Establish a Routine at Bedtime and Be Consistent.
Sing lullabies, give your baby a bath or read a book. The routine helps the baby relax, feel safe, and is also a signal that it’s time for sleep.
Use the Same Music Each Time You Put Your Baby to Sleep
When a soothing lullaby begins that the infant hears often, a sense of order and calmness begins.
Choose music that is approximately 60 beats per minutes, which is a calming rhythm. The music establishes a correlation between the baby’s general physiology and the outside world. The rhythm of a lullaby is similar to the baby’s heartbeat. The quiet repetitive melodies of a lullaby is a comfort and a relief.
Put Your Baby Down as Soon as He or She Is Sleepy.
Babies (and adults) sometimes have a hard time getting to sleep if they too tired.
