My baby doesn't settle and struggles to stay asleep

Trying to figure out why your baby won’t settle and stay asleep can be a long and frustrating process, but with the right strategies and a bit of perseverance, you can find a solution that works for you and your baby. With the right approach, you can finally get your baby to sleep through the night and have everyone in the house feeling well-rested and happy.

As a sleep consultant, I understand how challenging it can be when your baby struggles to settle and stay asleep at night. Parents can feel helpless and exhausted when trying to figure out how to get their baby to sleep, and it can be difficult to know when and how to intervene.

I understand...

Fortunately, there are ways to help babies and toddlers get better sleep at night. One of the best first steps is to make sure the sleep environment is conducive to sleep. This includes making sure the room is dark, quiet and the temperature is comfortable. In addition, it is important to establish a consistent bedtime routine that helps the child wind down and relax before bed.

There are gentle ways of achieving better sleep

It is also important to realize that sleep is a learned behaviour that can be cultivated over time. Establishing healthy sleep habits can help babies and young children transition from night wakings to sleeping through the night. This includes teaching them how to self-soothe and reinforcing positive sleep behaviours.

Sleep is a learned behaviour

Finally, it is important to remember that patience and consistency are key. It may take several weeks or even months for babies and children to learn healthy sleep habits and progress may not be seen overnight. However, with some guidance and support, parents can make a big difference in the quality of their baby’s sleep.

Patience and consistency are key

If you’re finding it hard to get your baby settling and sleeping in the night and are feeling overwhelmed and exasperated, consider seeking the help of a sleep consultant. A sleep consultant can help you identify any underlying sleep issues and provide you with gentle and proactive strategies to help your baby sleep better and longer.
