00:00 want to know a secret tip for how to get your baby to sleep?
00:05 If your baby is a little fussy and you're having trouble
00:13 settling them to sleep, one thing you can do
00:16 is follow what a recent Japanese study said
00:20 works for helping get babies to sleep and transferred into their cribs
00:24 more successfully. The study said that you should take your baby, have them all
00:31 swaddled up if you want to swaddle them, and carry them holding them close in
00:37 your arms in a cuddle. Walk throughout your home. It doesn't
00:42 matter if it's up and down the hallway, back and forth,
00:45 just as long as there's not a lot of sudden kind of starts and changes
00:50 and that the environment is kind of quiet and conducive for sleep.
00:55 After five minutes of walking, sit and wait for five to eight minutes.
01:01 Keep cuddling your baby nice and close. They can feel your warmth,
01:06 they can hear your breathing, they can feel your heartbeat, they can smell you,
01:10 and these things settle and calm them. After about five to
01:14 eight minutes, and you need to wait that whole five to eight minutes,
01:18 you can then transfer them into their bassinet,
01:22 crib, or cot.
01:24 Want a really, really, really easy way to make
01:34 your baby's sleep rhythms a little more predictable?
01:38 I've got a tip for you. Pick a morning wake-up time. Maybe it's 6 30,
01:45 maybe it's 8 30. A lot of people like 7 a.m
01:49 as a morning wake-up time. Pick your perfect morning wake-up time
01:54 and then wake baby up consistently every single day
01:58 at that time, even if they're sleeping. Say good morning,
02:02 wake them up, and start your morning ritual. When you can establish
02:06 a regular wake-up time, your baby's sleep cycles will naturally start to fall
02:13 into a very consistent pattern that you can start to see, and you can
02:18 start to anticipate every day when your baby is ready for a
02:22 nap. And when you're waking a baby up at 7 a.m,
02:25 you can start to think about putting them down for sleep
02:29 around 7 p.m.
