But as desperate as you may be for some solid shut-eye, your baby won't be ready for formal sleep training until they're 4 to 6 months old. Wait until they're ready for sleep trainingįollowing these tips helps establish healthy sleep habits, and you can start to work on these as early as the first month of your baby's life. When they wake up, sniff to see if their diaper is soiled and change only if there's poop. Instead, put your baby in a high-quality nighttime diaper at bedtime, and apply diaper-rash cream as a preventative measure. Resist the urge to change your baby every time they wake up – they don't always need it, and you'll just jostle them awake. Soothe them back to sleep with a quiet voice and gentle touch. If you go to your baby at night, don't talk excitedly. The more you interact with your baby during the night, the more they're motivated to wake up. Try not to engage too much with your baby when they wake up – this could inadvertently encourage them to snap out of their sleep zone.
