Is your baby grumpy and frustrated during the day? Are you waking up countless times during the night just to put your infant back to bed? The major culprit of this is most likely extended day-time naps.

If you notice your newborn baby waking up too often during the night time, you will need to re-train his or her natural sleep patterns and get it back on track.

On the other hand you will have to also monitor your baby’s nap cycles during the day. If he starts looking tired, have your child take a nap before he gets much too tired and is unable to sleep well later on.

You can easily tell by just looking to see if the child is fussy, annoyed, quiet and has no interest in its environment. Keep your eye on your infant as much as possible and don’t delay when you see those symptoms. Let these clues guide you in setting a normal nap schedule for your newborn baby.

Why the big rush? If your baby doesn’t go to sleep when it needs to, it might just stop feeling sleepy after a while – as adults we experience this too. They go into the second stage of alertness and will feel even more tired at a later stage.

For you to rearrange your infant’s time of sleep will not take as long as you think. Your little one is more adaptable than you might realize. Just attempt the routine on a consistent basis and before you know it, you will not have to wake up regularly every night to put your child back to sleep.

Even if you do everything right, things might not always go according to plan. There will be times where nap times are not possible (like when you take your baby out to the shopping mall for example). That is fine, just don’t do it too consistently or a new habit might form.

Sometimes a baby’s sleeping schedule can be interrupted, due to family activities and such situations that you did not plan for or that cannot be avoided – this is okay. As long as on the following day you resume where you left off.

To get your baby to adapt faster to his or her new nap schedule, you might like to try using soft music to give your child the cues to go to sleep. Once your baby has grown accustomed to the signals, sending your baby to sleep will be as easy as snapping your fingers.
