleeping position? In any of these cases, try to gently resolve the issue without waking them if you can.Next, look for symptoms of illness. Do they have an unusually high temperature? Are there any changes to their skin — is it mottled or paler than normal? Do they have a rash? Are they frequently coughing? If they display any signs of illness alongside their crying and they’re difficult to soothe, it’s best to check their symptoms with a pediatrician.If they don’t appear poorly or uncomfortable but they’re still persistently crying in their sleep, you can use gentle touches to reassure them you’re there without waking them — by lightly placing your hand on their chest or back, for example. You can also make soft sounds — through soothing music, white noise, or simply your own voice — to create a more calming environment.Of course, there’s a stark difference between a light whimper and an emphatic wail, but you know your baby better than anyone — and you’ll usually be able to tell when they’re letting out the occasional weep during a slightly restless sleep stage and when they’re properly crying because they’re uncomfortable or in pain. If you’re unsure, you should never be afraid to pick them up for a cuddle.It’s perfectly natural for babies to make sounds in their sleep — check out our guide to baby sleep sounds and what they mean — and crying is often one of them. It’s usually nothing to worry about, but if their sleep-contained snivels become more intense or persistent, it’s best to check there’s nothing making them feel uncomfortable or in pain.",
