It's important for your baby's well-being to develop healthy sleep habits to help him fall asleep easily and peacefully.

Steps to help your baby fall asleep

  • Establish a sleep routine: Babies need a regular routine to fall asleep. Try to establish a pre-bedtime routine that includes soothing activities like reading a story or singing a lullaby.
  • Create a supportive sleep environment: Your baby's sleep environment should be quiet, dark and cool to promote sleep. Make sure your baby's room is well ventilated and the temperature is comfortable.
  • Encourage self-sleeping: Babies need to learn to fall asleep on their own. If you're used to rocking or holding your baby until he or she falls asleep, it's important to teach your baby to fall asleep on his or her own. You can do this by laying your baby down in his or her crib and giving him or her comforting words and gestures, such as placing your hand on his or her tummy, while he or she falls asleep. It's important to note that it may take some time for your baby to get used to falling asleep on his own, but it's worth it in the long run for his development, his confidence and your rest.
  • Respond to your baby's needs: If your baby cries or fusses during the night, it's important to try to figure out why. If you think your baby is hungry, feed him. If you think he's uncomfortable, change his diaper or adjust his temperature. If you think he needs to be comforted, hold him and reassure him. It can be frustrating not understanding why your baby is crying. Our advice: try! Try to soothe him by giving him water, food, cuddling... Eventually, you'll find relief in one way or another.
  • Maintain good sleep hygiene: It's important to maintain good sleep hygiene by respecting your baby's sleep schedule and avoiding excessive stimulation before bedtime. It is also important to maintain a regular sleep schedule to help your baby fall asleep and wake up easily.

Of course, all babies are different and may have unique needs and routines for falling asleep. It is important to follow your baby's individual needs and consult a doctor if you have concerns about your baby's sleep.

A safe and healthy environment for baby

The environment in which your baby falls asleep should not be overlooked. For starters, choose a good mattress that is comfortable and safe for your baby. Baby health professionals recommend choosing a firm mattress, which can significantly reduce the risk of cot death. 

At Kadolis, we strongly recommend choosing natural products for your baby's first nights. Your baby will spend many hours on his crib mattress, so it is essential that the materials that make up the mattress are natural and healthy. 

The majority of crib mattresses on the market, despite their so-called ecological certifications, are made from polyurethane foam. The Kadolis Cocolatex crib mattress is an excellent alternative to standard foam mattresses (foam is in fact a petroleum derivative!). 

Bedding products are in direct contact with baby's sensitive skin, so it is also important to choose healthy materials. 

Organic cotton is a material that respects the fragile skin of babies, it is also a material that is more environmentally friendly than traditional cotton (because it requires less water during its cultivation and is not chemically treated).
