Sleep routine for babies: Healthy baby sleep made easy

Baby sleep can sometimes seem like a small mystery – sometimes peaceful, sometimes full of interruptions. But good, sufficient sleep is crucial for development, growth, and well-being.

Understanding Baby Sleep

Babies sleep differently than adults. They have shorter sleep cycles and frequently switch between light and deep sleep.

To better understand this natural rhythm, continuous monitoring of vital signs is helpful. MARY by sticklett supports this by automatically recording and clearly displaying temperature, breathing movements, movement patterns, and sleeping position.

MARY's sleep pattern analysis can provide clues as to whether a new developmental phase is approaching, whether the baby is still processing the day, or if there is particular restlessness/calmness during sleep.

Tips for Stable Sleep Habits

Regularity provides security.

• Introduce fixed bedtimes (at the same time every day, e.g., 7:00 PM)
• Develop a loving bedtime routine and repeat it daily
• Sufficient awake phases during the day
• Quiet atmosphere at night with little light and noise

The Right Sleep Environment

A safe environment is the basis for healthy baby sleep. These expert-recommended measures reduce risks and promote peaceful nights.

• Own bed in the parents' bedroom (bassinet or crib)
• No co-sleeping in the parents' bed
• Firm, breathable mattress
• Room temperature and sleepwear in a balanced ratio so that your child is neither cold nor overheated
• Use breathable sleepwear or sleep sacks
• No loose blankets, soft pillows, or stuffed animals in the child's bed
  
• Always let the child sleep on their back
• Avoid stomach sleeping

With MARY by sticklett you keep an eye on important risk factors such as temperature behavior, breathing, and sleeping position and know your child is sleeping safely.
