Infant Sleep Solutions

If you have a 2 month-old and are wondering when it might start getting easier, let me just say….you’re getting closer, mama!

🧐Typically by about 6 weeks it becomes easier to settle into a routine, and by 2 months you may be getting solid 6-8 hour night stretches. Woohoo!

If this is not you, and you’re wondering what you’re doing wrong…please know that chances are, you’re not doing anything wrong at all. Some babies are just EASY and some are more challenging.

🫣Barring colic, reflux, and allergies that you may be sorting out, below are some ways to help support your baby’s sleep⬇️

1️⃣FOLLOW .solutions for baby sleep tips!

2️⃣Follow age appropriate wake windows! I know your baby may SEEM fine being awake for 2-3 hours until bedtime, but I promise you that is too long for them to be awake. Often over-tiredness can make it harder to get a baby down (or for them to STAY asleep) so if you’re struggling at bedtime or during naps, know that you may need to adjust your awake time.

3️⃣If you haven’t begun a super consistent bedtime routine yet, it’s time! Comment “bedtime” below and I’ll send you a step by step bedtime routine just for this age!

First off, CONGRATS on your new little nugget! 🥰
Second, if you don’t yet, FOLLOW for regular baby sleep tips, tricks, and tons of discounts hidden throughout posts😉

A few things to look forward to in the first month:

🌙Baby’s first (and possibly second) growth spurt. Lots of extra feeding and lots of sleep!

🌙Short overnight sleep spurts, but don’t worry! These don’t last forever! With a healthy, thriving baby you can *typically* expect to add an hour to each overnight sleep stretch per week, over the first 10-12 weeks.

🌙Lots of snuggles! It’s called the 4th trimester for a reason! Baby is used to being on mama and wants to stay that way. So enjoy all that bonding time!

🌟They do best upright on your body during this stage, and oftentimes the bassinet (laying flat) isn’t their favorite, but over time you can help them to get used to it 👉👉Ask me HOW in the comments

🌟You can keep them out in your living room space or expect them to sleep fine during naps on the go still, with active sun light. (We usually adjust this by the third month)

🌟They sleep great with lots of background noise, people talking, etc, since they’re used to being in mom’s womb which is VERY loud.

And the list goes on! But *HOW* do you accomplish this?! ✨Comment “WAKE WINDOWS” below and I’ll dm you age appropriate wake windows with a sample sleep schedule for YOUR baby or toddler (0-4 years) based on the information you share with me🫶 🤷‍♀️But why not just follow the wake windows the Internet suggests for my child’s age range? Well, it’s simple (and quite annoying), actually. The internet (and Huckleberry!) does not account for other situations you may be encountering, like: 👉Night wakings or split nights 👉Short naps and how to proceed 👉Early morning wakings & how to adjust 👉Growth spurts and teething 💫Psstttt! You’ll also want to go ahead and focus on⬇️ 1️⃣ A consistent sleep routine 2️⃣ Winding down before sleep specifically as it’s summer and super bright outside! 3️⃣ Nutrition! As it’s getting hotter out this summer our kiddos tend to eat less and remain hungry later at night. Make sure they’re getting enough calories in! ✨Oh!

IT’S GOING GREAT. EVERYTHING IS FINE.

What’s one thing you wish your non-parent friends knew about your day?? Tell me below⤵️

Can I get an amen? 🤣 Drop a 💃 if you agree!

Is your baby or toddler struggling with split nights?

If yes, drop a 🤯 below

💫If baby is working on a milestone, often they’re just SO excited by their new skill that, similar to myself last night, they can’t “turn it off” and won’t be able to until they master this new skill.

💫 If this is new for your baby and believe it’s due to a milestone specifically, know that it won’t last long! Typically a few days or a week and then they’re back to their normal sleeping patterns.

💫If this has been happening for a while and your baby is either about to drop a nap or just did, you may need to adjust their wake windows

Pro tip⤵️

👉A lot of times you can create a log to see where the problem is, OR if they’re working on a new skill like crawling, walking, pulling up, or they’re just BURSTING with new language (even if that only means new “sounds” - that’s still new to them!) you know it’ll truly just take time.
