Knowing This Will Instantly Improve Your Baby’s Sleep (and yours)

Newborns display several behaviors that can often be confusing for new parents, and lead to less than ideal sleep as a result. Often we see our babies doing certain things, and that can lead us to thinking they're awake when they aren't.
Then there are times when we put all of this pressure on ourselves to get them to sleep, when really it's an uphill battle and one that's impossible to win. The end result being excess stress and anxiety - which is the last thing any new parent needs.
In this video you'll learn 4 newborn sleep behaviours and how to manage them when you see them so you avoid unnecessary waking, experience better naps, and hopefully also feel a little more relaxed when it comes to your baby's sleep.

If yours start crying give them a good 30 seconds before you pick them up or you’re just disturbing their sleep. Other than that I would setup your phone to only allow it to ring from the hospital/your wife. You don’t want it ringing off the hook when your baby is sleeping. Set alarms every 3 hours to make sure your baby eats. Mine didn’t wake up on his own for them but it’s important they get enough formula/milk. And try to take care of yourself. Sleep when they sleep if you can. I ended up losing a pile of weight because I wasn’t sleeping and forgetting to eat. I wish you the best of luck, I assure you that it’s worth everything in the end

Just knowing this variability and unpredictability is 'normal' will help so much I think and I wish I had seen it before having my first child! I definitely picked my daughter up so many times when she was still asleep because of these noises and also thought my newborn should be going to bed at 7- I was sure I was doing something wrong when her bedtime was closer to 10pm!

I just listen for an alarm or crying, so I've been making my wife go to bed early, and little man and I sleep in the living room. Sooo much better for her. She had panic attacks about sleep over this. If we knew this earlier, oh my the stress it would save.

They are already individuals, and although they ALL will not remember their infancy, amazingly, many will remember MANY episodes within this first era of their lives on earth.

    "because your baby's drive to sleep is determined by sleep pressure, your newborn will simply fall asleep when they are tired", I wish that were true for all babies! At 2-13 weeks old, our baby would stay awake for 3+ hours despite rocking, swaddling etc., becoming extremely cranky as a result. Even now, the million dollar question is how to teach her to fall asleep and stay asleep for more than 45minutes without being held.

    Yep, this is what I'm going through now. My little one refuses to sleep unless I'm holding her and/or nursing her. Setting her in a bassinet or crib is out of the question for her. I might have a chance with a car seat, dockatot, or bouncer.... might is the key word here. But forget the nice safe mattresses(two bassinets and a crib) I have for her. I say all this having already raised two boys (ages 16 and 19 years). This isn't my first rodeo but this little girl is totally different then my boys... 😩

    We're 3 weeks into it. The first two weeks, he didn't make noises he just slept. When I say slept, I mean like we literally still now have to wake him up to feed him. He sleeps 4 to 5 hours at a time and gets actively irritated when woken up to feed. He JUST started to make these grunting noises, and he now is up for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. When he started these noises I of course, started getting nervous. Thank you to all the people who make videos like this. I thought we were doing something wrong.

    Everything in this video makes sense expect the last bit. Many midwifes have told me that babies fall asleep faster and sleep better when there's noise around. Babies love wihte noise because that's what they are used to from being in the womb (the mother's organs are considered to emit quite a lot of sound). If it's completely quiet around them, their subconscious might get the signal of abandonment and they will make themseves heard. Otherwise lovely video!

    None of my babies or myself can sleep in quiet or dark. And ironically it began because I was feeding my first son so often, I got too tired to get up and put on the telly for each feed. So I started watching shows on my computer. While feeding in bed. He stopped napping all together at 6 months old. By 2 he was drumming, but 5-6 a very accomplished drummer. ADHD like his mumma. This video was great. But just wanted put my hand up here for neurodiverse families. Full blown panic attacks if I'm in a dark, quiet environment. Seems 2/3 of my babies are the same. We can sleep nicely to black and white relaxed music. Lanegan live is our go to.

    Yeah I just had my baby last month and picked up on this quick 🤣 I won't move/touch her unless she's actually awake. She will be actively crying and her eyes will be open, thats how I know. And she only wakes crying when she's hungry so ill rush to feed her but thats about it. If she wakes and she's just looking around I'll scoop her and walk around so she can enjoy the scenery lol

    This is the scariest part of having a newborn for me. I have epilepsy, and sleep deprevation is the number one siezure trigger for me.

    This is 💯 true. I use to have a night light and music on bc I thought babies slept better with it until I forgot to turn it on one night and my son slept for longer and was well rested in the morning. The music is soothing for sure but now I play music only in the day time whether it be in his play time or nap time. No more night light either not even to feed him.

    Being a parent is so difficult. Its like my baby could have everything he needs. Full on food to where he cant hold it down anymore. Swaddled up and being cuddled. if you arent actively soothing him rocking him. He is screaming death screams. Its like i have to give this kid absolute 100% of my attention and effort to keep him from crying.

    I agree with everything except the "quiet" environment. My parents swore we all slept better when surroundes by noise, including vacuuming, dishes, TV sounds, music, noise from outside, etc. Not everyone sleeps well in quiet environments. In fact, us neurospicy folks prefer loads of brown or white noise.

    White noise is great - lots of adults sleep better with white noise! It's more important the noise is free from sudden loud, noises which can cause a person to wake up.

    What isn't said often enough: Babys don't (always) just fall asleep when they're tired! You need to actively put them to sleep. We spent many weeks wondering why our baby is awake for so long at a time, oftentimes unhappy but not seemingly tired. Our pediatrician and doula didn't help us figure this out either even though we specifically asked whether these long wake times were normal. Google helped in the end and now we have a much happier baby. And this does not only apply starting at 6 weeks like it is said in this video. For us the problems already started at 2 weeks
