6 reasons teaching your Babe to sleep well is a POSITIVE thing!!
1. You will feel more confident in your ability to predict and know what your Babe wants or needs.
2. A healthy sleep schedule helps regulate your child’s appetite. Babies generally take in better feeds when well rested and toddlers generally become more interested in their meals when less tired.
3. A good night’s sleep makes your Babe happier. There is nothing worse than a grumpy babe that won’t be put down during their awake windows. Generally, separation anxiety simmers down, as they are happier to go off and explore.
4. An overtired baby wakes DISTRESSED at night. Literally screaming bloody murder. And that’s distressing for US!!!
5. You might see an increase in growth as our Babe’s grow during sleep – and appetite regulates.
6. Your mental health. When it comes to sleep deprivations, it is one of the leading factors triggering postnatal depression. We all know how a solid block of sleep can dramatically improve our mental clarity.
