It can be really hard to get your baby to sleep Getting your baby to sleep is one of the most challenging aspects of parenthood, but there are things you can do to help. Here, a baby sleep expert has shared some ‘magic’ advice Your newborn has been awake for hours, rubbing their eyes, and yawning – but they just won’t go to sleep Newborns settle and sleep much more easily if they adhere to the awake windows. A baby’s awake window can be the biggest magic ingredient when it comes to improving sleep. your baby’s awake window is one hour and 30 minutes, adding on 15 minutes or so for every month until they are one. Just knowing this will improve both how easily they settle and also, how long they sleep if you try to put your baby down for sleep much later than their awake window, you might find they are harder to settle to sleep if you stick to their awake window – give or take – depending on poonamis and feeding (feeding is much more important than sleep in those early months), that will aid their sleep and help them and you to sleep better.
