1. Make sure your baby understands the difference between night and day
When they’re so young and sleep most of the time, you may feel compelled to repeat the same routines, whatever time it is. Nappy changing, eating, burping, hugging, sleeping. In the living room, in the baby’s room, wherever is most comfortable for you. And that’s fine, because what’s most comfortable is what you should aim for in the first few months (maybe the first year!) after bringing your baby home.
However, once you’ve decided that your baby can and should sleep through the night, make sure he or she understands the difference between day and night. You can let her take daily naps in the living room or bedroom, but without reducing the noise or activity in the house, while for nighttime sleep, you can set up a whole routine.
