If you understand this, then you can see that teaching your baby how to sleep is possible.
Sleep begets sleep
Crib And Changer
The more baby sleeps the more baby will sleep!
This very sound piece of advice was given to me not long after my firstborn arrived. A very wise woman explained to me that little babies very quickly suffer from fatigue induced anxiety caused by being overtired.
She suggested that I should think clearly about how being over tired manifests for me. Easy! I was exhausted and this meant huge trouble relaxing enough to let go and fall asleep.
Yes, she said to me - just like your tiny baby when she is kept awake for too long.
This was like a revelation to me and together we watched my little one to detect her sleeping patterns. It soon became clear that being awake for an hour and a half was about her limit. I would feed her, change her, and place her on a rug for bare bottom time, followed by some tummy time to strengthen her. After some quiet loving play together, she would begin to show tired signs such as screwing her face up, making fists of her hands, little grizzling sounds, becoming more restless. Then I would swaddle her firmly and place her in her crib for her next sleep.
This became our baby sleep schedule with her awake periods becoming longer as she grew. The more she slept, the more she slept, which meant the more I could too!
Sleep begets sleep helped me to change my attitude toward baby sleep habits.
Consistent baby sleep habits
Teaching your baby to sleep is also about maintaining a consistent routine or schedule. Parents and babies move around today with much more ease because of movable baby car seats such as cocoons, and because of expectations among other parents. This makes it far more difficult to schedule regular sleeping times when your baby sleeps in the crib or cot.
Frequently, babies have their sleep times while driving in the car between activities. Babies become accustomed to being lulled to sleep through the noise and movement, and learn to need that rather than learning to settle themselves in their beds. Sleeping in the car also encourages short, or spasmodic sleeping periods.
A baby sleep schedule which schedules some solid at home time in your daily activities will encourage a more consistent routine of sleeping for your baby.
