Tips for better sleep

  • Consistent bedtime matters more than the exact clock time — pick one and hold it within a 30-minute window.
  • Watch wake windows, not the clock. An overtired baby fights sleep hardest.
  • Dim lights and drop voices 20 minutes before bed to cue melatonin release.
  • Every baby is different. If sleep is consistently off-pattern, check in with your pediatrician.
