Routine by the Clock ⏰ Babies develop a circadian rhythm (biological clock) within the first 3 months, regulating sleep, wake cycles, hunger, and more. By 4 to 5 months, sticking to consistent nap times helps sync your baby’s body clock to these times, making it easier for them to fall—and stay—asleep. Sleep-Promoting Environment 🌙 A dark room helps curious babies settle, and white noise signals it’s sleep time while masking any environmental noises that might abruptly wake them. Ensure their s

But it's a PROgression, and not necessarily a regression in sleep. If your baby has learned to fall asleep independently, you might not notice much disruption, just some subtle position shifts as they wake between sleep cycles before drifting back off into another. These brief awakenings are a natural survival mechanism we all share! If your baby relies

And during these phases the body experiences temporary muscle paralysis known as atonia, while the brain shows activity similar to wakefulness. But young babies don’t experience this paralysis during REM sleep. So their eyes can flutter, their arms and legs might twitch and jerk around, their breathing will s
