Sleep

Baby sleep changes often and does not always match adult expectations. Gentle routines can help, while safety remains the firm foundation.

Build reassuring sleep cues

• Use a short, repeatable wind-down.
• Place baby on their back on a firm, flat surface.
• Keep pillows, quilts, toys and loose items out of the sleep space.
• Share night care where possible so adults can rest too.

If sleep changes suddenly or you are worried, speak with your pediatrician.
