How Can I Get My Baby to Sleep?

You baby keeping you up all night? You’re not alone! Check out these sleep tips that can help your baby (and you) get a better night’s rest.

Stick to a Cosy, Consistent Bedtime Routine
Babies thrive on routine, and that includes bedtime. Whether it’s a bath, story time or listening to the same lullaby on repeat, doing the same things in the same order every night helps your little one feel secure and ready to sleep.

2. Check the Basics: Clean Nappy and Full Tummy
Remember to double-check that your baby has a clean nappy and a satisfied tummy. A comfy, well-fed baby is more likely to drift off peacefully.

3. Keep Extra Dummies Close at Hand
If your baby uses a dummy, keep a few spares near the crib. When they wake up in the middle of the night (and they will!), it’ll be easy to pop one in and help them settle back down.

4. Soothe with Calming Sounds
Try some gentle music or sing a calming lullaby. Familiar sounds can help signal to your baby that it’s time for sleep, creating a peaceful sleep environment.

5. Wind Down Before Bed
The last hour or two before bedtime should be a winding-down period. Avoid too much stimulation and instead enjoy some quiet playtime or reading. This helps your baby transition from daytime energy to night-time relaxation.

6. Rock and Carry Your Baby in a Baby Carrier
A baby carrier isn’t just for daytime walks. Carrying your baby close to you before bed can provide the comfort and gentle rocking they need to relax and fall asleep more easily. Remember that babies should always sleep on their back in a crib, so gently place your child in the crib while drowsy but not fully asleep. Did you know that the buckles on our carriers are designed to close securely with a click but open silently? That way you won’t disturb your baby when you have to gently place them in their crib.
