Babeez Newborn SleepTips:

Did you know  that  you can catch the W.O.O (window of opportunity) an teach your baby great  sleep  skills from early on! Here are 3 things you can do for your baby from the  day  she's born to help start those self soothing and sleep skills off  right:

1. Be sure to use a white noise machine.
The soothing sound will  help your baby sleep faster, longer and not be disrupted by the noises happening  in your home.

2. Swaddle your baby for all sleeps. This will help your baby  feel cozy and secure while offering a safe blanket. It will help to minimize  wakes from your babies startle reflex and help them sleep much better.

3.  Place your baby to sleep in a dark room. Your babies natural sleep hormone,  melatonin, will increase in a dark room and naturally help your baby relax and  calm faster.

Don't forget  safety...always place baby on their back to  sleep, use a firm crib mattress and keep their crib/bassinet free from stuffed  toys, blankets and
bumpers.

Sweet dreams with your newborn!

How Much  Sleep Do Your Babeez Need?

8/8/2013

0 Comments

 
From  Certified Sleep Consultant Debbie Fazio
   
 Many new parents are concerned  their baby is not getting enough sleep. Here is a guide of approximately how  much sleep your baby needs by age. Please keep in mind that baby must be eating  well to encourage longer sleeps and that parents should always speak to their  doctor or a sleep consultant for more specific information on their situation. 
Babies 0-2 months will spend  more of their time sleeping. They may have wakes that last between 30-60 minutes  depending on how long your baby can handle being happy awake. Your baby
should  be sleeping approx. 8-10 hours in the day with feeds in between and an  additional 8-10 hours per night which may also include 2-3 feeds.
Babies 2-4 months may start to  shorten their day sleep but have longer stretches overnight. Babies of this age  should be sleeping approximately 7-9 hours in the day with feeds in between  and  approximately 8 hours overnight with possibly 1-2 feeds.
Babies 4-8 months can start  to  work towards a regular schedule. Having a 1.5-2 hour nap in the morning and again in the after, then 1 short evening nap a around 30-60 minutes and finally   sleeping though the night for 10-12 hours with 0-1 feeds.
Babies 8-12 months will eliminate their final evening catnap and only sleep 2 times a day from about 1.5- 2 hours per nap then sleeping through the night for approx. 10-12 hours. 

Babies over 12 months may
need  to move to 1 nap a day ranging from 1.5-2 hours and sleeping through the
night  for 10-12 hours.
