How much sleep does my baby need?

Key points with baby sleep

• Your baby needs your help to relax and fall asleep, but as they get older, they will work out how to settle themselves.
• Before putting your baby to sleep, check that they've had a feed and a nappy change and aren't too hot or cold.
• It can take time to get into a routine, but 'feed-play-sleep' is a good pattern to follow.
• Put your baby down to sleep as soon as you notice their tired signs, such as frowning, yawning or jerky movements.
• A bedtime routine helps your baby know it's time to go to sleep — this might include a bath, story and cuddle.

Do you know when your baby is showing tired cues? 💤💤💤

Signs can be subtle and are easy to miss. Tired signs include:

Jerky movements
Rubbing eyes, pulling ears
Yawning
Sucking hands
Looking interest
Becoming fussy

By the time babies get to the stage of uncontrollable crying, they are very tired. Picking up on the tired cues early can support easier transition to sleep.

Today we remember the National Apology to the Indigenous peoples & Stolen Generations in 2008. A time to reflect and to send healing love, as we remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as the Stolen Generation.
