Attention sleep-deprived mothers! If you’ve consulted a specialist to find out the cause, and no symptoms have been found – your baby isn’t hungry, doesn’t have gas – but still can’t fall asleep easily, you can try these suggestions. This way, both you and your baby can enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Fresh Air: If conditions and weather permit, letting your baby get some fresh air during the day will be good for them.

Lighting: Daytime naps should be in a dimly lit environment, not a very dark or very bright room; nighttime sleep should be in a dark environment. If you are feeding your baby milk or formula at night, we recommend using a low-light night lamp.

Fatigue: You shouldn’t tire your baby out too much before bedtime. An overly tired baby will have difficulty falling asleep. Remember, you also have difficulty sleeping when you are too tired.

Massage: Baby massage is said to be effective in regulating babies’ sleep and reducing stress hormone levels. For more detailed information on this topic, you can read our article, The Importance of Baby Massage.

Giving your baby a warm bath: It soothes, calms, and helps them fall asleep. Isn’t that exactly the goal?

Storytelling and Lullabies: Hearing your voice will soothe and calm your child. If you make reading books and singing lullabies a bedtime routine, your child will naturally recognize when it’s time for sleep and a sleep pattern can be established.

Eye Contact: Making eye contact and talking to your baby, which is very important from birth, strengthens the bond with them. We also recommend this kind of communication when changing diapers and feeding.

Temperature: The ideal room temperature for your baby to sleep in is 20-22 degrees Celsius.

Sound: After the noisy environment of the womb, your baby may not immediately adapt to a very quiet environment. Sounds that won’t disturb your baby, such as a mobile or soft music, can help them fall asleep.
