How can you help your baby sleep?

Sleep 

Recognizing Signs of Tiredness

From birth, trust yourself—and trust your baby. They were already sleeping in your womb, so they know how to sleep. However, they will often need to be supported on the path to sleep.

To do this, observing your baby will help you detect their early signs of tiredness. They may yawn, close or rub their eyes, or relax their body… Noticing these signs will allow you to respond quickly and effectively to their needs and establish good habits from an early age.

Creating Sleep-Friendly Conditions

Once you have met all your baby’s physiological needs (diaper change, comfort, feeding), what else do they need to sleep? It’s quite simple: respect the day/night rhythm. Your baby’s brain, immature at birth, is not yet tuned to this alternation. It’s through your actions and routines that they will learn this rhythm. During the day, it’s recommended to speak normally and help your baby fall asleep in a room with some natural daylight. Your cuddles and gentleness will reassure them and help them drift off.

At night, turn off the lights and whisper. If your baby still needs to feed, they will learn that nighttime is a time for calm and darkness. Opt for a soft, warm-colored light (yellow) that allows you to see without overstimulating them. Meeting your baby’s nighttime feeding needs is vital. However, we recommend creating a peaceful and soothing environment conducive to rest. This nighttime atmosphere should contrast with the naturally brighter and noisier daytime environment.

The Importance of Ritual

From a very early age, establish a ritual that reassures your baby. Through repetition and predictability, rituals provide comfort. They help your baby learn and gradually anticipate what will happen next. For example, tell your baby that you’re going to place them in their bed, where they are safe, and that you’ll be there when they wake up. Kiss their forehead, give them a cuddle, and lay them down. Babies are comforted by regular rhythms. Predictability brings peace of mind. After reading a story, you might give your baby a big hug and play a music box. This daily repetition will help them feel secure and calm before sleep.

For the ritual to work for your family, it’s important to adapt it to your lifestyle and to your baby. Maintain it throughout the early years while adjusting it to your baby’s evolving needs.

What to Offer During the Day?

Offer your baby a caring and responsive presence throughout the day to help them feel secure in their sleep. Your baby has physiological needs like eating, eliminating, and resting… and meeting these needs appropriately is essential. Observing and understanding your baby’s cues will help you respond to them and build their sense of security. Your responsiveness also helps your baby understand and identify their own needs.

But your baby is not just a physical being in need of care. They are a unique developing individual. They need interaction, play, cuddles, to be carried, and to be immersed in your native language—especially through nursery rhymes. All this emotional nourishment is vital to your baby. They may seek it during the day or when their emotional reserves haven’t been fully replenished. In those cases, they may try to delay bedtime to get more connection time.

That’s why shared, quality moments—free of distractions (no TV, no phone)—are essential to refuel their emotional tank…
