Ok, maybe they donât actually say that, but they should! Breastfeeding and pumping can take a toll on our breasts and nipples â especially if youâre doing it up to 15 times a day â which is why itâs so important to give yourself as much attention as you give your little one. Because they actually do say happy mom, happy baby. \nWhile time for yourself (even if thatâs just a solo pee) and meeting friends are important for your mental health, itâs also important to look after your nipple health. Welcome to a whole new world of self-care.\nRead on to understand why sore nipples happen, how to avoid this problem, and how to treat them so you can experience less pain and discomfort while breastfeeding. \nWhat causes pumping nipple pain?\nWhen youâre new to breast pumping, there are a number of factors that might cause nipple soreness. These arenât typically cause for too much concern, and can usually be treated easily. Reasons for nipple pain during or after pumping might include: \n\n\nEngorgement. Breast engorgement is when the breasts become overly full, and it causes the whole breast or chest to feel sore and swollen. That feeling may extend to the areola or nipple. Frequent feeding can help reduce engorgement, while ice packs after a feed may also help relieve sore nipples.\n\n\nNipple injuries. Cracked, chafed, or split nipples can be sore and painful during pumping and they often are sore and uncomfortable afterward. In addition, cracked nipples can lead to breast infection because you have an open wound where bacteria can get in. Cracked nipples are often a result of poor latch or tongue tie and should immediately be addressed.\n\n\nMilk blisters. Milk blisters (also called milk blebs) occur when the skin on your nipple closes over a milk duct, or the duct becomes blocked with hardened breast milk. They are small raised bumps on the nipple that may feel hard to the touch, and are usually white or yellow in color. They may be inflamed. Milk blisters may be caused by a bad latch, oversupply, engorgement, or an ill-fitting bra or breast pump. They can usually be treated by softening the skin using a warm compress. They can look similar to spots caused by thrush, which is a fungal infection and will require treatment.\n\n\nNipple vasospasms. Sometimes called mammary constriction syndrome, nipple vasospasms cause a sudden narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the nipple. This may cause soreness, itching, or increased nipple sensitivity to cold temperatures. The nipples may also appear white or blue in color. A lactation consultant to help address a poor latch is critical If you are experiencing severe vasospasms. You can treat mild vasospasms by limiting nipple exposure to air or cold, applying a warm compress; more significant vasospasm may require over the counter or prescribed medications or supplements. \n\n\nShort, flat or inverted nipples. Some people with these types of nipples will experience more soreness or pain in the early weeks of nursing or pumping due to the greater pressure applied to the areola and nipple. In this case, using a hospital-grade pump and nipple shield can provide more comfort and make pumping less painful.\n\n\nA pump shield that doesn't fit correctly. Breast pumps come with a selection of shield (flange) sizes. If a pump shield is too small, your nipple may rub along the side of the shield, causing soreness, burning or discomfort while you pump.\n\n\nPump suction which is too high. Electric breast pumps typically include a number of suction settings; if the pump suction is set too high, you may feel soreness or pain in your breast, nipples or both.\n\n\nIf youâre experiencing persistent pain when breast pumping and youâre unable to identify the root cause, you should make an appointment with your doctor or lactation consultant. \nIs nipple pain while pumping normal?\nWhile itâs not uncommon to experience a little breast pain or nipple soreness when you first start pumping â as your body gets used to the sensation and you try to find the most comfortable position â using a breast pump shouldnât be painful. If youâre experiencing pain during or after pumping, thatâs generally a sign that something isnât quite right.\nFortunately, making a few simple adju
7283stments should minimize nipple pain when pumping â for example, checking you have the right size breast shield, reducing the intensity of the pumpâs suction, and adopting a nipple aftercare routine. If pain persists, donât be afraid to ask for help: a lactation consultant will be able to guide you on the best ways to avoid continuous pain. \nWhat are the most common nipple issues caused by pumping?\nWhen you're pumping daily â particularly when combining pumping with nursing â this can take its toll on your nipples, if done incorrectly. The most common nipple-related issues caused by pumping include:\n\n\nSore nipples from pumping: If your nipples are sore during or after pumping, it may be that the pump shield doesnât fit correctly or you have the suction set too high.\n\n\nCracked nipples from pumping: Pumping can sometimes cause your nipples to dry out, which over time can lead to cracking. Try to keep them moisturized before and after pumping using a balm. \n\n\nWhite nipples after pumping: Nipple blanching occurs when the nipples appear white and misshapen, which could be a sign of nipple vasospasms. \n\n\nItchy nipples after pumping: If your nipples tend to itch during or after pumping, this could be down to irritated skin. Itching can also be a sign of thrush or mastitis; if symptoms persist, it's always worth speaking to your doctor.\n\n\nNipples bleeding from pumping: If you notice a little blood around the areola or nipple while pumping, this might be a sign of nipple damage or broken capillaries. If this persists, you should see your doctor. \n\n\nNipples swollen after pumping: A bit of swelling during pumping is not uncommon, but if this persists for more than a few minutes following a pumping session, itâs probably due to an incorrectly-sized shield. \n\n\nBruised nipples from pumping: If you notice bruising around the nipples, this may be because you have the suction set too high, or that your breast shield is incorrectly positioned or the wrong size. \n\n\nCan I pump with sore nipples?\nYes, it is generally safe to breastfeed or pump with sore nipples as long as you can tolerate it, but breastfeeding and\/or pumping should not fundamentally hurt. Painful or uncomfortable feeding or pumping is usually a sign that something isnât right, and may even lead to further problems down the line. \nThe degree of soreness or discomfort will determine whether you need to make some significant adjustments to keep going. Severe or persistent soreness, pain and discomfort should not be left unaddressed, and you should speak to your doctor or a lactation consultant if youâre really struggling.\nHow to prevent pumping nipple pain\nYour nipples shouldnât hurt while you pump, and if they do, thereâs usually a simple explanation. If youâre experiencing nipple pain during or following a pumping session, there are a number of things you can do to treat sore nipples and prevent pain, irritation or discomfort.\nCheck your shield size and positioning\nYour nipple should be centered in what is called the âtunnelâ and the nipples should not be rubbing inside of the flanges. If they are, they may become chafed and sore. Each pump comes with a range of breast shield sizes: you can find your ideal size using Elvieâs nipple sizing tool. \nIf our flange sizes don't fit, you can use our soft, silicone nipple cushions. These are designed for moms with small nipples, and will eliminate chafing and soreness from a flange that's the wrong size. Choose from three sizes of nipple cushion.\nCheck your suction settings\nIf youâre experiencing breast pain or discomfort while using an electric breast pump, itâs possible that youâve set the suction levels too high. Try turning down the suction level, ensuring it feels comfortable and setting it only as strong as the level of suction which works to remove milk from your body.\nUse a hospital-grade breast pump\nParticularly if you have short, flat or inverted nipples, using a hospital-grade breast pump such as Elvie Stride can increase comfort and reduce pain while you pump. Elvie Str
7283ide includes 2 modes and 10 intensity settings, enabling you to find a suction setting which is powerful enough yet comfortable. \nTry reverse pressure softening\nReverse pressure softening is a technique which involves using the hands to move the fluid in your breasts backward and stimulate milk flow to make expression easier. It helps to relieve pressure and swelling caused by engorgement, which may cause soreness in the nipples. \nApply a warm compress before and try a cold compress after\nBefore pumping, try applying a warm compress to the breast for a short while. This will help trigger the milk ejection reflex and increase comfort when you pump. When youâre finished, a cold compress such as an ice pack can be soothing and reduce inflammation and ease any soreness.\nLubricate before pumping\nYou can reduce the likelihood of feeling soreness or discomfort while pumping by lubricating the nipple area before you pump. Coconut oil has natural moisturizing properties, and applying a small amount to the nipple beforehand can ease irritation and make for a smoother pumping experience. \nApply a little expressed breast milk\nBreast milk contains natural antibacterial properties, so rubbing some of your expressed breast milk into the nipples after pumping can help to soothe sore nipples and reduce pain from pumping. \nKeep your nipples clean\nIt might sound obvious but nipple hygiene is an important part of ensuring pain-free and comfortable pumping. When you have a little one to look after, self-care can fall by the wayside, but a few simple steps will help keep your nipples clean and healthy. \nHow to clean your nipples:\n\n\nKeep your hands clean. Always wash your hands or use sanitizer before touching your breasts. This will prevent you transferring any unwanted bacteria from your hands to your nipples. \n\n\nAvoid using soap on your nipples. Your nipples produce natural oils. Household soaps and shower gels can remove these natural oils and cause the skin to become dry or irritated. Instead, wash your nipples using warm water only when in the bath or shower. \n\n\nGently towel-dry or air dry your nipples. When you get out of the bath or shower, dab them gently with a towel or allow them to air-dry. Avoid rubbing them too hard with a towel, as this may cause irritation or soreness. \n\n\nClean your equipment after each pump. Itâs important to thoroughly wash each component of your breast pump after each session to avoid bacteria building up and potentially causing infection.  \n\n\nHow to care for your nipples after pumping\nWhen it comes to reducing nipple pain, aftercare is key. If youâre looking after your breasts and your nipples once youâre done pumping, this can help them recover quicker and feel a lot more comfortable each time you pump. \n\n\nWear a support bra or nursing bra. Using the right bra will allow your skin to breathe and prevent irritation. It will also give extra support to engorged breasts that may be heavier than usual.\n\n\n\n\nUse a nipple cream or balm. Cracked or itchy nipples from pumping arenât fun. However, nipple balms and creams can help the skin heal quicker so your pumping sessions arenât as painful. However, nipple cream or balm alone will not fix the root cause of the symptoms. Be sure to see a lactation consultant to solve your pumping issues.\n\n\nApply a warm or cold compress. Pumping can put a lot of pressure on the breasts, but applying a warm or cold compress to the nipple and areola after pumping can reduce inflammation or soreness. \n\n\nChange your breast pads regularly. If youâre using breast pads to soak up any leaking milk, make sure to change these regularly to prevent irritation and bacteria from growing. Alternatively, use a collection cup-like Elvie Catch thatâs designed for the natural shape of a womanâs breast and can be worn comfortably for up to three hours. \n\n\nYour nipples will thank you for it\nTaking care of your breasts while pumping is pretty simple and not too time-consuming, but it can really make the difference and make sure you and your nipples are as happy as your baby is. So keep things clean, ensure your breast pump feels comfortable, take good care of your nipples before and after pumping, and youâll be in for a smooth ride (well, as smooth as motherhood can ever be).\nAll of the information above was supervised by Jada Shapiro on 28\/3\/23.

7304 System Works", 7305 "name":"Positive Parenting as a First-Time Mom: How the âTriple Pâ System Works", 7306 "description":"Raising a child is the ultimate responsibility, and as we all know, the earliest childhood experiences â and learned habits â have a huge impact on adult life. But as a first-time mom, sifting through the endless advice, opinions, and expectations can leave you feeling uncertain about your approach to parenting. If youâve done any amount of research into parenting techniques, youâve probably come across the term âpositive parentingâ, or you may even have heard about the âTriple Pâ method â but what do these approaches involve? What is positive parenting?Rather than focusing on strict rules or punishments â which, letâs face it, can often cause more distress than anything else â positive parenting encourages a supportive, nurturing environment. At its core, positive parenting promotes the idea that as parents, we should focus on good rather than bad behavior. Now donât get us wrong, this can be tricky â weâre practically hardwired to fixate on the behavioral elements weâd like to correct or resolve, but research shows that a greater emphasis on highlighting and rewarding a childâs strengths can provide huge benefits in both the short and long-term. But what counts as a strength?When it comes to babies, youâre not dealing with temper tantrums or defiance just yet â youâve still got that to look forward to â but that doesnât mean your baby isnât learning and developing new skills every day. In fact, the first year sets the foundations for some of the most important aspects of your babyâs personality, including emotional security, trust, and parental connection. For example, letâs say your baby cries in the middle of the night â as they often do. While it might be tempting to feel frustrated (especially at 3am), positive parenting views this as an opportunity to build trust. By responding calmly and consistently, whether with a soothing voice or a gentle cuddle, youâre teaching your baby that their needs will be met, which helps them develop a sense of security and attachment.Research shows that the bond formed with your baby during these early months lays the groundwork for how theyâll approach relationships, process emotions, and even solve problems as they grow older. What is the âTriple Pâ system?The âTriple P Systemâ, or Positive Parenting Program, is a framework based around the central idea of positive parenting â but itâs not about telling you how to parent, as much as it is giving you the tools and strategies you need to parent positively.The Triple P system was developed by Professor Matthew R. Sanders and his team in 2001, at the University of Queensland, Australia.Initially, the system began as a small, home-based programme designed to support parents of disruptive toddlers, but over time, evolved into a comprehensive, all-encompassing parenting approach. Nowadays, the techniques are used across a wide range of ages, from newborns, right up to tweens and teens. The system is widely known as one of the most effective and evidence-backed parenting frameworks in the world, and has been translated into 22 languages and used in 28 countries by more than 76,000 accredited practitioners. The principles of the Triple P systemThere are five key principles forming the basis of the Triple P system. These are:1. Providing a safe, interesting environmentPerhaps the most important of the 5 principles, providing your little one with a safe, stimulating environment means your baby will feel secure to explore, play, and learn once theyâre old enough to leave the crib. Itâs not just about baby-proofing your home, though â emotional safety matters too. Your baby needs to know theyâre in a secure and loving environment.2. Having a positive learning environmentBabies and children learn best when they feel supported, and as a parent, you play a huge role in shaping how they approach challenges. Triple P focuses on positive reinfor
7306cement â praising effort, celebrating milestones, and offering encouragement even in the face of setbacks. Once your child begins to explore through play, a little bit of praise can go a long way.3. Using assertive disciplineWhile we all lose our cool sometimes, assertive discipline doesnât mean being harsh or yelling. Itâs about setting clear rules and being consistent with them. This tenet is more applicable to toddlers and older children, but itâs well worth keeping in mind for the future.Letâs say your little one keeps grabbing things off the table after youâve asked them not to. Instead of getting frustrated (easier said than done, we know), calmly take the item away and explain why. Consistency is key â if you let it slide sometimes and not others, theyâll get confused. 4. Setting realistic expectationsWhen youâre dealing with tantrums or sleepless nights, itâs easy to think, âWhy isnât my child behaving like so-and-soâs kid?â or, âI should have this figured out by now.â But every child is different. Sleepless nights, for example, are par for the course in the early days, and tantrums are a normal part of toddler-dom. Most of the time, these issues arenât anything to do with your parenting approach; theyâre simply developmental milestones. As a mom, youâre not supposed (or expected) to have all the answers, and the Triple P system acknowledges this. 5. Taking care of yourself as a parentHereâs a principle that gets overlooked way too often â you matter too! When youâre running on empty, itâs impossible to be the parent you want to be. Thatâs why taking care of yourself is crucial.Whether itâs sneaking in a quick nap, enjoying a cup of coffee while itâs still hot, or asking your partner to take over for a bit so you can get some fresh air, self-care looks different for everyone. Maybe itâs an extra five minutes in the shower, catching up with a friend, or finding time to exercise. Whatever it is, donât feel guilty about it. When you feel good, it shows â and your kids pick up on that. A happier, less-stressed mom means a happier home.How does the Triple P system work?Triple P isnât like a traditional course with one set route; instead, itâs easier to think of it as a toolbox, filled with practical strategies designed to give you everything you need to tackle some of the hardest parts of the parenting journey.You absolutely donât need to sign up for a course to start using these techniques with your baby. Many of the ideas behind positive parenting are intuitive and based on best practices â things like being responsive to your babyâs needs, creating a calm environment, and building routines. You might already be doing a lot of this without even realizing it!If youâre interested in exploring the program, though, Triple P offers various levels of support, ranging from online resources and group workshops to one-on-one sessions with a parenting coach. This can be really helpful if you want more personalized guidance or are facing specific challenges that youâre not sure how to handle on your own.Positive parenting for babiesThe first year of life is the very definition of sensory overload. Your baby is being bombarded with new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, sensations, and emotions, so a little bit of fussiness or crying is to be expected. What really matters is how you handle your babyâs behaviors, and this is where positive parenting can help.Remember: at this stage, itâs less about discipline and more about responding to your babyâs cues in ways that build trust and security.Here are some of the key principles from Triple P that you can start using right now:Try to empathizeA newborn baby canât tell you what they need with words, so itâs all about tuning in to their cues. Every cry, coo, or movement is a way for them to communicate with you. One of the most important things you can do as a first-time mom is to try to see the world from your babyâs perspective.When your baby is fussing, itâs not because theyâre being difficult. Maybe theyâre tired, hungry, overstimulated, or just need a cuddle. By slowing down and asking yourself, âWhat is my baby trying to tell me?â, youâll start to recognize the patterns in their behavior. The more you do this, the more attuned youâll become to their emotional and physical needs, which builds that all-important sense of trust between you and your baby.Encourage explorationBabies learn through play, and one of the best ways to play with your child is through exploration. Follow their lead and look for clues â are their eyes drawn to a colorful throw? Perhaps theyâve got a strange obsession with the rubbery buttons on the TV remote. Whatever theyâre fascinated by, use it as an opportunity to engage with them and show them that youâre keen to share in their discoveries. Itâs not just about introducing your little one to new objects or places, either â new sensations count as exploration too! Simple activities like tummy time or gentle tickling can help them build their motor skills and support cognitive development. Give positive reinfor
7306cementNow, when we talk about positive reinforcement for babies, itâs not about gold star stickers and reward charts (again, this will come later). Instead, itâs about responding to your babyâs needs; smiling back when they smile, soothing them when they cry, or providing stimulation when theyâre feeling curious â all of which will reassure them that youâre present, and theyâre safe.All of these tiny moments might feel insignificant, but in the scheme of things, theyâre actually incredibly impactful and lay the foundation for how theyâll interact with the world in later life. Be patient with yourselfFinally, we canât stress this enough â be kind to yourself! Youâre not going to get it right 100% of the time, and thatâs OK. No one does. Some days youâll feel like youâve nailed it, and others you might feel like youâre barely holding it together. Babies are unpredictable, and just when you think youâve figured something out, theyâll throw you a curveball (hello, sleep regression).But the good news is, positive parenting isnât about being perfect. Itâs about being present and doing your best to respond with love, empathy, and patience â for both your baby and yourself.So, whether your baby is cooing, crying, or just staring up at you with those big, curious eyes, know that each moment is an opportunity to connect, build trust, and lay the foundation for a strong, loving relationship.

The Journey to Becoming a Mother", 7329 "description":"We love to romanticize the idea of the âsupermomâ â the non-cape-wearing heroine who can effortlessly juggle the demands of childcare with just about anything else life throws at her.\n \nBut while some new moms do seemingly take to parenthood more naturally than others, the reality for most is that adapting to life as a mom is a marathon, not a Wonder Woman-style sprint â the journey to motherhood is paved with profound physical, psychological, and emotional challenges.\n \nThis journey is referred to as matrescence: a term that was coined almost half-a-decade ago but is still relatively little understood as a concept â type the word into any word processor and itâll likely be underlined in red as an assumed misspelling, highlighting societyâs sluggishness at catching on to this critical stage in many womenâs lives.\nBut just what is matrescence? What does it involve? And how does it impact the women who go through it? In this guide, we explore the concept of matrescence in detail, highlighting its different stages and offering advice for navigating the transition from mom-to-be to mom.\nMatrescence definition: what does matrescence mean?\nMatrescence describes the process of becoming a mother, encompassing the physical, psychological, social, and emotional changes that shape the journey to motherhood. When a woman gives b
7329irth â or becomes a mother through adoption or surrogacy â she experiences profound changes that can impact her body, her identity, and her relationships.\n \nAccording to Aurelie Athan, a clinical psychologist who lectures in Reproductive Psychology, matrescence is âa developmental passage where a woman transitions through pre-conception, pregnancy and birth, surrogacy or adoption, to the postnatal period and beyond,â which can be likened to the developmental push of adolescence.\n \nMatrescence can have an impact on many aspects of a womanâs life. Hormonal changes can affect mood and energy levels, for example, while new mothers often experience a reconfiguration of their identities. But there are also emotional fluctuations, societal pressures, and even relationship changes to grapple with.\nWhy is it called matrescence?\nMost of us are familiar with the term âadolescenceâ, the period of life when a child transitions to adulthood. Just as this key developmental stage is characterized by dramatic hormonal and psychological shifts, the journey to motherhood involves not only a physical transformation but often an emotional one, too â which can even impact a womanâs sense of self.\n \nBut while adolescence has been studied since the early 1900s, it wasnât until the mid-1970s that anthropologist Dana Raphael coined the adjacent term âmatrescenceâ to describe the equally transformative experience of becoming a mother. She saw this process as a ârite of passageâ that had been overlooked in scientific research and discussions around motherhood.\n \nRaphael believed that, âGiving birth does not automatically make a mother out of a woman,â stressing that the transition to motherhood was not simply a biological process but encompassed social, cultural, and even political factors â particularly when considering the differing attitudes towards motherhood and childcare across cultures.\nWhy is it important that we acknowledge matrescence?\nAs Lucy Jones, author of the book Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood, underlines, âAfter childhood and adolescence, there is no other time in an adult humanâs life course which entails such dramatic psychological, social, and physical change.â\n \nUnderstanding that matrescence is a process much like adolescence helps us appreciate, as individuals and as a society, that adapting to motherhood doesnât happen overnight but is often a prolonged and challenging phase of a womanâs life. It also helps us avoid making unrealistic assumptions that women are simply âbuiltâ for motherhood.\n \nOf course, motherhood is often a blissful and rewarding experience, but if we donât acknowledge the emotional and psychological challenges new mothers face, we risk alienating those who feel overwhelmed or inadequate. By naming and acknowledging matrescence as a concept, we validate the experiences of all mothers.\nWhat happens during matrescence?\nSince no two women experience matrescence in exactly the same way, itâs important to understand that thereâs no âtypicalâ journey to becoming a mother. However, matrescence is often characterized by a series of deeply felt transformations that shape a womanâs biological, psychological, and emotional makeup.\n \n\n\nBiological shifts. Hormones such as estrogen, prolactin, and oxytocin fluctuate during and after pregnancy. These shifts are crucial for adapting to caregiving and bonding, but they can also dramatically affect a womanâs mood and energy levels.\n\n\nPhysical recovery. A womanâs body goes through a lot during childbirth, and the early stages of motherhood involve a period of recovery. This can include recovering from vaginal tears, cesarean healing (if the mother has had a C-section), and uterine involution (where the uterus shrinks back to its original size).\n\n\nPsychological changes. Motherhood often forces a woman to reevaluate her personal identity and sense of self. Reconciling the pre-motherhood self with a new maternal role can be both challenging and disorienting.\n\n\nEmotional variances. New mothers often experience complex and changeable emotions, with moods fluctuating between joy, sadness, frustration, and more. Around 80% of new moms will have the âbaby bluesâ, while roughly 1 in 7 experience postpartum depression.\n\n\nNeurological transformations. The brain adapts to the new priorities and demands of motherhood, often enhancing âmaternalâ instincts. These neural adaptations help new mothers become attuned to their babyâs needs and support the bonding process between mom and baby.\n\n\nChanges in relationships. Relationships with partners, family, and friends often evolve during matrescence. New moms may face changes in intimacy with their partner, for instance, as they balance caregiving with their role in the relationship.\n\n\nSocial pressures. Motherhood often comes with external pressures to conform to societal ideals of the âperfect parentâ, and these unrealistic expectations can often lead to a woman feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or inadequate.\n\n\nHow long does matrescence last?\nWhile the impact of matrescence may feel more intense in the first year following childbirth, thereâs no specific, fixed timeline since everyoneâs experience is unique. It may last for months, years, or even a lifetime.\n \nIndeed, many experts believe that matrescence is a lifelong process, with a motherâs maternal identity in constant evolution as their child moves through life stages such as infancy, toddlerhood, and adolescence before eventually gaining independence.\n \nEach stage of a childâs life brings new experiences and challenges that can reshape a motherâs maternal identity, with moms having to continually adapt to the emotional and social demands of parenthood â often even as their children become adults themselves.\nDoes matrescence happen during adoption and surrogacy?\nYes. While it might manifest itself in a different way â and a woman who becomes a mother through surrogacy or adoption may not experience the same physical transformation as a birth mother â the psychological, emotional, and social impact of motherhood is not limited to pregnancy and childbirth.\n \nAdopted and intended mothers still experience many of the same changes and challenges associated with adapting to their new maternal role â such as a shift in
7329identity, a reconfiguration of their social relationships, and the emotional and psychological adjustments needed for bonding and caregiving.\nIs there a male version of matrescence?\nYes. While itâs not gained the same academic traction as matrescence, Dr. Will Courtenay, a clinical psychologist, coined the parallel term âpatrescenceâ to describe a manâs journey to fatherhood â noting that fathers too go through identity shifts, emotional struggles, and relationship changes while adapting to their new roles.\nMuch like during matrescence, itâs not uncommon for new fathers to feel stress, anxiety, or uncertainty as they transition to parenthood, but active involvement in caregiving has been shown to enhance bonding and have a positive impact on a fatherâs mental health.\nHow to navigate matrescence as a new mother\nOf course, thereâs no manual for navigating the transition to becoming a parent, and thereâs certainly no one-size-fits-all blueprint for motherhood â as weâve made clear, matrescence looks and feels slightly different for everybody. But there are certain things you can do to make the journey at least a little smoother.\n \n\n\nBe patient with yourself. Matrescence is a journey, and no one can be expected to adapt to motherhood overnight. Itâs okay to feel anxious or overwhelmed at times, so be lenient with yourself, and donât assume you need to have everything figured out right away.\n\n\n\n\nLet go of perfectionism. Many new mothers feel pressure to meet societyâs standards of the âperfect momâ, but these are unrealistic and unhelpful. It can be easier said than done, but try to set reasonable expectations for yourself and your family rather than aiming for an impossible ideal.\n\n\n\n\nTrust your instincts. Parenting advice will inevitably come from every angle â and itâll often be helpful and well-intentioned â but remember that you know whatâs best for you and your baby. Have confidence in your own decision-making abilities.\n\n\nMake time for self-care. Taking care of yourself is never selfish. While it can feel impossible to find a spare second for some you time, try to work self-care into your routine â take a short walk, run yourself a bath, or give meditation a try, for example.\n\n\nDonât assume motherhood defines you. While the role of a mother is important and often rewarding, remember that youâre more than âjust a momâ â itâs okay to have your own interests, maintain friendships, and live a life that doesnât simply involve caregiving.\n\n\n\n\nCelebrate little victories. Remember that every milestone is an achievement, no matter how small. Recognizing every little âwinâ â even something as simple as leaving the house with your baby for the first time â helps build resilience and a positive mindset.\n\n\nDonât be afraid to ask for support. Asking for help can feel like an admission of failure, but itâs essential to build a strong support network. Be open with friends, family, and your partner, and donât be afraid to seek professional advice if youâre feeling overwhelmed.\n\n\n\n\nRemember, thereâs no such thing as ânormalâ. Everyoneâs journey to motherhood is different. Many new mothers experience feelings of uncertainty, self-doubt, or even ambivalence; this doesnât make you a bad mom but a human navigating a complex transition.\n\n\n \nAt Elvie, we believe itâs so important to acknowledge and discuss matrescence as a concept â particularly as itâs still so little understood by society as a whole. We mustnât assume that women are simply natural caregivers, and we need to appreciate that the journey to motherhood can often be as challenging as it is rewarding. \nAs a new mom, remember that itâs natural to feel anxious, doubtful, or overwhelmed at times. Motherhood isnât meant to be easy, but donât be afraid to trust your instincts, celebrate every win, and seek support when you need it. You donât need to be Wonder Woman â you just need to do whatâs best for you and your baby.", 7330 "datePublished": "2025-02-12 03:02:07 -0800", 7331 "dateModified": "2025-02-12 03:02:07 -0800", 7332 "author": { 7333 "@type": "Person", 7334 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-matrescence/#Elvie", 7335 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-matrescence/#Elvie", 7336 "name":"Elvie"}, 7337 "image": { 7338 "@type": "ImageObject", 7339 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1326349875-2_fdbd38cf-4e28-4918-b924-88189e0e7ee8.jpg?v=1752189742", 7340 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1326349875-2_fdbd38cf-4e28-4918-b924-88189e0e7ee8.jpg?v=1752189742" 7341 }, 7342 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-matrescence", 7343 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7344 } 7345 , 7346{ 7347 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7348 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-hormones", 7349 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-hormones", 7350 "headline":"Postpartum Hormones: What's Actually Going on in Your Body?", 7351 "name":"Postpartum Hormones: What's Actually Going on in Your Body?", 7352 "description":"Itâs a bit of an understatement to say that life as a new mom is filled with change â your moods can fluctuate, your sleep patterns will likely be erratic, and your routine will be unrecognizable from your pre-pregnancy life.\n \nBut there are also a lot of changes going on inside your body.\n \nThe human body is filled with over 50 different hormones, and they play an essential role in factors such as growth, metabolism, and sexual function. For women whoâve gone through pregnancy, theyâre also vital in helping the body adjust to motherhood.\n \nHormones such as estrogen and progesterone do an important job during and after childbirth, but the varying needs of your body mean they change dramatically during the postpartum period â affecting (among other things) your mood, sleep, and energy levels.\n \nSo, what is actually going on with your hormones after pregnancy? When do they spike and dip? And when will they go back to ânormalâ? Our guide covers everything you need to know about postpartum hormone changes.\nWhat happens to your hormones after giving birth?\nJust like many other aspects of your life, your hormones are in a state of flux as you recover from childbirth and begin adapting to your new role. These hormonal shifts can be challenging, but they also play a vital part in everything from your bodyâs physical recovery process to your ability to bond with your new baby.\nEstrogen and progesterone decrease\nEstrogen and progesterone are sex hormones that play an important role in reproductive health. During pregnancy, estrogen promotes the growth of the uterus and supports the ongoing development of the fetus, while progesterone thickens the uterus lining and helps to prevent preterm labor.\nBecause of these essential functions, estrogen and progesterone levels increase during pregnancy, but drop rapidly following childbirth. This sharp decrease is mainly due to the fact estrogen and progesterone are produced in the placenta, which leaves your body when you give birth.\n \nThe decline in estrogen and progesterone can cause dramatic mood changes in the early days following childbirth, and is thought to be at least partly responsible for the phenomenon known as the âbaby bluesâ â a feeling of sadness which is especially common in the first 2-3 days, but can last up to two weeks.\nProlactin increases\nProlactin is the hormone responsible for lactation. Produced by the pituitary gland â a tiny gland at the base of the brain â it promotes the growth of breast tissue (specifically the type known as mammary alveoli) and stimulates the cells that help to produce milk for breastfeeding.\n \nBecause itâs so essential for milk production, prolactin spikes dramatically following childbirth, and remains high during breastfeeding â the more frequently you nurse, the higher your prolactin levels will be. If you choose not to breastfeed, however, your prolactin levels will go back to normal within around two weeks.\nOxytocin remains high\nNicknamed the âlove hormoneâ, oxytocin is quite unique in that it increases during pregnancy and stays high following childbirth. This hormone performs various functions throughout the pregnancy and postpartum periods, impacting everything from labor to postpartum recovery and even mom-baby bonding.\n \nBefore birth, for example, oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions to help the cervix dilate and induce labor â oxytocin levels increase as labor progresses.\n \nPostpartum, oxytocin continues to perform a number of important functions, such as helping the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size and preventing excessive postpartum bleeding. It also triggers the let-down reflex to enable breastfeeding, regulates mood, and helps to strengthen the emotional attachment between mother and baby.\nCortisol decreases\nCortisol is often referred to as the âstress hormoneâ. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol performs several functions in the body, including maintaining healthy blood pressure, regulating metabolism, and (hereâs where the nickname comes from) helping the body respond to stress.\n \nCortisol levels gradually rise during pregnancy (reaching their peak in the latter stages) as the hormone plays a significant role in developing the fetus, modulating the immune response, managing energy levels, and latterly helping both mom and baby prepare for birth.\n \nFollowing pregnancy, c
7352ortisol levels decrease quite dramatically as the body shifts from its âhigh-energyâ pregnancy state to one focused on healing and recovery. Metabolic processes also return to their pre-pregnancy levels. This reduction in cortisol can lead to postpartum mood changes, and in some cases may even contribute to postpartum depression.\nEndorphins decrease\nEndorphins are neurotransmitters produced by the brain, often referred to as the bodyâs ânatural painkillersâ. They typically spike in pregnant women to help them cope with the physical pain and discomfort of pregnancy (particularly during labor) while they can also contribute to the feeling of euphoria after giving birth.\n \nDuring the postpartum period, however, endorphin levels usually fall. In combination with the drop in other hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and cortisol, this can contribute to mood swings, irritability, and âbaby bluesâ. New moms recovering from birth may also be more sensitive to pain as endorphins return to their pre-pregnancy levels.\nHow do hormonal changes affect you after birth?\nThe changes in hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and cortisol that occur following pregnancy can have dramatic physical and emotional effects â impacting everything from your energy levels to your mood. While the postpartum experience can be different for every woman, hormonal shifts may affect you in the following ways:\n \n\n\nMood changes. The drop in hormones such as estrogen and cortisol is associated with postpartum mood swings, with new moms often experiencing complex and changeable emotions.\n\n\nBaby blues. These reductions can also contribute to the âbaby bluesâ, which is very common in the first few days following birth, and in rarer cases can lead to postpartum depression.\n\n\nFatigue. Decreased levels of hormones like cortisol can contribute to feelings of exhaustion and a lack of energy.\n\n\nStress and anxiety. Lower cortisol levels can sometimes make it harder to manage stress, which may lead to bouts of anxiety and irritability.\n\n\nDifficulty sleeping. The reduction in estrogen (which reduces the amount of time it takes to fall asleep) and progesterone (which helps with relaxation) can often introduce sleep-related challenges including insomnia and frequent waking.\n\n\n \nHowever, while navigating these postpartum hormone changes can certainly be challenging, itâs not all mood swings and sleepless nights. There are some upsides too, with hormones such as oxytocin aiding physical recovery (helping the uterus to contract after birth and reducing postpartum bleeding) while also supporting mother-baby bonding.\nHow long do postpartum hormones last?\nPostpartum hormone fluctuations typically last from a few weeks to several months after giving birth. The most significant changes â such as the rapid drop in estrogen and progesterone â occur within the first few days, while other hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin remain elevated for longer, especially in breastfeeding mothers.\n \nWhile symptoms such as mood swings generally improve after a few weeks, some women may continue experiencing hormonal effects for several months. In cases of postpartum depression, these effects can persist longer and may require medical intervention.\nWhen do hormones drop postpartum?\nMost hormones begin to drop almost immediately after giving birth. For example, estrogen and progesterone levels decrease within 24 hours (mainly because the placenta, where these two hormones are produced, is expelled during delivery) and return to pre-pregnancy levels within a few days.\n \nOther hormones take longer to decline. Oxytocin, for instance, increases during pregnancy and remains high for a while after birth (it may begin to decrease up to 8 weeks postpartum, though this can vary) as it continues to play an important role in factors like postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and mom-baby bonding.\nWhen do your hormones level out postpartum?\nYour hormones will usually go back to their normal, pre-pregnancy levels between three to six months after giving birth, but this can vary between women. Factors such as stress, sleep deprivation, and whether you decide to breastfeed can all affect how long it takes for your hormones to level out.\n \nFor example, breastfeeding mothers continue to produce higher levels of prolactin and oxytocin (both of which play an important role in milk production and let-down) and this means it can often take longer for âhormonal balanceâ to be fully restored.\nPostpartum hormones timeline: what happens when?\nPostpartum hormone changes rarely happen like clockwork (there arenât many things you can set your watch to when it comes to motherhood) and the timeframe often depends on whether you decide to breastfeed or not; but letâs attempt to at least give you a rough idea of what your postpartum hormone timeline will look like.\nFirst week postpartum hormones\nMany hormones surge during labor and childbirth (your endorphins spike and often give you a sense of euphoria, for example) and while some remain high, most will dramatically decrease in the days following delivery. For example:\n\n\nEstrogen and progesterone levels will fall rapidly (usually within 24 hours) and return to their pre-pregnancy norm shortly after. This is often accompanied by the âbaby bluesâ, which typically only last a few days.\n\n\nProlactin will increase dramatically in the first few days to help stimulate milk production (if you choose not to breastfeed, your prolactin levels will return to normal in a couple of weeks).\n\n\nOxytocin will remain high in the early days following childbirth, helping to counteract the drop in estrogen and progesterone and help with bonding between mom and baby.\n\n\n3-6 weeks postpartum hormones\nAny initial âbaby bluesâ should have subsided by this
7352stage, but for the roughly 1 in 7 new moms who develop postpartum depression, theyâll usually start to experience symptoms â which can include a very low mood, irrational thoughts, and trouble bonding with your baby â within a few weeks of giving birth. Additionally:\n\n\nEstrogen and progesterone will have returned to their pre-pregnancy levels.\n\n\nProlactin will remain high for breastfeeding mothers, to support ongoing milk production.\n\n\nOxytocin will also remain high for nursing moms, but may begin to drop from around 8 weeks.\n\n\n3 months postpartum hormones\nAt this stage, particularly for non-breastfeeding mothers, many hormones will have begun returning to their baseline, pre-pregnancy levels â this is typically also when periods return for those who choose not to nurse.\n \nHowever, hormones such as cortisol (the âstress hormoneâ) can spike around this time as the stresses of parenting often begin to take their toll.\n6 months postpartum hormones\nMany new moms find their hormones have âleveled outâ and returned to their pre-pregnancy state by the 6-month mark. However, this is often dependent on whether theyâre breastfeeding, as prolactin and oxytocin levels remain high in breastfeeding mothers.\n \nWhen you begin weaning your baby off breast milk (the World Health Organization recommends not doing so before six months), your prolactin and oxytocin levels will decrease and gradually return to normal. In addition, your menstrual cycle will likely recommence.\nHow to cope with postpartum hormone changes\nThe postpartum period can be challenging, with hormonal imbalances often having a dramatic impact on factors such as your mood, your sleep quality, and your energy levels. But while hormonal changes and their aftereffects are pretty unavoidable, there are some things you can do to make this transitionary period at least a little more manageable.\n \n\n\nPrioritize sleep and rest. Though getting enough of it can be easier said than done, sleep plays a vital role in hormone regulation. Even if itâs impossible to sleep for long stretches, try to catch up on sleep when your baby naps, for example.\n\n\nTry to maintain a healthy diet. While you might have little time for meal prep, good nutrition is important for recovery and mood regulation. Where you can, try to opt for foods rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. And stay hydrated.\n\n\nDo some light exercise. Low-intensity activities like walking, stretching, or yoga can make a big difference to your mood and energy levels, but itâs essential to listen to your body and take it slow â thereâs no rush to jump back into a fitness routine.\n\n\nMake time for self-care. Taking time for yourself doesnât require a spa day, but itâs really important for your emotional and physical wellbeing. Try to set aside some time each day to take a bath, read a book, or just do something calming that you enjoy.\n\n\nGround your expectations. Itâs normal to feel pressure to âbounce backâ quickly after childbirth, but adjusting to life with a newborn is a process and itâs okay not to be perfect. Try to set realistic expectations for yourself and celebrate every small win.\n\n\nDonât be afraid to ask for help. Hormonal shifts can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or guilt, so itâs important to lean on your partner, family, or friends. Remember, they may not recognize what youâre going through unless you tell them.\n\n\nSpeak to a professional. If youâre really struggling, or if youâre experiencing severe postpartum depression, you should seek professional help; for example, from your OB-GYN midwife or a mental health professional who specializes in postpartum care.\n\n\nAdapting to postpartum hormone changes can be something of a rollercoaster ride â you know thereâll be ups and downs, but they can still catch you off guard. And while there are times when the ride will feel exhilarating, at others it might feel overwhelming. \nBut itâs important to remember that while the sometimes unpredictable nature of your postpartum hormones can be challenging, many of the changes youâre experiencing are your bodyâs way of helping you adapt to motherhood â and youâll eventually find your balance again.", 7353 "datePublished": "2025-02-12 02:59:00 -0800", 7354 "dateModified": "2025-02-12 02:59:00 -0800", 7355 "author": { 7356 "@type": "Person", 7357 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-hormones/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7358 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-hormones/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7359 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7360 "image": { 7361 "@type": "ImageObject", 7362 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1145964231-2_2f64860d-43d0-4370-b37e-2eed037f8f2a.jpg?v=1752190563", 7363 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1145964231-2_2f64860d-43d0-4370-b37e-2eed037f8f2a.jpg?v=1752190563" 7364 }, 7365 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-hormones", 7366 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7367 } 7368 , 7369{ 7370 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7371 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/struggling-to-bond-with-baby", 7372 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/struggling-to-bond-with-baby", 7373 "headline":"Struggling to Bond with Your Baby?

Understanding and Overcoming Challenges", 7375 "description":"Or something like thatâ¦While a lucky bunch of moms experience these sensations, many donât. Studies have shown that around 20% of new parents donât feel an immediate connection with their newborns â so if this sounds like you, take a deep breath. Youâre not broken, and more importantly â youâre not a bad parent.Bonding is a process, and for some, it takes a little longer than expected. Throw in a particularly rough birth experience, postpartum hormones, a side order of exhaustion â or simply the massive life shift of becoming a parent â and itâs easy to see why.But just because youâre struggling to connect with your tot now doesnât mean this will always be the case. Below, weâll discuss why baby bonding can be so troublesome for some parents, and more importantly, what you can do to strengthen your parent-to-tot connection. Bonding isnât always instant (and thatâs fine!)Some parents feel an immediate connection with their child, while others can take weeks or months to build that attachment. Neither experience is wrong. No matter how tempting it may be to compare your childraising experiences, try to remind yourself that building a family isnât a competition. All sorts of things can drive a wedge between you and your child, and there are many reasons why you might not experience that much-anticipated instant bond, including:\nA difficult or traumatic birth: If labor and delivery were challenging, you might feel physically and emotionally drained, making it tricky to channel whatever energy is left into bonding with your baby. \nPostpartum depression or anxiety: Mental health conditions can make it particularly difficult to develop a mother-baby connection. And while lacking a bond with your tot doesnât always have its roots in postpartum depression, itâs always best to consult a medical professional if your depressive symptoms stay around for 2 weeks or more post-birth. \nExhaustion: The sleep deprivation and all-out exhaustion of caring for a newborn can make everything â including bonding â feel overwhelming.\nNICU stays: If your baby needed medical attention after birth, separation can delay the natural bonding process.\nA lack of support: It takes a village to raise a child. If youâre left without the help and support you need, this can hinder your ability to establish a strong bond with your tot.\nIs it normal to not feel connected to your baby during pregnancy?Yes! Some parents might feel an immediate sense of joy and excitement when they see a positive pregnancy test or hear their babyâs heartbeat for the first time, but others may take a little longer to warm up to the idea of parenthood â and thatâs fine!You might feel:\nLike your pregnancy isnât ârealâ yet: In early pregnancy, when thereâs no visible bump or movements, it can be hard to truly grasp that a baby is growing inside you.\nScared the past might repeat itself: If youâve had a miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, or anxiety about becoming a parent, you might hesitate to fully connect as a form of emotional self-protection.\nTired and sick: Morning sickness, fatigue, and body changes can sometimes make pregnancy feel more like a struggle than a magical experience.\nSigns youâre struggling to bond with your babyItâs important to stress that bonding often doesnât occur naturally. If youâre not feeling connected with your newborn, itâs better to acknowledge the issue and face it head on. So often, parents ignore the signs for fear that theyâre at fault. Remember: thereâs no shame in struggling to bond with your baby. Below, weâve outlined some of the most common signs of bonding difficulties. And if any of the challenges below seem familiar, donât worry â weâll dig into how to overcome them, too.You struggle to understand your babyâs cuesBabies arenât the best at communicating. Fortunately, the ability to externalize thoughts and desires will develop in due time â by which point, youâll probably be longing for the goo-goo-gaa-gaa days⦠For now, youâve got to interpret their cries, facial expressions, and body language. If youâre finding this hard (and who could blame you!) it may contribute to feelings of frustration or inadequacy, further distancing you emotionally. Youâre struggling to soothe your babyWhen your baby cries, do you feel frustrated, confused, or helpless? Do you find it nearly impossible to comfort them? Knowing that itâs up to you to soothe your tot, but not understanding how, can drive a real wedge between the two of you. You feel isolated or disconnectedThe sudden shift from pregnancy to motherhood can feel like a complete handbrake turn, and parents â particularly moms â often talk about feeling invisible once their child is born. If youâre going through the motions of parenthood but donât feel emotionally present, bonding can feel difficult. This might manifest as feeling detached from your baby or even feeling resentful about your new role as a parent.Negative emotions consistently outweigh positive feelingsOf course, all parents experience frustration from time to time, especially during sleepless nights or difficult feeding sessions. But if frustration, stress and resentment are the first emotions that come to mind when thinking about your little one, it may suggest that bonding is not progressing as it should.How to strengthen the bond with your babyIf bonding with your baby isnât happening as naturally as youâd hoped, donât stress. Love and connection grow over time, and there are plenty of ways to help it along. Here are a few simple things you can try:Cuddle up for skin-to-skin timeSnuggle your baby close to your bare chest and let them soak in your warmth, your heartbeat, and your scent. This simple act works wonders in making both of you feel safe, loved, and connected. Bonus? It also helps regulate your babyâs body temperature and stress levels.Chat, sing, and read to your babyYour voice is magic to your little one, even if youâre just narrating your morning coffee routine. Sing a lullaby, chat about your day, or grab a book and read aloud â your baby doesnât care about the words, they just love hearing you.Look into their eyesBabies are wired to seek out faces, and yours is their favorite. Lock eyes, smile, and copy their expressions â it helps them feel seen and loved while strengthening your connection.Be there when they need youWhen your baby cries, try to respond as best you can. You wonât always get it right (and thatâs okay), but every time you comfort them, youâre showing them they can trust you â and trust is the foundation of bonding.Wear your babyOkay, opinions may be a little divided on wearing our babies, but while it might feel a little strange at first, baby wearing isnât a new phenomenon â the practice is commonplace outside of Western culture and has been for millennia. And besides, the benefits are plenty: your baby gets to feel close to you, hear your heartbeat, and be part of your day, all while you have your hands free. Take care of yourself, tooItâs easy to put yourself last, but your well-being matters as much as your little oneâs. Rest when you can, eat nourishing foods, and donât be afraid to accept support from others. A more rested, supported you will find bonding much easier.Ask for professional help if you need itIf bonding still feels difficult after some time, or if youâre struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or detachment, talk to a professional. Thereâs no shame in getting support, and doing so can make a world of difference.Baby bonding for fathersFathers and non-birthing parents may also struggle with bonding, especially in the early days. Since they donât experience pregnancy and birth firsthand, their connection with their baby may take longer to develop. Here are some ways dads can foster attachment:\nTake on caregiving tasks: Diaper changes, feedings, and bath time all create valuable bonding moments for dads.\nHave skin-to-skin time: Just like with moms, holding your baby close can build a strong emotional connection.\nBe involved in bedtime routines: Rocking, singing, and comforting your baby at night can be powerful bonding experiences.\nSpend one-on-one time: Even short moments of undivided attention â talking, playing, or simply holding your baby â help build a strong relationship over time.\nSupport your partner: A strong partnership creates a nurturing environment for your baby and allows both parents to bond in their own ways.\nStruggling to bond with your baby doesnât mean youâre a bad parent â it means youâre human. Bonding isnât always instant, and thatâs okay. Itâs a journey built on small moments of love, care, and connection. By being patient with yourself, engaging in bonding activities, and seeking support when needed, youâll soon find that your relationship with your baby grows stronger every day.", 7376 "datePublished": "2025-02-11 16:00:00 -0800", 7377 "dateModified": "2025-02-11 16:00:00 -0800", 7378 "author": { 7379 "@type": "Person", 7380 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/struggling-to-bond-with-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7381 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/struggling-to-bond-with-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7382 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7383 "image": { 7384 "@type": "ImageObject", 7385 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/woman-holding-baby-smiling-to-camera-1800x825px_67451764-4351-4ee4-8b3c-e9e9bfa9604f.webp?v=1752081738", 7386 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/woman-holding-baby-smiling-to-camera-1800x825px_67451764-4351-4ee4-8b3c-e9e9bfa9604f.webp?v=1752081738" 7387 }, 7388 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/struggling-to-bond-with-baby", 7389 "keywords": ["Breast Pumping"] 7390 } 7391 , 7392{ 7393 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7394 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-body-changes", 7395 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-body-changes", 7396 "headline":"Understanding Postpartum Body Changes: What Happens and Why", 7397 "name":"Understanding Postpartum Body Changes: What Happens and Why", 7398 "description":"Laying it out in black and white like this might make you wonder how you managed to run the gauntlet of pregnancy in the first place, but you â and your little one â made it through together, and thatâs a huge achievement.\nLaying it out in black and white like this might make you wonder how you managed to run the gauntlet of pregnancy in t
7398he first place, but you â and your little one â made it through together, and thatâs a huge achievement. \nCarrying and delivering new life into the world is difficult. Itâs to be expected that your body â the thing responsible for creating that wonderful, whining bundle of joy â will carry some evidence of the battle itâs been through. From your waist to your shoe size, your post-birth body will look and feel different from how it did pre-pregnancy. This is completely normal!\nBut adjusting to these changes can be tricky â particularly because your mind is just as affected by the birthing process as your body â but eventually, youâll adjust to these postpartum changes in much the same way as you did with your baby bump. \nBelow, weâll explain all the bodily changes postpartum life can bring with it.\nWill my body ever be the same after pregnancy?\nThe short answer is no, your body may never be exactly the same â but thatâs not necessarily a bad thing!\nPregnancy and childbirth leave permanent marks â both physical and emotional â but all of these changes are signs of the incredible work your body has done. \nYour hips might be a little wider, your skin might have a few more stretch marks, and your breast size might have altered, but not all of these changes are as bad as they first may seem. Stretch marks, for example, tend to fade over time, and soon enough, you might even find yourself admiring them in the mirror, sort of like a souvenir of your journey through motherhood.\nYour bodyâs elasticity â especially around the belly area â might not snap back as quickly as youâd like, and some of your muscle tone could be affected, but your body will âgrow intoâ these c\nRaising a child is all about adapting to strange new situations, and bodily changes are all part of the package, so try to frame these postpartum transformations as positive reminders of your strength and resilience â easier said than done, we know!\n \nGiven enough time, the vast majority of mums learn to view their new bodies as a reflection of a hard-fought victory, not something to âfixâ.\n \nThat said, thereâs nothing to stop you from toning back up once youâre ready, and weâll touch on this later on!\nWhat are the main changes to the body after childbirth?\nThe changes your body goes through after childbirth can be a bit of a mixed bag â some may feel subtle, while others can be quite dramatic. And of course, every mumâs experience is different, but generally you can expect to see some (or all) of the following changes:\nYour breasts\nWhether youâre breastfeeding or not, your breasts will go through significant changes. They may feel larger or heavier during the first few weeks as they start producing milk. Over time, your breasts will likely return to their pre-pregnancy size or may remain slightly larger or smaller, depending on how your body responds. \nYou might also notice some sagging â again, this is completely natural and down to the rapid growth of breast tissue causing the skin to stretch, making it weaker.\nYour pelvic floor\nPregnancy and childbirth take a toll on your pelvic muscles. These muscles stretch and can weaken, especially after vaginal delivery. This might lead to a leaky bladder, or a âheavyâ feeling between your vagina and anus, but these symptoms can be improved! Pelvic floor exercises like Kegels can help strengthen these muscles â and are easier than ever with Elvie Trainer â but itâs important to give yourself time to heal before jumping into a routine.\nYour belly\nIt may take some time for your belly to go back to a non-pregnant state. Even after delivery, your uterus is still shrinking back down to its pre-pregnancy size, which can take about six weeks. You might notice some sagging or softer skin around your abdomen, and it may feel tender for a while.\nItâs also common for the two muscles that run down the stomach to separate during pregnancy â this is known as diastasis recti, and happens when the womb pushes the muscles apart, causing them to elongate and weaken. This sounds quite scary, but itâs nothing to worry about, as the stomach muscles will usually be back to normal by the time your totâs around 8 weeks old. \nStill, itâs best to keep an eye on how youâre healing. You can check the size of the separation weekly by following these steps:\n\n\nLie on your back with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor.\n\n\nLook down at your tummy, raising your shoulders off the floor slightly.\n\n\nFeel the edges of the muscles just above and below your belly button, seeing how many fingers you can fit in between the gap.\n\n\nYour hair\nMany women experience hair loss around 3-6 months postpartum. This is because of hormonal changes that occur after birth, and is perfectly normal and (thankfully) temporary â you can expect your hair to start regrowing in a few months. It will usually return to its normal fullness, but some women notice their hair is a little thinner following childbirth.\nYour skin\nPregnancy hormones may cause skin changes like hyperpigmentation (darkening of certain areas), acne, or the infamous âlinea nigraâ (a dark line running down your belly). These will fade in most cases, but it may take some time for your skin to return to its usual tone. You should speak to your doctor if youâre concerned about any skin-related issues.\nHow long does it take for your body to go back to normal after birth?\nWithout sounding like a broken record, everybody heals differently, so thereâs no âtypicalâ healing timeline. However, below weâve included a general overview of what most mothers can expect in the weeks and months postpartum:\n\n\nThe first few days. Youâll likely experience vaginal bleeding or discharge (known as lochia) and some cramping as your uterus begins to shrink. If you had a cesarean section, youâll also have a healing incision.\n\n\nSix weeks postpartum. Most of the initial healing occurs during this time. Your uterus shrinks, and your body adjusts to life without pregnancy hormones. You may also experience emotional highs and lows as your hormone levels fluctuate. C-section scars typically heal within 6 weeks, but may take up to 2 years to fade.\n\n\n3-6 months postpartum. By this point, your body has mostly adjusted to its postpartum state, but some changes (like hair loss or stretched skin) may still be noticeable.\n\n\n6-12 months after birth. Most mums report feeling âback to normalâ by this
7398stage, though ânormalâ might look and feel a little different from how it did pre-birth. Stretch marks and loose skin may still be present, and how permanent these changes are will depend on your unique physiology.\n\n\nHow long does a postpartum body last?\nThereâs no definitive timeline for how long a postpartum body âlastsâ. Some changes, like stretched skin or wider hips, may be permanent, while others, like hair loss or uterine shrinking, are temporary. Ultimately, everybody (and every body) is different, and recovery isnât a race.\nThe most important thing is to embrace the journey and give yourself grace. Your postpartum body is a testament to your strength and resilience, and thatâs something to be proud of.\nIs it harder to get in shape after pregnancy?\nIt can be more challenging to get in shape postpartum, but itâs far from impossible. Your body has been through a monumental event, so itâs important to approach fitness with patience and realistic expectations.\n \nThe main obstacles are often lack of time, sleep deprivation, and the physical toll of caring for a newborn. Your energy levels may be lower than usual, and thatâs okay! Listen to your body and ease into exercise gradually â it sounds counterintuitive, but by taking things slowly, youâll exponentially increase the speed of your recovery\nWhich type of workouts are the best post-pregnancy?\nGenerally, any type of exercise is great post-birth, provided you take things gently and slowly. Sprinting straight into the nearest gym and attempting a new PB deadlift wonât do you any favors here. Ease back into your fitness routine gently, and if you feel any pain, listen to your body!\nIf you rarely exercised before you became pregnant, the following exercises are a great way to stay fit and healthy:\n\n\nPelvic floor exercises (Kegels): Strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum.\n\n\nWalking: A low-impact way to ease back into movement and boost your mood.\n\n\nPostnatal yoga or pilates: Focuses on core strength and flexibility while promoting relaxation.\n\n\nLight strength training: Helps rebuild muscle tone, but avoid heavy lifting until youâre fully healed.\n\n\n \nJust remember to take things easy, and you should be A-okay.\nStomach-toning exercises\nWant to tone your tummy? Try the following super-simple routine to regain some of that pre-pregnancy core strength:\n \n\n\nLay on your side with your knees bent, letting your tummy completely relax. Breathe gently.\n\n\nAs you breathe out, gently draw in your stomach as if youâre wearing a corset, and while doing so, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles.\n\n\nHold for a count of 10 (remembering to breathe normally), then gently release.\n\n\nDid you know? Breastfeeding burns calories!\nHereâs some good news: breastfeeding burns extra calories â up to 500 a day! To put this into perspective, this is roughly the same as a 3-hour yoga session (though unfortunately, it wonât build your flexibility in the same wayâ¦)\nBetter still, breastfeeding also promotes a healthy immune system for your tot, reduces your risk of type 2 diabetes, and even certain types of breast and ovarian cancers. \nIf you choose to breastfeed though, just remember that your body needs plenty of nutrients to recover and produce milk, so focus on eating a balanced diet rather than cutting calories alongside nursing. \nNo matter what you think about your postpartum body, try to remember that itâs not about âbouncing backâ but moving forward. Embrace the new version of yourself. Take pride in your graduation from expectant, anxious mom-to-be, to proud, battle-hardened parent!\n \nYou â and your body â achieved something incredible, and that deserves credit, not criticism. And if you find youâre having more down days than up, donât be afraid to reach out to your partner, family, friends, or a medical professional. Pregnancy isnât just physically tough; itâs an emotional rollercoaster too, so try to be kind to yourself.\n ", 7399 "datePublished": "2025-02-05 16:00:00 -0800", 7400 "dateModified": "2025-02-05 16:00:00 -0800", 7401 "author": { 7402 "@type": "Person", 7403 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-body-changes/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7404 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-body-changes/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7405 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7406 "image": { 7407 "@type": "ImageObject", 7408 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/post-partum-body-16x9_x3_d07f289b-c43b-4cd4-b84d-74ea71d094b4.jpg?v=1751999212", 7409 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/post-partum-body-16x9_x3_d07f289b-c43b-4cd4-b84d-74ea71d094b4.jpg?v=1751999212" 7410 }, 7411 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-body-changes", 7412 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7413 } 7414 , 7415{ 7416 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7417 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-blues-vs-postpartum-depression", 7418 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-blues-vs-postpartum-depression", 7419 "headline":"Baby Blues vs Postpartum Depression: How to Tell the Difference", 7420 "name":"Baby Blues vs Postpartum Depression: How to Tell the Difference", 7421 "description":"Plenty of moms feel a little down, depressed or anxious in the days following childbirth â itâs a relatively common component of the postpartum experience. However, thereâs a huge difference between a low mood (usually caused by the general stress and turbulence a newborn typically brings with it) and an unshakeable sadness.\n\nKnowing the difference between postpartum depression and whatâs often referred to simply as the âbaby bluesâ can be tricky because symptoms tend to develop gradually, and emotional peaks and troughs are a feature of parenthood â not a bug. This said, weâd always re
7421commend that you speak to a medical professional if your mental health has suffered since giving birth.\n\nBut if youâre simply wondering how to spot the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression, weâll tell you all you need to know below.\nWhatâs the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression?\nIt can be really tricky to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of early parenthood, especially if youâre a first-time mom. A little sadness (along with anxiety, stress, fear â you name it) is par for the course, but itâs crucial to learn the difference between the temporary, common experience of the baby blues, and the much more serious postpartum depression (PPD).\n\nBoth conditions share similar traits â such as feeling sad, overwhelmed, or anxious â but what separates them is a matter of severity and duration. The baby blues typically resolve on their own within a couple of weeks, while the impact of postpartum depression is more severe and can persist for months, usually requiring medical intervention.\n\nIf youâre unsure whether youâre experiencing the baby blues or something more serious, itâs always best to speak to a professional. By understanding the distinct characteristics of both, you can better gauge what might be going on and whether additional support is necessary.\nWhat are the baby blues?\nThe so-called âbaby bluesâ are incredibly common, and while there isnât a scientific consensus on the exact figures, itâs estimated that up to 85% of new moms will experience it to some degree in the days or weeks following childbirth. So, if youâre feeling a little off-kilter after bringing your tot home, know that youâre not alone.\n\nThe baby blues are characterized by feelings of sadness, irritability, anxiety, or mood swings. You might feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or just plain down in the dumps, but these emotions are, for most moms, all part of the parenting package.\n\nYour brand-new routine combined with massive amounts of responsibility, arenât exactly a recipe for serenity and calm⦠Season with a sprinkle of sleep deprivation and plummeting hormones, and itâs easy to see how caring for a newborn can take quite a toll on your mental health.\n\nSymptoms of the baby blues can include:\n\n\n\nFeeling overwhelmed or tearful\n\n\nIrritability or mood swings\n\n\nDifficulty sleeping (not related to your babyâs sleep habits!)\n\n\nA general sense of fatigue or exhaustion\n\n\nTrouble focusing or concentrating\n\n\nFeelings of self
7421-doubt or insecurity about your new role as a mother\n\n\n\nThe silver lining? These feelings usually donât last long. Most women start to feel more like themselves within two weeks of giving birth, as their hormones stabilize and they get into a rhythm with their new routine.\nWhat causes the baby blues?\nStrictly speaking, there isnât one single cause of the baby blues, but hormonal changes are generally assigned most of the blame⦠After childbirth, your levels of estrogen and progesterone drop dramatically, often playing havoc with your mood. But thatâs only part of the story â other contributing factors include:\n\n\n\nSleep deprivation: As any new parent knows, getting a good nightâs rest can be nearly impossible with a newborn. This lack of sleep can contribute to feelings of stress and exhaustion.\n\n\nPhysical recovery: Whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, your body is going through a recovery period that can cause physical discomfort, which may add to emotional stress.\n\n\nEmotional adjustment: The transition to motherhood (or parenthood) is a major life change that can leave anyone feeling unsettled. Even if youâre thrilled about your new baby, adjusting to a completely new routine and identity can feel overwhelming.\n\n\nCan your partner get baby blues?\nYes, although itâs much less talked about!\n\nWhile your partner might not have first-hand experience of childbirth (lucky!) they can still experience the baby blues. They wonât be contending with the physical and hormonal shifts that youâre blessed with, but theyâve still got to share the responsibilities of parenthood and adjust to all of the changes inherent in raising a family.\n\nPartners may feel:\n\n\n\nStress or anxiety about their new role\n\n\nExhaustion from lack of sleep (yes, itâs hard for everyone!)\n\n\nSadness about the lack of quality time with their partner due to the babyâs needs\n\n\nEmotional withdrawal or frustration with how their partner is coping\n\n\nWhat is postpartum depression (PPD)?\nPostpartum depression is a much more serious condition that goes way beyond the usual feelings of sadness or anxiety, sometimes persisting for months and preventing you from living a normal, functional life.\n\nPPD doesnât typically resolve on its own, and it may worsen without treatment â in extreme cases, leading to serious harm to both you and your baby â which is why itâs so important to seek help if youâre struggling.\n\nSymptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) can include:\n\n\n\nPersistent sadness or hopelessness that lasts for more than a couple of weeks\n\n\nSevere anxiety or panic attacks that are difficult to control\n\n\nLoss of interest in activities you used to enjoy\n\n\nDifficulty bonding with your baby or feeling disconnected\n\n\nFeeling numb or âout of touchâ with reality\n\n\nExtreme fatigue or exhaustion that doesnât improve with rest\n\n\nThoughts of harming yourself or your baby (this requires immediate medical attention!)\n\n\n\nRemember: even if youâre only experiencing one or two of the symptoms listed above, itâs best to seek help. The earlier PPD is detected, the easier it is to treat. \nIs postpartum depression the same as postnatal depression?\nYes. Postpartum depression and postnatal depression are often used interchangeably, and both describe the feelings of sadness, anxiety, and detachment that women sometimes experience after childbirth. The use of each term generally depends on regional preferences â âpostpartumâ is more common in the US, for example, while âpostnatalâ may be used more often in the UK.\nWhat causes postpartum depression?\nPostpartum depression can be linked to many of the same triggers as the baby blues, but certain factors may increase the risk of ânormalâ emotional ups and downs developing into a more serious condition. For example, one or more of the following factors may play a part in the development of PPD:\n\n\n\nGenetic factors: A family history of depression or anxiety may increase the likelihood of developing PPD.\n\n\nHormonal changes: As with the baby blues, the drop in estrogen and progesterone post-birth, as well as other hormones produced by the thyroid gland may leave you feeling sluggish, irritable, and depressed.\n\n\nPrevious mental health issues: If youâve struggled with mental health issues such as depression or anxiety in the past, you may be more susceptible to PPD.\n\n\nLack of support: Feeling isolated or unsupported by family, friends, or a partner can contribute to feelings of loneliness or helplessness that can lead to PPD.\n\n\nStress: Financial pressures, relationship difficulties, or other life stresses can make you more vulnerable to postpartum depression.\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that there is no single cause of PPD â every mom is different, and again, if you suspect you may be suffering from postpartum depression, seek help.\nBaby blues vs PPD â the key differences\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nBaby Blues\n\n\nPostpartum Depression\n\n\n\n\nDuration\n\n\nTypically resolves within 2 weeks\n\n\nPer

The good news is that postpartum depression is treatable, and with the right support, most parents make a full recovery.\n\nIf youâre unsure whether youâre experiencing the baby blues or postpartum depression, donât hesitate to reach out to a doctor. Thereâs no shame in seeking help â taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your baby.\nTreatments for postpartum depression\nPostpartum depression can be a dark, lonely, frightening path to walk alone, but with support and treatment, you can make it through. Your first step should always be to consult a medical professional, after which, youâll likely be referred to one or more of the following treatment paths:\nSelf help\nWhile professional help is crucial if youâre suffering from PPD, there are some things you can do to gain a little more control over your mental health alongside your chosen treatment method. Talking to your family and friends about how youâre feeling, making time for yourself (such as a relaxing bubble bath or a trip to the park), regular exercise, and eating a healthy diet can all give you a little boost in the right direction.\nTalking therapy\nTalking therapy, also known as psychotherapy, is often an effective treatment for postpartum depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are two types of therapies commonly used to treat depression.\nAntidepressants\nIn some cases, medication may be necessary to help manage the symptoms of postpartum depression. Antidepressants (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs) are commonly prescribed to help improve mood and alleviate feelings of sadness or hopelessness.\nRemember, if youâre at all worried about your mental health, please consult a medical professional as soon as possible.", 7422 "datePublished": "2025-02-05 16:00:00 -0800", 7423 "dateModified": "2025-02-05 16:00:00 -0800", 7424 "author": { 7425 "@type": "Person", 7426 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-blues-vs-postpartum-depression/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7427 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-blues-vs-postpartum-depression/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7428 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7429 "image": { 7430 "@type": "ImageObject", 7431 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/breastfeeding_medication_4d720051-565b-4d10-9157-ebf136d81eda.jpg?v=1751999144", 7432 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/breastfeeding_medication_4d720051-565b-4d10-9157-ebf136d81eda.jpg?v=1751999144" 7433 }, 7434 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-blues-vs-postpartum-depression", 7435 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7436 } 7437 , 7438{ 7439 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7440 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/self-care-tips", 7441 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/self-care-tips", 7442 "headline":"Postpartum Self-Care Tips: 6 Ways to Focus on Self-Care as a New Mom", 7443 "name":"Postpartum Self-Care Tips: 6 Ways to Focus on Self-Care as a New Mom", 7444 "description":"Thankfully, we live in an era where self-care is now planted firmly within mainstream consciousness, and most people have some idea of what it means â itâs all the little things that, on the surface, might seem inconsequential, but can have a huge impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health.But if youâve just become a mom, the only type of care youâre likely to be engaging in is for your little one.

Below, youâll find 6 of our top tips for making sure that every now and again, you get some much-needed me-time. Self-care as a mom (particularly when youâre a new mom) isnât always easy, but here are some of the ways you can put yourself first â even if only occasionally.1. Ask for helpIt takes a village to raise a child, but thereâs a weird stigma around asking for help â too many moms worry it makes them look like they canât do it all or perfectly juggle everything. But asking for help doesnât make you a failure, or ruin your chances of winning a non-existent âmother of the yearâ award. Itâs a great feeling to hand off your little one to a capable friend, family member, or babysitter and get out of the house to do something for yourself â whether itâs to attend a fitness class, meet a friend for coffee, or spend some quality time with your partner. If youâre afraid to ask for help, youâll simply never find time in the day for these things.2. Donât skimp on sleepBeing sleep deprived and exhausted equals a sluggish, cranky mom. Studies show that sleep improves your health, mood, and memory, but when you have a newborn, itâs rare to get more than a few hours of sleep at a time â meaning getting enough shuteye is often far easier said than done. Youâve just got to remember: this part is only a phase, and your baby will develop a more predictable sleep pattern as they get older. Try to nap when you can â those dishes can wait â and rather than staying up late, make a point of getting into bed as early as possible. Try your hardest to avoid stimulating activities like staring at your phone before bed, which can rev your mind up instead of helping you drift off to sleep. 3. Just breatheTaking just ten minutes a day to do some mindful breathing will do wonders for your emotional and physical wellbeing. There are lots of meditation apps, including Headspace and Calm, that guide you through easy techniques to de-stress and chill out. Do a short session first thing in the morning or whenever you have a small window of free time â when your babyâs napping, for example â to help reset your thoughts.4. Get some fresh airExercise and mental health are inextricably linked, and for good reason â being physically active releases mood-boosting endorphins, but it can also increase your overall energy levels and even help you get better quality sleep.Now, weâre not suggesting you sign up for a triathlon â although, thereâs nothing stopping you doing so in future â but just a little bit of exercise and fresh air each day can make a huge difference to your physical and emotional wellbeing. If youâre able, start gently by taking a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby green space, and build up to slightly more physically-demanding activities â such as yoga or a spin class â once youâre good and ready.5. Invest in yourselfWhen your life is a blur of nappy changes, rocking, burping, and feeding, itâs easy to wind up wearing the same clothes three days in a row, throwing your hair in a messy bun, and forgetting when you last showered. Thanks to pregnancy and childbirth, you may dread getting dressed because nothing fits besides leggings. But remember, being a mom isnât the only thing that defines you â and investing in y
7444ourself doesnât undermine your role as a caregiver. Consider buying a few nice clothes or treating yourself to some pamper products, or perhaps taking up that hobby youâve always fancied giving a go â doing so can help you feel more like you again. 6. Talk to your partnerIf you have a partner, itâs likely they feel the exact same way you do. Life is different for both of you now that youâre parents, but it can be easy to focus on your new roles and routines as caregivers and forget to check in on each other. Itâs not just about asking for help, either â itâs about communicating openly about your feelings, fears, and needs.Where you can, spending quality time together is equally important. Try to reclaim some couple-time and reaffirm why you make such a great team. Even a quick coffee date can make a world of difference when youâre used to the chaos of family life. Spend some intentional time together â that doesnât involve diapers or napping schedules â and remind yourselves that youâre not just parents but partners, too.The 5 Câs of mental health â how they can helpWhen we talk about self-care, a big part of this is focusing on your mental health â and when it comes to taking care of yourself, a little structure can go a long way. The five principles outlined below are a great framework for keeping tabs on your mental health, and theyâre incredibly effective for keeping your mind in a good place â even during the chaos of parenting:1. ConnectionFeeling connected to others is, as you might expect, a cornerstone of mental wellbeing. Whether itâs chatting with your friends, attending a mom-and-baby class, or spending a few minutes cuddling with your partner, finding ways to connect helps combat feelings of isolation and boosts your mood. So, if youâre feeling a little low, consider reaching out to your support system â even if itâs just a quick text.2. CareIf you hadnât cottoned on by now, we think self-care is pretty important â without it, your mental health is likely to suffer. Carving out a few minutes to yourself might be difficult when youâre raising a child, but it should never feel impossible â if it does, itâs time to lean on your support network. 3. ConsistencyRoutines may feel impossible with a newborn, but even small, consistent habits can anchor your day. Whether itâs a daily walk, a quick journaling session, or committing to a set bedtime to get enough sleep, consistency helps reduce stress and gives you a sense of control over your daily life.4. CompassionBe kind to yourself. Parenthood is a journey filled with trial and error, and perfection is impossible. If you feel tired, overwhelmed, or like youâre falling short, remind yourself that youâre doing your best. Speak to yourself with the same understanding and encouragement youâd offer a friend.5. CuriosityStaying curious keeps your mind engaged and open to new possibilities. Whether itâs learning a new skill, diving into a book, or simply exploring the outside world with your little one, curiosity adds a sense of wonder and joy to your day. Itâs also a great way to shift your focus away from stress and into something that excites or interests you.The bottom line on self-care as a new parentWhen youâre deep in the trenches of daily life as a new mom, itâs easy to forget that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your little one, but hereâs the thing: neglecting yourself doesnât do anyone any favours.As we mentioned before, it takes a village to raise a child. Having a solid support system is key. Whether itâs your partner, family, friends, or fellow moms, lean on them. Theyâre there to help lighten your load so you can focus on your mental wellbeing. And remember, even small acts of self-care can help â things like breathing exercises can make a surprising difference to how you feel.Better yet, itâs not just your mental health that stands to benefit from self-care â your immune system will get a much-needed boost from things like exercise, too. Chronic stress can really wear you down, but by carving out a moment or two of me-time, you can recharge your energy and show up as your best self for you and your tot. And no matter what, remember that youâre doing an amazing thing. Parenting is tough, and while there are plenty of tips and tricks, thereâs no standard manual. As long as you and your baby are healthy, youâre doing great, so donât be afraid to reward yourself every now and again!", 7445 "datePublished": "2025-02-04 16:00:00 -0800", 7446 "dateModified": "2025-02-04 16:00:00 -0800", 7447 "author": { 7448 "@type": "Person", 7449 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/self-care-tips/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7450 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/self-care-tips/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7451 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7452 "image": { 7453 "@type": "ImageObject", 7454 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/Lifa_NewMum_Selfcare_thumb_a83e758d-e76d-4d62-8400-555105212e74.jpg?v=1750955070", 7455 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/Lifa_NewMum_Selfcare_thumb_a83e758d-e76d-4d62-8400-555105212e74.jpg?v=1750955070" 7456 }, 7457 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/self-care-tips", 7458 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7459 } 7460 , 7461{ 7462 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7463 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/returning-to-work-after-maternity-leave", 7464 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/returning-to-work-after-maternity-leave", 7465 "headline":"Returning to Work After Maternity Leave: How to Find Balance and Manage Guilt", 7466 "name":"Returning to Work After Maternity Leave: How to Find Balance and Manage Guilt", 7467 "description":"As a working mom, itâs natural to feel conflicted about returning to work â itâs a huge step, after all, and one thatâs often accompanied by worry, trepidation, and no little guilt. Of course, you may simply be wondering how youâre possibly going to juggle a full-time job again now you also have a little one to care for!\n \nDepending on where you work and who you work for â maternity leave policies differ between countries and employers â and the amount of time youâve chosen to take off, you may be reentering the workforce after a few weeks, a few months, or a full year of leave. Either way, navigating this return can be tricky, logistically and emotionally.\n \nIn this guide, we explore some of the ways to ease your transition from at-home mom to working mom â helping you balance your professional and parental responsibilities without becoming crippled by guilt.\nWhy is it so hard to go back to work after maternity leave?\nEven if you feel ready (or perhaps even excited) to return to work following your maternity leave, itâs a pretty massive transition â particularly if youâve been away for many months. Readjusting to the routine and responsibilities of your job can feel like a huge shift following the often slightly less structured days of maternity leave.\nHere are just some of the factors that can make balancing work and motherhood so challenging:\n\n\nSeparation anxiety: After having so much quality time to bond with your baby, the idea of being apart from them â and accepting that you may
7467not be there for every little moment or milestone â can feel quite alien.\n\n\nGuilt: You might feel guilty about returning to work because you worry youâre abandoning your little one. Itâs also natural to feel concerned about how theyâre coping without you.\n\n\nShift in identity: During maternity leave, your primary role is as a caregiver. When you return to work, it can be difficult to balance this with your professional identity, and the two roles can often seem at odds with one another.\n\n\nThe logistics: The practical side of returning to work â organizing childcare, managing a different schedule, adjusting to pumping rather than breastfeeding â can introduce lots of new logistical challenges.\n\n\nExhaustion and fatigue: Balancing a job with caring for a baby is a lot to take on, and it can feel overwhelming if youâre frequently switching between these two roles without time in between to recharge.\n\n\nHow to cope with returning to work after maternity leave\nItâs important to recognize that transitioning back to work post-baby is a big adjustment, and youâre unlikely to be performing at your peak from day one â your employer shouldnât expect this, either. Whether you feel excited, anxious, or a mix of both, give yourself permission to ease back into the routine and find a balance that works for you and your family.\nExplore the option of âphasing inâ\nWhen itâs time to return to work after maternity leave, diving head-first back into your âoldâ routine is almost certainly going to feel pretty overwhelming. The likelihood is that, after weeks or months of dirty diapers and limited sleep, being thrust straight into a big project or sitting through back-to-back meetings might be a little much for your first week back.\nThis is why many working moms opt for a phased return to work, which involves a gentler and more gradual reintroduction to your role â your employer may allow you to work shorter days (or weeks) at first, for instance, easing the transition and ensuring you donât become overburdened too quickly.\nMany companies also offer âkeeping in touchâ days, where youâre able to work a few days during your maternity leave. These can help you avoid feeling totally âout of the loopâ when you return, while also enabling you to maintain contact with co-workers while youâre away.\nSpeak to your employer about flexible working\nThe 2020s working landscape has been defined by a certain global health catastrophe, with one upshot being the swift adoption by many companies of remote working. And while thereâs since been much debate about whether working from home is a good thing for employee productivity, itâs certainly a boon for work-life balance.\nMany countries now implement laws around the right to request flexible work, and for moms returning to work following maternity leave, the ability to work remotely â or at least split their time between the office and the home â can make it easier to adjust to being at work again, forgoing challenges like long, day-after-day commutes.\nThis can make things more challenging, of course â it can be difficult to ignore your babyâs cries if youâre in a meeting in the next room, for example â so itâs important to set boundaries for yourself.\nEstablish a pumping routine, if needed\nIf you choose (and youâre able) to breastfeed your little one, going back to work means theyâll no longer have unfettered access to your boob. In most cases, this means youâll need to master the art of pumping while apart from your baby. \nFirst, itâs essential to discuss your need to pump with your employer â if youâre going back into an office, itâs their responsibility to ensure thereâs a private space for you to pump (other than a restroom) and that you have adequate breaks in order to do so â although of course, if you opt for a discreet, hands-free pump such as Elvie Stride, itâs possible to pump at work without even leaving your desk.\nChoosing the right breast pump is important, but itâs equally essential to take it for a âtest runâ or two before returning to work. This will help you get used to the act and routine of pumping before you start to pump âfor realâ.\nSet clear boundaries with your employer\nWhen you return to work after having a baby, itâs likely
7467your working day wonât look exactly the same as it did before â you may have to account for new factors such as childcare arrangements, for example, which might require some added leeway from your employer. It therefore might not be possible for you to stay late at short notice or be available âout of hoursâ.\nYou canât assume your boss will be understanding of your needs, however, and this is why itâs crucial to communicate these clearly in advance of your return to work. Thereâll likely need to be some give and take, but let your employer know in no uncertain terms what you can realistically commit to, to ensure thereâs no ambiguity.\n \nAt the same time, be mindful of how you communicate your needs. Instead of framing them as limitations, you might say: âTo make sure I can be fully present during work hours, Iâll need to leave by 5 PM each day to pick up my child from daycare.â The key is to find a balance that works for you, your family, and your employer.\nEstablish a strong support network\nReturning to work after maternity leave is an emotional transition as much as a logistical one, but you shouldnât have to navigate it alone. Whether itâs your partner, family members, friends, or fellow working moms who understand what youâre going through, surrounding yourself with a solid support system is a crucial part of the adjustment.\nIf possible, try to connect with colleagues who are also parents to exchange advice and support each other through the ups and downs. Some workplaces even have parenting support groups or mentorship programs that can offer additional guidance.\n \nAt home, meanwhile, donât be afraid to delegate tasks. Whether itâs splitting household responsibilities with your partner or seeking additional help from family members, ensuring youâre not carrying the full load alone can ease the burden on you as you return to work.\nCut yourself some slack\nIn an ideal world, youâd settle back into your new (old) routine as if youâd never been away, but the likelihood is the transition wonât be quite so simple. And thatâs okay â even for the most confidently career-minded women, going back to work after giving birth requires a period of adjustment, and may come with a few first-week wobbles.\nYou canât expect yourself to be star employee material on your first day back, and
7467your employer should be mindful of this, too â itâll inevitably take some time for you to get used to spending a full day at work again, and no one can blame you if you forget to unmute yourself in meetings or have to ask a colleague where an important document is stored.\nJust remember to be patient with yourself as you navigate this transition. Just like adjusting to life with a newborn took time, settling back into your professional role will too. Give yourself grace on the tough days, celebrate the small wins, and over time youâll regain confidence in your role and find a balance that works for you and your family.\n", 7468 "datePublished": "2025-02-03 16:00:00 -0800", 7469 "dateModified": "2025-02-03 16:00:00 -0800", 7470 "author": { 7471 "@type": "Person", 7472 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/returning-to-work-after-maternity-leave/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7473 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/returning-to-work-after-maternity-leave/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7474 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7475 "image": { 7476 "@type": "ImageObject", 7477 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/breastpumping-at-work-blog_bea611b9-8231-4602-99c5-fce1d1ff1b39.jpg?v=1752190321", 7478 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/breastpumping-at-work-blog_bea611b9-8231-4602-99c5-fce1d1ff1b39.jpg?v=1752190321" 7479 }, 7480 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/returning-to-work-after-maternity-leave", 7481 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7482 } 7483 , 7484{ 7485 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7486 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-mommy-thumb", 7487 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-mommy-thumb", 7488 "headline":"What is âMommy Thumbâ? How to Recognize \u0026 Treat De Quervain Syndrome", 7489 "name":"What is âMommy Thumbâ? How to Recognize \u0026 Treat De Quervain Syndrome", 7490 "description":"One such pain is De Quervain Syndrome â more commonly referred to as âmommy thumbâ or âmotherâs thumbâ. So, if youâre experiencing unexplained aches and throbs in the wrist area, this is probably whatâs to blame. But what causes mommy thumb? How can you be sure that youâre suffering from it, and when should you seek medical help? Read on and find out.What is âmommy thumbâ\/âmotherâs thumbâ?De Quervainâs Tenosynovitis goes by many names: mommyâs thumb, motherâs thumb, and baby wrist. Itâs a condition caused by an inflammation of the tendons along the thumb side of the wrist. These tendons run through a narrow tunnel at the base of the thumb (you can see them by lifting your thumb up), and when theyâre overused or irritated, the sheath around them flares up and swells. The result? Pain, stiffness and difficulty moving the thumb or wrist. Not much fun. De Quervain Syndrome isnât exclusive to moms â or parents for that matter â but all of the most common actions taken during child rearing (like lifting your little one, supporting their head, and twisting your wrist during nappy changes) can take a toll over time. The good news is that itâs a common condition, and one we know a lot about â making it relatively easy to treat. How long does mommy thumb last?It depends on how quickly you realize youâre suffering from it. Because mommy thumb is an inflammatory ailment, letting it go untreated can increase the severity of the condition. Mild cases might resolve in a few weeks with proper care, while more severe cases could persist for months if left untreated, so itâs best to nip it in the bud!Ignoring the pain and just hoping it'll go away on its own is not the answer. This can â and often will â lead to chronic discomfort, and as weâre sure youâll agree, thatâs not going to be ideal while dealing with a needy tot or yet another sleepless night. In short, listen to your body!What causes De Quervainâs Tenosynovitis?Repetitive strain. When you repeatedly use your wrist and thumb in the same way, youâre putt
7490ing extra pressure on those tendons, which can lead to irritation and inflammation. You might not expect to get injured from doing such small, simple tasks, but over time, these movements can cause real damage. For parents, the most common contributors to De Quervainâs Tenosynovitis include:\nLifting your baby: Newborns might be tiny, but theyâre not weightless, and repeatedly lifting and carrying them can strain your wrist.\nPoor ergonomics: Supporting your babyâs head or holding a bottle at awkward angles can put undue stress on your tendons.\nBreastfeeding positions: Cradling your babyâs head during feeding sessions might require your wrist to stay in a fixed, strained position for extended periods.\nHousehold chores: Activities like folding laundry, chopping vegetables, or even scrolling on your phone can exacerbate the issue.\nHormonal changes: The drop in hormones such as estrogen that occurs postpartum can also make your joints more vulnerable. \nItâs also worth noting that dads can get âmommyâ thumb too â especially if theyâre often picking your baby or toddler up! Will motherâs thumb go away on its own?It depends. In very mild cases, resting your wrist and avoiding the motions responsible for the damage (perhaps easier said than done!) might be enough to resolve the problem. Most cases of motherâs thumb require some form of treatment to heal properly, lest the inflammation gets even worse, causing severe pain and decreased mobility. Not ideal if youâre a new parent â you kind of need your hands â so itâs best to be proactive and seek medical advice if youâre experiencing persistent pain or discomfort.How to treat motherâs thumbWhile mommyâs thumb may go away on its own through giving your hands and wrist a rest (if thatâs even possible), many cases will require some form of treatment. Fortunately, most of these treatment options are fairly straightforward and not particularly invasive. Hereâs a breakdown of your options:Rest and modify your activitiesThe first step is to give your wrist a break. This might mean:\nUsing your forearm to push your pram or lift your baby, instead of your wrist.\nSwitching up feeding positions to reduce strain.\nUsing a baby harness.\nAsking for help with household tasks that require repetitive wrist movements.\nIce therapyBrrrr. Applying an ice pack to the affected area for 10-15 minutes at a time can help reduce swelling and numb the pain. Just be sure to wrap the ice in a cloth to protect your skin.Wrist bracesA thumb spica splint or wrist brace can immobilize your wrist and thumb, giving the inflamed tendons a chance to heal. These are often available at pharmacies or online.Over-the-counter pain reliefNonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Advil, can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if youâre breastfeeding, though!Physical therapyA physical therapist can teach you exercises to strengthen the muscles around your wrist and improve flexibility. They can also show you ways to modify your movements to avoid aggravating the condition.Steroid injectionsHopefully, your case of mommy thumb wonât come to this, but for more severe cases, a doctor might recommend a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation. This is a quick and effective treatment, though itâs typically reserved for cases where other measures havenât worked.Will exercise treat (or prevent) mommy thumb?It can â but itâs always best to check with your doctor before using exercises to relieve your pain. If they give you the all-clear, feel free to try some of the exercises below:Thumb stretches\nHold your hand out with your palm facing up.\nUse your opposite hand to gently pull your thumb back until you feel a stretch.\nHold for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.\nWrist flexor stretch\nExtend your arm in front of you with your palm facing up.\nUse your other hand to gently pull your fingers back toward your body.\nHold the stretch for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.\nThumb oppositionTouch the tip of your thumb to the tip of each finger on the same hand, forming an âOâ shape. Repeat the sequence 5-10 times, focusing on smooth, controlled movements.Tendon gliding exercisesMake a fist with your hand, then slowly extend your fingers outward, one at a time. Return to the starting position and repeat 5-10 times.Grip strengtheningSqueeze a soft stress ball or rolled-up sock for a few seconds, then release. Perform 10-15 repetitions daily, ensuring no sharp pain occurs.When should I see a doctor?If youâve tried at-home remedies and your symptoms arenât improving after a few weeks, itâs time to have a chat with your doctor. If you experience any of the issues below, you should ask for medical help:\nThe pain is severe and interferes with your daily activities.\nYou notice a visible deformity or significant swelling in y
7490our wrist.\nYouâre experiencing numbness or tingling in your fingers, which could indicate nerve involvement.\nMany moms choose not to ask for help for fear of causing a fuss, but if you think somethingâs wrong you should really get it fixed â if not for you, then for your baby! A doctor can assess the severity of your condition and recommend the best course of action. In rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to release the tendons and relieve pressure. Mommy thumb might be an unwelcome addition to your postpartum experience, but the good news is that itâs treatable. With a combination of rest, targeted therapies, and a little patience, youâll be back to cuddling your baby without pain in no time. And remember, itâs okay to ask for help â your hands will thank you for it!", 7491 "datePublished": "2025-01-30 16:00:00 -0800", 7492 "dateModified": "2025-01-30 16:00:00 -0800", 7493 "author": { 7494 "@type": "Person", 7495 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-mommy-thumb/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7496 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-mommy-thumb/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7497 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7498 "image": { 7499 "@type": "ImageObject", 7500 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/New-mum-diary-week-3-16x9-baby-sleeping_95b50f95-82e2-4672-88d5-239e7efaa793.jpg?v=1750955068", 7501 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/New-mum-diary-week-3-16x9-baby-sleeping_95b50f95-82e2-4672-88d5-239e7efaa793.jpg?v=1750955068" 7502 }, 7503 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-mommy-thumb", 7504 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7505 } 7506 , 7507{ 7508 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7509 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-brain", 7510 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-brain", 7511 "headline":"What is âBaby Brainâ? Coping with Postpartum Brain Fog", 7512 "name":"What is âBaby Brainâ? Coping with Postpartum Brain Fog", 7513 "description":"The terms may differ â some people call it âmommy brainâ, while others have dubbed it âpregnancy brainâ, âbaby brainâ, or â and this is our personal fave â âmomnesiaâ. What gives? Is parenthood going to turn your mind to mush? Does raising a newborn doom all those hard-earned IQ points to plummet? Well, no, not exactly â itâs a little more complicated than that.Postpartum brain fog is a real thing, but if youâll pardon the pun, itâs nothing to lose your marbles over.Is baby brain brain real?Yes â very real!Numerous studies have delved into the phenomenon of âbaby brainâ or âmommy brainâ. And while itâs not entirely understood, researchers do agree that cognitive changes during and after pregnancy do happen.For example, one study published in Nature Neuroscience found that pregnancy causes long-lasting structural changes in the brain â including the areas related to social cognition, bonding, and memory. And since around 80% of moms report some degree of memory loss, this might explain why many parents are far more adept at attending to their babyâs needs rather than, say, remembering where they put their car keysâ¦But before you start despairing, itâs important to know that these changes arenât permanent. Your intelligence wonât suddenly take a nose dive. In fact, some parents donât notice any cognitive decline whatsoever, and while you might notice changes in some areas, these neural shifts also correlate with nesting behaviors and parental bonding.In other words, itâs best to think of baby brain as more of a temporary rejig â a reallocation of grey matter resources, pumping more power to the more crucial parts of the brain. What causes baby brain?Thereâs no single cause of baby brain, and because research is rather limited, pinpointing the most likely factors is more educated guess than evidence-based, but at present, science puts it down to:\nHormonal changes: Pregnancy and postpartum bring about significant hormonal shifts, particularly in oestrogen and progesterone. The
7513se hormones can affect brain function, mood, and memory.\nSleep deprivation: Letâs face it â uninterrupted sleep is nigh-on impossible with a newborn, and being sleep deprived can have a profound impact on cognitive function, making it harder to concentrate and remember things.\nStress and anxiety: Caring for a baby can be stressful, and chronic stress can impair your ability to focus and process information.\nChanges in priorities: Your brain is rewiring itself to prioritize your babyâs needs, which might mean other things temporarily take a backseat.\nPhysical and emotional exhaustion: The physical toll of pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn can leave you feeling mentally drained.\nWhat are the symptoms of mommy brain?The symptoms of mommy or baby brain can feel a bit like the mental equivalent of walking through a foggy field: everythingâs a bit slower, a bit harder to grasp. You might find yourself blanking on names, dates, or even why you walked into a room; arguably one of the most frustrating aspects of the whole experience.Of course, the symptoms â and their severity â differ from one mom to the next. On top of forgetfulness, you might feel a general sense of mental sluggishness. Concentration might take a hit â things like reading a book or focusing on a task can feel far more taxing than usual. How to manage the symptoms of baby brainYou might not be able to prevent postpartum brain fog, but fortunately, there are plenty of ways to manage the symptoms. For example:Get plenty of sleepYes, we know this is easier said than done when youâre up all night feeding or soothing your little one. But, if at all possible, try to sleep when your baby sleeps, even if it means taking naps during the day. Sleep is essential for cognitive function, and even small increments can make a difference.

Stay organizedTry to write things down, set reminders on your phone, or use a planner to keep track of appointments and to-do lists. Apps like Google Keep or Notion can be lifesavers for managing the chaos of parenthood, but your solutions donât need to be high-tech. Post-it notes, wall calendars, or even just a hastily scribbled message on the back of your hand â use whatever works for you!Exercise regularlyEven just a simple stroll around the block can do wonders for your mental clarity. Exercise boosts endorphins and improves blood flow to the brain, helping to alleviate stress and improve focus. Giving your tot a little outdoor time can help to regulate their sleep cycle, too â improving your chances of catching a few more ZZZs of your own!Eat brain-boosting foodsA balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in salmon and walnuts), antioxidants (like berries), and whole grains can support brain health. Supplements are an option, too â but always check that theyâre safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding, and consult your doctor just to be on the safe side!Stay hydratedDehydration is notorious for exasperating brain fog, so donât forget to drink plenty of water! The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women drink 8 to 12 cups (64 to 96 ounces) of water every day. What does brain fog feel like?Brain fog is often described as a mental cloudiness or a sense of being âout of itâ. You might feel like your thoughts are moving through treacle, or that youâre constantly one step behind. Tasks that once felt second nature may now seem daunting, and you might find yourself forgetting even the simplest things, like why you walked into a room.How long does postpartum brain fog last?Thereâs no definitive timeline for how long baby brain lasts, as it varies from person to person. For some, the symptoms begin to improve a few months after giving birth, while for others, they may linger for up to a year or more. Factors like sleep, stress levels, and overall health can all influence how quickly you recover.The good news is that your brain does bounce back. The cognitive changes associated with pregnancy and postpartum are temporary, and some studies suggest that having a baby may even enhance certain skills, like emotional intelligence and multitasking, in the long run.Baby brain, while frustrating, is an inevitable part of most momsâ parenting journeys. Instead of trying to fight it, itâs better to embrace the change, and adapt your daily habits to lessen the impacts as best you can. With time, a little patience, and plenty of self

However, there comes a point in some parentsâ journey where the levels of emotional strain donât fall within a manageable range. \nIf youâre fretting day in and day out, and your parenting worries have become all-consuming, youâre likely suffering from postpartum anxiety. In this article, weâll explain everything you need to know about the condition â including what you can do to combat it.\nWhat is postpartum anxiety?\nPostpartum anxiety (PPA) is when the usual ânew parent nervesâ get dialed up to an extreme level. Itâs more than just feeling a little worried or stressed. Itâs an almost constant sense of fear, unease, or panic that can make everyday life feel overwhelming. You might find your thoughts racing, your heart pounding, or yourself feeling restless and on edge.\nA lot of the anxiety tends to focus on your baby â are they okay? Are you doing enough as a parent? But it can also spill over into other areas of life, making it hard to focus or relax. Some parents also deal with intrusive thoughts â unwanted, upsetting ideas that pop into your mind out of nowhere and leave you feeling rattled.\nWhat does postpartum anxiety feel like?\nImagine being stuck in a loop of âwhat ifâ scenarios. What if my baby stops breathing in their sleep? What if Iâm not feeding them properly? What if Iâm not good enough as a parent? \nGiven the lack of peace and quiet all around you, having this unwelcome soundtrack playing at full blast in your mind can be really tough to deal with. \nPhysically, postpartum anxiety can feel like your body is always on high alert â a little like someoneâs flicked on the fight or flight switch in your head. You might notice tension in your shoulders or jaw, an upset stomach, or an inability to sit still. Sleep might be difficult, too â not because your babyâs refusing to switch off (though thatâs always a risk!), but because your brain simply wonât wind down. Not fun.\nIn a nutshell, postpartum anxiety can be isolating and exhausting in equal measures â but itâs important not to feel guilty for struggling. Itâs always best to seek help.\nHow common is postpartum anxiety?\nWhile postpartum depression often gets more attention, postpartum anxiety is just as common. Studies estimate that around 11-21% of new moms experience postpartum anxiety, although some experts believe the number could be higher due to underreporting.\nItâs also worth mentioning that postpartum anxiety doesnât exclusively affect moms. Fathers and non-birthing parents can also experience anxiety after the arrival of a baby, due to the shift in lifestyle, changes in responsibilities, and of course, sleep deprivation. Parenthood is tough, so even if youâre dealing with all the chaos just fine, itâs important to check in with your partner.\nWhatâs the difference between postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression?\nTheyâre often talked about together â and mistakenly confused as one in the same â but PPA and PPD are distinct conditions. \
7536n\n\nPPD tends to involve feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in the things you used to enjoy. You might feel disconnected from your baby, or unsure of your ability to care for them or bond with them.\n\n\nPPA is more to do with fear and worry. Itâs a hyper-alert, nervous, jittery feeling. The sensation of always being âon-edgeâ. That said, the two conditions can overlap, and itâs possible to experience both at once.\n\n\n \nItâs also crucial not to confuse the baby blues with either of the conditions mentioned above. Feeling a bit down or tearful in the first week after giving birth is incredibly common, but if your symptoms last longer than two weeks, thereâs a strong chance youâre suffering from PPA or PPD.\nHow long does it take for postpartum anxiety to go away?\nThereâs no set timeline or recovery period for postpartum anxiety. For some parents the symptoms may ease up after only a few weeks, while for others, the feeling may linger for months â particularly if no help is sought.\nPostpartum anxiety can (and should) be treated, so if youâre not feeling like yourself and itâs interfering with your ability to care for your tot and enjoy your new chapter, itâs crucial that you reach out for help sooner rather than later.\nWhat are the symptoms of postpartum anxiety?\nPostpartum anxiety can show up in different ways for different people, but some common signs include:\n\n\nWorrying constantly, especially about your babyâs safety or your parenting skills.\n\n\nIntrusive thoughts that wonât go away, no matter how hard you try.\n\n\nFeeling physically tense, like a racing heart, sweaty palms, or a tight chest.\n\n\nStruggling to concentrate or feeling scatterbrained.\n\n\nHaving trouble relaxing, even when everything seems fine.\n\n\nFinding it hard to sleep, even when the babyâs sleeping.\n\n\n \nIf any of this sounds familiar and itâs making life harder than
7536it needs to be, itâs time to think about getting some extra support.\nWhat causes postpartum anxiety?\nThereâs no single cause of postpartum anxiety. Itâs a mix of all kinds of things: hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and the sheer pressure of taking care of a tiny human. Parenting is a lot.\nAfter giving birth, your hormone levels drop dramatically (particularly your levels of estrogen and progestogen), and this can mess with your mood and make you far more prone to stress. \nLack of sleep is another big one. Being up at all hours with a newborn can leave you feeling frazzled and make it harder to keep your worries in check. And to make matters worse, societyâs pressure to be the perfect parent doesnât help much â especially in the age of social media. Parental doomscrolling is a thing. \nOther influencing factors may include a history of anxiety, mental health issues, or a tough birth experience.\nWhat are the risk factors for postpartum anxiety?\nSome things can increase your chances of dealing with postpartum anxiety, such as:\n\n\nA personal or family history of anxiety, depression, or other mental health struggles.\n\n\nComplications during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.\n\n\nHaving a premature or medically fragile baby.\n\n\nNot having enough support from family or friends.\n\n\nStressful situations, like money troubles or relationship issues.\n\n\nChallenges with breastfeeding or adjusting to your new role as a parent.\n\n\n \nJust because you have one or more of these risk factors doesnât mean postpartum anxiety is a given, but itâs good to be aware so you can take steps to look after yourself.\nManaging postpartum anxiety\nDealing with postpartum anxiety can feel overwhelming , but there are ways to manage the symptoms. Of course, itâs always best to seek professional support, but these factors can help too:\n\n\nSleep: Donât underestimate the power of sleep. Itâs easier said than done with a newborn, but even short naps can make a big difference. Try swapping shifts with a partner or asking a friend or family member to help out so you can grab some rest.\n\n\nTalking it out: Talking to someone you trust is also huge. Whether itâs a partner, friend, or therapist, sharing how youâre feeling can lighten the load. If therapy feels like a good step, look into postpartum specialists who can guide you through tailored strategies to manage anxiety.\n\n\nDeep breathing: Deep breathing exercises or mindfulness practices can be game-changers for calming your racing mind. Even just a few minutes a day of focused breathing or guided meditation can help reset your stress levels.\n\n\nBeing fair to yourself: Set realistic expectations for yourself. You donât have to be a perfect parent (spoiler: nobody is!). Focus on small wins, like accomplishing a household chore or getting your baby off to sleep soundly, and try to let go of the pressure to do it all.\n\n\n \nPostpartum anxiety is tough, but itâs so important not to suffer through it alone. Talk to your friends, lean on your family, and take things one day at a time. With time things will get better, but in the meantime, donât be afraid to seek help.\n", 7537 "datePublished": "2025-01-30 16:00:00 -0800", 7538 "dateModified": "2025-01-30 16:00:00 -0800", 7539 "author": { 7540 "@type": "Person", 7541 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-anxiety/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7542 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-anxiety/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7543 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7544 "image": { 7545 "@type": "ImageObject", 7546 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/woman-wrapped-in-blanket_3971dbd2-f839-4a79-8139-c219960a5332.jpg?v=1752190353", 7547 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/woman-wrapped-in-blanket_3971dbd2-f839-4a79-8139-c219960a5332.jpg?v=1752190353" 7548 }, 7549 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/postpartum-anxiety", 7550 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7551 } 7552 , 7553{ 7554 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7555 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/reasons-your-baby-is-not-napping", 7556 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/reasons-your-baby-is-not-napping", 7557 "headline":"6 Reasons Your Baby is Not Napping â And How to Solve Them",
7558 "name":"6 Reasons Your Baby is Not Napping â And How to Solve Them", 7559 "description":"1. Theyâre overtired\nOne of the most common culprits behind a totâs refusal to nap? Overtiredness.\nBut how can being too tired prevent a baby from sleeping?\nWhile it might seem strange, overtiredness can be just as disruptive as getting too much sleep. Of course, itâs not the end of the world if your baby misses a nap âwindowâ, and they wonât instantly move beyond tiredness into an irretrievable state of sleep refusal, but being awake for too long can sometimes make it more difficult for them to wind down.\nThe first step to preventing overtiredness is paying close attention to your babyâs sleep cues. Signs like yawning and eye rubbing indicate that your baby is ready for a nap. But itâs equally important to focus on soothing techniques when they are tired â activities such as gentle rocking or a soothing lullaby can help them settle to sleep, even if you miss those early cues.\n2. Theyâre not tired\nOn the flip side, sometimes babies simply arenât tired enough to fall asleep. If your baby has recently woken up from a long sleep, or if they havenât been active enough during their wake window, they might not feel the need to nap. Babies â like us adults â need to expend energy before theyâre ready to rest.\nMaking sure they are really tired enough for bedtime is key â you want their adenosine (the hormone that promotes âsleep driveâ) to be high enough; so if in doubt, putting them to bed 10-15 mins later can make all the difference.\nItâs also important to ensure they have plenty of engaging, age-appropriate playtime and stimulation during their wake windows. For younger tots, this might include tummy time or sensory activities, while older babies might benefit from some supervised exploration, or a session in a jumper.\nOutdoor time can be super helpful, too, as exposure to natural light helps to keep your little oneâs internal clock ticking over properly, and will help them to build a more solid sleep schedule.\n3. They need changing\nA wet or dirty diaper is another common reason for napping issues. Itâs not hard to see why â would you want to fall asleep in a soiled diaper?!\nFortunately, avoiding this scenario is very simple â just ensure your tot has a fresh diaper before every nap. And if your baby tends to wet their diaper through quickly, consider using a more absorbent overnight diaper, or adding a removable âboosterâ pad.\nThis said, if your baby is still refusing to nap despite their sparkling clean underwear, double-check the rest of their outfit. Could they be too hot? Too cold? Adjust accordingly, and your little one should find it much easier to drift off.\n4: Theyâre in âsleep regressionâ\nThe infamous 4-month sleep regression can wreak havoc on even the best baby sleep routines. During this phase, your babyâs sleep patterns mature, becoming more like those of an adult. While this is a normal and healthy developmental milestone, it often leads to shorter naps and more frequent night wakings.\nThe key to surviving the 4-month sleep regression is consistency. Stick to your babyâs regular sleep schedule as much as possible, and continue with their usual nap and bedtime routines. Offering extra soothing during this time, such as rocking, patting, or using white noise, can help ease the transition.\nRemember, this regression is temporary, and with patience and persistence, your baby will return to more predictable sleep patterns in a few weeks.\n5. They need a calmer sleeping environment\nBabies are unbelievably sensitive to their surroundings, and an overstimulating environment can make it difficult for them to settle down and get some shuteye. Bright lights, loud noises, or even certain odors can all affect their sleep.\nCreating a calming environment is essential. Here are some of the ways you can help create the perfect sleep environment for your little one:\n\n\nDarken the room with blackout curtains\n\n\nUse white noise to mask background sounds\n\n\nKeep the temperature at a comfortable, cozy level â ideally between 68â72°F (20â22°C)\n\n\nIntroduce a soothing pre-nap routine with calming activities like reading or a lullaby\n\n\nEstablish a consistent sleep schedule, including naps, to promote a healthy routine\n\n\n6. They need a better schedule\nBabies thrive on routine, and an inconsistent or misaligned nap schedule can lead to frequent battles at naptime. If your babyâs naps are too short or too far apart, they may struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep.\nTo create an effective schedule, start by determining your babyâs age-appropriate nap needs. For example, newborns might need four or more naps a day, while older babies might consolidate to two or three.\nStick to the same wake-up time each morning and aim for consistent nap times, adjusting slightly as needed to align with their natural sleep rhythms. Over time, your baby will come to expect naps at the same times each day, making the process much smoother.\nHow often should my baby nap?\nThe number of naps your baby needs varies by age. Newborns, for example, can sleep for around 16-18 hours a day (lucky or what?!), spread across several naps throughout the day and night. By 6 months of age, most babies take 2-3 naps per day, totaling around 3-4 hours of daytime sleep â though itâs very individual and can be much less than this! As they approach their first birthday, most tots will be happy with just a single nap a day.\nNot all babies are the same, though. Some might drop naps earlier or later than average, so donât be too concerned if your little oneâs naps are a little out of the âordinaryâ. And if you do suspect something else is at play, try keeping a sleep diary â this can help you track patterns, and can prove invaluable should you choose to consult a pediatrician later on down the line.\nShould I put my baby to bed early if theyâve missed a nap?\nYes, putting your baby to bed earlier can often help compensate for a missed nap. When babies miss naps, they accumulate âsleep debt,â which can make it harder for them to settle at bedtime. Moving bedtime forward by 15-30 minutes can help offset this.\nHowever, be mindful not to push bedtime too early, as this could lead to an early-morning wake-up. Striking the right balance is key, and you may
7559need to experiment to find the sweet spot for your baby. If they seem especially overtired, a calming bedtime routine such as a warm bath and a soothing lullaby can help them wind down.\nIs it normal for babies to fight naps?\nOf course! Nap resistance is a common issue, and can be affected by all sorts of factors; teething, growth spurts, sleep regression, overstimulation, overtiredness â you name it.\nBut while it can be frustrating, itâs typically a phase that passes with time. Moreover, sometimes itâs worth relenting and simply getting on with your day â get out and about with your baby and if they fall asleep in their pram or in the sling, thatâs okay! You donât need to spend all day in a dark room waiting for them to nap at the expense of your mental health.\nNaptime can certainly be tricky, but with patience, adaptability, and a little consistency, youâll find a rhythm that works for both you and your baby.

Keeping your child safe and happy while balancing the everyday demands of adult life is no mean feat. And if youâre juggling a full-time career, raising your child as a single parent, or you already suffer from mental health issues, mom burnout is even more likely. \nIf youâre struggling, remember that youâre not alone. Recent research found that more than half (57%) of parents are burned out. Raising a child may be one of the most rewarding life experiences, but itâs also regarded as one of the most difficult, so donât beat yourself up if youâre feeling like itâs all getting a bit much.\n \nBut while thereâs no magic cure for mom burnout, there are ways to minimize its impact on your day-to-day life.\nWhat is mom burnout?\nMom burnout (sometimes referred to as parental burnout) is a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion caused by the chronic stress of parenting.\n \nItâs particularly challenging to deal with because, unlike the stress of a 9-5 job, its cause cannot be so easily escaped. There are no weekends off, and the day doesnât end at 5 PM. Youâre in it for the long haul, and this realization alone can often feel overwhelming.\nUnlike general stress, mom burnout isnât just about being overworked or tired â itâs a much deeper sense of depletion. You might feel detached from your role as a parent, for example. Some parents describe the level of exhaustion as feeling like theyâre ârunning on fumesâ. In other words, itâs the kind of stress that canât be solved by a quick nap or a 15-minute stroll.\n \nIs mom burnout the same as postpartum depression?\nNo. While mom burnout and PPD share some overlapping symptoms, theyâre not the same thing. Postpartum depression is a clinical condition that often requires professional attention. Parental burnout isnât officially recognized as a mental health condition, but that doesnât make it any less real. \nRemember: Mood changes and feelings of anxiety or unhappiness lasting longer than 2 weeks post-birth may be signs of postpartum depression. If your low mood is accompanied by thoughts about hurting yourself or your baby, or youâre unable to manage you and your babyâs essential daily needs, call your doctor, nurse, or midwife.\nHow do I tell if Iâm suffering from mom burnout?\nRaising a little one is tricky even when youâve got all of the support you need, but for parents contending with factors like demanding careers, judgemental families, or a lack of stability, burnout is even more likely.\nThe bottom line is that while certain things might increase its likelihood, parental burnout can impact anyone, and it doesnât mean youâre failing as a mom. In fact, itâs quite the opposite â most of the stress youâre feeling can be traced back to an intense desire to give your baby the best life possible!\n \nYou might be suffering from parental burnout if you experience any of the following:\nA short temper and feelings of rage\nFind yourself snapping at your partner, babyâs older siblings, or even your newborn over minor issues? Irritability is a hallmark of mom burnout, and is often linked to extreme fatigue.\nFatigue\nThis isnât your run-of-the-mill tiredness, nor is it the kind that a quick nap on the sofa will solve. This is the kind of exhaustion that goes right through to your core. Some parents report feeling âzombifiedâ. If the lights are on but no-oneâs home, and everyday tasks feel utterly insurmountable, youâre fatigued â and thatâs a strong sign of mom burnout.\nFeeling inadequate as a parent\nThe fatigue and stress that accompany parental burnout often amplify anxiety or feelings of self
7582-doubt. You might feel like youâre failing at parenting, or even falsely assume that your friends or partner see you as an inadequate mom. These thoughts can be hard to shake, and it can be tricky to convince yourself that theyâre incorrect.\nFeeling âemptyâ\nThis is one of the most common symptoms of parental burnout. You might feel detached or emotionally ânumbâ, and this can have a knock-on impact. You may choose to withdraw from your friends, or fail to engage with your baby during tummy time, for example.\nFeeling isolated\nYou might feel like youâre the only one struggling â that youâre all alone in your parenting journey â and this immense pressure can have a huge impact. If you lack a support network or struggle to share your feelings with friends and family, this can exacerbate things.\nQuestioning your choice to become a parent\nIf youâre secretly wondering whether having a baby was the right decision, be assured that this isnât unusual. Research suggests anywhere from 5-14% of parents have had these feelings â though weâd wager the prevalence is likely even higher.\nBe assured that these feelings are not a reflection of your love for your child â itâs just a sign that youâre feeling burned out and in need of support.\nDecreased productivity\nIf thoughts of working through your to-do list are tear-inducing, and simple chores feel monumental, this is another sign that youâre burned out.\nOther types of mom burnout\nBecause mom burnout isnât something medically diagnosed, it can look and feel different from one parent to the next. Below, weâve outlined a few situations that may increase the likelihood of chronic stress and exhaustion.\nStay-at-home mom burnout\nStay-at-home parenting has a variety of benefits, but the constant availability and âalways onâ nature of it often leads to burnout. While attitudes are changing, society is often ignorant to the burden of home-bound moms. When youâre in the trenches of new parenthood (especially if youâre raising your first child) itâs easy to feel like your work isnât appreciated, and this can intensify feelings of exhaustion and frustration.\nADHD mom burnout\nIf youâre a mom with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) the chaotic whirlwind of parenting can feel even more turbulent. Constant mental juggling, interruptions, and few opportunities for downtime may increase symptoms like forgetfulness, difficulty focusing, and impulsivity, leaving you doubly drained.\nNew mom burnout\nNew moms can sometimes find that the steep leaning curve involved with caring for a newborn creates the perfect storm for burnout. Pair this with a lack of sleep, hormonal changes, and the sudden shift in relationship dynamics â all the usual suspects â and itâs easy to see why it can be such an overwhelming experience.\nHow to recover from mom burnout\nYouâre feeling worn-out, used-up, and run-down. What now? Much like the physical recovery process from childbirth, your mind needs time to adjust to your exciting-but-terrifying new normal. Your transition to motherhood isnât complete as soon as your baby is born; itâs an ongoing journey â and not one that can be rushed. \nThis said, there are some things you can do to ease your exhaustion and lighten the load.\nLean on your support network\nAsking for assistance can feel awkward â we get it â but if youâre fortunate enough to have a support network, thereâs no shame in using it. When youâre burned out, one of the best things you can do is reach out to friends, family, or trusted colleagues. \nWhether itâs requesting an hour of babysitting, having a frank discussion with your partner about parenting responsibilities, or simply venting to another mom, a problem shared is a problem halved, so donât hold back!\nManaging without a support network\nDonât struggle alone. If youâre parenting without support, consider reaching out for help via the following methods:\n\n\nJoin local parenting groups: Try visiting your local parent meet-up or support group. Thereâs plenty to be gained just by chatting with other parents in similar situations, and these groups provide a safe space to share advice and make lifelong friendships.\n\n\nConnect with other parents online: Online forums such as Mumsnet (UK-based but US-friendly!) or r\/singlemoms are a lifeline for parents all over the world â and ideal if the thought of an in-person meeting gives you the heebie-jeebies.\n\n\nSeek a helping hand: If resources allow, consider hiring a babysitter, nanny, or postpartum doula to give yourself some breathing room. Alternatively, look into local childcare co-ops or sliding-scale daycare options.\n\n\nSwitch up your approach to parenting\nParenting isnât about achieving perfection; itâs about doing the best and adapting as you go. In fact, if weâre being less charitable, we might even say that a large chunk of motherhood is simply winging it. \nIn other words, donât hold yourself to impossibly high standards. If youâre feeling overwhelmed, it might be time to take a step back and reassess your approach.\nTry to set realistic expectations for yourself and your child. You canât be everything to everyone, nor should you try to. Accept that, for now at least, you and your baby are the most important people in your life. \nAim to simplify your routines where you can. If breastfeeding is proving painful (and consequently sending your stress levels into orbit) consider expressing your milk and bottle-feeding instead. If your babyâs bedtime schedule is chaotic, try introducing a relaxing nighttime routine â this may help your tot to drift off more predictably. Tweak the things you can control, and you might just find that the bigger issues â emotional turbulence and physical exh
7582austion, for example â resolve themselves.\nTry to prioritize self-care\nWhen a tiny human is dependent on you for everything, taking care of yourself is often the least of your priorities. But while finding time in the day for a little âyou timeâ is easier said than done, neglecting self-care is only likely to exacerbate feelings of burnout.\nSelf-care doesnât necessarily mean booking an entire spa day or indulging in a full-blown pamper session; it simply means carving out a little time for yourself in between your caregiving responsibilities.\nOf course, it helps to have a supportive partner or close family member who can step in and give you a break from time to time, but even snatching a few moments to yourself while your baby naps can make a world of difference to your physical and mental health.\nPerhaps youâll use the time to run yourself a hot bath, for example, or maybe just catch up on a little reading. In any case, itâs important to remember that youâre not just a caregiver â and thereâs nothing selfish about focusing on yourself, even if itâs just for a few minutes every day.\nSeek mental health support\nDonât suffer in silence. If youâre feeling overwhelmed, talking to a qualified professional â be it a doctor, midwife, counsellor or therapist â can help make it much easier to cope. Get in touch with your local clinic, or try contacting one of the following organizations for support:\n\n\n\nPostpartum Support International\n\n\nNational Parent \u0026amp; Youth Helpline\n\n\nHow do I explain mom burnout to my partner?\nStart by describing, to the best of your abilities, how you feel. Use concrete examples, like how youâve been feeling more tired or irritable than usual, and explain that itâs not about them or your love for your child â itâs about the mental and emotional load youâre carrying.\nBe specific about what you need. For example, you might say, âIâd really appreciate it if you could take over bedtime duties a few nights a weekâ or, âCould we schedule some alone time for me on the weekends?â Your partner canât help if they donât know what youâre going through or how they can pitch in.\nItâs also worth pointing out that addressing mom burnout benefits the whole family. A happier, healthier you means a happier, healthier home environment.\nWhen should you seek help for mom burnout?\nIf your feelings of burnout are persistent and interfering with your ability to function, itâs time to seek help, as you may be suffering from postpartum depression. \nYou should contact your doctor or midwife if you experience any of the following symptoms: \n\n\nIntense feelings of sadness or hopelessness.\n\n\nDifficulty bonding with your baby.\n\n\nPhysical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or sleep disturbances that donât improve.\n\n\nThoughts of self-harm or harming your child.\n\n\n \nMom burnout is real, but itâs also not insurmountable. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time, and recognize that stress is a natural, normal part of parenting. What matters is how you manage it, and by taking care of yourself â and leaning on others â youâll make it through.\n ", 7583 "datePublished": "2025-01-29 16:00:00 -0800", 7584 "dateModified": "2025-01-29 16:00:00 -0800", 7585 "author": { 7586 "@type": "Person", 7587 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-prevent-mom-burnout/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7588 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-prevent-mom-burnout/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7589 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7590 "image": { 7591 "@type": "ImageObject", 7592 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/working-form-home-mum-blog_thumb_60fbbe20-3b32-4797-8278-a44414505d76.jpg?v=1752190198", 7593 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/working-form-home-mum-blog_thumb_60fbbe20-3b32-4797-8278-a44414505d76.jpg?v=1752190198" 7594 }, 7595 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-prevent-mom-burnout", 7596 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7597 } 7598 , 7599{ 7600 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7601 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/preparing-for-motherhood", 7602 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/preparing-for-motherhood", 7603 "headline":"Preparing for Motherhood: Tips for a First-Time Mom", 7604 "name":"Preparing for Motherhood: Tips for a First-Time Mom", 7605 "description":"Suddenly, youâre responsible for the health and wellbeing of an actual human being â one whoâs completely dependent on you for at least the first few years of their life â and your once comparatively serene, independent, and routine-driven existence is turned upside down.\nAs a woman, the transition from mom-to-be to mom is often paved with as many blissful highs as it is formidable challenges â bonding with your baby can be a uniquely fulfilling experience, but being mom to a little one invariably means having to cope with sleep deprivation, emotional highs and lows, and a struggle to retain your own identity.\nOf course, thereâs no blueprint for becoming the âperfectâ parent â perfection is an unattainable myth, anyway â and itâs nigh-on impossible to feel truly ready for all the ups and downs motherhood has to offer, but it pays to equip yourself with as much knowledge as possible before your little life-transforming bundle of chaos and joy arrives.\n \nPreparing for your first baby? Wondering what to expect as a new mom? Read on as we offer our best advice for adapting to motherhood.\nChallenges new moms face\nNo one who ever brought a child into the world would say itâs a walk in the park. Though your experience as a parent is likely to be punctuated by many euphoric highs (more on those shortly), adapting to caring for a newborn isnât without profound challenges â from the physical changes your body experiences to the impact of factors like sleep deprivation.\nHere are just some of the adversities youâll likely face as a new mom:\n\n\nRecovering physically from childbirth. Growing a human inside your body â and then pushing them out of it â is a huge physical undertaking. Or, if you undergo a caes
7605arean, youâll be dealing with recovery from major surgery. Regardless of your birth type, during your postpartum recovery, you may experience aftereffects such as vaginal bleeding, sore breasts, thinning hair, and a more frequent need to pee.\n\n\nAdapting to a whole new set of responsibilities. Becoming a mom for the first time can almost literally turn your life upside down â youâll be forced to adapt to a completely new routine, navigate changes in relationships, and balance caring for a newborn with self-care and other day-to-day responsibilities.\n\n\nExperiencing emotional ups and downs. Only around 15% of new moms will experience postpartum depression, but even for those who donât, hormonal changes often result in fluctuations in mood â you may feel confident and full of ecstasy one minute, and dejected and questioning your own self-worth the next.\n\n\nCoping with a lack of sleep. Ask any new parent how theyâre feeling and their immediate response is likely to be âtiredâ. Newborns wake frequently in the night to feed â usually around every 2-4 hours â which means your sleep will inevitably be interrupted and youâll often feel fatigued and drained of energy.\n\n\nFeeling self-conscious about body changes. While your post-baby body should be seen as a badge of honor considering the monumental feat youâve just achieved, many new moms feel self-conscious about the way their bodies look after giving birth â their breasts may change size and shape, for example, and stretch marks may appear.\n\n\nStruggling with a loss of identity. Becoming a mother means taking on a whole new role, and some moms feel their pre-pregnancy identity disappearing â relationships with friends may evolve, for example, and you may have to sacrifice some of the things you loved doing before you became a parent.\n\n\nThe beautiful parts of motherhood\nBecoming a new mom isnât all mood swings and sleepless nights, however â for every obstacle and setback, there are often many more beautiful, life-affirming, and undeniably entertaining moments that make the challenges worth enduring. When it feels like the weight of the universe is on your shoulders, remember â so many aspects of motherhood are filled with joy.\nHere are just a few of the wondrous upsides of becoming a mom:\n\n\n\nHolding your baby for the first time. There are few moments that will fill you with a sense of emotion and achievement than the first time you hold your baby in your arms. Every ounce of hard work, pain, and anxiety youâve likely endured will suddenly pale in comparison to the new-found glow youâre feeling.\n\n\nBuilding an unbreakable bond. While bonding can be a gradual process and doesnât happen instantly for everyone, the mutual feeling of attachment that develops between you and your baby is often one of the most rewarding aspects of being a mom. You may come to question whether youâve ever loved anything as much.\n\n\nWatching your baby grow and develop. Though it can feel like the early years fly by in an instant, theyâre filled with exciting milestones. Of course, some of these (like teething) can be challenging, but many of these moments â such as when they learn to crawl, walk, and say their first words â will fill you with pride and elation.\n\n\nExperiencing their sense of awe. For a baby discovering the world for the first time, almost every day brings a new adventure. Seeing the amazement in their eyes when they witness something youâd otherwise consider quite unspectacular â their own reflection, for example â can bring joy to everyday moments.\n\n\nFeeling a renewed purpose. Though some new moms grapple with what they feel is a loss of identity, many thrive on the new sense of purpose being a caregiver can bring. After all, raising a child is the ultimate responsibility, and it can be incredibly fulfilling to nurture, guide, and witness your little oneâs development.\n\n\nStrengthening relationships with others. Many new moms say that having a baby gives them a new sense of respect and appreciation for their own mother, which often solidifies the mother-daughter bond. Of course, your own mom is often your biggest source of support during your childâs early years, too.\n\n\nTips for new mothers: what should every first-time mom know?\nAs weâve pointed out, thereâs no step-by-step instruction manual that tells you everything you need to do to prepare for having a baby, and no list of advice can be exhaustive or exact since no two momsâ experiences will be identical. \nThis said, there are some things we feel all new or expectant moms should know before embarking on this remarkable journey:\nEstablish a supp
7605ort network\nBeing a new mom can feel isolating, especially if your partner has returned to work and most of your daily interaction is with a tiny person who canât speak and spends most of their time sleeping. This is why itâs so important to have a reliable network of people you can call upon any time you need support, advice, or youâre just craving some adult company.\nYour support network might include:\n\n\nFamily and friends. Your partner, parents, friends, and other family members can all help in their own ways, from providing you with a much-needed break by taking over responsibilities â whether thatâs caregiving or cleaning â to simply being there for a chat when you need it.\n\n\nHealthcare providers. Qualified professionals such as your midwife, doctor, and doula can provide information and support during and after pregnancy. A lactation consultant can help if you need any breastfeeding-related advice.\n\n\nSupport groups. During pregnancy, antenatal support groups can help prepare you for what childbirth has in store while helping you connect with other expectant parents. After pregnancy, joining a mother and baby group enables you to socialize with other parents and little ones.\n\n\nSet boundaries with friends and family\nWhen you have a baby, loved ones are often itching to meet the new arrival â itâs an exciting time when a close friend or family member welcomes a new person into the world, and letâs face it, babies are darn cute. \nBut while you may be glad of the company, welcoming frequent visitors can be draining (for you and your baby, although theyâll likely sleep through many social calls), especially in the first few days as youâre still getting used to your new routine.\nWho you allow to visit and when is up to you, and you shouldnât feel pressured to accept requests from friends and family until you feel good and ready. Of course, it goes without saying that you should discourage visits from anyone who is feeling under the weather, as this could put your baby at risk of illness.\nTry not to neglect self-care\nRemembering to take good care of yourself as well as your little one is one of many motherhood-related factors that can be filed under âeasier said than doneâ â because when so much of your day is taken up by feeding, changing, washing, and soothing your baby, how can you possibly find a spare few minutes for self-care?\nWhile itâs a difficult balancing act, dedicating even just a few moments each day â when your baby is taking a nap, for instance â to yourself can be hugely beneficial for your mental health and overall wellbeing as you adapt to your new role as a caregiver.\n \nYou might engage in some gentle exercise such as yoga, for example, run yourself a hot bath, or simply take an opportunity to put your feet up and watch television or read a book. Though it can feel like it, self-care is never selfish.\nFor more advice on looking after your own wellbeing, check out our guide to postpartum self-care.\nDonât be afraid to ask for (and accept) help\nWe may love to romanticize the idea of the mighty, multitasking âsupermomâ, but no mom should have to go it alone â after all, they say it takes a village to raise a child.\nThis said, some moms can feel reluctant to admit they need help, fearing this makes them a failure or reflects an inability to juggle the challenges of caring for a baby. This couldnât be further from the truth, however â thereâs absolutely no shame in either accepting help when itâs offered or asking for support when things are getting a little too much.\nRemember your support network. If you have a partner, communicate openly about how youâre feeling â are there other ways they can support you? Reach out to your family and friends, even if itâs just for a chat about anything not involving dirty diapers. And if you need some more professional advice, make an appointment with your doctor or health worker.\nTrust your instincts\nAs a new mom, itâs inevitable that parenting âadviceâ will come from all angles â your friends, close family members, and even occasional strangers will likely all have their own ideas about whatâs best for you and your baby.\nBut while most of this advice will be well-intentioned, the fact that someone else has âbeen there and done itâ doesnât mean their way is the right way. Everyoneâs experience of parenthood is different, and what worked for someone else may
7605not work for you.\nYou should always heed the guidance of healthcare professionals, of course, but donât be afraid to take every piece of unsolicited advice with a grain of salt. Youâll discover what works and what doesnât, and sometimes (no matter what anyone else says) you need to do what you feel is right.\nGo easy on yourself\nLetâs make no bones about it; birthing and raising a baby is hard. Rewarding and filled with moments of pure pleasure, of course, but undeniably hard. On any given day, itâs not unusual to experience anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and disorientation â sometimes all at the same time.\nBut itâs vital to set realistic (and flexible) expectations. Donât put pressure on yourself to get it right first time â you almost never will; parenting is often a game of trial-and-error â and expel the word âperfectionâ from your vocabulary, because striving for the p-word will only lead to disappointment.\nAccept that there will be ups and downs, and moments where you feel like youâve âcracked itâ followed by new, unforeseen challenges that force you to reevaluate everything! But if youâre doing your best, youâre doing a great job.\nRemember: thereâs no such thing as the perfect mom, and a big part of being a parent is learning and adapting as you go. Thereâs no shame in accepting support, but you should also feel empowered to trust your instincts â after all, only you can truly know whatâs best for you and your baby.", 7606 "datePublished": "2025-01-29 16:00:00 -0800", 7607 "dateModified": "2025-01-29 16:00:00 -0800", 7608 "author": { 7609 "@type": "Person", 7610 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/preparing-for-motherhood/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7611 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/preparing-for-motherhood/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7612 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7613 "image": { 7614 "@type": "ImageObject", 7615 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/elvie_blog-banner_933x433-1-1621958595_jpg_f34893e6-106e-426c-8370-97417c3cc480.jpg?v=1752190618", 7616 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/elvie_blog-banner_933x433-1-1621958595_jpg_f34893e6-106e-426c-8370-97417c3cc480.jpg?v=1752190618" 7617 }, 7618 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/preparing-for-motherhood", 7619 "keywords": ["Matrescence â Becoming a Mother"] 7620 } 7621 , 7622{ 7623 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7624 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/can-baby-sleep-with-pacifier", 7625 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/can-baby-sleep-with-pacifier", 7626 "headline":"Is it Safe for My Baby to Sleep with a Pacifier?", 7627 "name":"Is it Safe for My Baby to Sleep with a Pacifier?", 7628 "description":"So, is it safe to use a pacifier at night?\nDrum roll, pleaseâ¦\nYes â itâs safe for your baby to use a pacifier while they sleep.\nIn fact, research suggests that sleeping with a pacifier might actually reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping the airway open and preventing your baby from rolling into unsafe positions.\nAs well as this, using a pacifier at night can also help establish a strong sleep association for your little one to latch onto, helping them to settle down â though this second point is a bit of a double-edged sword, as weâll discuss later.\nBut in summary, itâs generally considered safe to let your tot suckle on their pacifier while they nestle down in the crib; so if you find that it helps you both get a good nightâs rest, donât be afraid to use it!\nHowever, as with any aspect of parenting, there are a few risks to considerder, and while theyâre relatively rare, or may only occur in exceptional circumstances, theyâre still worth being aware of.\nRisks of sleeping with a pacifier\nBefore you swear off pacifiers altogether, remember that all the potential pacifier pitfalls listed below are quite rare â and the risks can be mitigated.\nDependency\nOne of the most common concerns with using a pacifier at night is that babies can become dependent on it to fall asleep. If your little one learns to fall asleep with a pacifier, they might wake up every time it falls out during the night and cry for it to be replaced. (Cue the endless trips back to the crib in the dead of night!)\nDental issues\nExtended pacifier use beyond infancy can have negative effects on a childâs dental development. Prolonged sucking, especially past the age of two, can lead to misalignment of teeth and contribute to problems like an open bite or overbite. These
7628conditions, sometimes referred to as âpacifier teethâ, may require orthodontic treatment later on if the habit isnât weaned early enough.\nTo reduce the risk of dental issues, itâs recommended to start weaning your child off the pacifier by 12 months of age. Before that, pacifiers are generally safe for most babies as long as theyâre used in moderation, and only during sleep rather than awake times. For guidance on how to wean your tot off their pacifier, check out our tips at the end of the article. \nEar infections\nResearch has shown a link between pacifier use and an increased risk of ear infections, also known as otitis media. The theory is that the sucking motion may affect the pressure in the ear, which can lead to fluid buildup and infection.\nAlthough ear infections can be common in young children, frequent pacifier use â especially beyond the first year of life â can slightly raise the likelihood. Reducing pacifier use during daytime hours, and especially during sleep beyond the first year, can help lower this risk.\nChoking and suffocation\nAlthough rare, there is a slight risk of choking or suffocation if a pacifier breaks or becomes damaged. To minimize this risk, itâs important to regularly inspect pacifiers for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, holes, or loose parts. Replace pacifiers frequently to ensure theyâre in good condition, and always follow the manufacturerâs age and size recommendations to avoid giving a pacifier thatâs too small for your childâs mouth.\nAlso, avoid pacifiers that have any added features like cords or stuffed animals attached to them. While cute, these extras can pose strangulation or suffocation risks when your baby is sleeping.\nUsing pacifiers at different stages of your babyâs development\nAs with every other aspect of the parenting journey, pacifier use has distinct stages. How and when you use them will change based on your babyâs age, and what works for your newborn tot might not work so well once theyâre a little older. Every child is different, of course, but below, weâve included a rough guide to pacifier use by age.\nNewborn to 4 months\nWhile most babies will take to their dummies quite happily, itâs crucial not to force your tot to take their dummy if they have any objections â for example, you should never dip the pacifier into anything sweet to try to get your baby to take it.\nIf youâre breastfeeding, itâs generally recommended to wait until youâve established a solid nursing routine before introducing a pacifier, as this will help to avoid nipple confusion.\nWhatâs nipple confusion?\nThe reason pacifiers work so well is because theyâre essentially artificial nipples. However, if a baby is introduced to a pacifier before theyâre used to the real deal, this could cause some confusion. Since sucking on a rubber teat requires a different technique than nursing at the breast, some babies may get a little thrown off, and struggle to latch on once you start breastfeeding.\nHowever, recent research suggests that there may be a weaker link between pacifier use and nipple confusion than once first thought. Instead, many experts now believe that nipple confusion is caused primarily by bottle feeds. So, it turns out that nipple confusion is as confusing for parents as it is for babies!\nIn any case, the current AAP guidelines recommend waiting until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing a pacifier. Around 4 weeks after birth is a good timeframe.\n4 - 6 months\nAt this age, your tot might develop a strong affinity with their pacifier â particularly if youâve been using it at certain times of the day, like just before bedtime.\nRemember in the introduction when we mentioned that pacifiers create sleep associations? Well, thereâs a chance that your baby might become dependent on their pacifier to sleep. This might prove troublesome, forcing you to replace their dummy every time they wake up.\nFor this reason, many parents choose to begin phasing the pacifier out once their tot reaches 4 to 6 months of age, opting to introduce other ways of bedtime soothing to encourage a greater sense of independence. Depending on the strength of the attachment, this stage c
7628an be challenging, but rest assured that sooner or later your tot will learn to live without their dummy!\nOf course, thereâs no obligation to throw the pacifier out once your baby hits the 6-month mark. If transitioning is proving troublesome, you can always switch focus and teach your tot how to replace their dummy all on their own. Do this during playtime when your baby is alert and happy, and place the pacifier just within their reach. Over time â and with a little encouragement â theyâll soon learn to grab it and pop it in all by themselves.\n7 - 12 months\nAt this age, youâll want to place more importance on independent pacifier use. Encourage your tot to take control by placing the pacifier within reach in their crib. If you want to be extra prepared, you can even place multiple pacifiers nearby, so that theyâll always have one in close reach when they wake up.\nVerbal coaching can work wonders, too. Try holding the pacifier up in front of your tot and saying âget your dummyâ, or, once youâve set them down into their crib, gently ask them to find their pacifier and motion towards it â theyâll soon catch on!\n12 - 18 months\nWhile pacifiers are still safe for sleep at this stage, long-term use, especially beyond 18 months, can have some downsides. Prolonged use of pacifiers can sometimes lead to dental issues like misaligned teeth (commonly referred to as âpacifier teethâ) or speech development challenges.\nBy 12 months, your baby has likely developed other ways to soothe themselves, like cuddling a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. So, this can be a good time to begin slowly phasing out the pacifier. But donât worryâthereâs no need to go cold turkey if your child isnât ready. Weaning can be a gradual process, and you can take it at your babyâs pace.\nTips for weaning off a pacifier at night:\n\n\nStart by limiting pacifier use to sleep only. During the day, offer alternative soothing techniques like a lovey or a comfort blanket.\n\n\nIntroduce other sleep associations. Activities like reading a calming book or playing gentle music can help reduce reliance on the pacifier at bedtime.\n\n\nBe patient! If your baby resists or seems particularly attached to the pacifier, itâs okay to take a slower approach.\n\n\n18 months - 2 years and beyond\nBy the time your little one reaches toddlerdom, itâs usually recommended to wean off the pacifier completely. This is important for several reasons:\n\n\nDental health concerns. Prolonged pacifier use can lead to dental issues, such as misalignment or âpacifier teeth,â where your childâs teeth may become pushed forward, affecting their bite.\n\n\nSpeech development. Pacifiers can interfere with speech development by preventing your toddler from practicing their talking skills. Open-mouthed pacifier use can hinder the formation of sounds and words.\n\n\nDependence. By this age, your child might start relying on the pacifier for comfort in situations where they could be learning self-soothing techniques, making it harder to handle emotions without it.\n\n\nSocial readiness. As your baby grows up, a pacifier might start to seem out of place in social settings, like daycare or playgroups. Weaning them off now will reduce their chance of being singled out or picked on.\n\n\nFortunately, at this age, toddlers typically develop rapidly in terms of speech, and itâs easier for them to practice speaking clearly without a pacifier in their mouth all the time, so you already have a perfect excuse to phase the dummies out anyway!\nThis doesnât mean the process will be without challenges, though. Weaning a toddler off their beloved binky can feel like trying to convince a cat to enjoy a bath, but itâs entirely doable with patience, persistence, and maybe a little creativity.\nTips for weaning a toddler off the pacifier altogether:\n\n\nIf your toddler is particularly attached to their pacifier, try a gradual approach by first limiting its use to naps and bedtime. Once theyâve adjusted, you can slowly phase it out during sleep, too.\n\n\nSome parents find it helpful to âretireâ the pacifier in a special way, like having a âpacifier fairyâ come to take it away in exchange for a new toy. This can make the transition much easier.\n\n\nTransition your toddler to other forms of comfort, like a stuffed animal, blanket, or even their favorite bedtime story. Help them understand that theyâre a âbig kidâ now and donât need the pacifier anymore.\n\n\nYou can take it from us â pacifiers arenât just safe to use during bedtime, theyâre often a complete lifesaver!

This is essential for babies 0-3 months of age, as they havenât built up the crucial muscles necessary to keep their head upright yet. So, as long as the bouncer keeps your tootâs head stable, youâre good to go!Jumpers, on the other hand, are a different story. These donât offer the same level of support, so they arenât safe for younger babies. Youâll need to wait until your baby has strong neck control â around the 4-6 month mark â before introducing a jumper.Once your baby reaches 6 months of age, you might notice them getting more curious about their surroundings and wanting to engage with the world around them. At this point, jumpers are generally considered more appropriate, as they give your tot more freedom and often allow them to stand freely and jump up and down.So, in short:\n0-3 months of age: Your baby can use a bouncer with head and neck support.\n6 months and above: Your baby can use a jumper (either freestanding or seated).\nCan newborns use bouncers?Yes, newborns can use bouncers â with a few caveats. Most bouncers designed for newborns include head and neck support to keep those delicate muscles in check. The key is finding a bouncer that reclines so your baby is in a safe, slightly laid-back position. This helps prevent any strain on their neck or back and keeps them comfy as they take in their surroundings.As long as your chosen bouncer meets these criteria, itâs a great option for giving your arms a rest while keeping your little one cozy and entertained.Benefits of bouncers for babiesMany parents consider bouncers to be an essential piece of kit, and here are some of the reasons why:\nThey give you some breathing room: Letâs face it, parents need a break sometimes. A bouncer lets you pop your baby in a safe spot while you have a much needed break (while keeping an eye on them, of course). \nSome encourage hand-eye coordination: Many bouncers come with toys that are perfectly placed for grabbing and batting, giving your baby a fun way to develop motor skills while they play.\nTheyâre super stimulating: With gentle motion, colorful toys, and sometimes even music, bouncers provide a sensory feast for your little one. All those sights, sounds, and movements keep them happily engaged.\nThey help to strengthen your tot: As babies kick and wiggle in the bouncer, theyâre actually building up those leg and core muscles. While itâs not a substitute for tummy time, itâs a great complement.\nRisks of jumpers and bouncersWithout pooping the party completely, itâs important to mention that there are some risks involved with bouncers and jumpers.Firstly, the biggest thing to remember is moderation. Itâs way too easy to let your baby bounce away for ages, but babies need time on the floor to roll, crawl, and strengthen their muscles, so try to limit their bouncer use to 15-20 minutes at a time.If your baby relies too much on the jumperâs supp
7651ort, they may take longer to develop strength and coordination on their own â while prolonged use can lead to poor posture and alignment. Of course, they can also miss out on crucial tummy time or floor play, which are essential for experimenting with movement and exploring their surroundings independently.Another potential downside is that, because bouncers and jumpers encourage babies to push off with their toes, they can cause tight calf muscles and potentially delay the natural progression of walking â with your baby possibly even developing a preference for toe-walking if they spend too much time in a bouncer.Then thereâs the risk of improper setup. Now, this will vary from one model to the next, but no matter what kind of bouncer or jumper you choose, always make sure itâs planted on a flat, stable surface to prevent any tipping or sliding. Doorway jumpers need extra attention, too â always double-check that the frame is secure and can handle your babyâs weight. Overly vigorous bouncing can also strain your totâs developing joints, so be mindful of how hard theyâre hitting those jumps! And of course, supervision is non-negotiable.Here are our top tips to remember for safe baby bouncer or jumper use:\nLimit use: Use the bouncer for short periods of no more than 15-20 minutes at a time.\nEnsure proper fit: Check that the bouncer fits your baby snugly and does not place undue pressure on the hips or allow the baby to slouch.\nSupervise closely: Always supervise your little one when theyâre in a jumper to ensure theyâre safe and comfortable.\nEncourage floor play: Prioritize floor-based playtime to support the natural development of their motor skills.\nChoose wisely: Opt for a stationary bouncer with a sturdy frame rather than a doorway model, which poses higher risks of tipping or detachment.\nCan I let my baby sleep in their bouncer?Letting your baby catch a quick snooze in their bouncer might seem harmless â after all, they look so peaceful! â but itâs not recommended for prolonged or unsupervised sleep. Bouncers are designed for short-term use and play, not for sleeping. The reclining angle can increase the risk of positional asphyxia, especially for younger babies who donât yet have full head and neck control. If your baby dozes off, itâs best to transfer them to a flat, firm sleep surface like a crib or bassinet as soon as possible. Always prioritize safe sleep practices to keep your little one secure.When do babies grow out of bouncers?Eventually, the day will come when your little one will grow out of their bouncer, and this will usually occur when theyâre around 9-12 months old. However, it also depends on how developed your tot is. Weight matters, too â most bouncers and jumpers have a maximum weight limit of around 20-30lbs, so if your babyâs pushing those limits, itâs time for them to retire from bouncing!Height is another indicator. If your babyâs feet are too close to the ground in a bouncer or their legs are bending awkwardly in a jumper, itâs a sign theyâve outgrown it. And once your little one starts walking or crawling, theyâre probably not going to enjoy being fixed in one position. What about electric baby bouncers?Electric baby bouncers are a game-changer for some parents. With features like automatic rocking, vibration settings, and even built-in lullabies, they can feel like a magical third arm when youâre juggling the chaos of early parenthood. Theyâre particularly handy for soothing fussy babies or helping them drift off to sleep.Just keep in mind that, like any bouncer, they should be used in moderation. Always check the manufacturerâs safety guidelines and ensure your baby is securely strapped in before you hit the âonâ button.Best baby bouncer 2025 â which should I buy?When it comes to choosing the best baby bouncer, it all boils down to personal preference. Some parents swear by electric models with all the bells and whistles, while others prefer the simplicity of a classic, no-frills design. Whichever type you go for, the most important thing is that itâs safe, comfortable, and suits your babyâs age and developmental stage. Take a look at the options, read a few reviews, and trust your gut.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7652 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:47:37 -0800", 7653 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:47:37 -0800", 7654 "author": { 7655 "@type": "Person", 7656 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-you-put-baby-in-a-bouncer/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7657 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-you-put-baby-in-a-bouncer/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7658 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7659 "image": { 7660 "@type": "ImageObject", 7661 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-812478628_ccbc96b0-f605-4685-83b7-4333b6942969.jpg?v=1750955064", 7662 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-812478628_ccbc96b0-f605-4685-83b7-4333b6942969.jpg?v=1750955064" 7663 }, 7664 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-you-put-baby-in-a-bouncer", 7665 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7666 } 7667 , 7668{ 7669 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7670 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/is-screen-time-bad-for-baby-sleep", 7671 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/is-screen-time-bad-for-baby-sleep", 7672 "headline":"Screen Time for Babies: Does Screen Time Negatively Impact Sleep Quality?", 7673 "name":"Screen Time for Babies: Does Screen Time Negatively Impact Sleep Quality?", 7674 "description":"What do we mean by âscreen timeâ?Weâre not talking about the amount of time your favorite actor spends on screen in a movie or TV show (as in, Molly Shannon deserved way more screen time in âThe Santa Clause 2â) but the amount of time we â or in this case, our children â spend using a screen-based device such as a smartphone, tablet, TV, or games console.Screen time can be categorized as either âactiveâ (which involves doing as well as watching) or âpassiveâ, which describes sedentary activities such as wat
7674ching TV. Screen time is often a topic of concern among parents, given the perceived impact it can have on childrenâs physical, social, and cognitive development. But is it really that bad for babies?Is screen time bad for babies?Actually, yes. In their Guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep for children under 5 years of age, the World Health Organization advises against sedentary screen time for children under 2 years. Meanwhile, a study by JAMA Pediatrics suggests that babies exposed to screens daily are more likely to experience developmental delays.So, while putting a tablet in front of your baby when theyâre fussy may distract and pacify them temporarily, the long-term effect of regularly exposing them to screen time at such an early stage could actually be detrimental to their development. During âinactiveâ time, reading a story to your baby is much better than putting them in front of a screen.The WHO recommends prioritizing at least 30 minutes of physical activity (like that old favorite, tummy time) and a good amount of quality sleep (including naps) over sedentary screen time, while even at two years old your little one should be limited to no more than an hour of screen time each day. How does screen time affect sleep in babies?As per the WHOâs guidelines, itâs important for babies to have a healthy combination of physical activity, sedentary time, and â crucially â good quality sleep. Sleep is crucial for your babyâs development, helping to support their physical growth as well as their cognitive functions, but time spent in front of a screen can affect their snoozing schedule in a number of ways â from making it harder for them to drift off to limiting the total amount of time they sleep over a 24-hour period.Blue light can limit production of the âsleep hormoneâMost devices with screens emit a high-energy, short-frequency âblue lightâ, and this can interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Even as an adult, this can make it harder for you to fall asleep at night â as you may have discovered if youâve ever tried to doze off after spending too long scrolling through your phone just before bedtime â and the destabilizing effect on babies is similar.Blue light can also âtrickâ the brain into thinking itâs daytime, which can throw off your babyâs sleep-wake cycle and affect the overall length and quality of their sleep. The lights in your home can also have an impact on how your baby sleeps, and dimming the lights for 1-2 hours before bedtime, even just a little, can help your baby transition more easily into sleep.Screen exposure can cause overstimulation before bedtimeIf youâve ever crawled into bed after working until the early hours, or turned in for the night just after switching off a particularly intense episode of The Bear, youâll know that a whirring, overstimulated brain can make it nigh-on impossible to fall asleep straight away.Similarly, if your baby is exposed to stimulating content â the bright colors and rapid movement often included in cartoons, for example â they may remain âalertâ and take longer to transition to a calm, snooze-ready state. This will often make falling asleep more difficult, while their overall sleep quality will likely be reduced.More screen time = less sleep timeUltimately, if your baby spends a significant amount of time staring at a screen, theyâre likely to sleep for less time overall â which might prevent them getting the shuteye they need for healthy development (this is typically around 14-17 hours for a newborn and 12-16 hours for a baby aged 4-12 months, though this can vary from child to child).Research has shown negative relationships between screen time and total sleep time, with one study finding that TV viewing had an adverse effect on infantsâ total sleep over a 24-hour period, and exposure to a smartphone screen correlated to less daytime sleep for toddlers.If your baby is consistently not getting enough sleep, this can impact their cognitive development, their physical health (good quality sleep is essential for maintaining a strong immune system), and their mood â sleep deprivation makes it harder to regulate emotions, meaning fussiness and crying episodes are likely to be more frequent.What is a healthy screen time limit for infants?The WHOâs guidelines state that children under a year old shouldnât spend any time stationary in front of a screen, with sedentary screen time not recommended until theyâre at least two.Hereâs a rough outline of the recommended screen time limits for babies and toddlers:\nUnder 12 months: Babies less than a year old should have no sedentary screen time, with activities like reading and storytelling more encouraged. You should aim for 30 minutes or more of physical activity like tummy time, and at least 12-14 hours of sleep depending on your babyâs individual needs.\n1-2 years: Sedentary screen time is still not recommended for any child under the age of two â although video calls with family members are of course encouraged! At least 180 minutes each day should be dedicated to moderate physical activity, and a good amount of quality sleep (typically 11 or more hours) is essential.\n3-4 years: Even for toddlers and preschoolers, sedentary screen time should be limited to a maximum of one hour per day. 180 minutes or more of physical activity is recommended, at least 60 minutes of which should be of moderate-to-vigorous intensity. Aroun
7674d 10-13 hours of sleep per day is typically suggested.\nWhat if my child is neurodiverse?Screen time can sometimes be beneficial for neurodiverse toddlers who need to self-soothe. Certain programs or apps offer predictable, calming visuals and sounds that help regulate the nervous system, making it a valuable tool when used intentionally to support emotional or sensory regulation.When parents share screen time with their child, however, the experience goes beyond self-soothing. Watching together fosters connection, communication, and learning. It creates opportunities for parents to engage with their child, discuss what theyâre seeing, and turn screen time into a shared experience that enhances social and emotional development.How can I manage my infantâs screen time?Many parents will have faced similar screen-based dilemmas when dealing with a child mid-tantrum, and itâs important to remember that allowing your toddler a little screen time doesnât make you a bad parent. But even when it seems like itâs your sole option, there are ways to ensure your little one is not going to go all square-eyed. For example:\nLimit screen time where possible. However tempting, try if you can to avoid passive screen time until your child is at least two years old. From two onwards, allow them no more than one hour of supervised screen time each day.\nAvoid screen time before bed. Try to get into the habit of turning off the TV and putting devices away at least an hour before their scheduled bedtime, and use this time to âwind downâ with calming activities like a bath or a story instead.\nReduce the brightness of devices. If you do let your little one watch something on a smartphone or tablet, put the device on night mode or turn the brightness down to reduce blue light exposure, particularly in the evening.\nEncourage active screen time. Screen time doesnât have to be completely sedentary. Why not watch along with your child and encourage them to sing along to the songs or tell you when they spot different things on the screen?\nCreate âscreen-freeâ zones. Designate certain rooms or areas of your home as no screens allowed. Keeping TVs and tablets out of your babyâs bedroom, for example, can help them associate it with sleep rather than stimulation.\nMake use of parental controls. As your child gets older, you may allow them to use devices such as tablets independently. Parental controls allow you to manage some devices remotely, so you can monitor and limit the content theyâre allowed to access.\nLead by example. Children learn a lot of their habits from parents and caregivers, so try to set a positive example by keeping your own screen time to a reasonable level â no matter how many levels of Candy Crush you still have to unlock!\nWhen your little one is inconsolably fussy and you just want a few precious moments for yourself, reaching for the nearest screen-based device can feel like the only way to pacify them. But itâs important to consider the impact too much screen time can have on your babyâs sleep quality and, therefore, their overall development.The best advice? Try to avoid passive screen time altogether when your child is under two years old, and limit it to an hour a day when they hit toddlerdom. The most important thing is maintaining a healthy balance of physical activity, rest time, and good quality sleep.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7675 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:37:09 -0800", 7676 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:37:09 -0800", 7677 "author": { 7678 "@type": "Person", 7679 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/is-screen-time-bad-for-baby-sleep/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7680 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/is-screen-time-bad-for-baby-sleep/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7681 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7682 "image": { 7683 "@type": "ImageObject", 7684 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-670930634_25d89823-9f91-4225-81a5-0d9f4011c87b.jpg?v=1750955064", 7685 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-670930634_25d89823-9f91-4225-81a5-0d9f4011c87b.jpg?v=1750955064" 7686 }, 7687 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/is-screen-time-bad-for-baby-sleep", 7688 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7689 } 7690 , 7691{ 7692 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7693 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-sleep-apnea", 7694 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-sleep-apnea", 7695 "headline":"What is Baby Sleep Apnea? Signs to Look Out For", 7696 "name":"What is Baby Sleep Apnea? Signs to Look Out For", 7697 "description":"What is baby sleep apnea?Baby sleep apnea is a condition where a babyâs breathing pauses during sleep. These pauses â or apneas â can last for a few seconds and may occur multiple times throughout the night. Scary? Absolutely, but theyâre not always a cause for concern. Itâs relatively common for there to be a certain amount of instability in an infantâs breathing. Even the healthiest of tots can experience a brief pause in breathing during sleep now and again. But that said, itâs still worth knowing whatâs normal, and what might need a closer look.What are the symptoms of baby sleep apnea?Suspect your tot may be struggling with sleep apnea? Look out for these symptoms:\nSnoring: Not the cute little snuffles, but loud, uneven snoring.\nBreathing pauses: Gaps in their breathing that last longer than a few seconds.\nGasping or choking: Sounds like theyâre struggling to catch their breath.\nSweatiness or clamminess: Sweating is not always a cause for concern (it may just be because your babyâs room is a little warm) but if your baby often wakes up with a sweaty or clammy forehead, it could be a sign of sleep apnea.\nFussiness or restlessness: Constant tossing, turning, or frequent night waking could be due to sleep apnea.\nFeeding struggles: Sometimes a lack of sleep can throw off your little oneâs appetite. \nBlue lips or blue skin: This symptom is serious â if you see it, call 911 immediately. \nThere are two main types of sleep apnea in babies: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Obstructive sleep apneaOSA occurs when something physically blocks the babyâs airway, such as enlarged tonsils, adenoids (small tissue lumps in the upper airway), or even poor muscle tone in the throat.The hallmark of OSA is snoring. But unlike the soft, almost soothing snuffles you might expect, OSA-related snoring is often loud and punctuated by pauses in breathing or choking sounds. The babyâs chest might visibly heave as they work harder to breathe during these episodes.Risk factors:\nPremature birth: Premature tots might still have underdeveloped airways.\nBig tonsils or adenoids: These can block airflow during sleep.\nNeuromuscular disorders: Conditions like Down Syndrome or cerebral palsy are known to increase the risk of OSA.\nFamily history: If sleep apnea runs in your family, your baby might be more prone to it.\nCleft palate: Babies with a cleft palate may have a smaller airway, leading to a heightened risk of OSA\nSecondhand smoke exposure: Another reason to keep the air clean around your little one!\nCentral sleep apneaCentral sleep apnea (CSA) is different from OSA in that thereâs no physical blockage. Instead, the problem lies in the brainâs communication with the respiratory system. Itâs as though the brain âforgetsâ to tell the baby to breathe for a few seconds.CSA is more common in premature infants, as their central nervous systems are still developing. However, it can also be seen in full-term babies with underlying neurological or cardiac conditions.The signs of CSA are often more subtle than OSA. You might notice brief pauses in your babyâs breathing without the gasping or snoring associated with OSA. While these pauses are often harmless and resolve as the baby grows, prolonged or frequent episodes should always be evaluated by a doctor.Risk factors:\nPrematurity: Babies born before 34 weeks are at higher risk.\nInfections: Severe infections like meningitis can impact the brainâs ability to regulate breathing.\nHead trauma: Injury to the head or brain can disrupt the signals that control breathing.\nToxin exposure: Exposure to harmful substances, either during pregnancy or after birth, can affect brain function.\nMetabolic disorders: Where your baby has trouble processing amino acids or fats.\nHeart conditions: Things like congenital heart defects can play a role.\nNeurological issues: Anything that affects how the brain works might cause CSA.\nHow is baby sleep apnea diagnosed?If you suspect your baby is suffering from sleep apnea, your first step is to get them to your pediatrician or doctor. Theyâll start by asking about your babyâs symptoms, sleeping habits, and feeding patterns. If they suspect sleep apnea, they may even refer your baby to a sleep
7697specialist. The sleep specialist may perform a polysomnography (also known as a sleep study) on your baby. This test will measure your little oneâs breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and brain activity while they sleep. Typically, this will be done in a hospital or specialized sleep center, but in some cases, they may allow you to take the test at home. Sometimes, X-rays or MRIs are used to check for physical blockages, or blood tests to rule out any related conditions. In the case of premature tots, we understand just how concerning health issues like these can be. But while receiving a diagnosis of OSA or CSA can feel scary, keep in mind that long-term complications with infant sleep apnea are relatively rare. How is baby sleep apnea treated?How your babyâs sleep apnea is treated largely depends on how severe it is, and whatâs causing it. For mild cases, your doctor might recommend simple adjustments like:\nChanging sleep positions, such as having your baby sleep on their back with their head slightly elevated.\nUsing a humidifier to keep airways moist and reduce irritation.\nAddressing underlying causes, such as allergies or infections.\nFor more severe cases, or those caused by medical or developmental issues, treatments may include:\nSurgery, if enlarged tonsils or adenoids are causing the obstruction (called an adenotonsillectomy).\nMedications, in rare cases, to stimulate breathing in babies with CSA.\nOral appliances that are placed inside your totâs mouth to expand the roof of the mouth and nasal passages, or move your totâs jaw and tongue forward to keep the airway open. \nContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device that gently blows air into your babyâs airway to keep it open â though its use in infants is very rare and always carefully monitored by specialists.\nWhat about toddler sleep apnea?Sleep apnea isnât just a baby thing â it can affect toddlers, too. Just like with infants, toddler sleep apnea comes in two forms: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Much like infants, the signs and symptoms to keep an eye out for are:\nLoud snoring: If your toddler sounds like a tiny chainsaw at night, it might be worth investigating.\nBreathing pauses: Gaps in their breathing, followed by gasping or choking, can be a sign of sleep apnea.\nRestless sleep: You may notice your child constantly tossing and turning or waking multiple times, or frequently changing positions to find a more comfortable way to breathe.\nMouth breathing: Chronic mouth breathing, even when awake, can be a sign of an airway issue.\nDaytime fatigue: If your toddler seems extra cranky, sleepy, or has trouble concentrating, it could be from poor-quality sleep.\nBehavioural changes: Symptoms such as increased irritability, difficulty focusing, and hyperactivity can sometimes stem from fragmented sleep caused by sleep apnea, and are often misattributed to temperament or âtypicalâ toddler behavior.\nGrowth: Untreated sleep apnea in toddlers may sometimes lead to poor growth due to disruptions in growth hormone production during sleep. Itâs important to monitor weight gain and overall health.\nIf youâre noticing these symptoms, start by chatting with your pediatrician rather than trying to self-diagnose the issue â the symptoms listed above are not necessarily signs of sleep apnea, and it can be easy to misinterpret them as just that.Your paediatrician might refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or recommend a sleep study to get a clearer picture. The good news? Most toddlers with sleep apnea respond well to treatment, and addressing it early can make a big difference in their mood, energy, and overall health.As in many situations as a parent, observation is key â for example, you might consider using a baby monitor with audio to detect signs of laboured breathing, or keeping a sleep diary to document symptoms and patterns. This information can then be shared with your pediatrician to help them reach an accurate diagnosis.Remember â if you suspect your totâs suffering from sleep apnea, itâs always best to consult a medical professional rather than trying to diagnose the issue yourself. Theyâll guide you through the process of diagnosis and treatment, ensuring your little one is able to get a peaceful â and safe â nightâs rest.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7698 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:27:59 -0800", 7699 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:27:59 -0800", 7700 "author": { 7701 "@type": "Person", 7702 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-sleep-apnea/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7703 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-sleep-apnea/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7704 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7705 "image": { 7706 "@type": "ImageObject", 7707 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-638924066_3b2cea82-56ff-40a4-ada8-d8ca1886df3b.jpg?v=1750955064", 7708 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-638924066_3b2cea82-56ff-40a4-ada8-d8ca1886df3b.jpg?v=1750955064" 7709 }, 7710 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-baby-sleep-apnea", 7711 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7712 } 7713 , 7714{ 7715 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7716 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-soothe-a-baby-with-colic", 7717 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-soothe-a-baby-with-colic", 7718 "headline":"How to Soothe a Baby with Colic: 7 Techniques to Try", 7719 "name":"How to Soothe a Baby with Colic: 7 Techniques to Try", 7720 "description":"What is colic?\nColic is a term used to describe frequent, prolonged, and intense crying in an otherwise healthy baby that canât be easily explained. Itâs frustrating, exhausting, but crucially, itâs not your fault â colic is very common, with up to 1 in 4 newborns thought to experience it, and experts still do not know the exact cause.\nHereâs the good news: colic doesnât last forever. It usually peaks around six weeks of age, and tends to resolve itself by around the 4-month mark. And, in the meantime, there are plenty of ways to comfort your baby and maintain your sanity â as weâll explain shortly.\nColic symptoms\nBecause colic isnât truly a condition but rather a term used to describe a collection of symptoms â which most typically include excessive, unexplained crying â it can be tough to distinguish from normal baby fussiness. However, there are some key signs that might indicate your little one is dealing with more than just an off day.\nWhile itâs always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician, here are the common signs of colic to watch for:\n\n\nIntense crying. Colicky crying is often louder, more intense, and higher-pitched than regular cries. It might seem as though your baby is crying in pain.\n\n\nCrying fits at predictable times. Colic episodes often happen around the same time each day, typically in the late afternoon or evening.\n\n\nInconsolability. Despite your best efforts to comfort them â feeding, changing, rocking â your baby may refuse to stop crying.\n\n\nClenched fists and stiffened body. During crying spells, you might notice your baby clenching their fists, curling up their legs, or stiffening their body.\n\n\nGassy or bloated appearance. Many colicky babies seem to have a hard t
7720ime passing gas or it may look like their tummy is bloated.\n\n\nRelief after passing gas or a bowel movement. Some babies appear to calm down briefly after releasing gas or having a bowel movement, though the relief might not last long.\n\n\nInterrupted sleep patterns. Colicky babies may struggle to settle down for naps or nighttime sleep, adding to their frustration (and yours).\n\n\nWhat causes colic?\nFrustratingly, nobodyâs quite sure what causes colic in babies. However, itâs often thought to reflect a babyâs difficulty in adapting to their environment or developing self-soothing techniques, which can be influenced by factors such as immature digestion, overstimulation, or even parental stress.\nThese are some of the contributing factors that many experts believe to be linked to colic:\n\n\nImmature digestive system. A babyâs digestive tract is still developing, which can lead to difficulty processing food, trapped gas, or general discomfort.\n\n\nOverstimulation. Newborns are constantly exposed to new sights, sounds, and sensations. For some babies, this sensory overload can lead to excessive crying as they struggle to process it all.\n\n\nGas. Swallowing air during feedings or sensitivity to certain foods (via breast milk or formula) might contribute to tummy troubles, leading to colic symptoms.\n\n\nFood sensitivities or allergies. Some experts suggest that colic might be related to a babyâs reaction to proteins in cowâs milk or other allergens in formula or breast milk.\n\n\nAcid reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can cause discomfort, leading some babies to cry more frequently.\n\n\nImmature nervous system. A babyâs underdeveloped nervous system may make it harder for them to self-soothe or adapt to changes, resulting in prolonged crying.\n\n\nParental stress. While not a direct cause, some research suggests that colic might be exacerbated by the stress levels in a babyâs environment, as infants can pick up on and react to tension around them.\n\n\nHowever, while these factors might contribute to colic, the truth is that every baby is different, and what triggers colic in one child might not apply to another.\nWhen to see a doctor\nColic is both common (affecting around 1 in 5 babies) and relatively harmless, but itâs always a good idea to check in with your doctor if youâre concerned. Theyâll be able to rule out any underlying medical conditions and offer additional advice for managing colic.\nAbove all, trust your instincts! If something doesnât feel right, donât hesitate to speak up. You know your little one better than anyone else.\nHow to help a colic baby get to sleep\nWe know what colic is, now letâs talk about how to treat it. Below, weâve outlined some of the most effective techniques for soothing a colicky tot. Try one or two, or give them all a go! Every baby is different, so test things out and see how you get on.\n1. Create a calming environment\nImagine spending 9 months in a luxury hotel â all your needs taken care of. All your favourite food delivered instantly, a soft, king-size bed to rest on, and complete silence when youâre ready to settle down.\nNow, imagine all of those things suddenly being stripped away. Youâre thrown into a loud, bright, completely unfamiliar space. Now multiply that confusion and discomfort by a thousand, and youâre close to imagining just how tricky the transition from womb to planet earth is.\nBabies might get berated for being overly sensitive, but put yourself in their (tiny) shoes!\nIf youâre dealing with a colicky tot, turn your attention towards their environment. Is it conducive to a good nightâs sleep? If your baby is crying nonstop, reducing sensory input can help them feel more secure. Creating the perfect calming environment for your baby essentially boils down to this:\n\n\nDim the lights. Bright lights can overstimulate your baby. Use soft, warm lighting or dimmers to create a cozy atmosphere. If itâs bedtime, darkening the room entirely can signal itâs time to wind down.\n\n\nIntroduce white noise. Gentle, consistent sounds like white noise, soft rain, or the hum of a fan can mimic the sounds of the womb and drown out jarring background noises. White noise machines or apps can be great tools for this.\n\n\nKeep it quiet. Minimize loud or abrupt sounds that might startle your baby. If youâre talking or playing music, keep the volume low and soothing.\n\n\nAdjust the temperature. Babies are sensitive to temperature changes, so keep the room comfortably warm, but not too hot. If your baby seems fussy, check if they might be too warm or too cold.\n\n\n2. Swaddle them\nSimilar to the technique above, swaddling helps recreate the secure feeling of being in the womb and prevents the Moro reflex, which is particularly comforting for colicky babies. If youâre new to swaddling, there are plenty of swaddling tutorials to guide you, or you can invest in a ready-made swaddle blanket with Velcro or zippers to make things extra simple.\nThe key is to make sure your babyâs arms are snugly tucked in while leaving enough room for their hips to move freely. While not all babies like being swaddled and you should pay close attention to their cues, a well-swaddled baby often feels safe and secure, which can make all the difference during a colic episode. Just be sure to follow safe sleep guidelines and stop swaddling once your baby shows signs of rolling over.\n3. Use motion\nHave you ever noticed how quickly a baby calms down when theyâre rocked in someoneâs arms or taken for a car ride? Thatâs because motion is incredibly soothing for infants. Rocking, swaying, or bouncing gently can help distract your baby from their discomfort. If your arms are getting tired, try a baby swing, bouncer, or even a smart bassinet. These gadgets can be lifesavers, offering a hands-free way to keep your baby moving.\nAnother tried-and-true technique is taking your baby for a
7720walk in their stroller or wearing them in a baby carrier. The combination of fresh air and gentle movement can be incredibly calming, not to mention a great way for you to get a change of scenery. And letâs not forget the magic of a car ride â just be prepared for the possibility that your baby might wake up the moment you pull into the driveway!\n4. Try tummy time\nAs we touched on above, itâs thought that colic may be linked to gassiness, so try laying your tot on their tum and applying some gentle pressure to their abdomen. You can also try laying your baby face-down across your lap and gently patting their back. This position can be soothing and help release trapped air.\nYou might also find that using a warm compress or especially-designed baby tummy warmer helps, too â just make sure that whatever youâre using isnât too hot (no warmer than 100°F or 37.8°C).\n5. Give baby massage a go\nAnother topic weâve touched on before (pun very much intended) is baby massage. Itâs a superb way of helping both you and you wind down before bed, and thereâs plenty of research to prove it works, so youâve really no excuse not to try it.\nIf youâd like to take a deep dive into the topic, take a look at our guide to baby massage, but if youâd prefer a quick rundown, hereâs a quickstart guide below:\n\n\nCreate a relaxing atmosphere. Choose a quiet, warm space and dim the lights. You can even play soft, calming music to set the tone.\n\n\nUse baby-safe oil. A small amount of baby-safe oil, like coconut or almond oil (being mindful of nut allergies, of course), can make the massage more comfortable. Warm the oil between your hands before applying it to your babyâs skin.\n\n\nStart with gentle strokes. Begin with light, slow strokes on your babyâs chest and tummy. This helps them get used to the sensation.\n\n\nMassage the tummy. Using your fingertips, move in a gentle clockwise motion on their belly. This mimics the natural direction of their digestive system and can help release trapped gas.\n\n\nFocus on the legs and feet. Gently massage their thighs, calves, and the soles of their feet. You can even do a light âbicycleâ motion with their legs to help relieve gas.\n\n\nKeep an eye on babyâs cues. If your baby seems relaxed, continue with the massage. If they seem uncomfortable or fussy, stop and try again later.\n\n\n6. Adjust your feeding technique\nSometimes, colic is linked to feeding issues. If your baby is bottle-fed, make sure theyâre not swallowing too much air during feedings. You can use anti-colic bottles or check that the nipple flow is appropriate for their age. If youâre breastfeeding, consider whether something in your diet might be triggering your babyâs symptoms. While thereâs no definitive list of foods to avoid, some parents find that cutting back on caffeine or spicy foods can make a difference.\nIf you suspect your babyâs colic is related to a milk protein intolerance or another food sensitivity, consult your doctor. They might recommend a special formula or guide you on dietary changes.\n7. Use the 5 Sâs\nHere at Elvie, weâre huge fans of Dr. Harvey Karpâs 5 Sâs of soothing. If you havenât come across it yet, the 5 Sâs are a set of techniques designed to mimic the comforting sensations your baby experienced in the womb. They work together to help your baby feel secure and settled, even during a colic meltdown. Weâve already covered two of the 5 Sâs (swaddling and swinging) up above.\nIf youâre curious, you can read our full guide to the 5 Sâs, but hereâs a quick breakdown to get you started:\n\n\nSwaddling. Wrapping your baby snugly in a swaddle blanket helps recreate the cozy, secure feeling of being in the womb. Make sure their arms are tucked in, but leave enough room for their hips and legs to move freely.\n\n\nSide or stomach position. While always placing your baby on their back for sleep is crucial, holding them on their side or stomach during awake, supervised time can help soothe crying spells. Try cradling them face-down across your arm or holding them upright against your chest.\n\n\nShushing. A loud, rhythm
7720ic âshushingâ sound mimics the whooshing noise of blood flow in the womb. You can make the sound yourself or use a white noise machine for consistent soothing.\n\n\nSwinging. Gentle, rhythmic motion â like rocking, swaying, or using a baby swing â can be incredibly calming. Movement reminds babies of the constant motion they felt while being carried during pregnancy.\n\n\nSucking. Babies naturally find sucking soothing, so offering a pacifier, a clean finger, or breastfeeding can help calm them during fussy moments.\n\n\nAbove all â be patient!\nPerhaps the most important tool in your parenting arsenal is patience. Dealing with a colicky baby can be tough, but remember that it wonât last forever. In the meantime, try to stay calm, and donât be afraid to lean on your partner, friends, or family members if youâre struggling.\nBreaks are important, too. If youâre feeling overwhelmed, itâs okay to pop your baby down in their crib and step away for a few minutes to collect yourself. Your well-being matters too!\nBy trying different techniques and being patient with the process, youâll find what works best for your baby. And remember, youâre not alone â colic is a common experience, and countless parents have been in your shoes.\nIn time, those sleepless nights and fussy evenings will become a distant memory. Until then, take it one day (or one cry) at a time.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7721 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:19:55 -0800", 7722 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:19:55 -0800", 7723 "author": { 7724 "@type": "Person", 7725 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-soothe-a-baby-with-colic/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7726 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-soothe-a-baby-with-colic/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7727 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7728 "image": { 7729 "@type": "ImageObject", 7730 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-2182058838_7171ba62-8667-430a-bb26-fb23ada8856e.jpg?v=1752076259", 7731 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-2182058838_7171ba62-8667-430a-bb26-fb23ada8856e.jpg?v=1752076259" 7732 }, 7733 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-soothe-a-baby-with-colic", 7734 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7735 } 7736 , 7737{ 7738 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7739 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-safely-swaddle-a-baby", 7740 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-safely-swaddle-a-baby", 7741 "headline":"How to Safely Swaddle a Baby: A Step-by-Step Swaddling Guide", 7742 "name":"How to Safely Swaddle a Baby: A Step-by-Step Swaddling Guide", 7743 "description":"What is swaddling?\nSwaddling is when you wrap your baby up in a thin blanket to help them feel super safe and secure â essentially mimicking their pre-birth experience of life in the womb.\nSome parents opt for purpose-made swaddle blankets, while others may choose a thin muslin blanket or cot sheet. In any case, the underlying technique behind the swaddle stays much the same. As long as the blanket used is thin and breathable, it should work just fine.\nSpecially-made swaddle blankets do have the added benefit of velcro fastenings though, which help to keep the blanket in place â handy if youâve got a particularly wriggly tot on your hands.\nWhat are the benefits of swaddling your baby?\nNewborns are born with something called the Moro reflex â an involuntary movement that can cause them to startle awake, often leaving them restless. By snugly wrapping your little one, you can limit this reflex, helping them to stay settled and asleep for longer stretches.\nAnother key benefit of swaddling is the comfort it provides. The sensation of being tightly wrapped mimics the cozy confines of the womb, which can be deeply reassuring for your little one. This sense of security often translates into reduced fussiness, as babies feel calmer and more content when swaddled.\nOf course, the parental benefits are fairly obvious â a calm, sleeping baby is the dream come bedtime, and swaddling can be a lifesaver during those inevitable crying spells. Many parents find that wrapping their baby helps soothe them when nothing else works.\nAnd last â but by no means least â swaddling can serve as a gentle introduction to the concept of self-settling. While newborns rely heavily on their parents for comfort, swaddling helps lay the groundwork for sleep independence.\nHow to swaddle your baby safely â a step-by-step guide\nSwaddling might seem simple, but just like rolling the perfect burrito, it requires a certain level of finesse. However, unlike rolling a burrito, getting it wrong may lead to an unsafe situation, so itâs well worth learning the correct steps!\n1. Lay the blanket flat\nStart by spreading a thin, breathable blanket out on a flat surface. Fold one corner down slightly to create a straight edge. This will form the top of the swaddle, where your babyâs head will rest.\n2. Position your tot\nPlace your baby on their back in the center of the blanket, with their neck aligned with the folded corner. Ensure their arms are in the desired position â either by their sides or bent up near their face, depending on their preference and comfort.\n3. Wrap one side snugly\nTake one corner of the blanket and wrap it across your babyâs chest, tucking it under their body. Make sure itâs snug but not overly tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the blanket and your babyâs chest.\n4. Bring up the rear\nFold the bottom corner of the blanket over your babyâs legs, ensuring their hips can move freely. This step is crucial for healthy hip development.\n5. Wrap it up!\nFinally, take the remaining corner of the blanket and bring it across your babyâs body, tucking it securely under their back. Double-check that the swaddle is secure but not restrictive, and that your baby can still wiggle their legs.\nSwaddling safety tips\nWhen swaddling your baby, be sure to always follow these guidelines so theyâre as safe as they are cozy and secure:\n\n\nUse a thin, breathable material like cotton muslin or cotton blankets. Avoid over-layering your baby.\n\n\nAvoid swaddling too tightly, as this can restrict your babyâs hip and knee movement, which can lead to hip dysplasia â the swaddle should be loose around the hips specifically.\n\n\nPosition your baby with their hips bent and knees apart so they can move freely.\n\n\nDon't swaddle above the shoulders. Your babyâs neck and head should never be covered.\n\n\nDouble, triple, and quadruple-check that the swaddle is secure before leaving your baby to sleep.\n\n\nAlways lay your baby to sleep on their back, never on their front or side.\n\n\nKeep the room where your baby sleeps at a cool temperature, no higher than 72°F.\n\n\nHow to choose the best swaddle for your baby\nTruth be told, choosing a blanket for your swaddling needs isnât all that tricky. The only factor you need to consider is the material itself. Youâve got two choices â
7743cotton or muslin. Both are perfect for swaddling, as they allow air to circulate, reducing the risk of overheating.\nHowever, if youâre new to swaddling, you might also consider a purpose-made swaddling blanket. These come equipped with velcro fastenings or baby-safe zippers, making it much easier to achieve a snug fit without the risk of a mid-snooze unraveling. Theyâre also great if youâre still concerned about your swaddling technique.\nHowever, for a more traditional (and cheaper) approach, a simple rectangular blanket works just fine. Just ensure itâs large enough to wrap securely, but not so large that it could easily become loose and cause a suffocation risk.\nWhen should you stop swaddling your baby?\nMost babies outgrow the need for swaddling between two to four months of age, but the exact timing varies depending on your childâs development. A key milestone to watch for is when your baby starts to roll over. This typically happens around the three- to four-month mark, but some babies may roll earlier.\nOnce your baby can roll onto their stomach, swaddling becomes unsafe. At this point, they need their arms free to push themselves back or adju
7743st their position. Itâs recommended that you stop swaddling your baby altogether by 16 weeks.\nWhich is best â swaddling with arms up or down?\nThe arms-up versus arms-up versus arms-down debate is one of the most common among new parents. Arms-down swaddling, where the arms are tucked snugly against the sides, is typically viewed as the âdefaultâ method. Itâs great for minimizing the startle reflex, and it tends to be the most widely accepted position for most babies, too.\nOn the other hand, some babies prefer to have their arms up, especially if they like to suck on their hands for comfort. Many swaddle blankets are designed to accommodate this position, with special arm openings or flaps that allow babies to keep their hands near their face.\nThereâs even a third option: arms across. This mimics the way many tots position themselves when theyâre self-soothing, and itâs a strong choice for babies who resist the arms down position, but donât seem too happy with arms up either.\nUltimately, the best position depends on your babyâs preferences. Some babies may like to have their arms down, others feel most at ease with them up, and still others might find the arms-across position to be the perfect compromise. Since you canât ask them, your best option is to experiment â sooner or later youâll find a position that works!\nIs it okay not to swaddle your baby?\nOf course! While swaddling can be beneficial, itâs by no means mandatory. Some babies simply donât enjoy being swaddled, and forcing it can cause more distress than comfort. If your baby seems happier sleeping without a swaddle, thatâs perfectly fine.\nThere are plenty of other ways to help your baby feel secure and promote good sleep. Skin-to-skin contact, soothing bedtime routines (such as baby massage or white noise), and using a baby sleep sack are all excellent alternatives. The most important thing is to follow your babyâs cues and do what works best for you both.\nCan you breastfeed a swaddled baby?\nYou wouldnât want to eat your lunch in a straitjacket! Your baby should always be unswaddled for feeds â whether youâre feeding them via breast or bottle â as itâs often not possible to achieve a good position or nipple attachment, while swaddling could also restrict your little oneâs digestive system.\nFeeding is also a sensory experience for babies, so itâs important for them to be able to move freely â even during night feeds when removing them from their swaddle can seem like an unwanted effort!\nHow do I know if my baby is swaddled too tightly?\nThe finger check.\nTo check if the swaddle is secure but not restrictive, try slipping two fingers between the blanket and your babyâs chest. If this is difficult or impossible, the swaddle is too tight.\nPay attention to your babyâs behavior as well. If they seem unusually fussy, have trouble breathing, or show signs of overheating, these could be indicators that the swaddle needs to be adjusted.\nWhether you choose arms up, down, or across â or even decide to skip swaddling altogether (not all babies like being swaddled!) â what matters most is that you follow your babyâs cues. With a little practice and often buckets of patience, youâll find a swaddling method that works best for your little one, ensuring theyâre able to make the most of their slumbertime â and youâre able to get a little shuteye of your own!\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7744 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:12:40 -0800", 7745 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:12:40 -0800", 7746 "author": { 7747 "@type": "Person", 7748 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-safely-swaddle-a-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7749 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-safely-swaddle-a-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7750 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7751 "image": { 7752 "@type": "ImageObject", 7753 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1790939342_415174db-accd-4c2a-934a-4c51ba786a67.jpg?v=1751999581", 7754 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1790939342_415174db-accd-4c2a-934a-4c51ba786a67.jpg?v=1751999581" 7755 }, 7756 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-safely-swaddle-a-baby", 7757 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7758 } 7759 , 7760{ 7761 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7762 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/safest-position-for-baby-to-sleep-in", 7763 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/safest-position-for-baby-to-sleep-in", 7764 "headline":"What is the Safest Sleep Position for a Baby?", 7765 "name":"What is the Safest Sleep Position for a Baby?", 7766 "description":"What sleep positions are recommended for newborns?As per the American Academy of Pediatricsâ safe sleep guid
7766ance, newborns should always be placed on their backs to sleep unless thereâs a medical reason not to. Known as the âsupineâ position, this is the safest sleep position because it minimizes the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is increased when a baby sleeps on their stomach or side.Itâs also important for newborns to sleep on a firm, flat mattress (with no incline or tilt) covered with a fitted sheet. Their bed should be free of any loose items or soft objects like pillows, loose bedding, or soft toys. To further reduce the risk of SIDS, itâs recommended that your baby sleeps in the same room as a parent or caregiver for at least the first six months.Why should newborns sleep on their backs?In the 1990s, a campaign called âBack to Sleepâ was launched, educating parents on the importance of placing newborn babies on their backs to sleep. This has led to a significant reduction in SIDS cases â in the US, for example, occurrences of SIDS have declined by more than 50% since the campaignâs introduction in 1994. For a newborn, sleeping on their side or stomach can dramatically increase the risk of SIDS. Stomach sleeping may multiply the risk by almost 13 times, for example, partly as thereâs a higher chance of their airway becoming blocked, while they can also rebreathe âexpiredâ air and take in too much carbon dioxide. This is why back sleeping is always the safest option.Isnât back sleeping dangerous for babies?Some parents fear that if their baby vomits or spits up during the night, thereâs a greater risk of them choking if theyâre sleeping on their back because of, well, gravity. This concern is understandable, but when a baby is on their back, their trachea (windpipe) sits above the esophagus (food pipe), so if they spit up, gravity pulls it down the esophagus and not into the airway.Conversely, when a baby sleeps on their stomach, the esophagus is above the trachea, meaning regurgitated fluids can flow more easily into the windpipe and increase the risk of choking.Is it safe for my baby to sleep on their side?Itâs not safe for your baby to sleep on their side until they can roll over on their own, which typically happens somewhere between 4 and 6 months. For newborns and babies who havenât yet mastered rolling by themselves, side sleeping increases the risk of them turning onto their stomach and not being able to reposition themselves â which poses a much greater risk of SIDS.When is it safe for a baby to sleep on their stomach?As with side sleeping, a baby can safely sleep on their stomach once theyâve gained the motor skills to roll over on both sides by themselves. Before this, stomach sleeping can be very dangerous as itâs associated with a higher risk of SIDS. You should always put your baby on their back to sleep.When your baby is able to roll over independently, thereâs not necessarily any need to reposition them if they happen to roll onto their side or stomach while sleeping. That said, when putting them down to sleep itâs best to still place them on their back â on a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet and no loose bedding or objects â until at least their first birthday.What if my baby rolls onto their stomach during the night?If your baby can roll over unaided â as theyâre usually able to from around 4-6 months â itâs not usually a cause for concern if they turn over onto their stomach during the night. Unless they appear uncomfortable or are struggling to breathe, you neednât panic or feel the need to flip them over onto their back every time.If your little one isnât yet capable of rolling by themselves, itâs unlikely theyâll be able to turn onto their stomach if laying on their back. If they do somehow manage it, gently turn them over onto their back, and consider monitoring them periodically to ensure theyâre sleeping in a safe and comfortable position.Of course, if youâre at all concerned about your babyâs sleeping positions, itâs always best to consult your pediatrician.What if my baby refuses to sleep on their back?Knowing that back sleeping is by far the safest way for your baby to snooze, it can be concerning if they resist sleeping on their back or become agitated when you try to lay them in this position. Most babies sleep happily on their backs, but if they do put up a fight, here are a few things you can do: Consider swaddling. For newborns, swaddling recreates the cozy, secure feeling of being in the womb, and can help soothe them to sleep while keeping them in a safe position.\nCheck for signs of discomfort. Your baby might be resistant to sleeping on their back if theyâre uncomfortable due to gas or reflux. In this case, consider feeding them earlier before bedtime and keep them upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding. \nAim for drowsy but awake. Laying your baby down for a doze when theyâre sleepy but not yet fully asleep can help them learn to self-settle, which may help them drift off more easily if theyâre typically resistant to bedtime.\nBe persistent. Until theyâre able to roll over, on their back is the only safe way for a baby to sleep. Itâs important to lay them on their back to sleep consistently, establishing a clockwork-like bedtime routine to signal when itâs time for bed.\nConsult your pediatrician. If your baby consistently refuses to sleep on their back and you can see no underlying reason, itâs best to seek professional advice.\nWe donât recommend the use of so-called âanti-rollâ devices or âsleep positionersâ, as these can increase the risk of suffocation. As mentioned above, aside from a firm mattress and a fitted sheet, nothing should be in your babyâs bed other than your baby.Of course, you canât keep your eyes on your baby every second theyâre sleeping â you need your rest, too â but remembering the mantra of âback to sleepâ and placing them on their back on a firm, flat surface is always safest for your baby. Itâs less of a concern when they develop the ability to roll back and forth themselves, but back sleeping is best for at least their first year. As they grow into a walking, talking little person, theyâll discover their favorite sleeping position all by themselves â maybe youâll even have a little starfish on your hands!Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7767 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 03:03:01 -0800", 7768 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 03:03:01 -0800", 7769 "author": { 7770 "@type": "Person", 7771 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/safest-position-for-baby-to-sleep-in/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7772 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/safest-position-for-baby-to-sleep-in/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7773 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7774 "image": { 7775 "@type": "ImageObject", 7776 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-155897805_f172023b-db17-440d-9cd6-6bb9193adf06.jpg?v=1750955061", 7777 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-155897805_f172023b-db17-440d-9cd6-6bb9193adf06.jpg?v=1750955061" 7778 }, 7779 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/safest-position-for-baby-to-sleep-in", 7780 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7781 } 7782 , 7783{ 7784 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7785 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-use-the-5-s-s", 7786 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-use-the-5-s-s", 7787 "headline":"How to Use the \"5 S's\" to Help Soothe Your Baby to Sleep", 7788 "name":"How to Use the \"5 S's\" to Help Soothe Your Baby to Sleep", 7789 "description":"Who invented the 5 Sâs of sleep?\nWeâve got Dr. Harvey Karp to thank for the 5 Sâs of sleep. A pediatrician and child development expert, Dr. Karp is renowned worldwide for developing this technique, first introducing it in his 2002 book The Happiest Baby on the Block.\nDuring his time with UCLAâs child abuse team, Dr. Karp witnessed first-hand how babies were often severely injured, abandoned, or killed â just for crying. Determined to do whatever he could to prevent this, he devoted all his time to figuring out the cause of colic (persistent crying most often seen in infants between 1-4 months of age).\nThe results of his research were fascinating. In 1981, he learned about the !Kung people of the Kalahari Desert. Among the !Kung, mothers rarely deal with prolonged crying because they spend nearly 24 hours a day holding, feeding, rocking, and jiggling their babies â essentially recreating the comforting sensations of the womb.\nAfter discovering this, Dr. Karp figured that parents need to understand just two things:\n\n\nBabies are born neurologically immature and need a âfourth trimesterâ of womb-like care.\n\n\nReplicating the soothing environment of the womb using simple but effective techniques is the best way to help a crying baby relax.\n\n\nThis second factor is because all tots have a calming reflex â a neurological response that essentially acts as natureâs off-switch for fussiness â and this is where Dr. Karp came up with the 5 Sâs.\nWhat are the 5 Sâs of sleep for babies?\nThe 5 Sâs stand for Swaddle, Side or Stomach Position, Shush, Swing, and Suck â quite a mouthful, but it makes for a great tongue twister!\nNow, letâs take a look at each of the Sâs in detail
7789:\nSwaddle\nEven us adults find it hard to sleep unless weâre feeling snug and cozy, and while we might not have any memories of being swaddled as babies, many will remember the safety and comfort of being âtucked inâ at bedtime.\nSwaddling â that is, wrapping your tot in a blanket to create a cocoon-like environment, mimicking the confined conditions of the womb â is the first of the Sâs. Itâs highly effective at reducing crying and can even prevent your baby from startling themselves awake, by reducing the Moro reflex.\nTo swaddle safely:\n\n\nUse a soft, breathable blanket and wrap it around your little one securely but not too tightly.\n\n\nMake sure your babyâs hips can move freely to avoid any risk of hip dysplasia.\n\n\nAvoid covering your babyâs face or allowing the blanket to loosen, as this can pose a suffocation risk.\n\n\nBe aware, too, that itâs not recommended to swaddle your baby for unsupervised sleep, as itâs thought that it may increase the risk of SIDS. Similarly, itâs only suitable for babies that arenât yet able to roll over â some babies develop this ability around 3-4 months, and you should avoid swaddling as soon as your baby displays rolling abilities (or by 16 weeks at the latest).\nItâs equally important to remember that not all babies enjoy being swaddled, so you should pay attention to their cues and not force swaddling upon them if they appear agitated or uncomfortable â it isnât right for every baby, and thatâs okay.\nSide or Stomach Position\nBabies often feel more comfortable when placed on their side or stomach while being soothed. Like swaddling, this position helps reduce the Moro reflex and can be especially helpful for babies with colic or reflux.\nItâs also worth mentioning that while the side or stomach position is a great way of calming your baby down when theyâre crying, you should always place your little one on their back when itâs time for them to sleep.\nShush\nNobody likes to be shushed â apart from babies. âShushingâ is a surprisingly potent way of calming your tot, perhaps thanks to the fact the sound mimics the white noise they wouldâve heard in the womb, where blood flow and amniotic fluids coalesce into a constant whooshing sound. Dreamy!\nYou can shush your tot the old-fashioned way, use a purpose-built white noise machine, or find a suitable white noise soundtrack on YouTube. Just make sure the volume isnât too loud â anything over 60dB could damage your totâs sensitive little ear drums â and if youâre using a white noise machine, it should be placed at least 2 meters from their crib.\nSwing\nThereâs a reason âRock-a-Bye-Babyâ is such a popular lullaby⦠Gentle, rhythmic motion â such as rocking or swinging â can have an almost magical effect on a fussy tot. This movement mimics the sensation of being rocked in the womb, creating a deep sense of safety, security, and relaxation.\nResearch proves that rocking â whether in your arms, or with a smart bassinet â can reduce crying, hasten sleep onset, and even improve overall sleep quality. However, if youâre trying to soothe a wailing tot, youâve got to adjust your technique accordingly. Instead of slow and steady, use faster, smaller motions, moving no more than an inch or two back and forth. Just remember to support your babyâs head and neck at all times.\nInterestingly, rocking isnât just beneficial for your little one, either. Studies also show that adults who were rocked before bedtime find it easier to drift off (so consider investing in a hammock if you often find yourself tossing and turning!)\nFor this âSâ, try:\n\n\nRocking your baby in your arms.\n\n\nWearing your baby in a sling or carrier while walking.\n\n\nUsing a baby swing (always follow safety guidelines and avoid prolonged use).\n\n\nJust be sure to transition your baby to a stationary sleep environment once theyâre ready for a nap. You should never let your baby sleep in a swing, for example â instead, transfer them to a firm mattress when theyâre tired.\nSuck\nThe final S really sucksâ¦\nResearch shows that non-nutritive sucking (sucking on a pacifier, for example) can reduce crying and help regulate a babyâs heart rate. And better yet, it may al
7789so reduce the risk of SIDS when used during sleep.\nIf youâre breastfeeding though, try to establish a strong nursing routine before introducing a pacifier to avoid nipple confusion, otherwise your baby may get fussy when making the switch from teat to breast.\nWhat should I do if the 5 Sâs technique doesnât work?\nWhile weâre firm believers of Dr. Karpâs techniques, we also understand that what works for one tot wonât necessarily work for the next. Babies are complex little creatures, so donât be discouraged if youâve tried all of the steps above and your baby is still in miniature foghorn mode.\nIf this is the case, try these extra tips and tricks:\n\n\nMake sure your baby isnât hungry, has a clean diaper, and isnât too hot or cold. Sometimes the solution is simpler than it seems.\n\n\nThey might be unwell. Look for signs like fever, rash, or vomiting, and consult your pediatrician if youâre concerned.\n\n\nTry modifying your technique. If swaddling isnât working, have you tried combining it with white noise? What about singing a lullaby while swinging?\n\n\nItâs natural to feel stressed when your baby wonât stop crying, but remember that babies are highly attuned to their parentsâ emotions. Try to stay calm and patient â your baby will sense this and may feel more at ease.\n\n\nReach out for support. Donât hesitate to ask for help, whether from a partner, family member, or friend. Sleep deprivation can take a toll on your mental health\n\n\nMastering the 5 Sâs wonât turn your tot into a quiet, peaceful sleeper overnight (weâll let you know
7789when we figure out how to achieve that!), but it will arm you with a set of powerful, scientifically-backed tools to navigate those early, challenging few months. \nSleepless nights suck (pun absolutely intended), but every evening spent soothing your troubled tot brings you closer to understanding the tricks and techniques your baby responds to best.

Itâs often referred to as âcrib deathâ because it tends to happen when babies are left unattended in their sleeping environments, but SIDS can happen anywhere. SIDS happens most often in babies under 6 months of age, with the peak risk occurring between 1 and 4 months. From 6 months onward, the risk of SIDS drops significantly.How common is SIDS?As we mentioned up top, SIDS is very rare, affecting less than 0.1% of live births in the US. While itâs uncommon, however, this still amounts to around 3,400 babies per year.Thankfully, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the rate of SIDS has been declining over the past few decades, and this is due in large part to an increased awareness about safe sleep practices.Do we know the exact cause of SIDS?Frustratingly, no â the exact cause of SIDS is unknown. Despite decades of research, no single factor has been pinpointed. But what we do know is that babies who experience SIDS often have other issues with how their brain controls automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The most popular theory behind SIDS is called the Triple Risk Hypothesis. This proposes that 3 factors increase the risk of a baby suffering from SIDS:\nAn underlying abnormality or immaturity in the babyâs automatic functions.\nThe babyâs age, with increased risk during the first few months of life.\nEnvironmental factors, such as stomach sleeping, overheating, or obstructions to the nose or mouth, such as from a loose blanket. \nItâs also worth noting that up to 10% of SIDS deaths are due to irregular heartbeats, and some SIDS cases may have their root in an immune response resulting from an infection. Some cases have even been linked to seizures.What are the SIDS risk factors?Youâve probably heard that there are a lot of factors that can influence SIDS risk, and while itâs not something anyone wants to obsess over, knowing the key risk factors can help you make informed choices. Here are some of the big ones to keep in mind:\nSleep position: Babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides are at a higher risk. More on that in a second, but bottom line: back is best.\nSleep environment: Think of the crib as your babyâs âsleep zoneâ. The fewer hazards, the better â no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals (no matter how cute they look).\nParental smoking: Babies whose parents smoke are more at risk. This includes smoking during pregnancy or around the baby after birth.\nPrematurity or low birth weight: Babies who were born prematurely or with a low birth weight are at a slightly higher risk of SIDS. Their bodies are still working on developing all the systems they need, including the ones that regulate sleep and breathing.\nOverheating: Babies canât regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so itâs essential to make sure theyâre dressed appropriately (avoiding excessive layers) and the room is set to a comfortable temperature.\nWhy is stomach sleeping dangerous?You might have heard that âback is bestâ when it comes to sleeping, and thereâs a very good reason for that. Stomach sleeping significantly increases the risk of SIDS.When babies sleep on their stomachs, their airways can get blocked more easily. Plus, theyâre at a higher risk of rebreathing their own exhaled air, which can lower the oxygen level in their blood and mess with their breathing.On top of that, when babies sleep on their stomachs, itâs harder for them to lift their heads or turn them if theyâre uncomfortable or if their breathing is restricted. Since babies' muscles and motor skills are still developing, they donât have the ability to adjust their position as quickly as older children or adults.So, to keep it simple: always place your baby on their back to sleep.What age are babies most vulnerable to SIDS?More than 9 in 10 SIDS-related deaths occur in the first 6 months, with babies most at risk between 1-4 months old. This is the peri
7812od where most cases of SIDS occur, and itâs why the first few months of your babyâs life can feel like an endless cycle of worrying (and lack of sleep).The good news is, the risk of SIDS drops significantly after 6 months, and reduces further after 8 months. By the time your baby reaches their first birthday, the risk of SIDS is much lower. However, itâs important to continue with safe sleep practices to keep your little one as safe as possible.Hereâs a rough breakdown of SIDS risk by age:\n0-1 months: Low risk. SIDS is very uncommon during the first month of life.\n1-4 months: Highest risk. The majority of SIDS cases occur between 1 and 4 months, making it the most high-risk period.\n4-6 months: Significant risk. While SIDS cases are rarer after 4 months, the risk remains fairly high for the first 6 months of your babyâs life.\n6-8 months: Reduced risk. Fewer than 10% of SIDS cases occur after 6 months, so the risk is much lower at this stage.\n8-12 months: Low risk. SIDS is very rare after 8 months, but you should still follow safe sleep guidelines to ensure your baby is safe while snoozing.\nHow to reduce the risk of SIDSSo, with all of the above in mind â how do we prevent SIDS and keep our babies as safe as can be while theyâre snoozinâ? Here are some essential guidelines that experts recommend:\nPut them on their back: Always lay your baby down on their back to sleep (no tummy sleeping), even during naps. \nUse a firm, flat mattress: Your baby should sleep on a firm, flat surface with no soft bedding, pillows, or soft toys.\nAvoid smoking: You should never smoke during pregnancy or around your baby, as this can dramatically increase the risk of SIDS. The same applies to anyone holding or caring for your little one.\nKeep baby cool: Dress your baby in light layers and keep the room temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C). Adjust their layers accordingly if they feel too hot or too cold.\nConsider room-sharing, not bed-sharing: Itâs recommended that babies sleep in the same room as you (but not in your bed) for at least the first six months. This helps with monitoring while still keeping them safe.\nBreastfeed where possible: If youâre able to breastfeed, this has been shown to lower the risk of SIDS.\nBy following these tips, you can help reduce the risk of SIDS and give your baby the safest sleep environment possible.Does room sharing help reduce the risk of SIDS?Room-sharing can significantly reduce the risk of SIDS, and this is backed by evidence from the American Academy of Pediatrics â the AAP recommends that babies sleep in their parentsâ room for at least the first 6 months. Sleeping in the same room as your baby makes it much easier to monitor them during the night and respond like lightning if you notice anything unusual. A bassinet or a crib next to your bed for the first 6 months is the safest place for your tot to sleep.We understand, SIDS is a scary topic â but forewarned is forearmed. By following all of the expert-approved advice above, youâll reduce the likelihood of SIDS and ensure your totâs snoozing sessions are as safe as possible.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7813 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 02:45:17 -0800", 7814 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 02:45:17 -0800", 7815 "author": { 7816 "@type": "Person", 7817 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sids-risk-by-age/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7818 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sids-risk-by-age/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7819 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7820 "image": { 7821 "@type": "ImageObject", 7822 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1438282265_a0d2e6be-36e8-45ee-9a34-0e797035ce77.jpg?v=1750955059", 7823 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1438282265_a0d2e6be-36e8-45ee-9a34-0e797035ce77.jpg?v=1750955059" 7824 }, 7825 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sids-risk-by-age", 7826 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7827 } 7828 , 7829{ 7830 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7831 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-baby-sleep-with-a-blanket", 7832 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-baby-sleep-with-a-blanket", 7833 "headline":"When Can My Baby Start Sleeping with a Blanket?", 7834 "name":"When Can My Baby Start Sleeping with a Blanket?", 7835 "description":"Is it safe for a newborn to sleep with a blanket?\nIf weâre talking about covering your baby with a loose blanket, the answerâs no. Loose blankets pose a significant safety risk to babies under 12 months old, since thereâs a danger of the blanket covering their nose or mouth and causing suffocation. Because of this, the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is dramatically increased. The same goes for comforters, pillows, and soft toys.\nHowever, as long as itâs tucked in snugly on all sides â with your babyâs feet at the foot of the crib and the blanket coming no higher than their shoulders â then itâs generally safe for your newborn to sleep with a blanket. Just remember that they should sleep on their back on a firm, flat surface, free from any loose bedding or objects.\nHow else can I keep my baby w
7835arm at night?\nIn addition to using a safely tucked-in blanket, there are a few other things you can do to keep them warm and snuggly enough as they sleep â especially in the winter months when their room might get particularly chilly. For example:\n\n\nUse a sleep sack or sleeping bag, ensuring it fits snugly while still allowing your baby to move their legs freely.\n\n\nKeep the room temperature at 68â72°F (20â22°C), as this creates the optimal conditions for safe, comfortable sleep.\n\n\nAdd layers â for example, a snug-fitting onesie and a pair of footed pajamas (if in doubt, dress your baby in one more layer than youâd wear in the same room).\n\n\nIf itâs particularly cold, keep their hands and feet covered with mittens and socks â but ensure they fit snugly so they canât slip off and cause a hazard.\n\n\nOf course, while you want to create a warm, cozy environment for your little one, itâs essential not to risk overheating your baby by putting them in too many layers or setting the room temperature too high. If their back or neck feel sweaty to the touch, you should consider removing a layer of clothing or lowering the temperature.\nWhen is it safe for a baby to sleep with a loose blanket?\nAs per the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), itâs not safe for your baby to sleep with any loose bedding or objects in their sleeping area â including soft toys, pillows, and blankets â until theyâre at least 12 months old, while many experts suggest itâs best to wait at least 18 months (especially if your baby was born prematurely).\nBy 12 months, most babies have developed the physical and motor skills needed to roll over, reposition themselves, and push objects away if they obstruct their breathing, so itâs generally much safer to introduce loose bedding. Thereâs also a much lower risk of SIDS at this stage, so the presence of a loose blanket poses less of a safety concern.\nIf you do decide to let your baby sleep with a loose blanket from 12 months onwards, here are a few factors to consider:\n\n\nChoose a blanket made from a thin, breathable material such as cotton or muslin.\n\n\nAvoid heavy, thick blankets like quilt
7835s of comforters.\n\n\nMake sure the blanket has no loose elements attached like buttons, ribbons, or tassels.\n\n\nThe blanket should be appropriately-sized for your little one â with no excess blanket hanging over their crib or bed.\n\n\nTo introduce a loose blanket safely, itâs often best to offer it during supervised naps at first, so you can see how your baby adjusts. You should lay the blanket securely across them, tucking it in at the sides of the crib if needed to reduce movement. Itâs important to place the blanket no higher than their shoulders to avoid covering their face.\nCan I swaddle my baby in a blanket?\nYes. While itâs not recommended to let your baby sleep with a loose blanket until at least 12 months of age, swaddling them in one is a different matter. This involves snugly wrapping them in a thin, breathable blanket, creating a womb-like sense of security and calm â which can help to tame your babyâs Moro reflex and encourage longer, deeper sleep.\nSwaddling your baby isnât something you should necessarily do for every sleep, but it can be useful for those times theyâre feeling particularly fussy or sleep-resistant.\nIn order to swaddle your baby safely, itâs important to remember the following:\n\n\nAlways place your swaddled baby on their back on a firm, flat surface.\n\n\nKeep the swaddle snug but not too tight, ensuring theyâre comfortable but allowing for natural movement.\n\n\nDress your baby in light layers to avoid overheating.\n\n\nAvoid placing any loose items in the bed such as pillows or soft toys.\n\n\nWhen should I stop swaddling my baby?\nYou should avoid swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs theyâre able to roll over. Swaddling restricts movement, so it can be dangerous if your baby manages to roll onto their stomach and is then unable to roll back into a safe sleeping position.\nBabies usually show signs of ârollabilityâ at around 2 months, but you should stop swaddling altogether by 16 weeks at the very latest.\nThe blanket-or-no-blanket debate can be a little confusing, since they can be great for things like swaddling but canât be used as loose bedding for at least the first year. The general rule is: covering your newborn in a snugly tucked-in blanket is perfectly fine, but sleeping with a loose blanket is a no-no until theyâre at least 12 months old. \nFor more information on creating the optimal conditions for safe, cozy sleep, take a look at our guides to setting your babyâs room temperature and how to dress them for bed.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in December 2024.", 7836 "datePublished": "2025-01-17 02:33:06 -0800", 7837 "dateModified": "2025-01-17 02:33:06 -0800", 7838 "author": { 7839 "@type": "Person", 7840 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-baby-sleep-with-a-blanket/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7841 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-baby-sleep-with-a-blanket/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7842 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7843 "image": { 7844 "@type": "ImageObject", 7845 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1362814021_21f65b53-63d7-4fea-a144-b95b8ea15dc6.jpg?v=1752190936", 7846 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1362814021_21f65b53-63d7-4fea-a144-b95b8ea15dc6.jpg?v=1752190936" 7847 }, 7848 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/when-can-baby-sleep-with-a-blanket", 7849 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7850 } 7851 , 7852{ 7853 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7854 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-help-teething-baby-sleep", 7855 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-help-teething-baby-sleep", 7856 "headline":"How to Help Your Teething Baby Sleep at Night", 7857 "name":"How to Help Your Teething Baby Sleep at Night", 7858 "description":"Why wonât my teething baby sleep?\nWe can sum this up in two words: severe discomfort. As you might expect, the process of your little oneâs teeth literally pushing their way through their gums can cause all sorts of tenderness, inflammation, and pain. This is doubly true during the evening when there are fewer distractions.\nTeething tots may even experience additional symptoms like drooling, mild fever, or even diarrhea â all of which arenât exactly conducive to a good nightâs sleepâ¦\nAnd then thereâs the disruption in feeding patterns. Some babies may refuse to nurse or bottle-feed due to gum pain, which can have a knock-on effect at bedtime when hunger prevents them from settling.\nHow long does teething last?\nEach tooth usually takes between 1-7 days to break the gumline, and the discomfort can begin a few days before the tooth emerges and continue for a few days after.\nTeething typically starts at around 4-7 months of age (which can sometimes coincide with the 4-month sleep regression) but itâs not uncommon for some tots to start teething earlier or later. As with all developmental milestones, every baby reaches them at their own pace.\nTeething continues well into toddlerhood, and most children will have their full set of bite-sized pearly whites by the age of three.\nTeething stages\nLetâs take a look at a rough teething timeline. Remember â every tot is different, but this guide will give you a good general overview of what to expect at each stage.\nPre-teething stage: Babies are born with 20 primary teeth (or âmilk teethâ) in the jawbones beneath their gums.\nIncisors: The lower and upper incisors (the front teeth) are typically the first to appear, usually between 6â8 months of age, but the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort may start even earlier. Before the teeth erupt from the gums, your tot may start chewing on their toys, blanket, your boob â basically anything they can fit in their mouth. This is normal baby behaviour and n
7858ot necessarily a sign of teething, but it may become more frequent as their first teeth begin to appear.\nPressure helps to alleviate the pain, so rather than prevent them from chewing, keep a few chew-safe items to hand. Itâs also worth investing in a bib â while drooling is also very common in babies whether theyâre teething or not, their drool production will likely ramp up at this stage, and keeping their chin dry will prevent any rashes from forming around their mouth.\nFirst molars: Emerging between 12â16 months, these can be particularly painful due to their larger size. Expect more drool, more fussiness, and more things to chew, please! \nYou might also notice a change in appetite or diarrhea at this stage too. If thatâs the case, donât worry, this is relatively normal â as are the sleep disturbances youâll both experience. However, if your totâs symptoms seem particularly extreme, itâs always worth consulting a pediatrician, just to be on the safe side.\nCanines (pointy teeth): Between 16-22 months of age, the canines will surface. As with stage 2 and 3, make sure your little oneâs got plenty of chewables, and a bib for their drool.\nSecond molars: Now itâs time for the large molars â and this can get particularly painful. These are the biggest teeth, and once they start to come through â usually around 2 years of age â you might find that your normal soothing techniques are no longer viable. Unfortunately, all you can do is try your best to ease their discomfort using some of the tips and tricks detailed below.\nHow to help your teething tot get some sleep\nWhile teething an extremely uncomfortable and painful phase of life, itâs also a necessary one. Every tot has to go through the teething stage â but with the tips below, you can soothe your babyâs discomfort and raise the likelihood of a peaceful nightâs sleep for the both of you.\nChill their mouth\nCold can numb the pain and reduce inflammation. Try offering your baby a chilled (not frozen) teething toy or washcloth to chew on. You can also let them sip from a bottle of cold water or offer them some chilled watermelon, cucumber, or yoghurt if theyâre old enough. Just ensure whatever they put in their mouth is clean and safe to chew.\nOffer a teething ring\nTeething rings are a classic remedy for a reason. Many are designed with textured surfaces that massage the gums, providing relief. Opt for BPA-free silicone or rubber options, and avoid ones filled with liquid, as they can leak if punctured.\nMassage the gums\nUse a clean finger or a damp gauze pad to gently rub your babyâs gums. This can provide instant relief by counteracting the pressure from erupting teeth. Some parents also find success using a teething gel or purpose-made silicone finger sheath, but consult your pediatrician before applying any products directly to your babyâs gums.\nTry over-the-counter medication\nIf your babyâs discomfort is severe, over-the-counter infant pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen (for babies over 6 months) can help. Just remember to consult your pediatrician before administering medication and ensure youâre using the correct dosage for your babyâs weight and age.\nGet rid of drool\nExcess drooling is a common teething symptom that can cause rashes around the mouth and chin. Keep their face dry by gently dabbing with a soft cloth throughout the day, and if you notice your little oneâs skin is drying out, use a baby-safe moisturiser or barrier cream as an extra defense.\nStick to your bedtime routine\nFamiliar rituals like a warm bath, a gentle massage, or a lullaby can help signal to your baby that itâs time to wind down. Even if teething interrupts their sleep, maintaining a routine will make it easier to re-establish healthy habits later.\nTry using a bottle\nIf your totâs over 6 months of age, you can try filling a sippy cup with water and letting them suck on it to relieve their pain. Only use water or breastmilk, though â sugary liquids or juices will cause tooth decay!\nDo teething babies sleep more often?\nContrary to what some parents might believe, teething doesnât typically make babies sleep more. In fact, itâs more likely to disrupt sleep due to the discomfort it causes. However, some babies might seem drowsy during the day as a result of disrupted nighttime sleep.\nAs always, keep an eye on your baby â if theyâre unusually lethargic or sleeping excessively, it could be a sign of illness rather than teething, and you should consult your pediatrician.\nD
7858oes teething cause sleep regression?\nWhile teething itself doesnât cause sleep regression, it can introduce temporary sleep disruptions, and the emergence of the first teeth can sometimes coincide with the 4-month sleep regression. Fortunately though, once the tooth breaks through and the discomfort subsides, your babyâs sleep patterns should normalise.\nLike so many other troublesome developmental periods, teething can feel like an uphill battle â but as always, patience is key! The methods weâve included here should help your little one find some comfort during bedtime, but trial and error is often required.

Thereâs a reason why singing lullabies has remained a practice used universally by parents for thousands of years â from Ancient Egypt and medieval England to the remote tribes of the Amazon, the power of music has been understood for millennia.And the benefits go beyond sleep, too. In 2002, a study found that music improved premature babiesâ heart rates and breathing patterns. Similarly, music therapy has been shown to reduce stress in babies and even promote healthy cognitive development. Whatâs the best music for baby sleep?Assuming your baby hasnât figured out how to create their own playlists (and if they have, congrats on your little genius!) thereâs going to be a little guesswork involved here. Just like adults, every tot has their own musical tastes, so what works for one baby might not necessarily work for another.However, thanks to the thousands of years of trial and error performed by the billions of parents before us, weâve learned a thing or two about the type of tunes babies tend to dig. The best music for baby sleep tends to be:\nGentle and slow-paced: Songs with a tempo of around 60-80 beats per minute (similar to a resting heart rate) tend to work well, as they mimic the rhythm of your heartbeat â a familiar soundtrack from their days in the womb. The juryâs out on whether babies consider songs with this tempo âthrowback anthemsâ, but we like the idea nonetheless. \nSimple and repetitive: Babies find comfort in predictability, so songs with repetitive melodies and rhythms are a surefire hit.\nSoft and low-volume: This probably goes without saying, but loud or sudden sounds are likely to startle your tot, so itâs a good idea to avoid the thrash metal for now. Besides, rock music is far more suited to the chaos of toddlerdom, no?\nWhich genres of music do babies like the best?Provided youâre not relying on music to calm your baby before bed, basically anything goes. From Baby Shark to Mozartâs 5th, little ones have broad tastes. As long as the tunes are kept to a safe volume (below 50dB), feel free to experiment. However, if youâre looking for specific recommendations for soothing your baby to sleep, may we suggest:Ambient music for babiesA genre widely believed to be invented by Erik Satie, ambient music â or as he referred to it, âfurniture musicâ â is unobtrusive, relaxing, and in many cases, utterly hypnotic, making it ideal bedtime listening. Track recommendations:âWeightlessâ by Marconi Union â often cited as one of the most relaxing songs ever created, this track is ideal for winding down.â19â by Aphex Twin â an artist more typically associated with frenetic, clamorous electronica, this dreamy soundscape is one of several ambient compositions with a reputation for utter relaxation among listeners.â1\/1â by Brian Eno â the opening track from âMusic for Airportsâ, an album designed to calm listeners who suffer from a fear of flying. Classical music for babiesWhile the so-called âMozart Effectâ (the claim that listening to classical music boosts IQ) is still debated, thereâs no denying its calming and engaging qualities. Not sure where to start? Try these on for size:Track recommendations:âGymnopedie No. 1â by Erik Satie â instantly recognisable and endlessly replayable. The cozy, ambling composition is considered one of the very first ambient compositions. âClair de Luneâ by Debussy â French for âmoonlightâ, Clair de Lune is arguably one of the most relaxing piano pieces ever composed.âNotturnoâ by Ottorino Respighi â a beautiful, breathy composition, perfect for bedtime. Jazz music for babiesJazz can be surprisingly soothing for babies â but weâd recommend against taking your baby to a smoky bar in the city to enjoy it. Try these classics and see how they react:Track recommendations:âWhat a Wonderful Worldâ by Louis Armstrong â a timeless classic with a soothing melody and Louisâ trademark hu
7881sky tones. âPeace Pieceâ by Bill Evans â the ultimate âletâs tuck up and get cozyâ soundtrack. âDream a Little Dream of Meâ by The Mamas \u0026amp; The Papas â this soft, lullaby-like tune is perfect for cuddles.Lullabies for infant sleepLullabies have been used for centuries to calm fussy babies and encourage sleep. Why are they so effective? The answer lies in their structure and emotional tone. Most lullabies feature slow tempos, simple melodies, and soothing lyrics, all of which work together to relax both the body and mind.Research backs up the efficacy of lullabies in promoting sleep. A study published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing found that singing lullabies to babies not only helped them fall asleep faster but also improved the parent-child bond. Another study from the University of Montreal noted that live singing helps babies to develop a knack for emotional self-control.The best lullabies for baby sleepSome timeless lullabies have stood the test of time for good reason. Here are a few classics you might consider:âTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Starâ: This gentle melody is a universal favorite, with simple lyrics that practically everyone knows off-by-heart.âBrahmsâ Lullabyâ (Wiegenlied): A staple in baby playlists, this classical piece has a serene and repetitive structure perfect for inducing sleep.âHush, Little Babyâ: This traditional lullabyâs soothing tune and promise of comfort make it a go-to for bedtime routines.âRock-a-Bye Babyâ: While the lyrics may seem a bit dramatic, the melody is undeniably soothing and has been used for generations.What about white noise?While music is undeniably effective, white noise has also gained popularity as a sleep aid for babies. White noise mimics the whooshing sounds of the womb, creating a familiar and comforting environment. It can also mask household noises that might otherwise disrupt your babyâs sleep.Weâve discussed the potential benefits and drawbacks of white noise at length in our comprehensive white noise for babies article, but hereâs a brief overview of the pros and cons:Pros:\nHelps babies fall asleep faster by creating a consistent auditory environment.\nMasks sudden sounds like doors closing or dogs barking.\nCan be easily incorporated into bedtime routines using apps or white noise machines.\nCons:\nOver-reliance on white noise could make it harder for babies to fall asleep without it.\nPlaying white noise at too high a volume (above 50 decibels) could potentially harm a babyâs hearing.\nHow to introduce music into your babyâs bedtime routineReady to get those tunes thumpinâ (at a safe and reasonable volume of 60dB or less)? Follow these final tips below:\nStick to a routine: Babies thrive on consistency. Playing the same type of music at the same time each night can signal that itâs time for sleep.\nChoose the right volume: Keep the music soft enough that it doesnât overwhelm your babyâs senses. Remember: keep it to 60dB or less!\nAvoid overstimulation: Songs with rapid tempos, dramatic shifts, or loud choruses can be too stimulating for bedtime. Save these for playtime!\nGive a live performance: Babies have a preference for their primary caregiverâs voice, so donât be afraid to sing yourself â regardless of whether you hit every note perfectly!\nUltimately, every baby is different, and finding the right music might require a bit of trial and error. Some infants might respond better to traditional lullabies, while others find comfort in classical piano or gentle acoustic guitar. Some may even prefer the sound of silence â we canât all be music aficionados. The key is to observe your babyâs reactions and adjust accordingly.Reviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 7882 "datePublished": "2025-01-15 01:31:21 -0800", 7883 "dateModified": "2025-01-15 01:31:21 -0800", 7884 "author": { 7885 "@type": "Person", 7886 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-music/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7887 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-music/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7888 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7889 "image": { 7890 "@type": "ImageObject", 7891 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1321335819_87a06b20-8976-4a62-9c04-4f9aa75e4362.jpg?v=1750955058", 7892 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1321335819_87a06b20-8976-4a62-9c04-4f9aa75e4362.jpg?v=1750955058" 7893 }, 7894 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-music", 7895 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7896 } 7897 , 7898{ 7899 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7900 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-should-newborns-wear-to-sleep", 7901 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-should-newborns-wear-to-sleep", 7902 "headline":"What Should Newborns Wear to Sleep? A Season-by-Season Guide", 7903 "name":"What Should Newborns Wear to Sleep? A Season-by-Season Guide", 7904 "description":"Choosing baby sleep clothing: Factors to keep in mind\nBefore we dive into your totâs seasonal sleepwear lookbook, letâs go over the non-negotiables â the elements every item of clothing should have:\nFirst, letâs talk about safety. Clothes might not seem inherently dangerous, but safe sleep guidelines are a crucial consideration when picking out your little oneâs nighttime attire. Avoid overly bulky or loose clothing â these could pose a suffocation risk. Instead, seek out snug-fitting garments made from breathable fabrics. This way, youâll reduce the risk of overheating, too.\nSecond up: comfort. Babies are divas when it comes to textures, and their skin is pretty prone to irritation, so choose soft, natural materials where possible â cotton or bamboo are your best bets.\nBabies canât regulate their body temperature as well as adults either, so pay close attention to the ambient temperature of their room and dress them in snug-fitting layers that they canât kick off. As a general rule, pop on one more layer than youâd wear.\nAnd finally, diapers. Poop is an inevitability of parenthood, so plan for it. Late-night diaper changes are difficult enough as it is, so opt for outfits with quick access to ground zero. Complicated garments might look
7904sweet in the daylight, but once youâve grappled with cumbersome fastenings at 3 AM, youâll understand what weâre talking aboutâ¦\nDressing your baby for sleep through the seasons\nTo misquote Carole King: âWinter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, all youâve gotta do is ⦠dress your baby appropriately.â\nWinter\nSnugness is the order of the season in Winter, but the challenge lies in keeping your tot toasty without overheating them.\nWe recommend going with a long-sleeved onesie as a base layer, followed by footed pajamas crafted from thick cotton. A baby-safe sleep sack with a TOG rating of 2.5 can provide additional warmth too, without the need for any extra blankets.\nAvoid hats, though. While, admittedly, rather adorable, headwear can increase the risk of overheating and pose a suffocation risk if it comes loose.\nSpring\nBeing a transitional season, Spring can be tricky â especially if youâre somewhere where March, April, and May can often feel like unpredictable extensions of Winter!\nFlexibility is your friend here. In warmer evenings, a short-sleeved onesie paired with some lightweight footed pajamas should be your go-to. If youâre dealing with chillier conditions, lean on layering to keep your little one comfy.\nSummer\nThose hot summer nights can prove tricky from a sleepwear standpoint. Yes, youâve got to keep your baby cool, but youâve also got to protect them from any draughts from fans, open windows, or air conditioning.\nGenerally, a short-sleeved onesie or even just a diaper covered by a lightweight sleep sack (TOG 0.5 or less) should be enough â but pay attention to your totâs cues. If they seem fussy, that might indicate that a change of attire is required. If you notice clamminess or their skin seems flushed, try cooling them down by removing a layer.\nTry to avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester. Breathable fabrics like cotton, bamboo, or merino wool â all of which have excellent moisture-wicking properties â and will help keep your baby comfortable in the heat.\nFall\nAs Summer gives way to the cooler Autumn weather, itâs time to get cozy again. Layering is key here â a long-sleeved onesie paired with footed pajamas is a classic choice. A medium-weight sleep sack will also help your tot stay toasty â choose one with a TOG rating of 1.0 for particularly chilly evenings.\nThe best types of baby sleepwear\nAs youâve likely gathered by now, there are loads of options when it comes to infant sleepwear. Whether youâre in the market for newborn sleepwear, or some cozy nighttime staples for a toddler, weâve listed all possible options below:\nSleep sacks\nThe ultimate in coziness, a sleep
7904sack is essentially a wearable blanket. They come in a range of TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) ratings, so theyâre generally suitable for all seasons. Plenty of warmth, and no risk of entanglement â sleep sacks are an ideal, super-safe way to keep your little one comfortable, no matter the time of year.\nBlankets\nBlankets are a huge no-no for unsupervised sleep before your baby reaches 12 months of age, but if your totâs settling down for a nap by your side, a blanket is just fine â just stick to breathable fabrics like muslin or fleece for ultimate comfort.\nFooted pajamas\nAll the coziness, sans socks. Footed pajamas are uber-comfortable and most even come equipped with handy zippers, making nighttime diaper changes a piece of cake. They also provide a greater degree of movement for your baby once theyâre up and about.\nOnesies\nThe cornerstone of any babyâs wardrobe, onesies are super versatile and come in a range of sleeve lengths â shorter for warmer months, longer for chillier ones. Theyâre perfect as a base layer, or as a standalone piece, depending on the temperature.\nSocks\nKeeping your totâs tiny toes warm is important, so stocking up on socks is always a good idea. Just keep in mind that theyâre notorious for slipping off â especially on fussier babies. This is why the best baby socks have built-in soft elastic bands, allowing the socks to stay in place without digging in.\nMittens\nSimilar to socks, mittens are prone to be pulled off, so if youâre set on getting a pair or two, avoid any that have choking hazards like buttons, ribbons, or toggles. Mittens are also ideal if your tot tends to scratch their face.\nSwaddles\nSwaddling is a brilliant way to help your baby settle down, and a dedicated swaddling blanket is a worthwhile addition to any infantâs sleepwear collection. Swaddling reduces your totâs startle reflex, making them less prone to frequent waking, but itâs important to follow safe swaddling guidelines at all times. Hereâs a quick guide to safe swaddling:\n\n\nSpread the swaddle blanket flat on a surface in a diamond shape. Fold down the top corner to create a straight edge, forming a small triangle.\n\n\nPlace your baby on their back with their shoulders just below the folded edge. Their head should be above the blanket to ensure nothing covers their face.\n\n\nGently straighten your babyâs left arm along their side. Take the left corner of the blanket and bring it across their body, tucking it snugly under their right side. Leave the right arm free for now.\n\n\nFold the bottom of the blanket up over your babyâs feet. Tuck the fabric into the top of the swaddle without restricting leg movement. The baby should be able to bend their legs freely to avoid hip issues.\n\n\nStraighten your babyâs right arm along their side. Bring the right corner of the blanket across their body and tuck it snugly under their left side, creating a secure fit.\n\n\nEnsure the swaddle is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the swaddle and your babyâs chest. Their hips and legs should remain loose and able to move within the blanket.\n\n\nHow to tell if my baby is cold at night\nWondering if youâve got a chilly tot? Thankfully, itâs fairly easy to tell if your babyâs in need of a little extra warmth. Look out for the following signs:\n\n\nPale complexion\n\n\nSkin cold to the touch\n\n\nFrequent waking or fussiness\n\n\nRosy red cheeks\n\n\nLack of interest in feeding\n\n\nIf you notice one or more of the signs above, check the room temperature â the ideal range is between 68 and 72°F (20-22°C).\nHow to tell if my baby is too hot at night\nOverheating is just as dangerous to your baby as being too chilly â especially as itâs linked to an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. These are the signs to look out for:\n\n\nSweaty neck or head\n\n\nFlushed, red or blotchy skin â particularly on the face\n\n\nRapid breathing\n\n\nIncreased lethargy or drowsiness\n\n\nWarm chest or back\n\n\nIf you notice any of the signs above, consider adjusting their clothing. If theyâre wearing a few layers, remove one or tw
7904o, or switch to lighter fabrics. Check the roomâs temperature, remembering to keep it in the goldilocks zone of 68-72°F (20-22°C). Consider offering a feed too, just to keep their hydration levels up.\nHowever, itâs important not to overcorrect. Cooling your baby too rapidly can be just as dangerous as leaving them to stew in sauna-like conditions â adjust the roomâs temperature gradually.\nKitting your little one out with a wardrobe full of slumber-ready clothing items is crucial if youâre keen for your tot to get the most out of their naps â day or night. But itâs not just about their attire â thereâs a fine art to putting your baby to bed, and every detail matters.

It means theyâre able to fall asleep independently, as well as settling themselves back to sleep â with minimal fussing and crying â when they wake up.Babiesâ early sleep patterns are pretty erratic, and itâs normal for them to wake frequently during the night. Developing the capacity to self-settle means they donât necessarily rely on you to console them every time they rouse â which helps them get better quality sleep and gives you a little more nighttime peace and quiet. Whatâs the difference between self-settling and self-soothing?While these terms are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different aspects of sleep and emotional regulation. Self-settling is the ability of a baby to fall asleep independently, without the need for rocking, feeding, or patting, and is a skill that develops over time through a consistent routine and a secure sleep environment.Self-soothing relates to a babyâs ability to regulate their emotions and calm themselves when upset. This typically evolves gradually â over years rather than months â as emotional regulation requires neurological and developmental maturity. Expecting babies, especially those under six months, to self-soothe is widely regarded as unrealistic.When can babies start self-settling?First things first: newborns donât have the ability to self-settle, so for roughly the first three months of their life theyâll likely require physical and emotional reassurance to help them fall asleep and settle back down when they wake up. This is called âresponsive settlingâ, and involves identifying your babyâs nighttime needs and responding accordingly.When they reach around 3 or 4 months of age, itâs possible for babies to start learning to self-settle. By 6 months theyâre far more likely to be sleeping through the night without waking, so at this stage theyâre often able to sleep far more independently â without the need to be fed or comforted back to sleep when they wake up.This isnât a hard-and-fast rule, of course â there arenât many of these when it comes to parenting â and for some little ones it can take longer to develop self-settling capabilities. Rest assured this isnât usually anything to worry about, and your baby may just need a little more time and encouragement before theyâre able to settle independently.How do I know if my baby is self-settling?Your baby might take to self-settling quite naturally, or they may require a little help on their journey to
7927sleep independence. Either way, how can you tell when theyâre ready and able to self-settle? Well, fortunately, there are a few âself-settling behaviorsâ you can look out for, which will give a good indication that your baby is learning to settle down by themselves.Here are some telltale signs of self-settling to look for in your baby:Theyâre becoming a right little suckerGiven that itâs exclusively how they feed as a newborn, babies learn to associate the act of sucking with nourishment and security â which is perhaps why even older children often take a while to grow out of thumb-sucking as a soothing, sleep-inducing failsafe.Babies are born with a natural sucking reflex, and if you notice theyâre beginning to suck on their fists, fingers or thumbs â or they readily take a pacifier into their mouth when offered â this is a sign theyâre learning techniques that will help them eventually pacify themselves.Theyâre rocking their head from side to sideItâs probably a bit early for your little one to have developed a taste for head-banging heavy metal music â theyâll hopefully save that for their teens â but gentle head-rocking is one self-settling technique they may start to experiment with. Babies are often comforted by rhythmic and repetitive motions â like those they experienced in the womb â and rocking their head can provide a steady, soothing sensation that calms their nervous system and helps them drift off to sleep.They âsay a little prayerâItâs unlikely Aretha Franklin was referring to her infant selfâs ability to self-settle, but when your baby can pull their hands up to their midline so they resemble a âprayingâ position, itâs a sign theyâre gaining increased control over their arm and hand movements.What does this have to do with self-settling? Well, bringing their hands together can provide a symmetrical, stable position that feels calming to a baby, while it also indicates theyâre discovering the soothing qualities of self-touch.Theyâre touching their ears, nose, or hairContinuing along the theme of increased hand movements and body awareness, a baby whoâs learning to self-settle may start to discover that it feels surprisingly calming to gently stroke their ears, rub their nose, or run their little fingers through their hair.Much like a parentâs soothing touch, these gentle actions often provide sensory stimulation and comfort â that said, frequent ear or nose touching can indicate discomfort or teething, so pay attention to increased fussiness or other symptoms such as a mild temperature.Theyâre falling asleep independentlyOne unmistakable sign of a baby whoâs capable of self-settle? Theyâre already able to fall asleep by themselves without needing to be held, rocked, or fed â even if only occasionally.This doesnât necessarily mean they wonât ever need comfort, of course â and thereâs no guarantee theyâll settle back down independently if they wake up during the night â but it shows a decreasing reliance on parental intervention and suggests theyâre beginning to discover their own soothing strategies.Theyâre not crying every time they wake upParticularly during the newborn stage, youâll get used to the sound of your babyâs cries as they alert you to the fact that a) theyâve woken up, and b) theyâre in need of feeding, comforting, or both. But this will happen less frequently as they get older.If more and more often theyâre waking without crying â perhaps theyâre gently whimpering or making gurgling noises rather than all-out blubbering â your baby is likely learning the art of self-settle, and will soon regularly be able to soothe themselves back to sleep.What if my baby is not self-settling?Self-settling doesnât come naturally to all babies, and some will require a little more help and reassurance before theyâre ready to fall asleep independently. It can also take some little ones longer to learn self-settling techniques than others, so itâs important to be patient and understand that your baby is unlikely to master it overnight.If your baby is refusing to self-settle, it might be because:\nThey lack a steady routine. Babies thrive on consistency and rhythm, and they may not feel secure enough to self-settle if they have an irregular bedtime schedule.\nTheir needs havenât been met. Your baby is unlikely to settle down to sleep independently if theyâre hungry, gassy, too hot or cold, or in need of a diaper change.\nTheyâve become dependent on âexternalâ soothing. If your baby is accustomed to being fed, held, or rocked to sleep, it may take longer for them to learn self-settling techniques.\nTheyâre experiencing separation anxiety. The fear of being separated from their caregiver often develops in babies from around 8 months, which can make it difficult for them to settle independently.\nThereâs a health condition or concern getting in the way. Look for symptoms such as a high temperature, skin changes, or a lack of appetite, as these may indicate an underlying health issue thatâs preventing your baby from settling.\nTheyâre not ready. All babies evolve at different speeds, and they may simply not feel ready to self-settle â remember, this ability doesnât tend to develop until at least the 3-month stage.If your baby is really struggling to self-settle â perhaps theyâre over 6 months old and they still consistently rely on you to settle them to sleep, or theyâre waking with unusual regularity â you can find plenty of tips for encouraging them to become more independent in our guide to How to Teach Your Baby to Self-Soothe.Of course, if youâve exhausted all techniques and your baby is still unable to self-settle, or you think there might be an underlying medical reason behind your little oneâs aversion to sleep independence, you should talk to your babyâs doctor or pediatrician.While your baby is unlikely to develop the hours-old instincts of a newborn giraffe or a freshly-hatched turtle, learning to self-settle is one big step towards greater independence â and recognizing the signs that theyâre developing this ability can help you determine whether they need a little extra guid

A bassinet (or moses basket) is generally much smaller and more portable. Itâs designed to be picked up and moved around â super handy in the early days when your tot needs to be by your side 24\/7.\nThere are a few more key differences that weâve covered in our crib vs bassinet guide, but in short â bassinets are designed for newborns, while cribs or cots are a more permanent, sturdier, roomier choice for older babies.\nWhen should I transition my baby from a bassinet to a crib?\nBassinets are brilliant. Theyâre cozy, compact, and super convenient for day trips or middle-of-the-night feedings. But as your tot grows, there will come a time when the bassinet is no longer suitable (or safe).\nGenerally speaking, thereâs no set age when a baby should transition to a crib from a bassinet â the most important factors to consider are your bassinetâs weight limit and your babyâs developmental milestones. Some parents forgo the bassinet altogether and have their tot sleeping in a crib from day one â and thatâs fine too.\nWhether your newborn sleeps in a bassinet or a crib, the NHS recommends that they share your room for at least the first six months.\nSigns baby is ready for crib\nIf age isnât necessarily a reliable indicator of crib readiness, then what is? Look out for these telltale signs:\nTheyâve outgrown the bassinet\nMost bassinets have a weight limit between 15 and 20 lbs, but every model is different, so always check the specifications yourself! If your babyâs getting close to (or exceeding) the weight limit, itâs time to size up to a crib.\nSimilarly, if your little oneâs head or feet are touching the ends of the bassinet, theyâre definitely due an upgrade! More room to stretch out = a happier, safer tot.\nTheir mobility has increased\nThis oneâs extra important: If your tot can roll over, push up on their hands or knees, or even pull themselves up a bit, thereâs an increased risk that they could topple the bassinet. So, if your babyâs reached these developmental milestones, itâs time to invest in a sturdier, more spacious sleep space.\nTheyâre waking up more frequently or seem uncomfortable\nIf your previously snoozy baby is suddenly waking up more, squirming, or seems uncomfortable, they might simply need more space. As babies grow, they naturally want to stretch, wiggle, and find their own cozy position â once theyâre rolling they need to have the space to be about to roll themselves back and forth.\n5 tips for a smooth transition to crib\nMaking the move from bassinet to crib can feel like a big step, but there are a few tricks that can make the transition smoother (and maybe even more fun) for both of you.\n\n\nStart with naps. Try having your baby nap in the crib for a few days to get them comfortable with the new space. This lets them acclimatize and adjust to the crib gradually, until theyâre ready to transition fully to their new sleep environment.\n\n\nKeep the crib cozy (but safe). Although cribs feel bigger and less snug than a bassinet, you can make it feel more familiar. Try a fitted crib sheet thatâs soft to the touch, and if theyâre used to a sleep
7950sack or specific sleep environment, keep that as part of the routine.\n\n\nStick to your usual bedtime routine. Time for one of our favorite phrases: consistency is key! Whatever you usually do â whether itâs bath time, singing, rocking, or reading â keep it the same. Babies are comforted by familiar routines, so theyâll feel reassured even in a new space.\n\n\nSleep nearby for the first few nights. If youâre moving your baby to their own room, consider sleeping in the room with them or bringing the crib into your room to ease the adjustment. Baby monitors can also help you keep an eye on them if you need some extra reassurance.\n\n\nBe patient. Like any change, it might take a little while for your tot to fully adjust to sleeping somewhere new. Keep calm, follow a routine, and theyâll settle into the new setup soon enough.\n\n\nAre there age or weight limits for using a bassinet?\nYes. Every bassinet has its own weight and size limits, but the majority of them can handle between 15 to 20lbs of weight safely. This said, plenty of parents find that even if their baby hasnât exceeded the weight limit, theyâve outgrown their bassinet or can roll over or sit up independently, making the upgrade to a crib necessary.\nOur advice? Keep your baby safe and double-check your bassinetâs manual â and if you canât find it, look it up online by searching the make and model on Google.\nWhen should my baby move to their own room?\nThe AAP recommends sleeping in the same room as your baby for at least six months, but ideally up to a year â partially because room-sharing has been linked to a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). If youâre considering moving your baby to their own room, weâd recommend following our guide â itâs packed with all sorts of handy tips to make the process easier for the both of you.\nWhat if my baby seems too small for the crib?\nItâs totally normal to worry that the crib will feel too âbigâ for a baby used to the cozy bassinet. But even though it might look roomy, many babies actually enjoy the extra space to move around. To help them feel more secure, you can use a sleep sack or swaddle if theyâre still young enough, which adds a bit of cozy comfort (and still keeps things safe!).\nIs it normal for babies to cry when theyâre first moved to a crib?\nYes, itâs very common for babies to cry a little when adjusting to a new sleep space. After all, itâs a big change! Try to reassure them with a soothing voice or gentle pat, and give them a few minutes to settle down. Sometimes, this adjustment just takes a bit of patience and time, and persistence and a regular routine will eventually help them get used to their new bed.\nTransitioning your tot to a new sleeping situation can be tricky â babies can often struggle with a change in their environment â but by following the guidance above, you should find the process a lot more straightforward. Yes, there may be a few tears or tantrums along the way, but thatâs par for the course when it comes to parenting⦠Patience and persistence are crucial.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 7951 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 08:59:28 -0800", 7952 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 08:59:28 -0800", 7953 "author": { 7954 "@type": "Person", 7955 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-long-can-a-baby-sleep-in-a-bassinet/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7956 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-long-can-a-baby-sleep-in-a-bassinet/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7957 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7958 "image": { 7959 "@type": "ImageObject", 7960 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1195477301_956cef9f-fe9e-40fa-8f66-a5e12ff299c8.jpg?v=1752081334", 7961 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1195477301_956cef9f-fe9e-40fa-8f66-a5e12ff299c8.jpg?v=1752081334" 7962 }, 7963 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-long-can-a-baby-sleep-in-a-bassinet", 7964 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7965 } 7966 , 7967{ 7968 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7969 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-your-baby-to-sleep-in-their-own-room", 7970 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-your-baby-to-sleep-in-their-own-room", 7971 "headline":"How to Transition Your Baby to Sleeping in Their Own Room", 7972 "name":"How to Transition Your Baby to Sleeping in Their Own Room", 7973 "description":"When can my baby start sleeping in their own room?\nGenerally, itâs recommended to keep babies in the same room as you for the first six months, ideally up to a year, as this has been shown to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).\nBut, as with so many other aspects of parenting, what works for someone elseâs family might not necessarily work for yours. Space, noise levels, and individual milestone development can all play a part.

Aside from the broad guidelines above, there are a few key signs that your little one might be ready for the transition:\nTheyâre waking frequently\nIt might seem counterintuitive, but if your totâs struggling to stay asleep, this could be the first sign that theyâd be more comfortable in a room of their own. Research shows that frequent wakings are normal (and usually no cause for concern) throughout the first year. However, if theyâre waking up a lot â not just because theyâre hungry or fussy â and they need your help to settle down again, transitioning to independent sleep might be best for both of you.\nTheyâre outgrowing their bassinet\nIf your babyâs starting to feel a little cramped in their bassinet, or if theyâre constantly rolling over and seem fussy, this may signal that their sleeping space needs an upgrade. A crib is a must, but it could also be benef
7973icial to move their bed into a separate room if you feel theyâre ready â by the time most babies outgrow the bassinet, they may be at an age where itâs possible to transition them to independent sleeping.\nTheyâre 6 months or older\nAs we touched on in the table above, at 6 months of age you may consider moving your baby into their own room. This doesnât mean you have to start the transition, of course â and many experts advise ideally waiting up to a year â but if your tot is reaching this age and showing signs theyâre capable of self-soothing, it may be a good time to at least experiment with putting them to sleep in a separate room.\nThey seem sensitive to noise or movements\nBabies are surprisingly light sleepers, and every creak of the bed or tiny snore can disrupt their rest. If you notice that your baby wakes up easily from your nighttime noise, a room of their own could help everyone sleep more soundly. If theyâre not old enough to sleep independently though, you could always try using white noise to drown out disturbances.\nHow do I transition away from room sharing with my baby?\nSo, youâre ready to transition your tot from your bedside to a room all of their own â whatâs the best way to do it?\nGradually.\nA successful transition wonât happen overnight â literally â and just like every other aspect of parenting, a few bumps in the road are to be expected. We canât promise itâll be easy, but here are a few tips to make things run as smoothly as possible:\nStay with them in their room\nSpending time with your tot in their new sleeping space, especially during those first few nights, can make their adjustment feel less sudden (and scary!).\nStart by sitting quietly beside their bassinet or crib until they drift off, then sneak away into your own room. Each night, increase the distance between you and the crib as your totâs trying to fall asleep.\nAfter a few nights, try placing them down and leaving the room completely, and (keeping your fingers crossed) head back to your bedroom. If all goes to plan, they should eventually settle down completely unaided.\nWhat if this doesnât work?\nIf theyâre really struggling, you can try a temporary âcamp-outâ in their room, where you sleep on a nearby mattress or bed for a few nights. This way, theyâll have the comfort of your presence as they adapt to the new surroundings, without needing to be in your room.\nEstablish a routine\nBabies are suckers for a solid routine because it creates a sense of security and predictability, which is particularly helpful when theyâre experiencing a change in their environment.\nA simple bedtime routine like a gentle bubble bath, a lullaby or two, or a nice relaxing massage is a great way to help your tot get into the slumber zone. Just try to keep the order and timing of these sleep cues the same each night to reinforce the associations with bedtime.\nYou can even use a comforting phrase like âgoodnight, sleep tightâ or âsweet dreamsâ each night before you leave. This will work as a bookend to your bedtime routine, strengthening the associations even further.\nBuild familiarity with the new room\nMaking your babyâs room a place that feels familiar and comforting can make it far less intimidating when itâs time for sleep.\nWhen you first move them, for example, keeping them in the crib they were sleeping in before can ease the transition, as their surroundings wonât feel quite so unfamiliar. Donât feel the need to wait until theyâve outgrown their current crib before making the move.\nKeeping the same bedding and sleepwear can help too, as can positioning their crib in roughly the same position (room layout allowing) as it was in your room.\nMoreover, try to spend time with your tot in their new room even when itâs not bedtime, and link the space with positive emotions by using it as a venue for their favorite activities, such as tummy time or even a game of peek-a-boo!\nThereâs plenty to be said for creating the perfect sleep environment for your little one, too. In short: try to keep things dim (or pitch-black) and remember to keep the room at a comfortable temperature (usually around 68â72°F or 20â22°C).\nDonât rush!\nEvery familyâs rhythm is different. If a quicker adjustment sounds good, you can start putting your baby in their new room for all sleep times â bedtime, throughout the night, and naps. Younger babies often adapt well to a faster transition like this.\nFor older infants (arou
7973nd 8-9 months), adjusting to a new space can sometimes be a little more challenging, as theyâre more aware of their surroundings. They might resist the change, waking frequently or becoming fussier than usual. In these cases, slow and steady is the best approach.\nTry starting with the first nap of the day in the new room. From there, you can slowly add more naps, or begin with just bedtime in the new room, bringing them back to your room after the first wake-up. This can work well if theyâre already used to different sleeping spots, like a bassinet in your room and a crib in theirs.\nDo babies sleep better in their own room?\nIt depends.\nEvery tot is unique, and while one baby might take to sleeping independently like a duckling to water, another might stage nightly protests. In most cases, itâs a roll of the dice!\nAccording to research, babies over 4 months of age tend to sleep more soundly away from their parents. Why? Well, the extra quiet and fewer distractions â particularly if you or your partner snores (no judgment here!) or gets up very early for work â can make a huge difference in how quickly theyâre able to settle down. And for older babies, sleeping away from you might also reduce their temptation to wake you up for a midnight feed.\nSo while there are plenty of exceptions to the rule, the evidence certainly suggests that transitioning your tot to their own room might help them sleep better.\nDoes room sharing help reduce the risk of SIDS?\nYes, room sharing is indeed recommended to help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Research from The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests that room sharing for at least the first six months, ideally up to one year, minimizes the risk of SIDS.\nWhy is this? Room sharing allows you to stay close enough to respond quickly if your baby needs you. Itâs thought that having you nearby might also help regulate your babyâs breathing and heart rate, which may reduce the risk of SIDS.\nThe key here is room sharing, not bed sharing. While itâs tempting to cuddle up and drift off together, co-sleeping can raise the risk of accidental suffocation or entrapment, especially in the newborn stage.\nWhether you decide to move your little one into their own room as soon as they reach 6 months or youâd prefer to wait a little longer to introduce a more autonomous sleeping arrangement, the key is taking your time â a little resistance from your baby is to be expected, but with patience and persistence youâll soon get them used to snoozing in their own dedicated space.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 7974 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 08:32:01 -0800", 7975 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 08:32:01 -0800", 7976 "author": { 7977 "@type": "Person", 7978 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-your-baby-to-sleep-in-their-own-room/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7979 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-your-baby-to-sleep-in-their-own-room/#Elvie Editorial Team", 7980 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 7981 "image": { 7982 "@type": "ImageObject", 7983 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1180778465_505e7b35-2596-4226-bb6e-0881727e183f.jpg?v=1752191743", 7984 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1180778465_505e7b35-2596-4226-bb6e-0881727e183f.jpg?v=1752191743" 7985 }, 7986 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-your-baby-to-sleep-in-their-own-room", 7987 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 7988 } 7989 , 7990{ 7991 "@type": "BlogPosting", 7992 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-a-contact-nap-and-is-it-safe", 7993 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-a-contact-nap-and-is-it-safe", 7994 "headline":"What is a Contact Nap \u0026 Is It Safe for Your Baby?", 7995 "name":"What is a Contact Nap \u0026 Is It Safe for Your Baby?", 7996 "description":"What are contact naps?\nAs the name suggests, a contact nap is when your baby falls asleep while in close physical contact with you â such as lying on your chest or being held in your arms. Itâs different from co-sleeping because, during a contact nap, the only one who should be sleeping is y
7996our baby!\nWhat are the benefits of contact naps?\nHaving your newborn fall asleep while wrapped in your arms or snuggled into your chest can be a delightful, rewarding experience for both of you, helping to grow your mutual attachment and often encouraging your baby to sleep more soundly. Here are just some of the reasons many parents and babies swear by contact naps:\n\n\nThey can strengthen the parent-baby bond. Regular, close physical contact with your baby (particularly skin-to-skin contact or âKangaroo Careâ) is often crucial in forming a strong emotional bond between the two of you, with your little one relishing the security and comfort you offer.\n\n\nYour baby may fall asleep quicker. Since the sensation is thought to be a little similar to being in the uterus, you may find that your baby settles more quickly into a deep, restful sleep during a contact nap than when put down in their crib or bassinet, particularly during the newborn stage.\n\n\nThey can help regulate your babyâs breathing and heart rate. Believe it or not, the calming effect of sleeping in such close proximity to you can help your baby maintain a regular heartbeat and consistent breathing pattern.\n\n\nThey can help reduce your stress levels. Studies have revealed a clear link between parent-baby contact and the release of oxytocin, or the âlove hormoneâ. This can improve your mood while reducing stress and anxiety.\n\n\nAre there any downsides to contact naps?\nIs contact napping bad for your baby? Not at all, as long as youâre doing it safely â which weâll come to shortly. That said, there might be reasons youâd rather discourage your baby from regularly falling asleep on or against you. Such as:\n\n\nIt might be uncomfortable for you. While your baby may feel no comfort like snugging into your chest for a snooze, staying in one position to accommodate your tot isnât always the most relaxing experience for your body.\n\n\nYou have limited freedom to move around. You can use a baby carrier for contact naps, but otherwise youâre often pretty restricted when your baby is napping in your arms. You might be unable to do things like carrying out chores, making lunch, or taking a shower, for example.\n\n\nYour baby can become overreliant on contact. At some point, youâll likely want your little one to gain more sleep independence, which can prove more challenging if they regularly fall asleep on you and learn to rely on contact to soothe them to sleep.\n\n\nRegular contact naps might also become a problem if youâre planning to return to work, especially if all (or most) of your babyâs current naps tend to start with them falling asleep on you. Weâll cover some of the ways you can reduce reliance on contact naps later in this article.\nAre contact naps safe for babies?\nYes, contact naps are generally perfectly safe for your baby, but on one very strict condition â you must remain awake and alert while your little one sleeps. If youâre both asleep, you have little control over your babyâs movements, and this can risk them falling or wriggling into an unsafe position.\nIn fact, itâs thought that âaccidental co-sleepingâ can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by up to 50 times, so itâs really important to avoid situations where itâs likely youâll fall asleep while in contact with your baby â like lying on a comfy bed or reclining on the sofa when youâre feeling sleepy yourself.\nHow to make contact napping safe for your baby\nAs weâve outlined above, thereâs really just one golden rule when it comes to contact naps and itâs that you avoid falling asleep when your baby is snoozing on (or against) your body.\nAdmittedly, this can be easier said than done when the demands of parenting take their toll on your energy levels, but there are ways you can help yourself stay alert and keep your baby safe during a contact nap. For example:\n\n\nEnsure someone else is nearby. If your baby falls asleep on you and thereâs even the slightest possibility you might drift off too, itâs essential that youâre not alone. Make sure a partner, friend, or family member is close by so they can gently wake you up or take your baby from your arms.\n\n\nAvoid contact naps when youâre feeling drowsy. Being tired as a new parent pretty much comes with the job description, but if youâre feeling particularly sleepy it might be better to put your baby down for a nap in their crib or bassinet rather than letting them fall asleep on you.\n\n\nDonât let yourself get too comfortable. Contact naps in bed or on a squishy sofa might feel nice for both of you, but thereâs a greater likelihood youâll fall asleep too if youâre lying down or reclining. Instead, sit upright in a high-backed chair or stand up (or walk around) while your baby sleeps in your arms.\n\n\nâWearâ your baby. Baby carriers can be great for contact naps, giving you the freedom to move around (and avoid dozing off) while still offering them the reassurance of sleeping close to you. Just make sure your baby is secured tightly, their back is supported, and their chin is off their chest so their airways are open.\n\n\nIs it safe to co-sleep with your baby?\nWhile falling asleep together when in contact with your baby is advised against, itâs generally okay to sleep
7996side-by-side in a bed as long as you follow safe sleep guidelines. For example:\n\n\nKeep adult bedding and pillows away from your baby\n\n\nRemove any slatted or decorated headboards\n\n\nNever allow other children or pets into the bed too\n\n\nEnsure thereâs no way for your baby to become or trapped or fall out of bed\n\n\nNever, ever leave your baby alone in an adult bed\n\n\nYou should never co-sleep if you (or anyone else in the bed) smokes or has recently consumed alcohol or taken drugs, or if your baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks of pregnancy).\nWhen do babies outgrow contact naps?\nSome babies take to sleeping independently quite naturally â and may instinctively develop a preference for being laid down to sleep over napping in your arms â while others might be less likely to âoutgrowâ contact naps and take a little more encouragement to forgo the reassurance of a body-to-body snooze.\nThereâs not necessarily a right time to stop contact naps, but while newborns often crave the security of being close to you as they sleep, you may find youâre able to start introducing independent sleeping more often from around 4-6 months â which can give both of you a little more freedom and independence.\nThereâs no harm in continuing contact naps past this point, per se, but you potentially risk your baby becoming overly reliant on you in order to doze off, and you may decide that encouraging them to sleep independently is better for both of you in the long run â not that you have to completely abandon the occasional nap on mommy or daddy, of course!\nHow to âweanâ your baby off contact naps\nIf your baby has become a little too dependent on contact naps and you want to encourage a more independent approach to napping â or you simply feel the time is right to lay them down to sleep more often than not â thereâs a chance theyâll put up a little resistance at first. If thatâs the case, there are a few techniques you can try to help ease the transition:\n\n\nPut them down when theyâre drowsy but not asleep. Key to encouraging self-soothing and independent snoozing is laying your baby in their crib when theyâre on the verge of sleep but still awake. This can get them used to falling asleep by themselves rather than only when in contact with you.\n\n\nCreate a consistent sleep routine. Babies thrive on familiarity, and itâs often easier to encourage them to sleep independently by sticking to a regular schedule and keeping their sleep environment consistent â this can introduce âsleep cuesâ that they learn to associate with being put down for a nap.\n\n\nTry swaddling. Swaddling involves gently wrapping your babyâs body in a light blanket or sheet, somewhat mimicking the sensation of being nestled in the womb. This can help your baby feel safe, secure, and calm in their crib, and encourage them to drift off to sleep without needing to be held. Just remember to follow safe swaddling guidelines.\n\n\nBring in additional soothing techniques. Your warmth, smell, and the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat can be like a tranquilizer to your baby, but there are other ways to soothe them to sleep, such as introducing white noise, offering a pacifier, giving them a gentle massage, or singing a soothing lullaby.\n\n\nFor more tips on turning your baby from a clingy contact-craver to a self-reliant snoozer, take a look at our guide to What to Do When Your Baby Wonât Sleep Without Being Held.\nIn conclusion, are contact naps safe? Yes, as long as your baby is the only one snoozing and youâre wide awake. Are they enjoyable? Almost always. Essential? No, but theyâre often a great way to bond with your baby and get them sleeping more soundly. \nRemember: when you decide to abandon contact naps is up to you (and your baby) but it is often best to try and encourage a little more sleep independence as your baby gets older. That doesnât mean a cozy naptime snuggle is totally out of the question, though.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 7997 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 08:23:44 -0800", 7998 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 08:23:44 -0800", 7999 "author": { 8000 "@type": "Person", 8001 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-a-contact-nap-and-is-it-safe/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8002 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-a-contact-nap-and-is-it-safe/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8003 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8004 "image": { 8005 "@type": "ImageObject", 8006 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1126672552_e3cad6ee-2345-4b5b-8761-c09261e321d2.jpg?v=1752191184", 8007 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1126672552_e3cad6ee-2345-4b5b-8761-c09261e321d2.jpg?v=1752191184" 8008 }, 8009 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/what-is-a-contact-nap-and-is-it-safe", 8010 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8011 } 8012 , 8013{ 8014 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8015 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-teach-your-baby-to-self-soothe", 8016 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-teach-your-baby-to-self-soothe", 8017 "headline":"How to Teach Your Baby to Self-Soothe", 8018 "name":"How to Teach Your Baby to Self-Soothe", 8019 "description":"Why wonât my baby settle down?\nItâs the middle of the night and yet again, your baby is wailing the house down. What gives? If youâre wondering whatâs wrong, itâs likely nothing to worry about. But babies arenât the best communicators, and unfortunately this means that itâs normally up to you to figure out whatâs wrong.\nHere are a few of the most common reasons why your baby might be struggling to settle down.\nThey need to be burped\nBabies have tiny, sensitive tummies, and they tend to gulp a lot of air while feeding. That air has to go somewhere, and in the immortal words of Shrek, itâs a case of âbetter out than inâ. If it doesnât get burped out, it can lead to some seriously uncomfortable bubbles, meaning much fussiness and nighttime squirming.\nTo ease the gassiness, try holding your baby against your chest and gently patting or rubbing their back to help them release that trapped air. It might take a few tries, and also come with a few surprises â youâve been warned.\nThey need feeding\nHunger is arguably one of the most common reasons for babies to cry, and as youâve probably noticed, they donât hold back when theyâre ready to eat. Newborns might not need as much food as a 6-month-old, but their feeding schedules require a greater number of feeds throughout each 24-hour cycle. This is particularly true for babies around 3-6 weeks of age, where cluster feeding may occur.\nTheyâre overtired\nWeâve written about wake windows before, but to cut a long story short, timing is everything. When babies stay awake for longer than their normal wake window, they can get overtired, which can somewhat paradoxically make it much harder for them to settle down. Look out for yawning and eye rubbing â two key indicators of an overtired tot.\nTheyâre too chilly or too hot\nBabies arenât the best at regulating their body temperature, so if theyâre a little too hot or cold, this could be preventing them from catching ZZZs. If their back or neck feels sweaty, theyâre likely too warm, but if their tummy feels cool to the touch, they might need another layer. A sleep sack can help keep them cosy, but for tips and tricks, view our guide to creating the best baby sleeping environment.\nTheyâre unwell\nSometimes, your babyâs discomfort might be rooted in an underlying condition. They might be suffering from a cold, teething, or even experiencing growing pains. Soothing these ailments is different from one case to the next, but weâd always re
8019commend speaking to a paediatrician just to make sure itâs nothing more serious.\nTheyâre feeling needy\nItâs completely natural for your little one to seek you out when theyâre feeling fussy because they associate you with comfort and safety. The familiar sound of your voice, your scent, and your touch can do wonders to calm them down. Sometimes, all they need is a few quiet moments held in your arms!\nWhat age can I teach my baby to self-soothe?\nSome babies will naturally be able to settle themselves off to sleep from the early weeks, but itâs very common that most will need a bit of help. Youâll generally need to keep soothing your baby as needed until theyâre around 3 or 4 months old. After that, you can start gradually introducing some gentle self-soothing techniques.\nJust keep in mind that falling asleep independently is a big milestone â it requires a level of emotional control that babies develop slowly over time. Most little ones start picking up some self-settling skills between 4 and 6 months, so be patient with the process and trust that theyâll get there in their own time.\nHow to help your baby to self-soothe\nSelf-soothing doesnât happen overnight â itâs a process, and in this game persistence is key. Hereâs how to get started:\nMake sure their needs are met first\nBefore anything else, check that your babyâs basic needs are covered: have they been fed and burped, do they appear comfortable, and do they have a clean diaper? Self-soothing is a lot easier for babies when theyâre not distracted by hunger, discomfort, or a little gasâ¦\nSet a schedule\nBabies thrive on routine, and a regular sleep schedule can help them start to recognize cues for when itâs time to wind down. Try to keep naps and bedtime at consistent times each day. A calming pre-sleep routine â like a warm bath, storytime, or gentle lullaby â can signal to them that sleep is coming. Timing is everything here. Itâs important to ensure theyâre tired enough to settle down, but not so tired that they become fractious and resistant to sleep!\nPut them down when theyâre sleepy, but not asleep\nIf your baby regularly falls asleep in your arms and wakes up in their crib, theyâll likely rely on you to settle them and find it more difficult to soothe themselves when they wake. Instead of soothing them to sleep before laying them in their crib, look for signs that your baby is drowsy â but crucially still awake â when putting them down for a nap or at bedtime. This will help get them used to falling asleep on their own.\nWait a little while before responding to their cries\nWeâre not suggesting you straight-up ignore your baby here, but a brief pause to see if theyâll relax is a key part of teaching your baby to self-soothe. If you rush in every time you hear a whimper, theyâll likely continue to rely on you to soothe them back to sleep, so give them a minute or so and see how they get on. If they continue to cry, swoop in and start soothing.\nSoothe them while still in their crib\nYour instinct might be to pick your baby up as soon as they start fussing, but try to resist this parental reflex. Instead, try offering comfort while keeping them in their crib. Pat their back, gently shush them, or hold their hand and offer a little reassurance. This teaches your baby that the crib is just as safe as your arms, and strengthens the association between âcomfortâ and âcrib timeâ.\nTake a break\nThis links in with our previous tips, and itâs important to remember that self-soothing isnât just about your babyâs comfort â itâs about yours too. Itâs okay to step out for a moment, take a few deep breaths, and come back refreshed. Babies can sense stress, so taking a short break can help you both reset.\nUse a dummy\nSucking can naturally calm and comfort your little one,and if your baby takes to a dummy, it can be a great way for them to soothe themselves without needing much from you. Believe it or not, itâs actually safe to let your baby sleep with a pacifier, too.\nOffer them a âsecurity objectâ\nItâs important to note that your little one should be at least 12 months old before you let them sleep with a blanket or soft toy, but when your baby is old enough, having a familiar object within armâs reach can help them self-soothe at bedtime or when they wake in the night. Their little blankie or favourite stuffed animal might have a familiar texture and smell, which can help them feel secure even when theyâre alone in their crib or bed.\nRemember: practice makes perfect!\nLike any new skill, self-soothing takes practice. Donât be discouraged if your tot doesnât get it right away. Itâs something we say all the time here at Elvie, but consistency is key. Be persistent, and remain patient. Before you know it, theyâll be able to drift off to dreamland without any help at all â but itâs a gradual process.\nWhat about the âcry it outâ technique?\nThis controversial approach involves leaving your baby to cry in their crib, without stepping in, until they eventually fall asleep. The idea is that, over time, your little one will learn to calm themselves instead of depending on you to settle them every time they fuss.\nDoes âcry it outâ work for every baby? No. And in truth thereâs a lot of debate in the medical community about its effectiveness, so youâre advised to speak to a paediatrician before trying this technique.\nâControlled cryingâ is a slightly more delicate and research-backed method where you leave them for a short period of time and return to comfort them at intervals. There are gentler approaches too, where you stay with your baby and comfort them in their sleep space.\nIf you do decide to give this method a go, start by waiting just a few minutes before comforting them. Over time, you can gradually increase the wait time, allowing them a chance to self-soothe while you stay close. Eventually, you should find that your tot learns to relax all on their own â though donât be surprised if it takes some time to get there!\nSelf-soothing wonât happen instantly â but if you both put the work in, youâll soon see your baby gain more sleep independence! \nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8020 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 07:07:08 -0800", 8021 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 07:07:08 -0800", 8022 "author": { 8023 "@type": "Person", 8024 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-teach-your-baby-to-self-soothe/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8025 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-teach-your-baby-to-self-soothe/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8026 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8027 "image": { 8028 "@type": "ImageObject", 8029 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1126441689_61a883fa-8a93-4a9f-984a-195ad341049f.jpg?v=1752080967", 8030 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1126441689_61a883fa-8a93-4a9f-984a-195ad341049f.jpg?v=1752080967" 8031 }, 8032 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-teach-your-baby-to-self-soothe", 8033 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8034 } 8035 , 8036{ 8037 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8038 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/away-day-naps-guide", 8039 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/away-day-naps-guide", 8040 "headline":"Away Day Naps: How to Encourage Your Baby to Sleep Away from Home", 8041 "name":"Away Day Naps: How to Encourage Your Baby to Sleep Away from Home", 8042 "description":"Why will my baby only sleep at home?\nJust like many adults, babies crave consistency and routine â and anything that disrupts this can be unsettling. Their normal sleep environment feels safe, comforting, and familiar, while new surroundings can introduce sights, sounds, and experiences theyâre not used to, which might make them feel anxious or overstimulated.\nAt home, babies also tend to have familiar âsleep cuesâ that signal to them that itâs time for a snooze â perhaps itâs a clockwork-like bedtime routine that includes a bath and a story, or a set of curtains that provide just the right amount of darkness in their room. Without these prompts, it might be more difficult to settle your baby into a sleep-ready state.\nBut even if your baby is a bit of a homebody when it comes to naptime, this doesnât mean youâll never be able to get them to sleep in an unfamiliar environment. With persistence and a little encouragement, itâs possible to spend time away from home without disrupting your little oneâs sleep
8042schedule too much â and weâre going to outline some tips and tricks.\nHow to get your baby to sleep away from home\nIf youâre fortunate, your baby might not be overly fazed by a change in environment, and you may find they sleep relatively soundly no matter where they happen to be. More likely, though, your little one is a little fussier and harder to settle â or worse still, stubbornly resistant to naps â when in new surroundings.\nIf yours is in the latter camp, there are a number of techniques you can try to help your baby sleep when separated from their home comforts:\nDo a few âtrial runsâ\nSudden changes in routine can be distressing for anyone, but you can help your baby get used to different sleep environments by gradually trialing being away from home for short periods. Perhaps start with a few afternoon visits to friends or family members, for example, and build up to a whole night spent at someone elseâs house.\nThe first few times might be unsettling for them, but persistence pays: the more time they spend away from home and can see that theyâre still safe and secure, the easier it will theoretically become to encourage them to sleep in different surroundings.\nIn the run-up to a planned vacation, for instance, you might consider arranging a few sleepovers at Grandma and Grandadâs house, or even booking a night in a hotel. Additionally, if youâre planning to use a travel crib or bassinet, get them to âpracticeâ sleeping in it a few times before you go away so it doesnât feel completely unfamiliar.\nTry to stick to their regular routine\nAs weâve mentioned, babies are little creatures of habit. They thrive on routine, and often become distressed when faced with something unfamiliar or unexpected â like a sudden change in sleeping environment.\nWhile it can be easier said than done, trying to maintain a sleep routine that matches their at-home schedule as closely as possible will help your baby adjust to sleeping in new surroundings, and avoid disrupting their normal sleep habits too much.\nThis means attempting to put them down for a nap at roughly the same time as you would at home, and maintaining a consistent pre-bedtime routine â if they usually have a warm bath and a few cuddles before bed, for example, try to continue these rituals wherever possible.\nThis requires planning ahead, of course â and it may not always be possible to match their normal routine to the letter, particularly when traveling â but your baby should sleep better away from home if their nap times donât deviate too much from their usual schedule.\nRecreate their normal sleep environment\nJust as they crave routine, babies often find comfort in the familiar. So while you canât take your babyâs entire room with you wherever you go, you can do the next best thing: try to mirror their at-home sleep surroundings as closely as possible. For example:\n\n\nPack familiar sleep accompaniments such as your babyâs usual bedding (a slept-in sheet that smells of home can be a great help) and their favorite blanket or soft toy â providing theyâre at least 12 months old.\n\n\nTry to make sure the room temperature is similar to what your baby is used to, which should ideally be between 68-72°F (20-22°C).\n\n\nDress your baby in what theyâd usually wear to bed at home, as long as itâs appropriate for the environment and temperature theyâre sleeping in.\n\n\nUse blackout curtains or travel blinds to keep the room dark, especially if your baby is used to sleeping in a dim environment at home.\n\n\nConsider introducing âwhite noiseâ\nAmong the many challenges of trying to get your baby to sleep in a different environment are the new and unfamiliar sounds they may encounter when trying to get some shuteye. The everyday creaks and hums of your own house can become oddly comforting, but noises theyâre unaccustomed to can often be unsettling.\nFor instance, perhaps youâre staying at a friendâs house and their neighbor has a particularly noisy dog, or the hotel youâve booked is next to a busy road â these new sounds might be difficult to drown out, making it hard for them to settle.\nIn these cases, introducing white noise â a consistent, even s
8042ound that blends with background noise to make it less noticeable â could help block out unfamiliar sounds and create a more calming environment.\nIf youâre using a white noise machine, itâs important to ensure itâs placed at least 7 feet away from where your baby is sleeping, but there are also plenty of apps you can download that should do the job just fine. For more information on using white noise to help your baby sleep, check out our guide.\nAvoid making them overtired\nThereâs a balance to be struck when youâre out and about with your baby because, while you want to keep them relatively active so they feel sleepy when itâs time for a nap, you donât want them to be so tired that they struggle to settle â overtiredness leading to sleep refusal is one of lifeâs great paradoxes!\nSo while itâs best to stick to their regular nap schedule if you can, itâs also important to pick up on signs of sleepiness to avoid keeping them awake longer than needed and risk them becoming overtired.\nYour babyâs sleep cues might include yawning, eye rubbing, or increased fussiness, and when they display these signs you may need to be prepared to adjust their normal schedule slightly and let them sleep on their terms â otherwise it might be more difficult to get them to snooze later on. Consistency is key, but flexibility is often required.\nPractice self-soothing\nNewborns donât have the ability to self-soothe, but from around 3 to 4 months it may be possible for your little one to gain more independence and learn to fall asleep by themselves without needing to be comforted by you.\nIf youâre able to encourage self-soothing as early as possible, this can really help when it comes to getting them to fall asleep in new places, particularly as it will be easier for them to settle back to sleep if they wake up in unfamiliar surroundings.\nSome babies take quite naturally to self-soothing, while for some it can demand a little more practice and patience. Either way, you can help your little one learn to self-soothe by:\n\n\nMaintaining a consistent bedtime schedule and routine\n\n\nPutting them to bed when theyâre drowsy but still awake\n\n\nFeeding them slightly earlier so theyâre not being âfedâ to sleep\n\n\nWaiting a minute or two before going to comfort them when they cry\n\n\nComforting them in the crib rather than taking them out\n\n\nWhen they reach 12 months or older, letting them sleep with a âsecurity objectâ like a soft toy or blanket\n\n\nTry to avoid on-the-go naps\nThis is another area where âeasier said than doneâ applies, as you canât really control whether your baby drifts off in the car or their stroller. But weâre not necessarily suggesting that you need to keep them awake at all costs while on the go, just that itâs better to avoid this becoming a habit â as regular âoff-scheduleâ naps can disrupt their sleep routine.\nGrabbing forty winks while in their car seat isnât going to do them any harm â the gentle vibrations that accompany being in the car are often too soothing to resist â but it will typically not be the best quality sleep, and itâs likely theyâll wake up a little cranky.\nIf this sounds counterintuitive, it is a little. But while it can feel like a win when your baby is sleeping soundly in their stroller as you make your way through a packed airport (and sometimes sleeping on-the-go is a necessity), itâs usually better if your baby learns to associate sleep with being in their crib or travel cot.\nMost importantly: be patient!\nIn the best-case scenario, your baby takes to sleeping in any new environment like a duckling to water; but even with all the will in the world, it can take patience and a willingness to be flexible when trying to adapt your little one to temporarily new sleep surroundings.\nWhile itâs natural that most babies will always prefer the comfort and familiarity of napping at home, this doesnât mean you need to admit defeat and accept that away days are simply an impossibility â they might just take a little while for your baby to get used to.\nThink about the last time you stayed in a hotel or crashed in a friendâs spare room. Perhaps the firmness of the mattress wasnât entirely to your usual liking, or maybe unfamiliar outside noises prevented you from drifting off as quickly as you normally would. Itâs often just the same for your baby.\nItâs important to give them time to adjust, and understand that it might take a few goes before they feel comfortable sleeping away from home. Like many things in early parenthood, itâs a process.\nWe all like our home comforts (and who doesnât love coming back to their own bed after a trip away?) but getting your baby used to sleeping in unfamiliar places takes at least some of the worry out of being away from home. \nWhether youâre going for a sleepover at Grandma and Grandadâs house or planning a family vacation, following the tips above will help turn your baby from a homebody thatâll only sleep in their own room to an assured travel companion who isnât fazed by an away-day nap.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8043 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 06:46:52 -0800", 8044 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 06:46:52 -0800", 8045 "author": { 8046 "@type": "Person", 8047 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/away-day-naps-guide/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8048 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/away-day-naps-guide/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8049 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8050 "image": { 8051 "@type": "ImageObject", 8052 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1062007690_43dd0616-dea2-47bb-8b35-83b13134750e.jpg?v=1752191237", 8053 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1062007690_43dd0616-dea2-47bb-8b35-83b13134750e.jpg?v=1752191237" 8054 }, 8055 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/away-day-naps-guide", 8056 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8057 } 8058 , 8059{ 8060 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8061 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/should-newborn-daytime-naps-be-in-the-dark", 8062 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/should-newborn-daytime-naps-be-in-the-dark", 8063 "headline":"Should it be Dark When Your Newborn Takes a Nap?", 8064 "name":"Should it be Dark When Your Newborn Takes a Nap?", 8065 "description":"Do babies sleep better in darkness?\nOwls, badgers, babies. Three rather different creatures, but all with one common trait â a love of the dark.\nBabies are little bundles of instinct, and one of the things theyâre instinctively hardwired for is the circadian rhythm â the bodyâs natural sleep-wake cycle, which is influenced by light and darkness.\nWhile this instinct takes time to develop â usually only emerging at around 2-3 months of age and taking a year or longer to mature fully â a dar
8065k environment can encourage the release of melatonin (the âsleep hormoneâ), often helping to set a foundation for better, more restful sleep.\nWhen your baby first enters the world, their pineal gland isnât fully formed â and produces no melatonin whatsoever until around 2 months of age. Low melatonin means more erratic sleep patterns, but because melatonin release is triggered by darkness, youâll often find that your tot is far more likely to drift off when theyâre in a pitch-black room.\nShould newborn daytime naps be in the dark?\nWhile itâs super simple to create a dark, cocoon-like nest for your little one in the evening, is it completely necessary to give your newborn a pitch black sleep environment during their daytime nap?\nWell, no â not really. Because they havenât yet fully developed a circadian rhythm, daytime and nighttime mean very little to your newborn. Therefore itâs not essential to ensure their daytime naps take place in complete darkness â although you may find that a dark room helps them settle and promotes better quality sleep.\nMore important than whether they nap in darkness or the light is regulating the amount of sleep they have during the day, and especially making sure theyâre not taking very long naps in complete darkness â as this can have a detrimental effect on their nighttime sleep.\nItâs also essential to make sure theyâre exposed to plenty of natural light during waking hours. You should avoid directly exposing them to sunlight, of course, but spending time outside and letting natural light into their room when they wake up can help promote the normal development of their circadian rhythm.\nWhat is day\/night confusion?\nAs the name suggests, day and night confusion is when your newborn has their sleep-wake schedule flipped: theyâre bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the middle of the night (joys!), and ready for long snoozes when the sunâs up â the latter of which is likely to provide some common ground between the two of you!\nThis is normal in newborns, as their circadian rhythm is still maturing. As we mentioned above, babies are born with no concept of day or night, so the answer isn't to force them to sleep in a light room so they âknow itâs not night timeâ.\nSigns your baby may have day and night confusion:\n\n\nActive and alert at night: Your baby is wide awake when the rest of the household is winding down.\n\n\nRestless daytime naps: Theyâre easily disturbed or seem disinterested in sleeping during the day.\n\n\nLong, deep sleeps during the day: While short naps are common, some babies with day\/night confusion may sleep for longer stretches in daylight.\n\n\nFrequent nighttime wake-ups: Theyâre waking every hour or two at night, even when they seem content.\n\n\nHow can you help your newborn with their day and night confusion?\nFirst off, resist the urge to try and âteachâ your newborn the difference between night and day. Day\/night confusion all comes down to the fact that your babyâs circadian rhythm is still developing. The best way to help them is by regulating the amount of time they sleep during daylight hours â avoiding long naps in a pitch-black room, for example.\nIt might seem cruel â and peace-destroying, especially if youâre counting on a few precious minutes of me-time â but the most effective way to beat day\/night confusion is to wake your baby up from daytime naps if they go on for too long (i.e. over 2 hours).\nThis works for two reasons: firstly, it means theyâll be awake for longer and exposed to more natural light during the day (which can help their circadian rhythm develop naturally), and secondly, it gives them more opportunities for daytime feeds, reducing the chance theyâll wake up hungry at night.\nIn short, make sure your tot has shorter nap times and gets more milk in daylight hours, and gradually their slumber-based confusion should correct itself.\nYou can also try:\n\n\nLetting your baby spend more of their daylight hours outside (getting out in the mornings can be especially helpful, even if the weather is cloudy or overcast).\n\n\nMaking sure their awake time is both bright and interactive.\n\n\nKeeping their room as dark as possible during the evenings â keep night feeds and diaper changes at night quiet and âboringâ, using a low light or amber-based light.\n\n\nPlaying white noise while they sleep at night.\n\n\nTips for restful daytime naps\nWhether your baby naps
8065in a darkened space or you let a little natural light into their room while they sleep during the day, there are plenty of other ways to encourage a healthy nap routine. Here are a few more ways to help your tot drift off for a daytime nap:\n\n\nKeep a consistent nap space: If possible, let your baby nap in the same spot where they sleep at night. Familiarity can help them settle.\n\n\nTry swaddling: Many newborns feel secure when swaddled, which can help them stay asleep (but remember to stop swaddling once they start rolling, and always follow safe swaddling guidelines).\n\n\nKnow their âwake windowsâ: Babies can only stay awake for so long before they get overtired. Wake windows can vary from baby to baby, but newborns generally need a nap every 45-60 minutes.

As long as your little oneâs not consistently dozing through the day and yelling the house down at night, itâs best not to overanalyze!\n\n\nWhether your little one prefers to nap in complete darkness or is happy to sleep with a little natural light peeking through their curtains, itâs less about whether their sleep environment is light or dark and more about finding whatâs best for them â and for you.\nOur best advice? Try to avoid putting them down for extended daytime naps in a dark room, make sure theyâre exposed to plenty of natural light during their daytime wake windows, and â most important of all â go with your gut.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8066 "datePublished": "2025-01-14 06:33:26 -0800", 8067 "dateModified": "2025-01-14 06:33:26 -0800", 8068 "author": { 8069 "@type": "Person", 8070 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/should-newborn-daytime-naps-be-in-the-dark/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8071 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/should-newborn-daytime-naps-be-in-the-dark/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8072 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8073 "image": { 8074 "@type": "ImageObject", 8075 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1005939262_9114fe26-a615-4ddd-a45c-f6f10587df1d.jpg?v=1752191930", 8076 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1005939262_9114fe26-a615-4ddd-a45c-f6f10587df1d.jpg?v=1752191930" 8077 }, 8078 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/should-newborn-daytime-naps-be-in-the-dark", 8079 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8080 } 8081 , 8082{ 8083 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8084 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-use-massage-to-help-baby-sleep", 8085 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-use-massage-to-help-baby-sleep", 8086 "headline":"How to Use Massage to Soothe Your Baby to Sleep", 8087 "name":"How to Use Massage to Soothe Your Baby to Sleep", 8088 "description":"The science behind baby massageItâs a widely accepted fact that massages feel fantastic, but why is this? Much like most adults, babies tend to enjoy a good massage before bedtime, but what does the science say?Research indicates that massage stimulates the production of certain sleep-benefiting hormones, such as oxytocin, which is often referred to as the âlove hormoneâ. This is the same hormone thatâs released during breastfeeding and cuddling, and has been proven to help strengthen the bond between parent and baby. Massage has also been proven to lower the levels of cortisol in the body â the hormone responsible for stress. But thatâs not all â a study found that infants who were massaged achieved higher cognitive scores than their non-massaged peers, proving that baby massage can even boost brain power!At a glance: the benefits of baby massageWeâve covered the science, now letâs summarize the benefits of giving your tot a massage before bed:Promotes healthy growth and developmentResearch has shown that babies who receive regular massages may experience better weight gain and improved overall growth. This is especially beneficial for premature babies, or little ones suffering from certain medical conditions.Enhances bondingThe skin-to-skin contact involved in massaging releases the all-important feel-good chemical, oxytocin, boosting your babyâs sense of security and strengthening their bond with you. Improves sleep qualityMassage has been proven to promote relaxation, making it the ideal addition to your pre-bedtime routine. If youâre struggling to get your baby to settle into a consistent sleep schedule, or your little one tends to get overtired and fussy, massage is an excellent way to make bedtime that little bit easier. Boosts cognitive developmentThereâs evidence to suggest that regular massage can enhance brain development in infants, with tactile stimulation helping to strengthen the neural pathways. The step-by-step guide to baby massageReady to treat your tot? Our simple guide to baby massage is just what you need. Your little one will be feeling zen in no time at all â but first, a little prep is in order.Find a comfy, cozy spot. Somewhere warm and distraction-free. You can massage your baby on the floor or on an elevated surface, such as a bed or changing table, but be sure not to leave your tot unattended on a high surface, as this could lead to a nasty accident.The best time to massage your baby? You can massage your baby any time of day when theyâre calm and alert and receptive to it, but after bathtime is often a great time to do it. Whatâs important is that youâre both feeling relatively calm, comfortable, and ready to relax.When youâre ready, undress your baby (their nappy can stay on, or come off â itâs up to you), take off any sharp or spiky rings, and if you tend to run cold, do your tot a favor and warm those hands up!If youâre using any, prepare your oil or cream (cold pressed sunflower oil is the best) by adding a little onto your palms rather than applying directly to your babyâs skin (though itâs best to avoid using any at all during the first month of life). Always let baby know what youâre doing, too â tell them youâre about to give them a massage, and let them see you rubbing your hands together to warm the oil. This will become a cue so they learn to anticipate whatâs coming next.Then? Youâre both good to go!Step 1: Start with the feet and legsGently hold your babyâs leg with one hand, and use the other to make smooth, upward strokes from the ankle to the thigh. You can repeat this a few times on each leg â oh, and feel free to admire how wonderfully plump they are while youâre at it. For the feet, focus on each individual toe, applying soft pressure and gently spreading the toes out, one by one. Step 2: Tummy rubsUse your fingers to trace small circles on their tummy, then use your palms to gently stroke down their chest, as if youâre erasing the circles. Always go in a clockwise motion to mimic the direction of the bowel.Step 3: Arms and handsSimilar to what you did with the legs, gently hold one arm at a time, and start with soft strokes from the wrist to the shoulder. For the hands, massage the palm by applying gentle pressure with your thumbs and rotating. Massage each finger individually, holding them with your index finger and thumb, applying gentle pressure, and ârollingâ them back and forth. Step 4: BackCarefully turn your baby onto their tummy, making sure theyâre fully comfortable, and use long, gentle, slow strokes from the neck down to the toes. Lift each leg by the heel, and gently push it towards their bottom. Step 5: Head and faceFinally, finish off with some gentle strokes on their head and face. Use your fingertips to make tiny circles on their scalp. Lightly massage their forehead and, of course, those adorable cheeks. A gentle facial massage can also be useful for clearing congestion or easing teething pain â for the former, sweep your fingers down and outwards across the nose, and gently massage the jaw to help with the latter. Remember: face strokes should always be very gentle â no more than the pressure youâd put on your own eyelids with your finger.Does baby massage help with colic?Yes! Gentle strokes can aid digestion and help to alleviate any discomfort from gas or c
8088olic. Massaging specifically to relieve colic is performed a little differently from a regular infant massage though, so weâll take you through the steps needed.Baby massage for colicTrying to soothe a gassy, fussy baby can be rough, but youâd be surprised at the wonders a little massage therapy can work on your troubled tot. Hereâs a quick guide to infant massage techniques specifically targeting the causes of gassiness. \"I Love You\" massageTrace the letters \"I,\" \"L,\" and \"U\" on your babyâs tummy using gentle strokes. This helps stimulate digestion and release gas.Knee-to-tummy pumpHold your babyâs legs, gently pressing their knees toward their belly, then releasing. Repeat to relieve bloating and encourage gas to pass.The water wheelUsing both hands, make smooth, downward strokes from the ribs to the lower belly, like a gentle wave. This can help move gas through the digestive system.Bicycle legsMove your babyâs legs in a slow, cycling motion to help release trapped gas and soothe their tummy.Tummy circlesWith two fingers, make gentle clockwise circles around the belly button. This mimics the natural flow of digestion and eases discomfort â just be careful not to put too much pressure on the bladder.A few extra things to keep in mind\nTiming is everything. Try to massage your baby when theyâre calm but awake â think right after a bath or before bedtime. Avoid massaging right after feeding or when theyâre especially fussy. \nGentle oils for a gentle touch. Opt for the most natural oil or lotion you can find â cold pressed sunflower oil is a popular favorite. Just remember to always perform a patch test to make sure thereâs no risk of a reaction, and avoid using oils at all until your babyâs at least one month old. \nFollow your little oneâs cues. Your baby is the ultimate guide here! Pay attention to their body language and sounds. If they seem uncomfortable or upset, it might be time to stop or change your approach. The key is to make it a pleasant experience for both of you.\nMake sure the room (and your hands) are warm enough. The room should be at least 68-72°F (20-22°C) and your hands should be nice and warm to ensure your baby is comfortable.\nHow do I know my babyâs enjoying their massage?To the untrained eye, babies arenât the best at explaining how theyâre feeling, but give things time and youâll become fluent in their (unspoken) language. If your baby shows any of the signs below, you can be confident that youâre hitting all the right spots:\nRelaxed body language. If your baby seems loose and relaxed (as opposed to tense or stiff), theyâre likely enjoying the experience.\nGiggling or coos. Sweet little sounds and giggles are clear indicators that your baby is having a good time. Itâs like their version of saying, âMore, please!â\nEye contact and smiles. If theyâre looking at you and smiling, itâs a great sign that theyâre connecting and feeling loved.\nAre there any times I shouldnât massage my baby?While baby massage can be beneficial, there are times when itâs probably best to skip it. Here are a few situations to watch out for:\nWhen your baby is unwell. If they have a fever, rash, or any signs of illness, itâs best to hold off until theyâre feeling better. If theyâre gassy or have colic, a massage can help, but youâll need to switch things up a little â follow our colic massage guide above!\nStraight after feeding. Try to wait at least 30 minutes after feeding before diving into a massage. Nobody wants a baby spewing their last meal mid-massage!\nAfter vaccinations. If your baby has had a vaccination, you should wait at least 48 hours before giving them a massage.\nIf theyâre in pain. If your baby seems unusually fussy or is crying (and you canât figure out why), massage might not be the answer. Always check with your pediatrician if youâre unsure.\nMassage is one of the most powerful tools in a parentâs toolkit â not only does it come to the rescue during bedtime or those dreaded gassy moments, but itâs also an amazing way to strengthen your bond with your little one.

Well, white noise is similar, in that it contains all audible sound frequencies.\nImagine a sound wave as ripples in water after you drop a pebble. Some ripples are close together, while others are spread farther apart. In terms of sound, when the waves are close together, the sound has a high frequency, which means it has a high pitch â like a whistle or a bird chirping. When the waves are farther apart, the sound has a low frequency, giving it a low pitch â like the throb of a bass guitar, or a deep voice.\nWe measure these wavelengths in hertz (Hz), which tells us how many times the sound wave vibrates per second. The higher the hertz, the higher the pitch.\nWhite noise occurs when a sound contains all the different frequencies of sound at once, creating a consistent, even tone, and even making other environmental sounds blend into the background.\nOur brains are naturally wired to pay attention to any sudden changes in our environment â like a car beeping or a door slamming â and white noise can help make these sudden noises less noticeable. This is why some people find the hum of an air conditioner or a fan particularly calming; and if youâve ever wondered why youâre so prone to falling asleep during a long journey spent riding shotgun, you can blame the constant hum of the carâs engine!\nWill white noise help my baby sleep?\nWhite noise can help your baby sleep, but thereâs no guarantee theyâll enjoy it! A 1990 study found that white noise helped 80% of newborns fall asleep within five minutes, compared to only 25% in a control group who didnât use white noise. So, in short â yes, white noise is likely to help your baby sleep, but success isnât guaranteed.\nThe pros of using white noise\nOne of the reasons white noise is so effective is that it mimics the sound your baby was used to in the womb. Pre-birth, your little oneâs life was soundtracked by the rhythmic whooshing of blood, and white noise can replicate this environment by creating a similar soundscape.\nAs we touched on earlier, white noise is also brilliant at masking and disguising any sudden noises that could wake your baby up. Whether itâs barking from the dog, the clatter of dishes as you (rather clumsily) do the washing up, or a door slamming in the breeze, white noise can limit its effect on your little oneâs sleep.\nThe cons of white noise for babies\nIf white noise works for your baby, thereâs a chance that they could become dependent on it. This might lead to some tricky situations if you need to get your little one to sleep in a place where youâre unable to play white noise, or the device you use to create the white noise breaks.\nSome white noise machines may also exceed the recommended noise limits for babies (more on that below), and just like us adults, not all babies care for white noise â you might even find that it prevents your baby from sleeping!\nIs white noise safe for my baby?\nDespite what you may think, white noise isnât completely risk-free.\nA study conducted by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) in 2014 found that of the 14 white noise machines they tested, all of them exceeded the recommended noise limits of 50dB. Even more concerningly, they discovered that three of the machines tested were actually capable of reaching a volume above 85dB â a volume that, if played for 8 hours or more, could risk noise-induced hearing loss.\nBecause of this, pediatricians agree that if white noise machines are used, they should be placed at least 7 feet away from your babyâs crib or bassinet, and its volume setting never turned to max.\nWhite noise alternatives for babies\nIf white noise doesnât work for your baby, or youâre just looking for additional ways to help your baby catch a few ZZZs, try some of these calm-promoting techniques:\nSwaddling\nSwaddling â wrapping your baby in a thin, soft blanket â mimics the snug, safe environment of the womb, and can even reduce the startle (moro) reflex. However, itâs important to swaddle safely, following the correct technique (as detailed here), and never swaddle a baby whoâs capable of rolling over, as this could lead to suffocation â you should avoid swaddling altogether by 16 weeks at the latest.\nRocking to sleep\nGentle rocking, whether in your arms or in a rocking chair, can be super so
8111othing for your tot. A baby swing, bouncer, or smart bassinet can also provide a calming motion that helps your little one drift off, but theyâre not safe for unattended sleeping.\nCreating the ideal sleep environment\nHow snooze-ready is your little oneâs sleep space? Babies love to sleep in the dark, so try to make the room as dark as possible when itâs time for bed. Blackout curtains are ideal, but shades can work wonders, too.\nNext up: temperature. The ambient temperature of your babyâs bedroom needs to be just right â try to keep it between 68°F to 72°F (or 20°C to 22°C), and eliminate any cold drafts where possible.\nNatural daylight\nExposing your baby to natural daylight during the day can help regulate their circadian rhythms (which begin to develop from around 6 weeks), making it easier for them to sleep at night. Try to ensure your baby gets some outdoor time or is in a well-lit room during the day.\nDifferent âshadesâ of noise to try\nIf your baby isnât best pleased with white noise, you could always try another âcolorâ of sound. Each shade has a unique vibe, and most people tend to have a preference one way or the other. It could be the same for your tot; so if youâre curious, give these a try:\nGray noise for babies\nYou can think of gray noise as âwhite noise remasteredâ. With gray noise, the intensity of higher frequencies is reduced, providing a less âhissyâ sound, closer to a gentle hum, or the sound of wind rustling through leaves.\nPink noise for babies\nSofter and more ânaturalâ sounding, pink noise is often compared to the sound of steady rain or wind. Pink noise reduces the volume of the higher frequencies and boosts the lower ends of the sound spectrum, giving it a deeper, cozier sound.\nItâs often considered more soothing than white noise, and many parents find their babies prefer it â maybe because itâs one of the most commonly observed signals in biological systems. In other words, pink noise is closer to the kind of sounds your tot wouldâve jammed out to in the womb!\nBrown noise for babies\nBrown noise (also called Brownian noise or red noise) emphasizes even more of the lower frequencies than pink noise, making it much deeper and rumbling. It resembles the low roar of thunder or a distant waterfall and is often perceived as very calming, especially for people sensitive to high-pitched sounds.\nAs with so many aspects of parenting, getting your baby to sleep can involve a lot of trial and error, so donât be afraid to try the whole spectrum of sounds â you never know which (if any) your baby will prefer. Just remember to keep volume levels low (50dB or lower) and position the device at least 7 feet away from their crib! \nFor more tips on getting your little one off to the land of nod, check out our guide to getting your baby to sleep in a bassinet for the first time, or head to our index to view our complete back catalog of articles.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8112 "datePublished": "2025-01-08 08:23:20 -0800", 8113 "dateModified": "2025-01-08 08:23:20 -0800", 8114 "author": { 8115 "@type": "Person", 8116 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/white-noise-for-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8117 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/white-noise-for-baby/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8118 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8119 "image": { 8120 "@type": "ImageObject", 8121 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1198320942_02deeb3a-5721-4db9-938f-3f5cba11d3bf.jpg?v=1752192656", 8122 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1198320942_02deeb3a-5721-4db9-938f-3f5cba11d3bf.jpg?v=1752192656" 8123 }, 8124 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/white-noise-for-baby", 8125 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8126 } 8127 , 8128{ 8129 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8130 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-wont-sleep-unless-held", 8131 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-wont-sleep-unless-held", 8132 "headline":"What to Do When Your Baby Won't Sleep Unless Held", 8133 "name":"What to Do When Your Baby Won't Sleep Unless Held", 8134 "description":"Why does my baby prefer sleeping while being held?Firstly, weâd like to assure you that, despite what you may believe, your baby isnât plotting to steal all of your free time â just most of it, but hey, thatâs all part of the job.No, the reason they crave being held is rooted in biology. For nine months, your baby was suspended in space â a universe meant just for them â with every biological desire automatically and instantly provided for. They werenât just near you, they were a part of you, living in an environment crafted through millions of years of evolution to provide the ultimate comfort, soundtracked by the constant, soft rhythm of your heartbeat. So, when theyâre born, itâs only natural that theyâll crave the next closest thing to this â snuggling up in your arms, safe, cozy, and next to your heart. As your babyâs attachment to you grows during these early months, theyâll often crave the comfort of your smell, your touch, and even your voice.But itâs not just comfort causing the clinginess â being close to you regulates their breathing, heart rate, and even their body temperature. So, if theyâre dozing off happily in your arms but waking up the moment you put them down, itâs not because theyâre spoiled or trying to mess you around (even if weâll concede that babies seem rather devilish even at the best of times). No, itâs just their natural survival instincts kicking in. What are sleep associations? Babies are quick learners, especially when it comes to sleep. If theyâve gotten used to falling asleep in your arms, that becomes their go-to comfort zone. This is whatâs known as a sleep association, and itâs basically a habit your baby forms around how they fall asleep â a little like how we adults tend to favor a specific spot to lounge around in the living room. If your tot tends to fall asleep while being held, theyâll naturally come to expect that youâll be there whenever they wake up â you can see how this might lead to plenty of sleepless nights for you!So, how do you start shifting these sleep associations to something a bit more manageable â like, say, the bassinet or crib? By creating new, positive habits for your baby that donât require them to be attached to your bosom.How to get your baby to sleep without being heldOkay â letâs get to the good stuff: solutions. Below, weâve put together a few expert-approved tips for helping your little one transition into sleeping without needing to be held.Create a calming sleep environmentRemember earlier when we mentioned how your babyâs clinginess can be traced back to their earliest experiences of comfort in the womb? Well, one of the best ways to encourage them to sleep in their crib is by recreating this environment as closely as possible. You want it to be warm, dark, and uber-cozy. Hereâs how to do it:\nTemperature: Aim for a room temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C). Babies canât regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so keeping them comfortable is the key to a minimally-disturbed night.\nLighting: Use blackout curtains to block out any light that could interfere with their sleep. The darker, the better.\nBedding: Make sure their mattress is firm (no soft pillows or blankets â these can be dangerous!) and use a fitted sheet. If your baby likes swaddling, a snug swaddle can help mimic the feeling of being held â just be sure to follow safe swaddling guidelines. \nMake the transition gradualGoing from snoozing in y
8134our arms to sleeping independently can be a big step for your little one, so ease the process by aiming for a slow yet steady transition.Start by holding them until theyâre drowsy but not completely asleep. Then, gently place them in their bassinet or crib. This teaches them to associate the crib with falling asleep, rather than just waking up in it and wondering âwhere on earth am I?âAfter laying them down, stay close by and offer soothing words or gentle touches. You can gradually decrease your involvement over the course of a few weeks â this is known as the âsit and sootheâ technique.Try the 5 SâsDeveloped by world-famous pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, the â5 Sâsâ are a great way to help calm your baby. Not familiar? Weâve got you covered.\nSwaddle: Wrap your baby snugly in a swaddle to mimic the cozy confines of the womb.\nSide or Stomach Position: (While holding â never for sleeping in the crib!) Hold them on their side or stomach for a moment to help soothe them. Once theyâre asleep, always place them on their back.\nShush: Make a gentle shushing sound to mimic the white noise of the womb. You can also use a white noise machine for this.\nSwing: Rocking or swinging can mimic the motion they felt while you were pregnant. You can do this in your arms or with a swing or vibrating seat.\nSuck: Allowing your baby to suck on a pacifier or their thumb can be very comforting.\nUse white noiseWhite noise can be a little divisive â something weâve covered in our dedicated white noise guide â but many parents find that it helps their totâs travels to slumberland, so if youâre losing hope, itâs certainly worth a shot (just remember to keep volume levels below 50dB, and make sure the device is at least 7 feet away from your baby at all times!)White noise machines create a soothing ânoise blanketâ, and can help to block out any other disturbing sounds that might otherwise wake your baby up. If youâd rather not splash out on a dedicated device though, you could always try one of the following alternatives:\nA fan or air purifier: They provide a gentle, consistent hum that can soothe your little one.\nApps or playlists: There are plenty of apps and playlists with soft, relaxing sounds specifically designed for sleep.\nLearn your babyâs wake windowsEvery baby has a specific amount of time they can be awake before they get overtired (which can make it harder for them to fall asleep). Hereâs how to figure it out:\nKeep an eye on your babyâs cues: Watch for signs of tiredness like yawning, rubbing their eyes, or fussiness.\nTrack their wake times: Most newborns can handle about 45-60 minutes of awake time, while older babies might be able to stay awake for longer â up to 2-3 hours as they grow. Adjusting bedtime accordingly can help them drift off more easily, but each baby is different so stay curious and notice how long your baby is happily awake for.\nCheck for signs of acid refluxIf your baby seems particularly fussy after eating or has trouble sleeping flat, they may be experiencing acid reflux. Here are a few ways to help:\nKeep them upright after feedings: Hold your baby in an upright position for about 20-30 minutes after feeding to help prevent reflux.\nConsider your feeding method: If youâre bottle-feeding, for example, make sure the nipple size is appropriate to prevent them from gulping air. Itâs also important to assess their latch and positioning on the bottle or breast.\nTry baby massageThe ideaâs pretty simple â just introduce a short 10-15 minutes of gentle, soothing massage before bedtime. Repeat this, and over time, your tot should start to associate the relaxing strokes of your massage with sleep. Start from their toes and legs, work your way up, and then â if they allow you to â gently flip âem onto their tummy and work on their back.Make a routine â and stick to it!Routine â itâs something we tend to go on about here at Elvie, and for good reason. Babies thrive on a consistent routine, and by establishing a set time for slumber, youâll stand a much better chance at transferring your little one from in-arm snoozes to independent bedtime. To maximize your chance of success, keep things simple. Choose one or tw
8134o calming activities that you can link to bedtime â a warm bath, storytime, or as mentioned above, a soothing massage. Aim to put your tot in their crib or bassinet within a set 20-30 minute window each night and eventually, theyâll learn to anticipate being put down at around the same time, making the transition much less stressful for both of you. Things to watch out forUnfortunately, every parent has to struggle through a tricky transitional bedtime period â itâs all part and parcel of the childrearing experience. However, sometimes these trying times can have more serious underlying causes.If you notice any of the symptoms below, or if your parental instincts are telling you something just feels off, donât hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician. Even if it turns out to be nothing serious, itâs always better to have peace of mind.Baby screams when put downIf your baby is crying or screaming excessively or seems especially uncomfortable once bedtime rolls around, it could be more than just typical twilight fussiness. Prolonged, inconsolable crying (often referred to as colic-like behavior) could indicate gastrointestinal issues, food intolerance, or even something like acid reflux. What to watch for:\nArching their back while crying\nPulling their legs toward their belly\nFussiness during or after feeding\nNoisy breathingAs obvious as it may seem, breathing issues should never be taken lightly. Whether your babyâs snoring loudly or gasping for breath, if you notice any breathing irregularities at all, consult your pediatrician immediately.What to watch for:\nLoud, raspy breathing\nPauses in breathing during sleep\nLabored breathing or flaring nostrils\nFrequent night wakingYes, babies tend to wake up a lot at night, and itâs typical for you tot to rouse every 2-3 hours during the newborn period, but if theyâre waking up constantly and seem particularly averse to drifting back to sleep, there may be an underlying medical reason. What to watch for:\nWaking up every hour or more frequently, despite consistent soothing efforts\nDifficulty falling back asleep, even after being fed or comforted\nSkin rashes or allergic reactionsIf your baby seems particularly displeased during bedtime, check them for rashes. Allergies or eczema can play havoc with your totâs sleep schedule, and if theyâre waking up scratching or seem extra fidgety during the day, this could be the culprit.What to watch for:\nRed, inflamed skin or patches of eczema\nScratching or rubbing their face during the night\nUnexplained rashes or hives that seem to worsen during sleep\nAt Elvie, we understand that getting your baby to sleep soundly and independently can feel like an uphill battle, but trust us â a little perseverance goes a long way, so stay strong!

Newborns are in a constant, rapid state of growth. In the first few months of life, your baby will put on roughly 28g of weight per day â quite a lot for someone so tiny! And because their body is still very much under construction, this can cause all sorts of nighttime noisiness. Some of the biological factors influencing your babyâs bedtime babble include:\n\n\nHunger. Lip-smacking, suckling, and rooting noises all indicate a hungry baby. If theyâre making these sounds, try a little preemptive feeding session â because letâs face it, who doesnât love being woken up from a nap with a delicious meal?\n\n\nSleep transitions. A newborn goes through two distinct sleep stages during the first few months of life. These
8157cycles are referred to as REM (or âactiveâ) sleep and non-REM (or âquietâ) sleep. During their active sleep phases â which account for around 50% of their slumber time â they may stir, resulting in a few groans and squawks.\n\n\nBowel movements. Poop â as parents, itâs something weâre well acquainted with. If your baby suddenly starts grunting mid-snooze, weâre afraid to say thereâs a strong chance theyâre going for a number two. Thankfully, other than the smell, noisy pooping (sometimes referred to as âgrunting baby syndromeâ or Dyschezia) is usually harmless, though it can be alarming to new parents unfamiliar with the sound.\n\n\nPhysiological development. Because your little oneâs digestive and respiratory systems are still developing, theyâre under a lot more stress, especially while theyâre asleep. This means more naptime noises â think gurgling, moans, and changes in the rhythm of their breaths.\n\n\nNose breathing. Until they reach 3-4 months of age, your tot will breathe exclusively through their nose. Given the tiny size of their nasal passages, they can become very easily clogged, which can lead to congestion and sniffling.\n\n\nNormal baby sleep sounds\nAs a parent, âIs this normal?â might just be one of your most frequent thoughts â right up there with âWill I ever get to have a full nightâs sleep again?â and âWhat are you crying about now?â.\nBy way of reassurance, weâve included a list of some of the most common (completely normal) baby sleep sounds below:\nGurgling\nWhile it might be surprisingly loud, gurging is usually no cause for concern. Babies often gurgle in their sleep because of their underdeveloped swallowing reflexes. As strange as the sounds may be, theyâre not a sign of distress â your totâs just figuring out the art of âsaliva managementâ.\nHiccuping\nObjectively adorable to observe, and no cause for concern, hiccups are caused by a diaphragm spasm and are more common in infants because their digestive systems are still developing â you may have even noticed your baby hiccuping in the womb!\nHiccups generally donât bother babies like they do adults, so if you hear them in the middle of the night, thereâs no need to worry. Believe it or not, some babies sleep right through their hiccuping episodes.\nBurping or passing gas\nBabies tend to swallow lots of air during feeding, and all that trapped gas has to escape at some point â even if theyâre fast asleep. The occasional burp or toot is all par for the course while youâre totâs snoozing. If they seem particularly flatulent though, massaging their tummy with gentle clockwise strokes or âbicyclingâ their legs can help to relieve any discomfort.\nGrunting\nGrunting is another common sleep noise â especially if your little oneâs entering a new sleep phase, or trying to pass stool. As mentioned earlier, grunting is most commonly associated with digestion.\nBelieve it or not, we werenât born with the muscle coordination required to pass stool comfortably; we had to learn how to do it. So, if you hear any grunting, it might just mean your totâs coming up with the next diaper-based masterpiece. Icky, perhaps, but no cause for concern.\nLip-smacking\nLip-smacking is a natural reflex tied to feeding, so if you hear it during naptime, it might be time to wake your baby up via boob or bottle. It can also be a self-soothing method and is linked to the transitionary period between sleep cycles.\nNormal baby breathing sounds\nNoticing a change in your babyâs breathing might be unsettling, but itâs worth remembering that babiesâ breathing patterns are often irregular. Unlike your fully-formed adult respiratory system, theirs is still developing. So, if you notice any of the following breathing noises, donât be alarmed â your totâs just adjusting to life outside the womb.\nFast breathing\nBabies breathe much faster than adults â around 40 to 60 times a minute. This rapid breathing is especially noticeable when theyâre in the active sleep phase, while experiencing REM sleep. Provided it isnât accompanied by wheezing or sudden, sharp intakes of breath, this is usually no cause for concern â but you should always consult a pediatrician if youâre worried.\nRapid breathing can also be caused by:\n\n\nTransient tachypnea: This condition is common in newborns, particularly those born by C-section. Transient tachypnea occurs when fluid remains in a babyâs lungs after birth, causing rapid breathing (more than 60 breaths per minute) as their lungs work to clear the excess fluid. The good news? It usually resolves within the first day or two of life and doesnât cause long-term problems. However, if it persists, your doctor may want to monitor your babyâs oxygen levels to ensure theyâre breathing comfortably.\n\n\nLaryngomalacia: This is where the tissues of the babyâs larynx (voice box) are softer than usual, causing them to collapse inward during inhalation. The result is noisy breathing or rapid breathing, especially when lying on their back. Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of noisy breathing in infants and tends to improve as your baby grows and the tissues firm up. In most cases, itâs not dangerous, though it can cause some feeding or breathing difficulties in more severe instances. If you suspect laryngomalacia, your pediatrician can evaluate your babyâs breathing to ensure everything is developing properly.\n\n\nPauses in breathing\nBrief pauses between breaths might be alarming, but they're perfectly normal. This is referred to as periodic breathing, and itâs not uncommon for pauses to last as long as 10 seconds â frightening, yes, but completely normal. Over time, as your babyâs respiratory system matures, their breathing will become more consistent.\nSighing\nLittle sleepy sighs are as useful as they are adorable, serving to regulate (and, according to re
8157cent research, reset) breathing, and maintain lung function.\nSnuffling\nAs we mentioned earlier, babies are uber-prone to congestion thanks to their teeny tiny nasal passages. If your baby tends to snuffle while sleeping, itâs likely down to nasal congestion. Saline drops can help clear any blockages if they seem to be affecting their ability to stay snoozinâ, but the noise itself is typically nothing to be worried about.\nAre there any baby sleep sounds to be concerned about?\nYouâre well-versed in your babyâs sleepytime setlist. You know all the hits â gurgling, gargling, and groaning â but weâre not finished just yet. Itâs important to know which sounds are healthy staples of your babyâs nightly symphony, and which ones might indicate something more serious.\nWheezing\nIf you notice a high-pitched whistling sound while your baby is breathing â especially if it continues over time â it could be a sign of a respiratory issue, allergy, or infection. Around 25-30% of infants will have at least one episode of wheezing, and while itâs usually nothing serious, itâs always best to err on the side of caution and get it checked out by a professional if itâs a recurring issue.\nPersistent coughing\nThe occasional cough or sneeze is usually no cause for concern; but if your tot canât seem to shake their cough, or itâs accompanied by rapid breathing, this could signal an infection or even whooping cough.\nStridor\nThis is a harsh, grating sound made while breathing in, usually indicating a blockage or inflammation in the airway. The sound can vary â some parents report it sounding wheezy, while others hear a high-pitched squeak. In any case, itâs worth getting your tot checked out if you suspect stridor, as this condition can occur with conditions like croup, an infection in the upper airway.\nLabored breathing\nIf you ever notice your babyâs chest sinking in, or their nostrils flaring with each breath, this could be a sign that theyâre struggling to breathe, and you should seek medical attention immediately. \nRhythmic grunting\nA few grunts here and there are perfectly fine, but consistent, rhythmic grunting â not so much. This could indicate respiratory distress syndrome, and is worth getting checked by a professional.\nExtra-long exhales\nIf you notice that your baby is taking a long time to exhale â even if their breathing seems calm â it could indicate an obstruction in their airway. A delayed or labored exhale might suggest conditions like bronchiolitis or asthma, so itâs a good idea to contact a doctor if your babyâs exhaling for 2 seconds or longer.\nWhen will my baby stop making so much noise in their sleep?\nSome babies begin to sleep more peacefully once they hit the 3-6 month mark, as their sleep cycles stabilize and their digestive and respiratory systems develop, but every baby is different. Itâs not unheard of for some children to remain noisy snoozers well into their toddling years â and some even beyond that (if youâve ever had to deal with a snoring partner, youâll understand this more than most).\nOn the plus side, the more you hear your totâs sleeping noises, the more attuned youâll become to them. Where in the past you may have felt frantic and fearful whenever your baby let out a peep while asleep, youâll gradually be able to distinguish between ânormalâ sounds and noises that might require further investigation.\nHopefully, weâve allayed any fears you mightâve had over your babyâs naptime noises, but remember: if youâre ever unsure or something doesnât feel right, thereâs never any harm in getting a professional opinion.

This happens because your babyâs newborn sleep cycle is transitioning to a more âadult-likeâ pattern, and is an important part of your babyâs development.\nBut of course, your babyâs sleep needs are constantly evolving, and this means theyâll often be faced with temporary periods of sleep disruption. So while the so-called 6-month and 9-month sleep regressions are something of a myth, itâs not unusual for your babyâs sleep pattern to be knocked temporarily âoff trackâ at various stages.\nWhat causes temporary sleep disruptions?\nThese temporary sleep disturbances can be the result of a combination of factors: they often occur alongside significant developmental stages, which can include cognitive advancements as well as physical changes. They can also happen when your babyâs routine is disrupted, such as when transitioning them from a crib to a bed.\nThese are some of the most common reasons sleep disturbances happen:\n\n\nDevelopmental milestones. As babies grow, they learn new things like rolling over, crawling, walking, and talking. This can sometimes make it harder for them to settle down and sleep, as they process these new skills and sensations.\n\n\nCognitive growth. Your babyâs brain is rapidly maturing in terms of memory, knowledge, and awareness. As these cognitive functions develop, they may resist sleep or wake up more frequently during the night.\n\n\nTeething. The physical discomfort of their first teeth emerging may mean your baby wakes up more often or has trouble getting to sleep (although this should last only 3-5 days after the tooth emerges).\n\n\nIllness. Any kind of illness can temporarily disrupt a babyâs sleep pattern, whether itâs a cold, an infection, or an upset stomach.\n\n\nGrowth spurts. Growth spurts often lead to increased tiredness, but they also cause babies to wake up more often during the night â particularly as theyâre often hungrier and may require more nighttime feeds than normal.\n\n\nSeparation anxiety. Emotional factors can also contribute to sleep disturbances, and babies who develop separation anxiety may struggle to sleep due to the unease they feel when being left alone in their crib.\n\n\nChanges in routine. Most babies favor c
8180onsistency, so any significant changes in their routine or environment, including adapting to a new bed, traveling, or moving home, can trigger sleep disruptions.\n\n\nChanging nap timetables. As your baby grows, theyâll need fewer naps during the day. But transitioning them from three daily naps to two, for example, may cause a temporary disruption to their nighttime sleep as they adjust.\n\n\nWhat are the signs of sleep regression?\nSleep regression usually happens when your baby is around 3-4 months old, and signals a permanent change in their sleep behavior. Because itâs such a significant step in their development, this period is often accompanied by a temporary worsening of your babyâs sleep, and they may become more fussy or difficult to settle as they navigate this transition.\nOf course, not all babies experience the 4-month sleep regression in the same way â some may become increasingly fussy or clingy around bedtime, for example, while others may wake more frequently during the night or find it harder to settle. Some babies experience very little sleep disruption at all during this stage.\nWhat are the signs of temporary sleep disruption?\nAs weâve mentioned, the âofficialâ sleep regression typically rears its head around the 4-month mark for many babies, but most will experience temporary sleep disruptions at various stages throughout their development. These can occur at any time, and may be characterized by one or more of the following:\n\n\nIncreased night wakings. Your baby may start waking up more frequently during the night, even if they previously slept through it.\n\n\nDifficulty falling asleep. Your baby may take much longer to fall asleep than usual, even if they appear tired.\n\n\nResistance to sleep. Your baby may become resistant to bedtime and start fighting sleep altogether.\n\n\nShorter naps. Your babyâs daytime naps may become shorter or more erratic â which can impact their nighttime sleeping routine, too.\n\n\nIncreased fussiness or clinginess. Your baby may be particularly fussy or clingy around their normal bedtime.\n\n\nHow to alleviate sleep disturbances\nWhile sleep disruptions often come on suddenly and there arenât always warning signs that one is on the way, identifying the signs as early as possible can help you put measures in place to help deal with the issues quicker, whether that means adapting your babyâs sleep schedule or simply tempering your own expectations.\nBy spotting the signs of a sleep disruption early, you may be able to introduce changes such as:\nAdjust their bedtime routine\n\n\nIf your baby is overtired, making their bedtime earlier can help prevent them from becoming so exhausted that they resist sleep.\n\n\nIf they seem full of energy at bedtime, moving it slightly later might give them more time to wind down and feel ready for sleep.\n\n\nAlter their nap schedule\n\n\nIf their daily naps are typically long or frequent, reducing the number or duration of naps can help your baby consolidate more sleep at night.\n\n\nConversely, if theyâre overtired due to shorter naps, encouraging more daytime sleep may prevent them from becoming too exhausted by bedtime.\n\n\nIntroduce calming pre-sleep activities\n\n\nA warm bath or a gentle massage before bedtime can soothe and relax your baby so they feel more ready to sleep.\n\n\nReading a quiet bedtime story or playing soft, soothing music can become a nightly routine that signals itâs time for bed.\n\n\nOffer extra comfort and reassurance\n\n\nIf theyâre struggling to settle at night, consider spending a little more time holding, cuddling, or rocking your baby before putting them down.\n\n\nIf they wake up frequently during the night, respond with soothing actions such as patting or shushing to reassure them.\n\n\nSet realistic expectations\n\n\nUnderstand that sleep regressions are temporary and a normal part of your babyâs development â nearly all babies have them.\n\n\nBe prepared for more frequent wake-ups or rough nights, but remind yourself that sleep regressions donât last forever.\n\n\nWhile the 4-month sleep regression is an unwelcome inevitability for most parents (a very lucky few notwithstanding), knowing how to spot the telltale early signs can at least prepare you for whatâs to come â and help you come out the other side relatively unscathed. In any case, itâs important to remember that itâs actually a very important stage in your babyâs development, and crucially â it will pass.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.",

Newborns can spend up to 18 hours out of every 24 sleeping, but this typically comes in short stints throughout the day and night, with your baby waking to feed every few hours.\nAccompanied by the fact they havenât yet developed their circadian rhythm (or internal âbody clockâ), this means thereâs really no such thing as an âidealâ bedtime for a newborn â their sleep patterns are irregular, their wake windows are frequent, and theyâll often sleep as much during the day as they do at nighttime.\nAs they get older and their body clocks evolve, however, itâs possible to start easing them into a more consistent nighttime routine. This doesnât mean youâll magically be able to settle them down at the same time each night â their ever-changing sleep and developmental needs will ensure itâs never that simple â but you may at least begin to be able to find a bedtime schedule that works for you and your baby.\nIn truth, there isnât a catch-all âidealâ bedtime for babies, as this can vary depending on their age, sleep needs, and individual snoozing patterns. Generally, an early bedtime of around 6.30-8.30pm is considered appropriate, but the most important thing is to follow your babyâs sleep cues and find the best fit based on their usual wake-up time and nap schedule.\nIs 6pm too early for a babyâs bedtime?\nIf you want to avoid a very early wake-up call then yes, 6pm is probably a little too early to put your baby to bed â since itâs likely theyâll be ready to âstart the dayâ around 4-5am. Weâd tend not to recommend putting your baby down until at least 6.30pm, as it stands to reason that the earlier they go to bed, the earlier theyâll wake the next morning.\nOf course, if youâre fine with your baby waking up early, an earlier bedtime of 6.30-7pm may work well. But if they naturally tend to sleep in a little later or youâd prefer them to have a longer lie-in each morning, a later bedtime such as 7.30-8.30pm might be better. Itâs ultimately about finding what works for you and your little one.\nWhat if my baby falls asleep before bedtime?\nIf your baby falls asleep before their set bedtime, itâs generally okay to let them snooze. Their sleep needs evolve, and theyâll usually tell you when theyâre ready for sleep through signs like yawning and eye-rubbing, which signal their bodyâs natural âsleep driveâ kicking in. Forcing them to stay awake can lead to overtiredness, which can actually make it harder for them to settle down later.\nIf theyâre regularly falling asleep earlier than expected, consider adjusting their daytime nap sc
8203hedule. Their wake windows are likely to be around 2 to 3 hours (although this can vary from baby to baby), so try to time their last nap before bedtime to ensure theyâre awake for long enough â but not too long â and less likely to fall asleep early come nighttime.\nWhat if my baby goes to bed too late?\nPutting a baby to bed too late can often make them overtired, which paradoxically makes it harder for them to fall â and stay â asleep. When babies become overtired, their bodies release stress hormones like cortisol, which can cause them to wake more frequently during the night and wake up earlier in the morning (not great news for parents).\nIf your baby is consistently going to bed too late, consider gradually putting them down a little earlier (say 10-15 minutes each night) until you reach a more reasonable bedtime. This slow transition will help them adjust to an earlier bedtime, while maintaining a calm, consistent pre-sleep routine will signal to your baby that itâs time for bed.\nThe (almost) perfect baby bedtime routine\nNow, as weâve established, thereâs really no such thing as the ideal bedtime for a baby â the best time to put them down will depend on their own sleep needs and natural sleep patterns. Itâs important to stress that the following is merely a guide rather than an exact science, and is subject to many variables.\nNewborn (0-3 months)\nAs weâve pointed out already, the terms ânewbornâ and âconsistent bedtimeâ rarely go together. This is mostly because circadian rhythms donât begin to develop until around six weeks of age (and wonât be fully established for at least three months), meaning their internal body clocks canât tell the difference between day and night.\nYour newborn might be ready for bed sometime between 8-11pm, but thereâs no need to fixate on bedtime since their sleep patterns are usually quite erratic â âputting your baby to bedâ at nighttime is really no different than putting them down for a nap during the day, since theyâll typically sleep for no more than 2-4 hours at a time, day or night.\nWhatâs most important at this stage is picking up on their sleep cues: rather than trying in vain to set a scheduled bedtime each night, pay attention to telltale signs of sleepiness that indicate your little one is ready to be put down. Newborn sleep cues can include:\n\n\nYawning, the universal shorthand for tiredness\n\n\nBecoming increasingly fussy or whimpering\n\n\nRubbing their eyes or face\n\n\nPulling on their ears of hair\n\n\nBecoming less active or engaged in their surroundings\n\n\n3-6 months\nWhile babiesâ circadian rhythms start developing from around six weeks, they usually become more firmly established between three and six months. This means they start to develop a natural sleep-wake cycle, and will gradually begin sleeping more during the night because their bodies understand the difference between daytime and nighttime.\nWhile itâs normal at this stage for your baby to still be napping 3-4 times a day (check out our month-by-month guide to nap schedules to understand more about their typical daytime sleep patterns), this evolution of their body clock means itâs also possible â though not necessarily straightforward â to start establishing a more consistent bedtime routine.\nAs a (very) general rule, an early bedtime of around 6.30-8.30pm can help them settle into a natural circadian rhythm while ensuring theyâre getting plenty of nighttime shuteye. Of course, this also gives you time to relax and unwind before your own bedtime â though keep in mind that they may wake at least 1-3 times during the night.\nItâs still important to look for your babyâs sleep cues at this stage, too (and plenty of ups and downs are to be expected), but you can help them settle into a more regular bedtime schedule by creating a consistent, sleep-associated nightly cycle â for example, by focusing on the following:\n\n\nCreating a calming pre-sleep routine. Activities like a warm bath, a gentle massage, or a lullaby can help your baby feel calm and ready for sleep.\n\n\nReducing stimulation. Minimize active play or loud noises before bedtime, which will help them transition from wakefulness to sleep.\n\n\nDimming the lights. Turn the lights down in their room (or switch from a main light to a bedside one) to signal to your baby that itâs time for bed.\n\n\nEncouraging self-settling. Place your baby in the crib while theyâre drowsy but still awake, helping them learn how to fall asleep independently.\n\n\nMaintaining a consistent sleep environment. Make sure your babyâs sleep
8203space is quiet, dark, and at a comfortable temperature. White noise can also be helpful for soothing.\n\n\n6-12 months\nBy 6 months, your babyâs internal clock will be well established, meaning their bodies are well-versed in the difference between day and night and theyâll likely be ready for a more consistent nighttime routine.\nItâs also normal at this stage for them to need fewer daytime naps (you may find that 2-3 are more than enough) and therefore sleep for longer stretches at night â for the luckiest parents, this is where the idea of their baby âsleeping through the nightâ may even evolve from fantasy to reality.\nBecause of this, you may find it easier to establish a set bedtime from around six months onwards. 6.30-8.30pm is still a good window to aim for, but your routine should reflect what works best for your baby â and for you.\nOf course, milestones such as teething can temporarily impact their normal sleep schedule (usually for up to 7 days) but even so itâs important to try to keep to as consistent a routine as possible while accepting there may be ups and downs.\n1-2 years\nBy the time they reach a year old, your baby should be down to just a couple of naps a day, and may even transition to a single nap anywhere between 10-18 months. As a result, their nighttime routine will likely be far more consistent, and (sleep disruptions notwithstanding) they should regularly be sleeping through the night.\nThis also means their bedtime should be more set in stone, and because theyâre less dependent on daytime naps you can usually start to push their bedtime back slightly â 7pm to 8.30pm might be reasonable from a year onwards, but again this depends on their normal nap windows, wake-up times, and your own schedule.\nIf theyâre resistant to bedtime (which is possible, particularly during periods of sleep regression), this is where a calming and consistent pre-sleep routine is essential. Make sure their sleep environment is conducive to a peaceful slumber, and try to maintain a regular wind-down sequence in the hour or so before bedtime.\n2+ years\nAs your toddler gets older, theyâll naturally require less sleep overall. Theyâll still need more shuteye than the average adult, but you may decide to gradually transition them to a later bedtime (8pm or later, for instance), particularly as theyâre likely to take just one nap during the day (or possibly none at all) and may sleep in for longer in the morning.\nIf theyâre still napping at least once daily but youâre keen to wean them off naps altogether, you might consider (at least temporarily) bringing their bedtime forward slightly, allowing them to sleep longer at night so they feel less tired and more alert throughout the day. Again, donât be afraid to experiment with what works for them and for you.\nA (rough) bedtime guide by age\nItâs important to point out that the guidance below is very general. Each baby has their own sleep needs and develops at their own pace â thereâs not necessarily a ârightâ bedtime for your baby, and flexibility and adaptability are often key.\n\n\n\n\nAge\n\n\nAverage sleep required (over a 24-hour period)\n\n\nAverage nighttime sleep\n\n\nâIdealâ bedtime\n\n\nBedtime tips\n\n\n\n\n0-3 months\n\n\n14-18 hours\n\n\n8-12 hours (plus naps)\n\n\nNo fixed time\n\n\nDonât fixate on babyâs bedtime; look for their sleep cues instead.\n\n\n\n\n3-6 months\n\n\n12-16 hours\n\n\n8-10 hours (plus naps)\n\n\n6.30-8.30pm\n\n\nStart to establish a consistent bedtime routine, but continue to watch for sleep cues.\n\n\n\n\n6-12 months\n\n\n12-14 hours\n\n\n8-10 hours (plus naps)\n\n\n6.30-8.30pm\n\n\nFocus on maintaining consistency, but be aware that sleep disruptions can occur.\n\n\n\n\n1-2 years\n\n\n11-14 hours\n\n\n11-12 hours (plus one nap)\n\n\n7-8.30pm\n\n\nTry to minimize nighttime activities.

Limit screen time before bed.\n\n\n\n\nSo, when should my baby go to bed?\nWhen theyâre newborn, a âsetâ bedtime is pretty unrealistic since thereâs very little difference between your babyâs daytime and nighttime sleeping patterns. Therefore, in the earliest months, itâs more important to re
8203cognize your babyâs sleep cues (yawning, eye rubbing, and so on) rather than trying to put them down at a specific time each evening.\nFrom around three months onwards, you can usually start to establish a more consistent nighttime routine, as they should napping less during the day and sleeping longer at night. A bedtime somewhere between 6pm and 8pm is generally considered appropriate for most babies and toddlers, but itâs all about finding the right balance for you and your baby.\nThe âbestâ bedtime for your baby can depend on a number of factors, such as their daytime nap schedule and typical morning routine. If they arenât overly nap-dependent, for example, you might consider an earlier bedtime (say 6-7pm). If they like a lie-in (who doesnât?) or they take lots of naps during the day, a slightly later bedtime (like 7-8pm) might be right for them.\nYou should also consider how much sleep they typically need â along with their usual wake-up time â and work backwards from there. But donât be afraid to use your routine as a marker, too â if an earlier wake-up time works for you, try setting their bedtime a little earlier to ensure theyâre getting enough sleep without disrupting your own busy schedule.\nLike we said, the sweet spot is establishing a bedtime routine that works for you and your baby.\nWondering when to put your little one to bed at night? As with many things baby-related, it depends. You can pretty much forget about a set bedtime for the first 2-3 months, while even as they develop more ânormalâ sleep patterns their ideal bedtime is dependent on factors such as their nap schedules and usual wake-up times.\nThe most important things to remember? Pay attention to your babyâs sleep cues (particularly during the newborn stage), consider how much sleep they need overall, track how often they nap, and keep in mind when they tend to rouse in the morning. Equally important is creating a consistent pre-bedtime routine that signals to your baby that itâs time to visit the land of nod.

Dimensions vary by manufacturer, but generally, most bassinets are around 30in (75cm) long and 18in (45cm) wide. Cribs, on the other hand, are a little larger, typically sizing up at around 53in (135cm) long and 30in (75cm) wide. \nBassinets are designed with newborns in mind. Theyâre usually supported by freestanding legs, but may also have a wheeled or rocking base. Some strollers may include a removable bassinet â super handy when you and your little one have a lunch date planned! Some bassinets can even be attached to other surfaces, such as the detachable bassinets found on playpens.\nCribs are a more permanent piece of furniture, designed to support your child for several years, right through to toddlerhood. Cribs can be used from birth, but some babies may prefer sleeping in a smaller space â though this will vary from one tot to the next! Unlike bassinets, cribs arenât considered âportableâ, but the payoff is their longevity â most babies will get 2-3 years of use out of a crib.\nPut simply, a bassinet is designed for the first 3-6 months of life, while a traditional crib can be used from birth, usually right through to 2-3 years of age â though this will often be different for each baby or toddler.\nPros and cons of a bassinet\nA snug, cozy cocoon, the bassinetâs smaller frame makes it ideal for newborns and younger babies. Bassinets are usually used during the first few months of life, up to when the baby starts rolling over or pushing up on hands and knees.\nBassinet pros\n\n\nPortability: Bassinets are lightweight and easy to move around, allowing you to keep your baby close, whether itâs for daytime naps or nighttime sleeping.\n\n\nSpace-saving: If youâre working with a smaller space, a bassinet fits nicely in a bedroom, leaving plenty of room for everything else.\n\n\nConvenience for night feeds: Bassinets are perfect if youâd prefer to sleep in the same room as your baby. Theyâre usually small enough to fit beside your bed, making those nighttime feedings or check-ins much more manageable.\n\n\nIdeal for newborns: The snug design of a bassinet helps your newborn baby feel secure, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping environment in the early weeks after birth.\n\n\nCrib transitioning: Starting your little one off in a bassinet may make the transition to a crib easier.\n\n\nBassinet cons\n\n\nLimited lifespan: Babies grow quickly, and most will outgrow a bassinet within 4-6 months, meaning youâll need to transition to a crib sooner rather than later.\n\n\nWeight limits: Most bassinets have a weight capacity of 15-20 pounds, so larger babies may outgrow them even earlier.\n\n\nLess versatile: Bassinets donât offer the longevity or multi-functionality that cribs often provide.\n\n\nHow long should a baby sleep in a bassinet?\nMost babies can sleep in a bassinet until they reach a specific weight limit (typically around 15-20 pounds) or until they start showing signs of greater mobility â like rolling over or pushing up on their hands and knees. For most parents, this window is around 4 to 6 months.\nOnce your baby starts becoming more mobile, itâs time to transition to a crib. While bassinets are wonderful for keeping your baby close, their smaller size and lower walls make them less suitable for older infants who are starting to explore their ability to move
8226!\nPros and cons of a crib\nCribs are an ideal long-term slumber spot for your little one. Typically crafted from sturdy materials like wood or metal, what they sacrifice in portability, they make up for with longevity and comfort.\nCrib pros\n\n\nLongevity: A crib is a long-term investment. It can be used from the newborn stage through toddlerhood and even beyond if you opt for a convertible crib that can transform into a toddler bed.\n\n\nSpaciousness: Cribs offer plenty of room for your baby to grow, stretch out, and move around comfortably as they become more active.\n\n\nSturdiness and safety: Cribs are built to be solid and secure, meeting strict safety standards. Theyâre designed to withstand years of use, making them a safe choice for older, more mobile babies.\n\n\nCost-effective over time: While the upfront cost may be higher, cribs can last for years (particularly in the case of convertible cribs), making them a more cost-effective option in the long run.\n\n\nCrib cons\n\n\nTakes up more space: Cribs are larger and more permanent, making them less ideal if youâre short on space or want the flexibility of moving your babyâs sleeping area around the house.\n\n\nLess convenient for night feeds: If you prefer having your baby close by during the night, a crib might be less convenient unless you have space for it in your bedroom.\n\n\nNot portable: Cribs are heavy and meant to stay in one place, making them a less flexible option if you need to move the babyâs sleep area frequently.\n\n\nShould I choose a bassinet or a crib for my newborn?\nBassinets are designed specifically for newborns â theyâre small, portable, and cheaper than cribs, but this doesnât necessarily make them the best option for all parents. During the first 6 months of life, a bassinet offers the ultimate convenience as theyâre great for night feeds, an ideal companion for day trips, and have a relatively small footprint, making them well-suited to smaller living spaces.\nSooner or later though, your little one wonât be so little anymore, and youâll need to upgrade to a crib. If youâre running on a tight budget, it might be better to suffer the inevitable expense of a crib up front, rather than kicking the can down the road, so to speak.\nUltimately, whether you should choose a bassinet or a crib depends on your priorities. If convenience, portability, and space-saving are concerns in the early months, a bassinet is a good option. However, if youâre looking to make a one-time investment and avoid future costs, starting with a crib may be the more economical choice in the long run.\nWhich is safer for my baby â a crib or a bassinet?\nAs long as they meet modern safety standards, either a crib or a bassinet is fine. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies sleep on a firm, flat surface with no extra bedding, pillows, or toys (such as stuffed animals) â and both a crib and a bassinet can provide this, but there are a few factors to keep in mind when deciding between the two:\nBassinets are great for newborns because theyâre designed with the earliest months of parenthood in mind. Theyâre cozy, secure, and convenient, boasting superior portability. However, theyâre only suitable for the first 3-6 months of life due to weight limits. And because of their lower sides, theyâre also unsuitable for little ones who are getting more adventurous and can push up on their hands or roll over.\nCribs, by contrast, are larger, more stable, and designed to serve your tot until theyâre toddling, with higher walls and more robust construction. Cribs also have strict safety standards set by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), ensuring things like proper slat spacing, secure mattress support, and banning of unsafe features like drop-down sides.\nItâs also worth noting that the AAP recommends against co-sleepers, or any other kind of device that attaches to the parentâs bed.\nShould I buy a used crib or bassinet?\nBuying second-hand baby gear can be tempting, especially when you consider how quickly little ones outgrow things like cribs and bassinets. And yes, it can save you quite a bit of money â but there are a few things youâll want to keep in mind before going the pre-loved route.\nFirst and foremost, safety standards evolve. Traditional cribs and bassinets manufactured years ago might not meet the latest safety guidelines. For instance, cribs with drop-down sides were common at one point, but these have been banned in the US since 2011 due to safety concerns.\nSo, if youâre thinking about buying used, make sure it complies with current safety standards. Check the manufacturing date (most cribs have a label on the frame) and ensure the model hasnât been recalled.\nNext up: the mattress. Whether you go for a crib or bassinet, youâll need a firm, snug-fitting mattress. Over time, mattresses can lose their shape or become less firm, which can create unsafe gaps between the mattress and the sides of the crib or bassinet. If youâre buying second-hand, itâs best to invest in a new mattress to ensure itâs firm and in to
8226p condition.\nAnd finally, keep an eye out for wear and tear. While some wear is natural, youâll want to inspect the item closely for cracks, splinters, or loose mechanisms. Anything that compromises the stability of the crib or bassinet is a no-go.\nIn short: yes, you can buy both a bassinet and a crib used â but proceed with caution. After all, your babyâs sleep (and your peace of mind) is well worth it.\nWhether youâre leaning toward a bassinet for those early room-sharing months or thinking long-term with a crib, the choice comes down to what works best for your familyâs needs, space, and budget. Both cribs and bassinets come with their own set of pros and cons, but whichever one you choose, your baby will have a safe and comfy spot to catch all those Zzzs â and letâs face it, is there anything more precious than gazing down at your baby sleeping soundly? \nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8227 "datePublished": "2025-01-08 04:01:43 -0800", 8228 "dateModified": "2025-01-08 04:01:43 -0800", 8229 "author": { 8230 "@type": "Person", 8231 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/bassinet-vs-crib/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8232 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/bassinet-vs-crib/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8233 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8234 "image": { 8235 "@type": "ImageObject", 8236 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-587876546_9d23d6e8-f472-43bf-9253-a3837d55ec6b.jpg?v=1752192315", 8237 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-587876546_9d23d6e8-f472-43bf-9253-a3837d55ec6b.jpg?v=1752192315" 8238 }, 8239 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/bassinet-vs-crib", 8240 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8241 } 8242 , 8243{ 8244 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8245 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sleep-regression-timeline", 8246 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sleep-regression-timeline", 8247 "headline":"Baby Sleep Regression Timeline: When Does Sleep Regression Occur?", 8248 "name":"Baby Sleep Regression Timeline: When Does Sleep Regression Occur?", 8249 "description":"What is sleep regression?\nSleep regression describes the period of time, which usually begins around 3-4 months, when a babyâs sleep architecture changes and their sleep cycles mature to become more âadult-likeâ. During this transition, your babyâs sleep pattern may temporarily become disrupted and more erratic. For example, your baby might:\n\n\nStruggle to get to sleep.\n\n\nWake frequently in the night, seemingly at random.\n\n\nTake shorter naps, or skip naps altogether.\n\n\nBecome fussy during bedtime.\n\n\nFrustrating? Yes. Worrying? Perhaps. But just remember, while sleep regression signals a permanent change in your babyâs sleep behavior, the period of disruption is usually temporary. And however troublesome it may seem, this sleep âregressionâ is actually a positive sign that your baby is growing and developing.\nTruthfully, itâd be better to call this period a sleep progression, given the close link to physical, cognitive, and emotional development.\nWhen does sleep regression start?\nIf youâre a new parent, youâve likely been warned about the perils of the 4-month sleep regression. This is one of the most well-known and challenging (eek!) phases of your babyâs development, and typically occurs around 3-4 months of age, as your little one transitions from their newborn sleep cycle to a more âadult-likeâ snoozing pattern.\nDuring the 4-month sleep regression, your babyâs sleep patterns may be a little all over the place â which often translates to more 3AM wake-up calls and trouble settling them back down once theyâre awake. But itâs important to remember that this is actually an important developmental stage, and signals your baby establishing a more consistent sleep-wake cycle.\nSigns of the 4-month sleep regression:\n\n\nIncreased night wakings.\n\n\nCrying or fussiness around bedtime.\n\n\nShorter naps.\n\n\nDifficulty falling asleep.\n\n\nA reduction in overall sleep.\n\n\nWhat to do during the 4-month sleep regression:\n\n\nStick to a regular bedtime routine to help your baby recognise when itâs time to sleep.\n\n\nMake sure your babyâs room is quiet, dark, and set to a comfortable temperature.\n\n\nAvoid overstimulation before bedtime, and focus on calming activities like a bath or a story.\n\n\nEncourage self
8249-settling by putting your baby down when theyâre drowsy but still awake.\n\n\nBe mindful of overtiredness, as it can make it harder for your baby to sleep.\n\n\nBe patient â remember, it may take time for your baby to adjust to this developmental shift.\n\n\nHow long does the 4-month sleep regression last?\nThough it can vary widely from one tot to the next, sleep regression usually lasts between 2 and 6 weeks. The duration of your babyâs sleep regression can depend on several factors, including their age, general temperament, and any developmental milestones theyâre currently going through.\nNot all babies experience sleep regression in the same way, and believe it or not, a rare few (with some very lucky parents) skip the sleep regression phase altogether!\nWhen might other sleep disturbances occur?\n3 months of age\nWhile not all babies experience sleep regression this early on in life, itâs not uncommon for parents to notice changes in sleep at this age. During this time your little one may spend more time awake during the day and show signs of increased awareness of their surroundings.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nMore frequent night wakings.\n\n\nIncreased hunger.\n\n\nShorter naps or difficulty napping.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nContinue to follow a consistent sleep routine.\n\n\nOffer more frequent feedings if your baby seems hungry.\n\n\nBe patient as your baby adjusts to their growth spurt.\n\n\n6 months of age\nBy the time your baby reaches 6 months of age, theyâre probably getting up to all sorts â rolling over, sitting up, and maybe even eating solid food. But with all these new skills comes lots of excitement and frustration, and this can â you guessed it â cause all kinds of nighttime disturbances.\nThis is also typically when your babyâs primary teeth start to emerge (although this can occur earlier in some infants), with teething pain often disrupting your babyâs sleep around the 6-month stage and beyond â although some donât get their teeth until much later than this.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nWaking up more frequently at night, sometimes to practice new skills.\n\n\nMore active and restless sleep.\n\n\nIncreased crying or fussiness (often due to teething).\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nCreate a calm, quiet environment for sleep to help your baby wind down.\n\n\nGive your baby plenty of opportunities to practice new skills during the day.\n\n\nStay consistent with your sleep routine.\n\n\n8 months of age\nCoinciding with major milestones like crawling and pulling up to stand, this stage of your little oneâs sleep development can be pretty turbulent. Separation anxiety may occur during this age too, due to your baby developing something called object permanence â the understanding that objects and people still exist even when theyâre hidden or out of sight.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nSeparation anxiety causing difficulty at bedtime.\n\n\nIncreased mobility leading to restlessness in the crib.\n\n\nMore frequent wakings.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nReassure your baby with your presence but avoid creating new sleep associations (such as always rocking to sleep).\n\n\nStick to a consistent nap schedule, as overtiredness can worsen night wakings, but make sure the schedule is age appropriate.\n\n\nAllow for extra soothing and comfort if your baby is experiencing separation anxiety.\n\n\n12 months of age\nAt 12 months of age â or 1, if you like â milestones like walking or talking are bound to provide plenty of excitement for you and your little one. This is also a time when many parents start to transition their baby to a single-nap schedule, and these two factors have the potential to affect sleep.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nIncreased difficulty falling asleep.\n\n\nWaking up more often at night.\n\n\nResistance to naps or difficulty adjusting to a one-nap schedule.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nMaintain your babyâs usual bedtime routine.\n\n\nIf your baby is resisting naps, try to extend wake windows slightly without overt
8249iring them.\n\n\nBe patient as they adjust to new physical and cognitive skills.\n\n\n18 months of age\nAll of the excitement (and stress) brought on by your baby reaching the toddler stage can cause a variety of nighttime disturbances. A growing sense of independence, coupled with teething (your babyâs canine teeth often emerge between 16 and 22 months) and an increased likelihood of separation anxiety, can add an extra layer of challenge to their sleep routine.\nCommon disturbances include:\n\n\nIncreased tantrums or resistance at bedtime.\n\n\nWaking up more frequently at night.\n\n\nTeething discomfort affecting sleep.\n\n\nWhat to do to minimize disturbances:\n\n\nKeep a consistent routine but be flexible when needed to accommodate teething pain (this should only affect sleep for 3-7 days).\n\n\nOffer comfort, but try not to introduce new sleep crutches (e.g. letting them fall asleep in your arms every night).\n\n\nStay calm and consistent in your approach to sleep training.\n\n\nA word on healthy sleep habits\nAs much as weâd love it to be the case, thereâs no magic solution to sleep regression â but there are plenty of things you can do to minimize its effect.\nFor starters, try to stick to a bedtime routine. Babies thrive on routine, and by keeping a predictable pre-sleep ritual â think a warm bath and a classic lullaby or two â youâre creating signals that your little one will quickly begin to associate with sleep.\nA regular bedtime is important, too. If youâre able to, putting your baby to sleep at the same time every night will help get their body into a rhythm, making it much easier for them to drift off.\nTake it from us: blackout curtains are your little oneâs best friend. The darker you can make their room, the better. Thereâs also some evidence that white noise machines may help babies sleep faster, but if you do choose to use one, keep the volume to a sensible level!\nSelf-settling is important, too. Instead of dashing in to tend to them as soon as you hear that all-too-familiar wailing sound, give them a few minutes to settle on their own. This is a gradual process, of course, but by giving them a little space to figure things out on their own, youâre helping to develop their sense of independence, eventually leading to fewer late-night disturbances.\nAnd another helpful tip is to put your baby down drowsy but still awake. It teaches them to fall asleep on their own, rather than relying on you to doze off. If they wake up in the middle of the night (which is completely normal), they'll be more likely to settle themselves back to sleep without needing your help.\nToddler sleeping habits\nBabies are one thing, but toddlers can be another level of unruly when bedtime rolls around. Curiosity combined with endless energy and a penchant for pushing boundaries isnât exactly a recipe for bedtime success, but as with babies, the twilight troubles can be helped! Toddler sleep routines are notoriously tricky to tame, but it can be done.\nAs we mentioned earlier, consistency is your best friend here. Toddlers thrive on routine, so having a predictable bedtime ritual is essential. Whether it's reading their favorite book, snuggling up with a soft toy, or singing a familiar lullaby, sticking to the same steps every night helps solidify that the time for play is over, and now itâs time to get some Zzzs.\nItâs also important to be mindful of your toddlerâs energy levels leading up to bedtime. Avoid overly stimulating activities in the hour before bed â no running around or screen time. Instead, opt for calm, quiet activities like coloring or playing with blocks.\nCreating a soothing sleep environment is just as crucial for toddlers as it is for babies. Think dim lighting, cozy blankets, and a cool, quiet room. Some toddlers might even appreciate a nightlight if they're feeling a little wary of the dark.\nIf your toddler resists bedtime (as they often do), it can help to give them a bit of control. Offering them simple choices like which pajamas to wear or which book to read allows them to feel empowered and more cooperative when itâs time to settle down. Keep bedtime positive, but stay firm â theyâll quickly learn that while bedtime might not be negotiable, it doesnât have to be a battle either.\nSleep regression is an unavoidable reality for many parents, but itâs important to remember two things: itâs a perfectly natural part of your babyâs development, and it wonât last forever, but it is a permanent change in how your baby sleeps. This might not bring comfort when your little one is waking for the third time during the night, but by understanding sleep regression and what it typically involves, you can help alleviate your babyâs (and your) sleep difficulties. \nSleep regression FAQs\nDo sleep regressions happen to all babies?\nMost babies experience a sleep regression at around the 4-month stage. Sleep regression typically happens because of developmental milestones, but each baby is unique â some may experience a more obvious regression than others, while some may show no signs of sleep regression at all.\nIs there anything I shouldn't do during babyâs sleep regression?\nDuring your babyâs sleep regression, itâs important not to introduce bad habits that could be hard to break later. Avoid completely changing your childâs sleep routine or relying too heavily on methods like feeding or rocking your baby to sleep every time they wake.\nStick to your usual bedtime routines, as this reinforces healthy sleep habits. Also, try to maintain consistency with their sleep environment â a dar
8249k, quiet, and calm space helps your baby associate their crib or bassinet with sleep.\nShould I let my baby âcry it outâ during sleep regression?\nThe âcry it outâ method is a personal choice, and some parents find it effective. However, when sleep regression occurs, your baby might need a little more comfort than usual, given all the developmental changes theyâre undergoing. Instead of letting them cry for long periods, consider a gentler approach where you check in after short intervals.\nWhat is the 3-minute rule?\nThe 3-minute rule is a strategy used in sleep training where you allow your baby to fuss for 3 minutes before going in to soothe them. This can help teach them to self-settle while still offering reassurance. The goal is to gradually increase the time between check-ins, helping them learn to fall asleep on their own.\n \nReviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in December 2024.", 8250 "datePublished": "2025-01-08 03:10:51 -0800", 8251 "dateModified": "2025-01-08 03:10:51 -0800", 8252 "author": { 8253 "@type": "Person", 8254 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sleep-regression-timeline/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8255 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sleep-regression-timeline/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8256 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8257 "image": { 8258 "@type": "ImageObject", 8259 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1637543461_31f29b65-1939-4b8d-809a-5d35464b6ff5.jpg?v=1752191986", 8260 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1637543461_31f29b65-1939-4b8d-809a-5d35464b6ff5.jpg?v=1752191986" 8261 }, 8262 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/sleep-regression-timeline", 8263 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8264 } 8265 , 8266{ 8267 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8268 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep-in-bassinet", 8269 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep-in-bassinet", 8270 "headline":"How to Get Your Baby to Sleep in a Bassinet for the First Time", 8271 "name":"How to Get Your Baby to Sleep in a Bassinet for the First Time", 8272 "description":"Is a bassinet the best choice for my baby?\nIf bedtime is becoming a battle, itâs completely understandable to question whether the bassinet life is right for you and your baby, but your little one will eventually learn to love it. In the early months, itâs common for babies to resist change, but with time and patience they often settle into a routine, and their bassinet will become a safe and familiar space.\nAccording to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies up to 12 months should sleep on their backs on a firm, flat surface, and a bassinet provides just that. Whatâs more, due to its compact size and mobility, it allows you to keep your baby close, which can be especially helpful during nighttime feedings or when you need to change a wet or dirty diaper.\nWhatâs the difference between a bassinet and a crib?\nGood question! Put simply, cribs are larger and intended for long-term use. Bassinets are geared towards the first few months of your babyâs life. Theyâre compact, and portable â ideal when your little one is, well, still on the smaller side, and may benefit from being closer to you.\nGenerally, youâll want to transition your baby from the bassinet to a crib by around the 3-6 month mark.\nWhat about smart bassinets?\nUsed appropriately, tech can be a huge help when it comes to parenting â especially during those early years â and as a female-founded company obsessed with female-first tech, this is something weâre rather passionate about.\nSmart bassinets are just like regular bassinets, but come equipped with one very special feature â theyâre able to gently rock, mimicking the soothing motions youâd usually have to perform yourself.\nSome models may also incorporate in-built speakers and adjustable lighting, but itâs essential to check they fully comply with safe sleep recommendations â for example, any white noise should be at least 2 meters away from your babyâs head, and motion settings or in-built soothing functions should be used cautiously, as over-reliance on automated motion may interfere with independent sleep development.\nGetting your baby to sleep in a bassinet for the first time\nSo youâve picked out the perfect baby bassinet, unpacked and constructed
8272it, and now youâve just got to put it to good use. Hereâs how to help your baby adapt to their new sleeping environment and ensure theyâre happy sleeping in a bassinet for the next few months to come.\nCheck your bassinet thoroughly\nBefore placing your tot down into the bassinet, make sure everything is set up correctly. Double-check that the mattress is firm and fits snugly without any gaps. Make sure the bassinet is placed on a flat surface, and that itâs free from any potential hazards such as loose bedding or toys.\nItâs also worth looking into the bassinetâs weight limit, to ensure itâs safe for your babyâs size.\nEstablish a consistent routine\nBabies thrive on routine. Having a bedtime ritual provides a sense of security and helps signal that itâs time to wind down, so even if things are rough in the beginning itâs important to persist with sticking to a routine as best you can â the schedule can be flexible, but try to make sure you do the same things in the same order each night.\nRelaxing, calming rituals like a warm bath or gentle cuddle are all ideal lead-ins to a lie-down, but remember: consistency is key. Sometimes change is unavoidable, but where possible, try to keep your totâs twilight timings and pre-sleep activities as predictable as you can. This way, theyâll understand that sleep is coming.\nTry swaddling\nSwaddling is a super useful (and completely adorable) way to help your baby feel more secure in their new sleeping space. There is a right way to do it though, so be sure to follow these approved steps:\n\n\nLay the swaddle blanket flat on a safe, clean surface in a diamond shape. Fold down the top corner to create a straight edge at the top.\n\n\nGently place your baby on their back in the center of the blanket with their shoulders aligned with the top edge (folded part).\n\n\nTake the left side of the blanket and wrap it snugly across your babyâs body, tucking it under their back on the right side. Make sure the blanket is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two to three fingers between the swaddle and the babyâs chest.\n\n\nFold the bottom corner of the blanket up over your babyâs feet and tuck it under the babyâs back. This keeps the babyâs legs in a slightly flexed position.\n\n\nTake the right side of the blanket and wrap it across your babyâs body, tucking it under the left side. Ensure that the swaddle is snug but allows for movement, especially around the babyâs hips.\n\n\nEnsure that the swaddle is not too tight around the babyâs chest or hips. They should be able to move their hips and legs slightly â this prevents hip dysplasia. Check that the babyâs face is not covered and that they can breathe comfortably.\n\n\nGently place your swaddled baby on their back in the bassinet. Ensure that the bassinetâs mattress is firm and free of loose bedding or toys.\n\n\nWhat makes swaddling so great? The startle reflex (or Moro reflex) often causes babies to react like an overly sensitive car alarm when being laid down to sleep â but swaddling has been shown to prevent this. Itâs important to swaddle safely though, so remember:\n\n\nAlways place your baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).\n\n\nUse a firm, flat mattress in the bassinet and avoid loose bedding.\n\n\nKeep the swaddle snug but not too tight to allow for natural movement and to ensure comfort.\n\n\nAvoid overheating by dressing your baby in light layers and checking that the room is at a comfortable temperature.\n\n\n\n\nIf your baby shows any signs of rolling, you need to stop swaddling immediately for safety reasons â and you should stop altogether by 16 weeks.\n\n\nDonât give up!\nAdjusting to a new sleep space can take time, and itâs completely normal for the process to involve some trial and error.\nDonât be discouraged if your baby doesnât immediately take to the bassinet. Persistence is key â keep trying, and be patient with both yourself and your baby. With consistency and a little creativity, youâll find what works best for you both.\nRemember, every baby adjusts at their own pace, and what feels like a struggle now will likely become a comfortable routine in time.\nWhere should I put the bassinet?\nThe safest place for a bassinet is in your babyâs room or your own bedroom, ideally right next to your bed. This way, you can keep an eye on them during the night, making feeding and diaper changes easier, while following baby sleep safety guidelines. Just ensure the safe sleep space is free of loose bedding, pillows, or toys.\nCan my baby sleep in a bassinet if theyâre rolling over?\nOnce your newborn baby starts rolling over, itâs best to move them to a crib, as bassinets are typically not designed to accommodate active movers. Rolling over in a smaller space can increase the risk of them becoming stuck in an awkward position â or in extreme cases, lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome â so transitioning to a crib ensures your baby sleeps in a safer, more spacious environment designed for movement.\nWhy wonât my newborn baby sleep in a bassinet?\nIf your babyâs struggling to sleep in their bassinet, there could be several reasons for this. Unfortunately, babies arenât the most fluent at communicating their needs (that comes a little later!), but there may be a number of things contributing to their discomfort.\nTheyâre gassy\nGas can be surprisingly painful for babies, especially as their digestive systems are still developing. If your baby seems fussy and uncomfortable after feeding, or if they squirm and grunt when lying down, trapped gas might be the issue.\nWhat can help: Try burping your baby thoroughly after feeding, even if they fall asleep. You can also give gentle tummy massages or âbicycleâ their legs to help move the gas through their system. If the problem persists, itâs worth discussing it with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, while an assessment with a feeding expert might be needed to ensure their latch and positioning on the bottle or breast is optimal.\nThey canât fall asleep because theyâre overtired (yes, really!)\nWhile it might sound counterintuitive, an overtired baby will often have a harder time falling asleep. When they stay awake too long, babiesâ bodies produce cortisol (a stress hormone) to keep them alert, which makes winding down for sleep more difficult.\nWhat can help: Pay close attention to your babyâs sleep cues, such as yawning, rubbing their eyes, or becoming fussy. Once you spot these signals, itâs time to start your bedtime routine. Sometimes, an earlier bedtime or more frequent naps during the day can help prevent overtiredness and make it easier for them to drift off in their bassinet.\nThey want to be held\nBabies are naturally wired to seek comfort and closeness, especially in the early months. If your baby falls asleep easily in your arms but wakes up when placed in the bassinet, they might be craving that physical connection.\nWhat can help: One way to ease the transition is to offer something familiar in the bassinet, like a soft piece of clothing youâve worn, so they can smell your scent â but make sure you remove this once theyâre asleep to adhere to safer sleep guid
8272ance. You might also try holding your baby close for a few minutes after laying them down to help them feel secure.\nJust be mindful to avoid creating a habit of only sleeping in your arms, as it could make transitioning to independent sleep even more challenging in the long run. Itâs good to use naps as practice for settling themselves to sleep, but give them time to adjust and donât put too much pressure on yourself.\nTheyâve got reflux\nReflux (or gastroesophageal reflux) is common in babies and can make lying flat uncomfortable, as stomach contents can move back up the esophagus. If your baby spits up frequently, arches their back, or seems uncomfortable after feeding, reflux could be contributing to their bassinet sleep struggles.\nWhat can help: Keeping your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding can help to reduce reflux. Your baby may also benefit from having some of their naps in a sling or baby carrier so they can stay upright. If the reflux seems severe, consult your pediatrician for advice on managing it (an assessment from a feeding expert could be useful too).\nHow to get baby to sleep in bassinet: Expert tips\nSo youâve introduced your little one to the bassinet, and things are going more or less according to plan âjoys! Here are a few extra tips to keep you and your baby sleeping through the night:\nFind your babyâs wake windows\nRemember how we mentioned that overtiredness can lead to fussiness and irritability in your baby? Well, this overtiredness is usually caused by overstretching their wake window â the amount of time they spend awake between naps.\nItâs important to note that wake windows are not evidence-based or set in stone â some babies may stay awake for more or less time than the guidelines advise â but they can be a useful guide to tracking your babyâs normal sleep patterns.\nFor newborns, wake windows are often very short, but as they get older, these windows gradually lengthen. Itâs important to observe your baby and see what works for them, but establishing their âidealâ wake windows can be beneficial once bedtime rolls around. For more information, check out our dedicated guide to wake windows by age.\nGet the temperature just right\nJust like us adults, our little ones sleep better in a room thatâs not too hot or too cold, but itâs not just about comfort â overheating can increase the risk of SIDS.\nAim to keep the room at a comfortable 68-72°F (20-22°C). Dress your baby in light layers, and if you're using a swaddle, make sure it's breathable and appropriate for the room temperature. A good rule of thumb: your baby should feel warm, but not sweaty, when you check the back of their neck or chest.\nUse the 5 Sâs\nIf you havenât already come across Dr. Harvey Karpâs famous â5 Sâsâ method for soothing babies, let us introduce you. These techniques mimic the calming sensations of the womb and can help your baby settle into their bassinet and stay asleep longer:\n\n\nSwaddle: Wrapping your baby snugly helps recreate the security they felt in the womb, and prevents the startle reflex from waking them up.\n\n\nSide or stomach position: Hold your baby on their side or stomach while soothing them (but always place them on their back to sleep once theyâre calm!).\n\n\nShush: A constant shushing sound mimics the sounds of the womb and can be incredibly calming â if youâre using a white noise machine, itâs important to ensure itâs no louder than 50 decibels and at least 2 meters away from your baby.\n\n\nSwing: Gentle, rhythmic motion, like rocking or swaying, can help lull your baby to sleep. If your bassinet has a rocking feature, even better.\n\n\nSuck: Offering a pacifier or allowing your baby to suck on their thumb can be very soothing and can help them self-settle if they wake in the night â though not all babies will accept a pacifier or suck their thumb.\n\n\nJust as introducing your baby to anything unfamiliar can be a challenge, encouraging them to sleep in a brand new bassinet for the first time can take a little perseverance. If they donât settle into their new sleeping arrangement straight away, remember that by establishing a consistent sleep routine, swaddling them before bed, and above all staying persistent, theyâll soon be sleeping soundly in their bassinet.", 8273 "datePublished": "2025-01-08 03:06:16 -0800", 8274 "dateModified": "2025-01-08 03:06:16 -0800", 8275 "author": { 8276 "@type": "Person", 8277 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep-in-bassinet/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8278 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-baby-to-sleep-in-bassinet/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8279 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8280 "image": { 8281 "@type": "ImageObject", 8282 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1810885932_a48efc9e-6231-4bfa-a5b5-5fb74f00af94.jpg?v=1752076730", 8283 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1810885932_a48efc9e-6231-4bfa-a5b5-5fb74f00af94.jpg?v=1752076730"

And, as we all know, temperature has a huge role to play in the quality of our sleep â from how easy it is to drift off, to the likelihood of waking up during the night.\nHowever, babies canât regulate their body temperature as easily as adults, so theyâre much more vulnerable to temperature-related sleep disturbances.\nA baby whoâs too chilly or too warm may become restless, agitated, and uncomfortable, making it much harder for them to settle down. In more extreme cases, overheating may even raise the likelihood of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).\nYour little one is actually more sensitive to temperature once they enter deep sleep, so itâs important to keep close tabs on how warm (or cold) their environment is while they catch some much-needed Zs.\nWhatâs the ideal room temperature for my baby?\nThe general guidelines state that itâs best to keep your babyâs room between 68 and 72°F (20-22°C). This provides the perfect level of warmth and coziness without any risk of overheating.\nOf course, if your baby prefers it a little warmer or cooler than this, donât feel obligated to keep the room within this range. The ultimate goal is to create an environment as conducive to a good nightâs sleep as possible. Make small adjustments as you go, and figure out what works best for your little one.\nMeasuring the temperature of your little oneâs room (or your own if theyâre sleeping in a bedside crib) is super simple. Digital room thermometers can be found online for as little as $5-10, and most modern baby monitors come with a built-in thermometer.\nHow to tell if your baby is too hot or too cold\nDue to their inability to communicate â that stage will come soon enough, but letâs worry about the here and now â youâll need to keep an eye out for any signs that your baby might be too hot or cold. If you notice any of the cues listed below, itâs time to make some temperature adjustments.\nRather than simply checking your babyâs hands or feet, feel their chest or the back of their neck. These areas can give you a better sense of your babyâs body temperature. Listen to their breathing, too â rapid breathing is a solid indicator that itâs time to cool them down.\nSigns your baby is too hot:\n\n\nSweaty skin or hair. If you notice that your babyâs skin feels damp or sweaty, especially on their back or neck, they might be getting too warm.\n\n\nFlushed cheeks. Warm, red cheeks can be a clue that your baby is overheated.\n\n\nRestlessness. An overheated baby may become fussy or have trouble settling down for sleep.\n\n\nRapid breathing. Overheating can sometimes cause faster breathing, so if you notice this, it might be time to cool things down.\n\n\nIf your baby is too hot, try removing some of their clothing layers. A fan might help too, but donât point it in their direction, as this might cause the opposite problem and make them too chilly! Placing a cool washcloth on their skin for a moment or too may also help, but if it doesnât, it may be better to move them to a different room entirely until their bedroom temperature falls within the recommended range.\nSigns your baby is too cold:\n\n\nCool hands and feet. While cold hands and feet arenât always a reliable indicator (they can feel cold even when the rest of their body is warm), if theyâre cold to the touch, it might be too chilly.\n\n\nShivering. Although not common, shivering can be a sign that your baby is too cold and needs warming up.\n\n\nLethargy or fussiness. If your little one is unusually lethargic or fussy, it might be because theyâre trying to conserve their warmth.\n\n\nIf your baby is too cold, add an extra layer of clothing. If they havenât learned how to roll over yet, itâs also safe to swaddle them in a snuggly single blanket (just be sure to follow the AAPâs recommended swaddling technique).\nHow to create a safe sleep environment for your baby\nOnce youâve got the temperature in that perfect sweet spot (between 68-72°F), the next step is making sure your babyâs environment is primed for slumber time. A few simple adju
8295stments can make a world of difference, so if youâre struggling to get your baby to drift off, try out some of the tips below:\nHow to dress your baby for bedtime\nIn warmer months, light, breathable fabrics like cotton are your babyâs best friend. A simple onesie or light pajamas paired with a lightweight sleep sack (1 Tog or below is ideal) will keep your tot cool and comfortable.\nIn the colder seasons, layer them up with a snug, long-sleeved onesie, and a slightly warmer sleep sack â between 1-2.5 Tog. Unless swaddling, do not use a blanket â this can pose a significant risk to your baby if theyâre below 12 months of age. You also shouldnât cover a swaddled baby with a second blanket as this can cause overheating.\nIs it safe to use a fan, heater, or humidifier in my babyâs room?\nA fan can be a great tool for keeping your baby cool on warmer evenings. Some studies even suggest that increasing air circulation can reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 72%. Just make sure that the fan isnât blowing directly on your baby, and that itâs at a safe distance from their crib or bassinet. Aim for a gentle breeze, rather than an icy gale!\nSpace heaters are useful in cooler rooms, but again, make sure itâs positioned well away from your babyâs sleeping spot, and never aim it directly at them. Monitor the temperature closely, too â weâd only recommend this option if youâve got a digital thermometer to hand.\nHumidifiers can come in handy during dry seasons, where low humidity can lead to congestion or dry skin. A humidity level of 30-50% is ideal for your tot, and will promote easier breathing.\nDo I need a thermometer for my babyâs room?\nThereâs no rule saying you must use a thermometer to measure your babyâs room temperature, but we highly recommend grabbing one.\nWidely available and affordable, thereâs little reason not to pick one up â theyâre well worth the investment for the peace of mind of knowing your babyâs room temperature is optimal. This said, if youâve got a baby monitor, you might not even need to spend any more money, as most modern units come pre-fitted with a digital thermometer.\nIs there a link between room temperature and sudden infant death syndrome?\nYes, A 2018 study into SIDS found a connection between increased temperatures and a raised likelihood of SIDS mortality. While we still donât fully understand all the causes of SIDS, what we do know is that keeping your babyâs sleep environment at the right temperature â between 68-72°F (20-22°C) â
8295can help reduce the risk.\nIf itâs summer and the room gets a little hotter, or in winter when the house might be colder, youâll want to adjust what theyâre wearing or how youâre warming the room â but always be mindful of avoiding overheating.\nIf youâve ever tried to sleep in a room thatâs either swelteringly hot or icy cold, youâll know how hard it can be to drift off and avoid tossing and turning through the night. Itâs no different for your little one, which means setting the right ambient temperature is really important.\nThe best room temperature is generally between 68-72°F, but itâs important to pay attention to your babyâs cues to determine if theyâre too hot, too cold, or in the words of Goldilocks, theyâre âjuuust rightâ.\nSleep temperature FAQs\nIs 24 degrees OK for a babyâs room?\nA room temperature of 24°C (75°F) is on the warmer side for a babyâs room. While itâs a bit higher than the ideal temperature of 68-72°F (20-22°C), you can adjust by dressing them in lighter layers and using breathable fabrics to help your baby sleep safely.\nWhat age can a baby regulate their own body temperature?\nBabies typically start to better regulate their own babyâs temperature around 12-18 months. However, before this, itâs important to manage the babyâs room temperature to ensure they arenât getting too hot or too cold during sleep.\nWhatâs the best way to monitor my babyâs room temperature?\nUsing a room thermometer or a baby monitor with a built-in sensor allows you to easily keep track of your babyâs room temperature, ensuring it stays within the ideal temperature range.\nWhat is the safest way to keep my baby warm without overheating?\nThe key to a safe sleep environment is using a sleep sack or wearable blanket instead of loose bedding. This helps regulate your babyâs temperature while preventing overheating.\nWhat should I avoid putting in my babyâs crib?\nTo maintain a safe sleep environment, keep your babyâs crib free of pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. Stick to a fitted sheet and appropriate sleepwear â breathable cotton is best.\nReviewed by Rosey Davidson, Sleep Consultant, founder \u0026amp; CEO, in November 2024.", 8296 "datePublished": "2025-01-08 03:00:43 -0800", 8297 "dateModified": "2025-01-08 03:00:43 -0800", 8298 "author": { 8299 "@type": "Person", 8300 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-room-temperature-guide/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8301 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-room-temperature-guide/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8302 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8303 "image": { 8304 "@type": "ImageObject", 8305 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1090396236_7cdb16d9-df36-44e8-842c-16a84e61bfb0.jpg?v=1752191065", 8306 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1090396236_7cdb16d9-df36-44e8-842c-16a84e61bfb0.jpg?v=1752191065" 8307 }, 8308 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-room-temperature-guide", 8309 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8310 } 8311 , 8312{ 8313 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8314 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-awake-vs-active-sleep", 8315 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-awake-vs-active-sleep", 8316 "headline":"Is My Baby Awake or in âActive Sleepâ? How to Tell the Difference", 8317 "name":"Is My Baby Awake or in âActive Sleepâ? How to Tell the Difference", 8318 "description":"What is active sleep?\nFor babies, active sleep is similar to what we refer to as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep in adults â characterized by continuous movement of the eyes under the lids, irregular breathing, increased brain activity, and often a slightly faster-than-normal heart rate.\nBut while adult REM sleep and baby active sleep share many similarities, thereâs one quite crucial difference: when adults enter REM sleep, their bodies usually stay quite still (save for the odd twitch here and there), while babies in active sleep are often very fidgety. Itâs common for them to twitch, wriggle, jerk, and even pull faces.\nBabies in active sleep can also be pretty vocal, so itâs not unusual for them to make grunting, whimpering, or crying sounds. Itâs this combination of sound and movement that can often mislead a parent into believing their little one is awake rather than
8318in the throes of active sleep.\nBut while it can be concerning at first to see your baby appearing restless, twitchy, or whimpering in their sleep, itâs a totally normal sleep stage for a newborn â and in fact, itâs an important part of their sleep cycle, since itâs thought to play a key role in their brainâs early development.\nWhat are the signs of active sleep in babies?\nWhen your baby is in active sleep, theyâre not in a deep, restful state but a lighter stage of sleep where theyâre typically more responsive to external stimuli. So while theyâre still very much sleeping, theyâll often make little movements or sounds â from throwing their arms in the air to making âcooingâ or âgurglingâ noises.\nYour baby is probably in active sleep if theyâre doing any or all of the following:\n\n\nMoving their body. Active sleep in babies is often accompanied by lots of movement; they may twitch, wriggle, squirm, or move their arms and legs.\n\n\nTwitching their eyes. Like REM sleep in adults, babiesâ eyes are often moving even though theyâre asleep â so you may notice their eyelids fluttering.\n\n\nPulling faces. When in active sleep your baby might make facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or grimacing.\n\n\nMaking sounds. Babies often make small noises during active sleep â grunting, whimpering, and gurgling are common.\n\n\nBreathing erratically. While itâs usually nothing to worry about, babiesâ breathing is often faster and more irregular during active sleep.\n\n\nHow long does active sleep last in babies?\nFor newborns, active sleep is the first stage of sleep they experience, unlike in adults where REM sleep begins around 90 minutes after first dropping off.\nBetween the ages of 0 and 3 months, babies typically spend around 50% of the time theyâre sleeping in active sleep, with the rest made up of âquiet sleepâ â which weâll come to very shortly. Since a newborn sleep cycle usually lasts around 50-60 minutes, active sleep will last for roughly 25-30 minutes at a time â though of course, this can vary based on your babyâs age and development.\nAs your baby gets older, theyâll usually spend less and less time in active sleep. By the time they reach 12 months, for example, active or REM sleep will make up around 30% of their total shuteye, with their sleep cycle more closely resembling an âadultâ cycle (which includes around 20-25% of REM sleep) by about the age of 5.\nHow does active sleep differ from âquiet sleepâ?\nNewborn sleep cycles tend to include two different types of sleep â active and quiet sleep â with each cycle split roughly 50\/50 between one and the other. The cycle starts with active sleep, where your babyâs little eyes dart about under their eyelids and their brains are still whirring away, before transitioning to quiet sleep.\nBy the time they reach the quiet sleep stage (which is sometimes referred to as non-REM or NREM sleep), your baby is in a deeper, more restful state. Theyâll often fully relax (no more wriggling limbs) and their breathing will become slow, deep, and more regular. Their brain is far less active during this stage, which is why theyâre less likely to move around, pull faces, or make noises â hence the term quiet sleep.\nThis pattern of active-to-quiet sleep plays a key role in your babyâs early growth and development, with active sleep thought to be pivotal in developing their brain and quiet sleep more focused on physical development.\nHow do I tell if my baby is awake or in active sleep?\nBecause babies tend to be quite restless and often a little âchattyâ during active sleep, itâs not always easy to tell if theyâre sleeping or awake. Small or sudden movements during active sleep can be mistaken for signs of wakefulness, while their occasional whimpers may make it seem like theyâre trying to get your attention.\nHowever, these kinds of behaviors are normal during this lighter sleep stage and donât necessarily indicate that theyâre awake â or about to wake. Fortunately, there are a few key signs that can help you tell whether your baby is in active sleep and can be left to rest or theyâre awake and trying to tell you they need something!\n\n\n\n\nActive Sleep\n\n\nAwake\n\n\n\n\nEyes: Closed, but often with fluttering eyelids indicating rapid eye movement (REM).\n\n\nEyes: Fully open and focused, looking around or engaging with surroundings.\n\n\n\n\nMovements: Often random, brief twitches or jerks of arms, legs, or face.\n\n\nMovements: More purposeful and sustained, such as stretching or reaching out.\n\n\n\n\nBreathing: Irregular, with varying speeds or short pauses.\n\n\nBreathing: Steady and regular, reflecting more consistent body rhythms.\n\n\n\n\nSounds: Occasional grunts, whimpers, or short cries that donât persist.\n\n\nSounds: Continuous crying or fussing until comforted, showing clear signs of distress or need.\n\n\n\n\nWhy is my baby crying during active sleep?\nItâs quite common for babies to make whimpering sounds or even cry briefly during active sleep, but this isnât usually a sign of distress or discomfort. Your babyâs nervous systems are still maturing at this early stage of their development, and this can cause them to make involuntary sounds during sleep, including occasional crying noises.\nAs long as your babyâs cries are occasional and short-lived â and they settle down quickly and continue sleeping in between each whimper â thereâs normally no need for concern. If the crying persists, escalates, or if they seem genuinely distressed, however, you may want to check on them as theyâre likely in need of attention.\nShould I wake my baby if theyâre restless during active sleep?\nWhile it can be tempting to try to wake your baby or pick them up when they appear restless during active sleep â especially if theyâre very wriggly or making lots of whimpering sounds â itâs best to let them sleep unless they appear distressed.\n
8318Restlessness during the first 25-30 minutes or so of sleep is perfectly normal for a newborn, and just because theyâre wriggling, twitching, whimpering, or grumbling it doesnât necessarily mean theyâre agitated or uncomfortable. Theyâll soon transition into a more peaceful, quiet sleep.\nOf course, if you have any concerns about your babyâs sleep patterns â for example, if they show unusual sleep behaviors such as prolonged or very irregular breathing patterns, or they seem to be struggling to sleep at all â itâs always best to consult a healthcare professional.\nThe question of whether your baby is awake or in active (REM) sleep is just one of many youâll likely ask during the early stages of parenthood. \nBut while it can be difficult to tell the difference between a newborn whoâs just sleeping restlessly and one whoâs awake and in need of comfort, picking up on the telltale signs of active sleep can help you determine when the time is right to leave your baby to rest â where theyâll soon drift into a quiet, peaceful sleep.\nLooking for a full breakdown of your babyâs sleep cycles at each stage of their development?

Baby Sleep Cycle Guide by Age", 8340 "name":"How Long Are Sleep Cycles? Baby Sleep Cycle Guide by Age", 8341 "description":"What are infant sleep cycles and how do they work?First things first: what is a sleep cycle? Well, a sleep cycle refers to the different stages of sleep we (or more specifically, our bodies and brains) go through during a single period of rest. Most people go through multiple sleep cycles across one âstretchâ of sleep, without necessarily waking in between.Each sleep cycle is made up of a combination of REM and non-REM (NREM) sleep, with the former being a lighter, often dream-filled sleep state where the brain is more active, and the latter made up of various stages more associated with deep sleep.As youâll know if you are (or have ever been) a parent, baby sleep cycles can be very different from adultsâ. For starters, they tend to be much shorter, particularly at the newborn stage, while the combination of REM vs NREM sleep for newborns is around 50\/50 â in comparison, adult sleep is usually made up of 75-80% NREM sleep.Infant sleep cycles evolve as they get older too, both in terms of length and makeup. For example, each sleep cycle will become longer, and the percentage of REM sleep (often called active sleep in babies) will decrease, meaning the older they are the more time theyâll spend in a deep, restful sleep state.How long are sleep cycles in babies?In newborns, sleep cycles usually last somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes â in contrast to a typical adult sleep cycle of around 90 to 110 minutes. These cycles are made up of around 50% active (or REM) sleep, where they tend to be more restless and prone to waking, and 50% quiet (or NREM) sleep, where theyâll be in a deeper, more restful sleep.As babies get older, their sleep cycles gradually lengthen and their sleep patterns become a little more structured. From about 3 months onwards, babies start to adopt a more âadultâ sleep cycle â each cycle may last closer to 60-90 minutes, while they also spend less time in REM sleep (around 30-40%) and more in deeper non-REM sleep.When do babies start sleeping for longer periods?By around 12 months, a babyâs sleep cycle will much more closely resemble that of an adult. Sleep cycles may last up to 90 minutes at a time, and the split between light REM and deep NREM sleep will skew even more towards the latter â as with most adults, each cycle will be made up of around 75-80% non-REM sleep.Of course, this doesnât mean your little oneâs sleep
8341schedule will become fully adult-like â they may still be sleeping up to 14 hours a day (double the recommended minimum of 7 hours for adults) and napping 1-2 times in the daytime â but how (and how long) they sleep during each cycle will be more in line with how grown-ups experience sleep.Baby sleep cycles by ageIn your babyâs first year, their sleep cycles will go through a series of evolutions, starting with shorter, more âactiveâ sleep cycles and graduating to longer cycles made up of more deep, restorative sleep. Eventually, their sleep cycles will start to look a lot more âadult-likeâ.While these timelines arenât carved in stone (as with anything during early parenthood, few things are fixed or ânormalâ) and all babies move through sleep cycles slightly differently, you can usually see some patterns emerge as they age, with their sleep cycles beginning to crystallize from 3 months or so.Not every baby will follow these patterns exactly, but the below is a good general guide:\n\nAge\nAverage Sleep Cycle Length\n% of active (REM) sleep\n% of deep (NREM) sleep\n\n\n0-3 months\n30-60 minutes\n50%\n50%\n\n\n3-6 months\n60-90 minutes\n30-40%\n60-70%\n\n\n6-12 months\n70-90 minutes\n20-30%\n70-80%\n\n\n12+ months\n90 minutes\n20-25%\n75-80%\n\nNewborn (0-3 months) sleep cycleA newborn may sleep for up to 18 hours a day, usually in short bursts with frequent waking. Their sleep cycles at this stage will be short â generally between 30 and 60 minutes â and theyâll typically spend the first 20-30 minutes of each cycle in active or REM sleep, which means they can appear restless and fidgety, before settling into a deeper âquietâ sleep.At 0-3 months, your babyâs sleep patterns are usually characterized by:\nShort sleep cycles. Newborn sleep cycles tend to be no longer than 60 minutes at a time, sometimes lasting as little as 30 minutes.\nMore time in âactiveâ sleep. Typically, around 50% of a newbornâs sleep cycle will involve active or REM sleep, a lighter sleep state where restlessness is common.\nMany daytime naps. Newborn sleep occurs in short bursts, with frequent wake windows. Your baby may have 4-6 separate naps during the day, or even more.\nA lack of circadian rhythm. Newbornsâ internal sleep-wake rhythms are not yet fully developed, so thereâs no distinction between daytime and nighttime sleep. \n3-6 months sleep cycleAt this stage, your babyâs sleep cycles will start to increase in length, typically lasting between 60 and 90 minutes at a time. They may still sleep for up to 16 hours a day, but more of this will occur at night (though theyâll still be napping regularly during the day). The makeup of their sleep will start to change too, with around 60-70% of each cycle spent in deeper NREM sleep. At 3-6 months, your babyâs sleep habits may resemble something like this:\nLonger sleep cycles. Sleep cycles typically become longer from around 3 months onwards, with each cycle likely to last at least 60 minutes.\nLess time in âactiveâ sleep. Your baby will start to spend more time in non-REM sleep (a deeper and more peaceful sleep state) and display less restlessness.\nMore nighttime sleep. Around 3-4 months, melatonin production regulates (a hormone that supports the circadian rhythm), which means your baby will usually begin to sleep for longer during the night.\nTheir circadian rhythms will begin to develop, which means theyâll usually spend longer sleeping during the night.\nMore consistent nap patterns. Your little one should start to establish a more predictable nap routine, with 3-4 naps throughout the day.\n6-12 months sleep cycleFrom 6 months onwards, baby sleep cycles tend to become more âadultâ. This doesnât mean theyâll begin sleeping exclusively during the night, of course, but they may be down to just 2-3 daily naps. Each sleep cycle will last up to 90 minutes (which is about normal for an adult) and theyâll spend up to three-quarters of their snoozing time in a deeper, more restful sleep state.At 6-12 months, babiesâ sleep patterns have a few defining characteristics:\nAdult-like sleep cycles. From 6 months your babyâs sleep cycles are closer in length to an adultâs, with each cycle lasting around 70-90 minutes at a time.\nMore time in deep sleep. Each sleep cycle will be split roughly 70\/30 between deeper NREM sleep and lighter REM sleep.\nFewer daytime naps. Your baby will typically sleep for longer at night, and theyâll normally be down to just two main naps in the daytime â some may be on a single nap from 10-12 months.\nDevelopmental disruptions. Development-related changes such as learning to sit up and crawl (along with factors like teething) can introduce temporary sleep disturbances.\n12+ months sleep cycleBy the time your little one has reached toddlerdom (yes, it is a word), their sleep cycles will much more closely resemble those of an adult. Again, this doesnât mean their sleep schedule will align with yours, but as with an adult each cycle will last roughly 90 minutes, and theyâll experience more NREM sleep too (arou
8341nd 75-80% per cycle). Theyâll still likely be napping during the day, but you can usually transition them to a single daytime nap.By 12 months and beyond, your babyâs sleep patterns will be more predictable:\nSolidified sleep cycles. Your babyâs sleep cycle will be roughly the same as an adultâs at this stage, with each cycle lasting around 90 minutes.\nConsistent REM \/ NREM pattern. Like adults, toddlers tend to experience around 75-80% deep (NREM) sleep, and 20-25% REM sleep.\n1-2 daytime naps. Most toddlers will need just 1-2 naps a day, and will usually drop to a single nap between 10-18 months â though this can vary from child to child.\nLess frequent night waking. Most toddlers can sleep through the night and will wake less frequently.\nNavigating your babyâs sleep patterns can sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces, but understanding the basics of their sleep cycles can provide much-needed clarity in the midst of sleepless nights.While every baby is different, knowing what to expect as they grow will help you adjust to their changing sleep needs â whether that means embracing those early-day naps or celebrating the longer stretches of night sleep that eventually, mercifully arrive.Remember, itâs all about patience, flexibility, and finding what works best for both you and your baby. By tuning into their unique sleep cues and rhythms, youâll be better equipped to foster healthy sleep habits and, ultimately, even enjoy a little more rest yourself.Reviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in November 2024.", 8342 "datePublished": "2024-12-13 08:34:30 -0800", 8343 "dateModified": "2024-12-13 08:34:30 -0800", 8344 "author": { 8345 "@type": "Person", 8346 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-cycle-guide-by-age/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8347 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-cycle-guide-by-age/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8348 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8349 "image": { 8350 "@type": "ImageObject", 8351 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1440256452_bb79eed4-4093-40a6-896c-4cbe2cf03e9c.jpg?v=1750955045", 8352 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1440256452_bb79eed4-4093-40a6-896c-4cbe2cf03e9c.jpg?v=1750955045" 8353 }, 8354 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/baby-sleep-cycle-guide-by-age", 8355 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8356 } 8357 , 8358{ 8359 "@type": "BlogPosting", 8360 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/active-sleep-vs-quiet-sleep", 8361 "mainEntityOfPage": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/active-sleep-vs-quiet-sleep", 8362 "headline":"Active Sleep vs Quiet Sleep: Newborn Sleep Stages Explained", 8363 "name":"Active Sleep vs Quiet Sleep: Newborn Sleep Stages Explained", 8364 "description":"What are the different stages of baby sleep?Newborns experience very short sleep cycles â they typically last around 30-60 minutes at a time, averaging around 50 minutes â with each of these cycles split roughly 50\/50 between two distinct sleep stages: active sleep and quiet sleep, which are sometimes referred to as REM and NREM sleep respectively.While we apply these terms in the context of baby sleep, however, newborns donât experience REM and NREM sleep in the exact same way adults do â primarily because they donât yet carry the significance they do for adults in terms of restorative functions.As your baby gets older, their sleep architecture will continue to evolve into a more âadult-likeâ pattern, where theyâll spend a decreasing amount of time in active (REM) sleep and more in quiet (NREM) sleep. The NREM sleep stages will also become more varied and complex in nature, increasing each cycleâs restorative powers.Itâs important to note that when we refer to sleep cycles, weâre not necessarily talking about the total duration of each sleep but the repeating pattern of different stages that occur each time we sleep â newborns may sleep for up to 4 hours at a time, while sleep cycles typically last no more than an hour, so theyâll usually experience multiple sleep cycles during each snooze, quickly cycling between each stage. Hereâs a breakdown of each newborn sleep cycle stage in more detail:Stage 1: Active sleepActive sleep is a babyâs version of REM sleep, and refers to a lighter sleep stage where their brains remain active and more responsive to external stimuli. REM stands for rapid eye movement, so called because the eyes tend to move around under the eyelids during sleep.While active sleep in babies shares similarities with adult REM sleep, babies in active sleep often appear quite restless and agitated â while itâs usually not because theyâre grouchy or uncomfortable, newborns tend to wriggle, twitch, squirm, breathe erratically, and make noises during active sleep. How long does it take a baby to enter REM sleep?Newborn sleep cycles are a little like adult sleep cycles in reverse. So while REM sleep occurs roughly 90 minutes into the sleep cycle for adults and is the last stage they experience before the cycle âresetsâ, active sleep is the first sleep stage a baby enters. It will usually begin within just a few minutes of them first drifting off.How long does REM sleep last in newborns?Sleep cycles typically last somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes for a newborn, with each cycle made up of roughly 50% âactiveâ sleep. Therefore if your baby normally experiences an hour-long sleep cycle, you should expect them to spend roughly half of this time in active sleep before transitioning into a deeper slumber â though of course, this can vary per baby and s
8364ome may have slightly longer or shorter active sleep cycles.Depending on how long they sleep for, a newborn might go through multiple sleep cycles in a single period of sleep, so theyâll usually experience the transition from REM to NREM sleep (and back again) more than once.Stage 2: Quiet sleepNon-REM or âquiet sleepâ is the second major sleep stage a newborn enters. It occurs after active (REM) sleep, and is a much deeper, more peaceful sleep state. The restlessness that characterizes active sleep will subside, breathing will become more consistent, and your baby will typically be much harder to wake.A babyâs brain is much less active when they reach the quiet sleep stage, and save for the occasional twitch or whimper theyâll generally lie still and silent, sleeping soundly â at least until they wake or the sleep cycle begins again.When do babies enter quiet sleep?In a typical newborn sleep cycle, the transition from active (REM) to quiet (NREM) sleep occurs about halfway through. It depends on how long your babyâs sleep cycles usually last, of course, but letâs say theyâre normally around 60 minutes â the first half will be spent in active sleep, and theyâll enter the quiet (NREM) sleep stage around the 30-minute mark. How long does quiet sleep last in newborns?While REM sleep typically makes up around half of every sleep cycle in a newborn, the other 50% is spent in quiet or non-REM sleep. So, as with active sleep, quiet sleep will usually last roughly half of an hour-long sleep cycle. If your baby has shorter cycles, theyâll naturally spend less time in NREM sleep.When do baby sleep patterns change?The 50\/50 pattern of active versus quiet sleep is typical of a newbornâs sleep cycle, and will usually be the way they experience sleep for roughly the first 3 months. As they get older, theyâll begin to transition to a more complex sleep pattern â their sleep cycles will lengthen and include a number of different stages.Around 4-6 months, the shift to longer periods of non-REM sleep will become more noticeable. Your babyâs sleep cycles might last 60-90 minutes, and be made up of more stages of quiet sleep. This means theyâll spend less time in âactiveâ or REM sleep (around 30-40% of each cycle) and more in a more restful, restorative sleep state.As they reach their first birthday, your babyâs sleep cycle will typically resemble that of an adult, with this evolution in sleep structure helping to support their brain development and growth. Adults go through four different stages of sleep, including three non-REM (NREM) stages and one REM stage â which is typically where dreams occur.Hereâs a rough breakdown of baby sleep stages as they get older:\nNREM 1: Drowsiness. Your baby is transitioning between wakefulness and sleep. They may have slow eye movements and their muscles start to relax.\nNREM 2: Light sleep. Their breathing becomes more regular and their heart rate slows. Eye movements stop and their body temperature drops.\nNREM 3: Deep sleep. The deepest stage of non-REM sleep, often referred to as âslow-wave sleepâ. Their breathing and heart rate are at their slowest and itâs difficult to wake them.\nREM: Active sleep. The brain becomes âactiveâ, almost resembling a waking state. They may become restless and fidgety.\nWhile your babyâs sleep cycles will be even more adult-like by 12 months â up to 80% of each cycle may be made up of non-REM sleep â but itâs not until they reach around 5 years old that their âsleep architectureâ is fully developed and closely matches that of a grown-up.As your newborn navigates through their early sleep stages, it can feel like a never-ending cycle of eat-sleep-cry-repeat. But with each new phase, your babyâs sleep habits are evolving, moving them one step closer to longer, deeper rest. So, while it might seem your sleepless nights will never end, eventually youâll both be able to enjoy peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.Reviewed by Sleep Consultant, Rosey Davidson in November 2024.

Signs Your Newborn is Oversleeping", 8386 "name":"Can a Baby Sleep Too Much? Signs Your Newborn is Oversleeping", 8387 "description":"How much sleep is normal for a baby?Itâs perfectly normal for a newborn to spend most of the day sleeping. While this will be spread across multiple short sleep cycles of around 30-60 minutes each, during the first 0-3 months most babies sleep for a total of between 14 and 18 hours every day. Theyâll often sleep for around 8-9 hours during the daytime and roughly the same at night.When they get a little older (usually from around 8-12 weeks), they wonât require quite as much sleep, but theyâre still likely to spend 12-16 hours a day snoozing. This will usually involve a slightly more predictable daytime nap sc
8387hedule (3-4 naps during the day, for example) and they should (thankfully) start sleeping for longer stretches at night â possibly up to 6-8 hours.Is it possible for a baby to sleep too much?Yes. Babies require plenty of sleep for brain development and physical growth, but itâs also important that they spend enough time awake and alert for things like feeding and bonding. While itâs quite rare for a baby to sleep too much â and sleeping a little longer than normal isnât usually anything to worry about unless theyâre showing other symptoms â if theyâre snoozing through their normal feeding times, unusually difficult to wake, or struggling to gain weight, this could indicate an underlying issue.You certainly donât want to get into a pattern where your baby sleeps through and misses their daytime feeds, and is then awake for most of the night as a result. Newborns especially can sometimes be sleepy around their regular feeding time, but itâs important to fully wake them to take a good milk feed.Generally, though, as long as your baby is feeding, peeing, and pooping regularly â and theyâre not displaying any signs of illness â you donât have too much reason to worry, even if theyâre occasionally sleeping a little longer than you might expect.Itâs also important to remember that all babiesâ sleep needs are different and often changeable. They may simply be more tired on a particular day because thereâs more going on, for example, and therefore require a touch more daytime sleep.How much sleep is too much for a baby?While itâs normal for a newborn to spend up to three-quarters of their day sleeping, itâs quite uncommon for them to sleep for more than 19 hours in a 24-hour period. Sleeping for this long doesnât necessarily mean thereâs an issue â itâs not completely unheard of for newborns to sleep for up to 20 hours â but it might be a concern if theyâre missing feeds or not gaining weight as they should (keeping an eye on their number of wet and dirty diapers is a good indicator of whether theyâre hydrated and well-fed).As your baby gets older, their sleep needs will decrease. By the time they reach 3 months old, for example, you shouldnât expect them to be sleeping as much as they did when they were fresh out of the womb â at this stage, itâs pretty rare for them to need more than about 16 hours of sleep, while around 3-4 daytime naps should usually be enough.Can a baby sleep too much during the day?Yes, but this is generally only a concern if it affects their nighttime sleep pattern or feeding schedule. Babies, especially newborns, have a natural need for a lot of sleep and daytime naps are essential for their development, but too much sleep during the day can interfere with establishing a consistent nighttime routine.For babies older than a few months, excessive daytime sleep may disrupt their circadian rhythms. If your baby is sleeping for longer stretches during the day, it might make it harder for them to settle and sleep for long stretches at night â if this is the case, it can help to gradually reduce their daytime naps to ensure theyâre well-rested but not oversleepingâ.Can a baby sleep too much at night?Generally, itâs less of a concern for a baby to sleep for long stretches at night, especially as they grow older and their sleep patterns mature. In fact, for babies over 3 to 4 months, sleeping longer at night is usually a sign of healthy sleep development. For newborns, however, itâs important to ensure their nighttime sleep doesnât interfere with their feeding needs. Newborn babies typically need to wake every 2 to 4 hours to feed, especially in the first few weeks, so it may be necessary to wake them to make sure theyâre feeding regularly.Once theyâre back at their birth weight, otherwise healthy, and signed off by your pediatrician or midwife, you can normally let them sleep for longer at night and focus more on waking them for feeds during the day. Is too much sleep bad for a baby?Sleeping a little too much generally wonât do your baby any harm unless it interferes with their feeding schedule or is linked to an underlying health issue. For newborns, sleeping through feeds can impact their growth and weight gain, while if youâre finding it unusually difficult to wake them this could be a sign of something like jaundice or low blood sugarâ.Older babies tend to sleep in longer stretches, especially at night. But if theyâre sleeping too much during the day, their natural body clock can be thrown off, meaning it might be more difficult to get them to settle at night or they might wake more frequently.In most cases, your baby sleeping too much is only really a concern if any of the following are true:\nTheyâre missing feedings. Newborns, in particular, need to feed every 2 to 4 hours, and if theyâre skipping meals because theyâre sleeping too much this can inhibit their growth and development.\nTheyâre not gaining weight. If your baby is sleeping for long stretches and doesnât seem to be putting on enough weight, it could be because theyâre sleeping too much and not getting the nourishment they need.\nTheyâre unusually lethargic. If you find that your little one is not only sleeping a lot but theyâre often drowsy and difficult to wake, this could be a sign of an infection or a condition such as jaundice.\nTheyâre not sleeping at night. Newborn sleep patterns donât tend to be impacted by day and night, but babies older than a few months might struggle to sleep at nighttime if theyâre getting too much sleep during the day.\nIs my baby sleeping too much?As weâve said, you donât usually need to concern yourself with whether your baby is sleeping too much unless itâs affecting their normal feeding routine (which might mean theyâre also struggling to gain weight) or you think it might be a sign of something health-related like jaundice or an infection.If youâre worried that your little one is oversleeping, itâs always a good idea to book an appointment with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes, but there are also a few telltale signs you can look out for that might indicate your baby is more than just a sleep addict.Signs y
8387our baby might be oversleeping\nDifficulty waking up. If your baby is consistently hard to rouse from sleep, especially when theyâd usually wake to feed, this could be a sign that theyâre sleeping more than they should be.\nLack of movement during sleep. Newborns spend around 50% of their snoozing time in active sleep, where itâs common for them to be restless and fidgety. If your baby seems too still for prolonged periods, they might be sleeping for too long.\nFussiness during wake windows. If your baby seems uncharacteristically drowsy, irritable, or disinterested in between naps, they might be sleeping too much because of an underlying condition like jaundice.\nFewer messy diapers. If your baby is sleeping so much that theyâre missing their regular feeding times, you may find that you have fewer wet or dirty diapers to change. A lack of sufficient weight gain can also be an indicator of this.\nWhy is my baby oversleeping?Babies can oversleep for all sorts of reasons, and itâs not always a sign of anything untoward. Their growing bodies may require more sleep on some days than others, for example, or they may simply be worn out because theyâve had a particularly âbusyâ day. Of course, there can be health-related reasons for oversleeping too, and itâs important to keep an eye out for any signs or symptoms of these. Here are some of the factors that might contribute to excessive sleep:\nGrowth spurts. Babies go through several stages of rapid growth in the first year of their lives, and more rest is often required to fuel this growth.\nIllnesses and infections. Just like adults, babies who are poorly need rest to help them recover. A condition such as jaundice or a cold might make them more sleepy than normal.\nLow blood sugar. Babies who are not feeding often enough or have issues with their blood sugar levels might sleep more because theyâre lacking in energy.\nMedications or vaccinations. Increased sleepiness can be a side effect of some medicines, while vaccinations can also cause babies to sleep more than normal.\nOverstimulation or exhaustion. If your baby has been overstimulated or more active than usual â perhaps theyâve had lots of visitors, for example â they may simply need more sleep because theyâre pooped! \nWhat to do if your baby is oversleepingIf you think your baby is oversleeping and therefore undertired, the first thing to do is not panic: while it can be concerning, there may be a perfectly innocuous reason for them clocking up a few more Zs than normal, and it doesnât always mean thereâs an underlying health issue.Professional advice is always your best bet, but there are also a few things you can do to a) ensure your babyâs excessive sleeping isnât affecting their development or the result of a health problem, and b) help your baby maintain a healthy sleep pattern that encompasses enough â but not too much â daytime and nighttime sleep.\nMake sure theyâre feeding regularly. The most important thing is to ensure your baby isnât sleeping through important feeding times, especially when theyâre a newborn. Newborns should feed every 2-4 hours; if theyâre oversleeping and missing feeds, try waking them up gently during lighter stages of sleepâ.\nMonitor their weight gain. Itâs important that your baby isnât sleeping so much that theyâre undernourished. Check that their weight is roughly normal for their age. If it is, there may be no cause for concern; but if theyâre underweight, they may be sleeping too much and not feeding regularly enough.\nCheck for signs of illness. In some cases, oversleeping could indicate that your baby is feeling unwell. If they seem lethargic or are difficult to wake up, check for other symptoms such as a high temperature. Symptoms such as yellowy skin or eyes, dark urine, and pale-colored poo could be signs of jaundice.\n\nCreate a consistent sleep routine. Though itâs often easier said than done, setting a regular sleep schedule and trying to put your baby down at roughly the same time each night can help ensure theyâre getting enough sleep at nighttime and not sleeping excessively during the day.\nLimit daytime naps. For older babies, keeping naps at a reasonable length can help ensure they donât oversleep during the day and disrupt their nighttime slumber. Babiesâ nap schedules typically shorten as they get older, and from 6 months onward you can usually limit them to just 2-3 daytime naps.\nConsult a pediatrician. If youâre at all concerned about the amount your baby is sleeping (particularly if itâs impacting their feeding or weight gain) itâs always a good idea to seek some medical advice. A pediatrician can asse
8387ss whether your little oneâs sleep patterns are normal or a sign of a hidden issue.\nShould I wake my baby if theyâve overslept?It may be necessary to wake your baby if theyâve been sleeping for too long, especially if theyâre a newborn and overdue a feed. Newborns tend to need feeding every 2-4 hours, and leaving them to sleep and miss a feed can hamper their growth and development â and sometimes lead to them not gaining weight quickly enough. If your baby is 3 months or older, you might consider waking them from a daytime nap if you think theyâre oversleeping. Allowing extended naps during the day can disrupt their natural sleep-wake rhythms and make it more difficult for them to sleep for long stretches at night â which isnât always that fun for your baby or for you.If you do decide to wake them, try to do so when theyâre in a lighter stage of sleep. Like adults, babies go through different sleep cycles, and waking them when theyâre in light (or more âactiveâ) sleep â often characterized by slight movements, fluttering eyelids, or irregular breathingâ â will usually be less disruptive or startling.More often than not, your babyâs extra sleep is nothing for you to lose sleep over. Babies grow, develop, and heal while they rest, and sometimes they just need a little more shuteye. But if their sleep is affecting their feeding, weight gain, or theyâre showing signs of illness, itâs always a good idea to seek professional advice.Remember, every babyâs sleep needs are unique and continually evolving, and finding their perfect sleep balance is a learning process for both of you.

However, babies often make sounds during their sleep too, and may whimper or cry without waking up at all. But why does this happen?Well, there are a few possible reasons for your baby crying in their sleep:Theyâre transitioning between sleep cyclesBabiesâ sleep cycles are typically much shorter (and lighter) than adultsâ, and they also include a higher percentage of âactiveâ sleep â which we refer to as REM sleep in adults. During this sleep stage, itâs not unusual for them to appear restless, and theyâll often wriggle, twitch, jerk, or even pull faces.Itâs also normal for them to make sounds during active sleep, which can include gurgling, cooing, whimpering and â you guessed it â crying. These
8410cries will usually be mild and short-lived, and will typically subside when they move from the active to the quiet sleep stage, where they settle into a deeper slumber.Theyâre uncomfortable or in painIf your baby feels uncomfortable or is experiencing any kind of pain during the night, this can manifest as crying â sometimes even when theyâre still asleep. Discomfort might be caused by factors such as a wet diaper, tight clothing, an awkward sleeping position, or because the temperature in their room is too hot or too cold. Pain from teething can also cause babies to cry in their sleep, though it can also lead to temporary sleep disturbances where they struggle to settle or wake frequently. Another cause of âsleep cryingâ might be gas or reflux, which can lead to mild pain or discomfort.Theyâre hungryOf course, when a baby is hungry during the night, theyâll normally wake up and let you know theyâre due a feed by crying out. Sometimes, however, as hunger strikes and their bodies are trying to communicate that they need food, they may even begin whimpering or crying before they wake up.You can feed a baby while theyâre still asleep â a practice known as âdream feedingâ. While not all babies will respond well to this method (and itâs important to keep them in an upright position to avoid the risk of choking), by gently offering a bottle or a breast before they wake naturally, they may sleep for longer stretches without crying or waking.Theyâre experiencing an involuntary reflexNewborn babies exhibit something called the Moro reflex (also called the âstartle reflexâ), an involuntary movement where they suddenly throw up their arms and legs or jerk their head backwards, usually in response to sudden movements or loud noises.Particularly when theyâre in a lighter, more active sleep state and more responsive to external stimuli, your baby might experience the Moro reflex while sleeping, which may cause them to let out an involuntary cry as well as twitching or jerking.Theyâre having a bad dreamWhile science hasnât yet got to the bottom of whether babies dream â and if they do, when they start dreaming and what they dream about â there are some suggestions that children as young as 18 months may experience night terrors.However, this is thought to be very uncommon (night terrors usually occur in children aged 4 or older), so while it may explain why your toddler is crying in their sleep, itâs more likely to be caused by something other than a scary dream.Theyâre just being a babySometimes, babies cry in their sleep simply because, well, itâs a natural part of being a baby. They go through some pretty huge physical, emotional, and neurological changes â which anyone would find overwhelming â and crying is their main way of releasing pent-up energy, processing emotions, or signaling for comfort, even during sleep. Because their sleep patterns are not fully established and theyâll spend a lot of time in light, active sleep, whimpering and crying can happen as part of their normal sleep cycle. Besides, they donât always need a specific reason for a cry â sometimes theyâre just âworking throughâ the natural rhythms of their growth and development. Is it normal for babies to cry while theyâre sleeping?Itâs certainly not unusual for babies to cry while theyâre asleep, particularly when theyâre newborn. Since they typically spend about half of their snoozing time in an active sleep state, itâs common for them to appear restless while sleeping â twitching, wriggling, squirming, breathing erratically, and yes, crying.When should I be concerned about my baby crying during sleep?Thereâs usually no reason to be unduly concerned if your baby occasionally cries in their sleep, as itâs often explained away by something quite harmless. However, there may be situations where your baby is crying because theyâre uncomfortable, in pain, or feeling unwell, so you should keep an eye out for signs of this.In these scenarios, for example, sleep crying might indicate something a little more serious: \nTheyâre crying for long periods. If your baby cries occasionally during sleep but usually settles quickly, thereâs probably little reason to worry. But if their cries are more persistent, this might indicate theyâre uncomfortable or in pain.\nThey have symptoms of illness. If your baby is crying in their sleep but also has a high temperature, a rash, diarrhea, or anything else that might indicate theyâre poorly, itâs best to contact your doctor.\nTheir sleep patterns suddenly change. If you notice a dramatic change in your babyâs sleep behavior â perhaps theyâre more resistant to sleep or more frequently waking â this may suggest an underlying issue.\nTheyâre arching their back. Babies arch their back for many reasons, but if they do so while crying in their sleep, it might be because they have gas, reflux, or an upset stomach and itâs making them feel uncomfortable. \nShould I wake my baby if they are crying during sleep?When your baby cries without fully waking up, itâs usually best to simply wait and observe for a little while. If they let out a few little cries but soon settle down, itâs likely because theyâre in a more active sleep state, where itâs normal for them to be restless and occasionally quite vocal. Intervening too quickly might disturb the
8410ir natural sleep cycle and make it harder for them to settle back down, so donât feel the need to rush over and comfort them straight away.However, if their cries escalate or are accompanied by signs of discomfort â perhaps they have a wet diaper or seem a little hot and bothered â you should try to resolve whatever appears to be troubling them, ideally while trying not to fully wake them.If your baby continues crying intensely, seems distressed, or you suspect they might be in pain, gently waking them to check for potential issues (hunger or illness, for example) may be the best approach. How can I soothe my baby if theyâre crying in their sleep?Firstly, itâs important to remember that a baby crying in their sleep is usually no cause for concern, and provided thereâs no sign of an underlying issue such as illness or discomfort, theyâll often settle back down on their own without waking or requiring your intervention. However, if their cries are more intense or persistent, check for signs of discomfort. Do they have a wet diaper? Are their hands cold? Are they a little sweaty? Have they wriggled into an awkward sleeping position? In any of these cases, try to gently resolve the issue without waking them if you can.Next, look for symptoms of illness. Do they have an unusually high temperature? Are there any changes to their skin â is it mottled or paler than normal? Do they have a rash? Are they frequently coughing? If they display any signs of illness alongside their crying and theyâre difficult to soothe, itâs best to check their symptoms with a pediatrician.If they donât appear poorly or uncomfortable but theyâre still persistently crying in their sleep, you can use gentle touches to reassure them youâre there without waking them â by lightly placing your hand on their chest or back, for example. You can also make soft sounds â through soothing music, white noise, or simply your own voice â to create a more calming environment.Of course, thereâs a stark difference between a light whimper and an emphatic wail, but you know your baby better than anyone â and youâll usually be able to tell when theyâre letting out the occasional weep during a slightly restless sleep stage and when theyâre properly crying because theyâre uncomfortable or in pain. If youâre unsure, you should never be afraid to pick them up for a cuddle.Itâs perfectly natural for babies to make sounds in their sleep â check out our guide to baby sleep sounds and what they mean â and crying is often one of them. Itâs usually nothing to worry about, but if their sleep-contained snivels become more intense or persistent, itâs best to check thereâs nothing making them feel uncomfortable or in pain.", 8411 "datePublished": "2024-12-13 00:37:14 -0800", 8412 "dateModified": "2024-12-13 00:37:14 -0800", 8413 "author": { 8414 "@type": "Person", 8415 "@id": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/why-is-my-baby-crying-in-their-sleep/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8416 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/why-is-my-baby-crying-in-their-sleep/#Elvie Editorial Team", 8417 "name":"Elvie Editorial Team"}, 8418 "image": { 8419 "@type": "ImageObject", 8420 "@id": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1160927923_1ba1d830-61f9-4939-b65b-a3d9f480da05.jpg?v=1750955042", 8421 "url": "https://elvie.com/cdn/shop/articles/gettyimages-1160927923_1ba1d830-61f9-4939-b65b-a3d9f480da05.jpg?v=1750955042" 8422 }, 8423 "url": "https://elvie.com/blogs/guides/why-is-my-baby-crying-in-their-sleep", 8424 "keywords": ["Baby sleep"] 8425 } 8426 8427] 8428 } 8429 </script>
