Helping your baby adjust to a new sleep routine involves consistency and patience. Here are some strategies:
- Establish a Routine: Create a calming bedtime routine, such as bathing, reading, and gentle rocking, to signal that it’s time to sleep.
- Same Place, Same Time: Try to put your baby down to sleep in the same place at the same time each night.
- Gradual Changes: If transitioning to a new sleep environment or routine, do it gradually to help your baby adjust.
- Stay Calm and Consistent: Be consistent in your approach, responding to your baby’s needs while encouraging self-soothing.
- Be Patient: It may take time for your baby to adjust. Be patient and flexible as you establish the new routine.
