1. Watch for Sleep Cues:
   • Pay close attention to your baby’s sleep cues. Yawning, rubbing eyes, or becoming fussy can signal that your baby is getting tired. Try to put them down for a nap or bedtime at the first signs of drowsiness to avoid overtiredness.
2. Feeding Routine:
   • For infants, establish a consistent feeding routine. Whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, a full stomach can contribute to better sleep. Be mindful of not letting the baby fall asleep while feeding to avoid associating eating with falling asleep.
3. Adjust Daytime Activities:
   • Ensure that your baby engages in enough daytime activities and playtime. Exposure to natural light during the day helps regulate the baby’s circadian rhythm. Active play during waking hours can contribute to better sleep at night.
4. Swaddle or Use a Sleep Sack:
   • Swaddling can provide a sense of security for some babies. Others may prefer the freedom of movement offered by sleep sacks. Experiment with what works best for your baby.
5. White Noise or Lullabies:
   • White noise or gentle lullabies can create a soothing background that masks other household noises and helps the baby relax. Consider using a white noise machine or a soft music player.
