Sleep Tips
Watch sleepy cues Yawning, staring, fussing, ear pulling, and rubbing eyes usually mean the wake window is ending.
Keep the room boring Darkness, white noise, and a predictable routine help babies connect sleep cycles.
Adjust gradually Move bedtime or nap timing by 10-15 minutes at a time instead of changing the whole day at once.
Use this as a guide Healthy babies vary. If your baby is growing, alert, and rested, small schedule differences are normal.
