Are you wondering when you can expect your baby to self-settle and resettle? 🩷
During the trenches of sleep deprivation, us mummas can often find ourselves wondering when our baby will learn how to self soothe and link their sleep cycles to give us a break for longer than 30-40 minutes! 😫😮💨😮💨😮💨
Setting realistic expectations for both you and your baby can help ease your mind regarding when you can anticipate this to happen 🥰🤞🏻🩷
Typically, newborns begin to develop the ability to self-soothe from* 3 months of age (please consider that if your baby was premature, this milestone may take a bit longer). While infants begin to develop the ability to self-settle from* 4 months, they will often still need your support to link sleep cycles until around 5 months of age. This is why at first your baby may begin self-settling, but still needs your support to link their sleep cycles for another month or so 🩷
If your baby is continuing to catnap beyond this age, book a consultation or download our ‘4-Month Sleep Regression’ survival guide where we cover the key foundations and strategies for restoring sleep for both you and your baby, available for instant download at www.settletosleep.com.au 🫶🏻💫🩷
