Please contact childcommunity@health.wa.gov.au Watch your baby for signs that he is tired, or for signs that he wants to play, so that the pattern best meets his needs. There are lots of things that you can do during play time at this age, such as cuddles, a walk, time on the floor or in a baby seat with toys, going shopping, or visiting. These play times will help your baby to learn that daytime is the time to be awake. During the day, your baby will usually have two or three sleeps. It is a good idea not to let him sleep for too long (perhaps no more than two hours) especially late in the day, as he may not sleep as long during the night. You may want to wake him gently when you see him stirring. At night time, do not have play times – keep feed times ‘boring’ and settle him straight back to sleep. Ideas for settling and soothing Place your baby on her back in the bassinet or cot. Pat your baby, or jiggle the cot in a regular rhythm. You may need to pat or rock quickly at first, then slow down as your baby calms down. Stop before your baby goes to sleep. Sing to your baby, or put on the radio. Other regular noises such as the washing machine or dryer can help. You could darken the room for night sleeps. Day sleep could be in a brighter, noisier place – but if this does not work try the darker, quieter place. Some babies settle better if wrapped fairly firmly in a thin cotton sheet with the arms wrapped in too, while others do not like this, and settle better if they can use their hands to soothe themselves. The wrap should not be too tight and must allow chest wall, hip and leg movement. If your baby has reached the rolling over milestone, wrapping is not recommended as they are at risk of suffocation. Your baby will learn about going to sleep more quickly if you try to use the same settling ideas each time, day or night. Night time It is still normal for babies to have feeds during the night. You could try a ‘late feed or sleepy feed’ feed at about 10:00pm, before you go to bed, and this may help your baby to sleep longer. Disturb her as little as possible. Lift her without fully waking her and feed. Some babies start waking again at night when their appetite increases. This extra feed increases the breast milk supply. They usually settle again when they are having more food. Babies have some ‘growing’ times when they are more fussy. Baby sleep Babies vary a lot in the amount of sleep they need. Between three to six months some babies have two or three longish sleeps during the day, while others just have short naps. A few sleep 12 hours at night without interruption, some manage eight hours while many others wake fairly regularly for feeds. Most have learned to sleep more at night than they do during the day. If you are happy with your baby’s sleep pattern, there is no need to change it. There are many ways to be ‘normal’. Responding to your baby’s cues of when she needs to sleep, or play, or feed, or be cuddled, is important in helping develop secure attachment. Sleeping baby in a safe cot next to the parents' bed for the first six to twelve months reduces the risk of sudden infant death, including SIDS, as long as the room is smoke free. Daytime and night time patterns By this age your baby will be starting to learn about the difference between day and night. You can help your baby get into a daytime pattern. After he has had a feed, play with him for a while, so that he does not go to sleep straight after a feed. Babies who go to sleep straight after a feed may get into the pattern of needing a feed at night to go back to sleep.
