Sleeping Tips

Many 4-month old babies wake up at night. To help you and your baby sleep better, follow these tips:

  • Have a bedtime routine
  • Put him to sleep when he’s drowsy but still awake
  • Keep him calm when changing him at night
  • Play during the day, not at night
  • When he fusses at night, wait to see if he will fall back asleep on his own
  • Avoid screen time as much as possible
