Sleep routines take time to form. Watch for early tired signs: eye rubbing, less activity, fussiness.
Try to put your baby down at a consistent time using a short ritual: dim light, calm voice, a soft lullaby.
A comfortable temperature and fresh air help reduce night waking. Night sleep is easier when daytime naps follow a rhythm.
Track wake windows: overtired babies often wake more than those who go down a little earlier.
Separate day and night cues: warmer light, quieter sounds, and calmer activities in the evening.
If your baby wakes, use gentle support: soft touch and a calm voice without bright lights.
When the rhythm starts to settle, note the wins. Consistency helps babies feel secure.
A nanny can gently reinforce these habits so the whole family settles into a steady routine.
