We know that it’s not always easy to put your baby to bed. However, a good night’s sleep is crucial for your child’s development. Indeed, a good sleep helps your baby in his learning, in the management of his emotions, in his concentration, strengthens his immune system and more. Therefore, it’s essential not to neglect his sleep and to find ways to improve it.

Here are 7 tips from Kadolis sleep expert to improve your baby’s sleep:

Give him a bath

Taking a bath is a relaxing moment for your baby, just as it is to you. Giving your child a bath about 1 hour before bedtime will allow him to relax, and thus, sleep more soundly.

Establish a routine

Obviously, it’s not always easy as a parent to have the same routine every night. However, if possible, having the same routine can have many benefits on your baby and you too ! It could help your child fall asleep earlier, sleep longer, wake up less often, improve his mood and reduce YOUR sleeping problems.

Massage your baby

Massages allow babies to relax and help them secrete more of the sleep hormone : melatonin. Thanks to this hormone, your baby will be less stressed before going to bed. Therefore, he’ll be able to fall asleep more easily and sleep longer.

Give him a pacifier

Pacifiers can help babies sleep better since they calm them down. If you notice that your child is anxious and has trouble falling asleep, it may be a good idea to consider giving him a pacifier. This can help him fall asleep and give him a more serene, longer sleep.

Play whites noises

White noises are sounds that are used to mask natural noises in our environment. These are comforting for babies since they imitate the noises they heard in the mother's belly and help them to be less distracted by ambient noises. Therefore, they are an effective way to help your little one fall asleep.

Have a calm routine

It’s important ro reduce stimulation before bedtime to prevent your baby from taking too long to fall asleep. You should therefore go in a quiet room, dim the lights and favor calm activities. You can read a book, sing a lullaby, cuddle your baby, rock him, etc.

Swaddle your baby

This technique of wrapping your baby in a light blanket can be extremely beneficial for their sleep. The swaddle will remind your baby of the sensations he felt when he was still in your belly and will calm him down. Your baby will therefore fall asleep more quickly and peacefully.
