When can my baby sleep alone?

The fact is: In the first few months, babies usually sleep in their parents' room, ideally in a co-sleeper. From six months onwards, many can gradually begin to settle down in their own room in their crib. What's important isn't "sleeping through the night at the push of a button," but rather providing comfort, security, and consistent routines.

Especially during the first few nights alone in their own bed, it's helpful to place a familiar cuddly blanket or a worn shirt belonging to the parents in the crib. The familiar scent provides security and eases the transition to the new sleeping environment. A quiet background noise, such as white noise or gentle nature sounds, can also help babies block out disturbing noises and fall asleep more easily.

Another tip: Pay attention to your baby's tiredness cues. Overtiredness often leads to restlessness and difficulty falling asleep. When your child shows early signs like rubbing their eyes or fussing, it's time for bed. At the same time, consistent bedtimes provide structure – babies love routines and respond positively to this rhythm.

Rituals that help

• Fixed routine: Put on pajamas, attach MARY , cuddle, dim the light
• Calming signals: a goodnight song or soft humming
• Provide security: accompany briefly at first, then slowly withdraw

Tip: MARY - the smart ladybug measures temperature, breathing & movements, so you don't have to constantly check and can still be safe.
