What are the benefits of sleep for baby's health?

A large literature review in 2017 showed that sleep has an important role in both mental and physical development as a child ages. It’s essential at all ages for laying down new memories, protecting our immune system and restoring the energy we use up in the daytime. Sleep helps your baby to be fully active and make the most of its days, in terms of feeding well, learning at an increased rate and interacting with its wonderful new world and family.

How should I prepare my baby for sleep?

Always put your baby to sleep on its back and ensure you live in a non-smoking environment to reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Make sure the room temperature is cool at around 16 degrees celsius, which is the ideal temperature for sleeping. You need to help your baby learn the difference between night and day. Give evening feeds in a darkened, quiet environment. A comfortable place for feeding, whether breast or bottle, is essential. You can learn to feed on-the-go later.

Does a bedtime routine matter?

A daily bedtime routine could be worth its weight in gold allowing your child to flourish. One large US study suggests the benefits of a consistent routine are that children are found to fall asleep quicker and wake up less often, and maternal mood is improved. If older children in the household make a regular routine challenging, try involving them in the care of the baby so they feel part of the process. Your baby will grow to love this as they get older and it can be great sibling quality time.

How often do newborn babies sleep?

Newborns sleep in cycles of 45 minutes – initially deeper, then lighter, which might mean they wake at 20 minutes. As you gain confidence, you may not feel the need to cuddle or feed them at every wake, simply comfort them gently. How often your baby wakes up to be fed will gradually improve as it grows in weight and manages to sustain itself between feeds. Some studies have shown that leaving a baby to cry encourages self-soothing, but as with all parenting, it’s a personal decision. Rest while your baby naps, and stay well-nourished and hydrated. Changing hormones and tiredness can lead to a roller coaster of emotions for a mother. If you don’t feel right, please speak to your doctor. You won’t be the first parent to ask for help.
