Ask the Expert: 🤱🏻💤⭐ Paano Pahabain ang Tulog ni Baby? Baby Sleep Shaping & Associations🎵👶🏻�

Hey there - my area of expertise is sleep and not colic but I’m sure you can discuss this with your medical professional if you are concerned

Hello - sleep shaping is something that you can start to do with new borns until they are four months old and go through the sleep regression when they get a circadian rhythm. It is getting them ready for being independent sleepers. Sleep training is teaching a little one who to independently sleep.

Swaddling is safe if done correctly and if you adhere to guidelines eg you stop when baby can turn over etc. it is effective for some babies and not others - it sounds like it isn’t something your little one likes so I would say you can stop trying to use it as one of your sleep aids.

A baby at this age should ideally be sleeping 12-16 hours in a 24 hour period. I think you should try and encourage more sleep in the day or baby will suffer with over tiredness, which will then mean they sleep less due to excess cortisol (the wake hormone) in their body. Maybe try getting him to sleep in motion eg in a stroller - you want to think of opportunities to ensure he is getting as much sleep as possible

Hello - you can restructure your little ones day so they are sleeping and waking according to a schedule that works for you. A typical routine for a 5 month old could look like this : 1. 3 naps a day 2. Each nap should be between 1-2 hours 3. They should be awake for about 2 hours between naps 4. Bedtime between 7 and 8pm 5. Nighttime sleep 10-12 hours 6. Total sleep in a 24 hour period 12-15 hours If you need any help adjusting your little ones schedule them please email me at [email protected]
