A newborn’s sleep quality often affects the rhythm of the entire household. Many parents wonder: my baby is clearly tired, so why is falling asleep still so difficult? We interviewed pediatric sleep specialist Dr. Wang, who summarized three things new parents should avoid before bedtime:
Overstimulation or Play: Avoid screen time or active play 30 minutes before sleep to help the brain ease into "rest" mode.
Bright or Noisy Environments: Babies are more sensitive than adults; dim lighting and quiet surroundings help them relax.
Inconsistent Sleep Routines: Changing bedtime routines frequently causes babies to feel insecure about sleep.
Dr. Wang recommends establishing a predictable sleep ritual. A consistent process helps babies associate it with bedtime.
We recommend the Gianna Lullume Smart Baby Sleep Aid, which allows parents to record their soothing voice and combines it with soft lighting and white noise to help babies fall asleep more easily.
Want your baby to fall asleep with ease? A calm, consistent environment might be all you need.
