The Rested Nest Sleep Consulting

Happy Monday, y’all! Whether you choose to teach your baby good sleep habits, a strict schedule, or if you’re just going with the flow, babies will sleep at some point or another.

This cutie just turned 4 months and this age (3-4 months) is the perfect time to get your baby to sleep through the night and to get nice, solid, longer than 30-minute naps :)

DM me and me know if I can help!

Sundays are the best days to sleep in (if you can 🤪) and to let go of all the hustle and bustle of the day to day.

Is your baby ready to sleep in their own room? How long does your baby need to sleep in your room? These are all questions that parents ask themselves when: A. Baby is getting older/bigger or B. YOU just aren’t sleeping! 💤

Sleep for you is just as important as it is for your little one. You are not nearly getting enough sleep as you should be and when you do try to relax, so many things are going through your mind. When did I feed last? How long did I feed for last feed? Which breast did I use last? How many wet diapers or p**ps has baby had today? What day is it? What time is it? What’s for dinner? As much as you want baby close to you at all times, it’s sometimes hard to have your baby in your room when you try to relax. I get it!

There are many benefits for your baby to sleep in the same room such as preventing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and the ease of breastfeeding, but think about the WHOLE picture. You want to be able to be alert and care for your baby, minimize postpartum depression and keep your relationship thriving with your partner and not getting much sleep can drastically affect your life. 💤

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that babies should sleep in the same room from a minimum of 6 months to (preferably) 12 months to reduce the risk of (SIDS). But this doesn’t work with every family. What is the most important is to know the facts behind these recommendations and do what is right for your family’s sanity and well-being as well as your baby’s safety. Just remember, wherever baby sleeps, practicing safe sleeping habits are important no matter what.
