If you're seeking a way to help your little one sleep more independently, this window is for you!
Why Does Drowsy But Awake NOT Work Long Term?
• Sleep Cycles Change: Around 3-4 MONTHS, your baby's sleep cycles mature and they now get into much lighter stages of sleep like ADULTS and have more awareness when they are transferred from your arms to the crib/bed/or any other sleeping surface. This can eventually lead to the feed/rock/hold to SLEEP, TRANSFER, WAKE UP, CRY, SCREAM, and FEED + repeat cycle.
• Feeding / Rocking / Holding to Sleep Becomes a Habit: These are parent led sleep associations assisting your baby to sleep as you thought your baby this way (Negative way of sleeping and that becomes a habit post 3 months). And how your baby falls asleep is how they will expect to fall back asleep in the middle of the night or whenever they wake up. SHORT TERM It may seem like a quick fix, but LONG TERM it becomes unsustainable for many parents.
Why Parent-Led Sleep Associations Can Be Problematic:
Dependency: Babies can become overly dependent on these associations, making it difficult for them to self-soothe and fall asleep on their own during the sleep initiation & night awakenings.
Disrupted Sleep: Frequent awakenings and broken sleep/nap can lead to fussiness, short naps, and poor feeds during the day.
Sleep Regressions: As babies grow, they may experience sleep regressions because of growth spurts. Without independent sleep skills, these can be particularly challenging when they are young and until they get old(even when 4 years old!)
If you're struggling, SLEEP BUD SLEEP, the best baby sleeping consultant in Chennai, India can provide the right strategies to help your little one develop healthy sleep habits.
What can be the SOLUTION here?
Independent sleep means your baby can fall asleep and stay asleep without constant parental intervention. It's a skill that can be taught starting day 1, and it's the key to a well-rested baby and a happier family. Self-soothing is also a milestone which your baby has to achieve it, only then you would see your baby could sleep for a stretch of 6-8 hours long without FEED.
How to do it?
Transitioning away from sleep associations takes time and patience. You can follow the routine which works for your baby & family, but if you are still bit laggy and failed then use a responsive SLEEP TRAINING method that allows you to comfort and console your baby if they protest the change. Within a few nights(1-2 weeks max), you'll find your baby adapts to the new routine with GENTLE techniques and NO-CRY methods!
