Here’s a sleep truth: Up to 40.3% of infants aged 4–11 months are not getting the 12+ hours of sleep recommended for their age. That’s nearly half of our little sleepers getting short-changed on rest. Sleep fuels healthy brain development, emotional regulation, and growth. Chronic short sleep can affect learning, behavior, and even future health. Anchor a gentle bedtime routine (think reading + dim lights). Keep cues consistent so the baby knows it’s sleep time. Protect naps — they count toward total sleep goals. Create a calm, low-stimulation sleep space. You’re not just helping baby sleep — you’re building healthy habits that last a lifetime.
