4 Months to 12 Months
Around the 4 month mark many parents are keen on getting their little ones into some sort of routine. By this stage in their lives, babies are getting to the routine of daily life. But, issues with sleep can last through to the toddler years and beyond.
At 4 months it’s all going on! Teething, early weaning, attempting to establish a nap routine and your baby starts producing their own Sleep Hormone; Melatonin. Then you have the 4 month sleep regression which is when your baby’s sleeping habits change permanently. Some babies go back to sleeping well in a couple of weeks, but others may need a proactive approach to changing these habits.
You may have been surviving on broken sleep until now, which could be affecting your enjoyment of life as a parent.
The excitement of a new baby may have carried you through the first few months, but no one can run on empty, and tiredness and frustration can have a very negative impact on your life.
Many parents return to work during this stage of their baby’s life, so broken sleep quickly becomes unmanageable. The good news is that in their early years, children can learn and adapt quickly.
As a highly trained and experienced gentle baby and toddler sleep consultant, I will work with you to find the correct sleep training method for you and your baby.
Together, we can work on the correct age appropriate awake windows so bub is not overtired and it is no longer a battle getting them down in the first place, then screaming and waking after one sleep cycle.
