We understand that early parenthood can come with challenges, especially when it comes to sleep.
Sleepless nights are tough, and you're not alone. This guide provides essential tips and our top five must-haves to help you establish a sleep routine that works for both you and your baby. However your bedtimes are going, remember that you're doing an amazing job, and the lack of sleep won’t last forever!
You should share a room with your baby and sleep in the same room as them for at least the first 6 months of their life, and give your baby their own sleep space (crib or bassinet) in your room, separate from your bed.
The safest position for a baby to sleep in is on their back with their feet at the foot of their crib or bassinet. Once they can roll over themselves, they can choose their own sleep position.
Keep your baby’s sleep space clear of any loose items. Babies don’t need pillows, quilts, or any loose bedding. Your baby’s sleep surface (such as a mattress) and the sleep space (like a crib, or bassinet) should meet the safety standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC has more expert advice about mattress and crib safety for babies and parents here.
Confused about what to dress your baby in for sleep? Baby sleep bags offer a safe and comfortable solution. These all-in-one garments come in various tog ratings for different room temperatures, eliminating the need for loose blankets. Simply dress your baby in lightweight layers underneath the sleeping bag.
Choose a sleeping bag that fits snugly around the neck and is appropriate for your baby's age.
The ideal temperature for a baby's room is between 50-71°F. You can use a room thermometer to monitor the temperature and reassure you that your baby's sleep space is at the perfect temperature.
Babies are less able to control their body temperature and shouldn't sleep close to a radiator or in a sunny position. The best way to check your baby's body temperature while they sleep is to put your hand on their chest or the back of their neck. For extra reassurance, you can use an electric baby thermometer.
Night lights designed for babies can help create a calming bedtime routine. Their soft glow can gently ease the transition from day to night, making it easier for your baby to fall asleep and stay asleep. Night lights also make nighttime feeds easier, without needing to turn on the bright overhead light!
Look for night lights with adjustable brightness and soothing colors like warm white or red.
The Tommee Tippee Dreammaker™ has been created in collaboration with a leading sleep laboratory to simulate ideal sleep conditions and not stimulate baby. It has an ambient red light that promotes deep sleep by encouraging the onset of the sleep hormone melatonin and plays soothing pink noise that prolongs restful sleep by replicating the familiar sounds of the womb.
Peace of mind is invaluable when it comes to your baby's sleep. A reliable baby monitor is an essential item. Using a baby monitor lets you keep an eye and ear on your baby while they sleep, without constant hovering.
Whether you choose an audio-only monitor for simple listening or a video monitor with a camera for visual reassurance, having the ability to check on your baby while they sleep significantly reduces anxiety and helps you relax more. Look for features like night vision, temperature and humidity sensors, and two-way talk features for added convenience.
