POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. It’s common for newborns to have their days and nights mixed up, as they’re still adjusting to the world outside the womb. Here are some gentle ways to help:
1. Create a Nighttime Routine: Keep nighttime calm and dark. Dim the lights, lower sounds, and use a soft, soothing voice during feeds and diaper changes at night.
2. Increase Daytime Light and Activity: In the daytime, expose him to natural light, and engage him gently to encourage more wakefulness.
3. Swaddle or Use White Noise: Swaddling can provide comfort, and white noise can mimic the sounds of the womb, helping him settle at night.
4. Keep Nighttime Feedings Quiet and Calm: Try to avoid engaging too much during nighttime feedings so he learns the difference between night and day.
Newborn sleep patterns are irregular, and it may take a few weeks for his sleep to normalize. If sleep remains a challenge, a pediatrician can offer further guidance.
