Every parent knows that the key to a happy household is a good night's sleep and that's why we're thrilled to introduce you to the Hushh+ Sound Machine and Nightlight. Back in my baby days I used to use an old iPad, things sure have advanced since then! Before we dive into the details of this fantastic sleep aid, let's explore some invaluable baby sleep tips that will set the stage for peaceful and restful slumbers.
Understanding Awake Times
New parents often find themselves navigating the uncharted waters of baby awake times. A newborn's daytime wake/sleep cycle is typically 45 to 60 minutes, including feeding and burping. Around the 6-week mark, your baby may extend awake times to approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, giving you more bonding opportunities.
Embracing Newborn Sleep Patterns
Babies have their unique sleep patterns, and it's essential to set realistic expectations. Newborns sleep in roughly 2-3 hour stretches, with sleep cycles lasting around 40 minutes. They may wake, grizzle, or cry between cycles. Establishing a bedtime routine can be a game-changer:
- Establish a Pattern: Develop a consistent bedtime routine, such as dinner, bath, pajamas, teeth, book, song, cuddles, and lights out.
- Wind Down Before Bed: Engage in calming activities during the wind-down period to avoid post-dinner energy bursts.
- Make Bedtime Fun: Create a special bedtime atmosphere without overstimulating your little one. Let them choose a book or a song.
- Be Consistent: Maintain consistent nap and bedtime schedules. Consistency promotes good sleep.
- Give 20-Second Hugs: Long hugs release oxytocin, the bonding hormone, and can help calm your child. Try incorporating 20-second hugs into your routine.
