If you’re a tired parent reading this, we see you. Baby sleep can feel like one of the hardest parts of early parenthood.
While routines and schedules can help, something that often gets overlooked is the baby’s nervous system. Babies who are stuck in an “alert” state can have a harder time settling into deeper rest. That can show up as short naps, frequent waking, or only sleeping when held.
When babies feel more regulated and comfortable in their bodies, parents often notice easier settling and longer stretches of sleep. If sleep has been tough lately, know that you’re not alone in this season.
