When To Move Up Newborn Bedtime
As your newborn grows, you'll need to adjust their bedtime to ensure they're getting the sleep they need. But how do you know when it's time to move up their bedtime? Here are a few things to look for:
Your baby is waking up earlier and earlier in the morning. If your baby is consistently waking up before 6 am, it's a sign that they're not getting enough sleep. Moving up their bedtime by 15-30 minutes each night can help them get the rest they need.
Your baby is taking shorter naps during the day. If your baby's naps are getting shorter, it's a sign that they're not getting enough sleep at night. Moving up their bedtime can help them consolidate their sleep into longer stretches.
Your baby is fussy and irritable during the day. If your baby is fussy and irritable during the day, it's a sign that they're not getting enough sleep. Moving up their bedtime can help them get the rest they need to be happy and content.
Your baby is showing signs of sleep deprivation. If your baby is showing signs of sleep deprivation, such as dark circles under their eyes, pale skin, or a lack of appetite, it's important to move up their bedtime immediately.
Once you've decided to move up your baby's bedtime, do it gradually. Start by moving their bedtime up by 15 minutes each night. If your baby tolerates this well, you can continue to move their bedtime up by 15-30 minutes each night until you reach the desired bedtime.
It's important to be patient when moving up your baby's bedtime. It may take a few nights for them to adjust to the new schedule. But with a little patience and consistency, you'll be able to get your baby on a regular sleep schedule that works for everyone.
Here are some additional tips for moving up your baby's bedtime:
- Make sure your baby's bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool.
- Establish a regular bedtime routine that you follow every night.
- Avoid giving your baby caffeine or sugar before bed.
- Make sure your baby is well-fed before bed.
- Be patient and consistent with your baby's bedtime.
