💤 Newborn sleep is noisy!
All that grunting, squirming, and wriggling? It’s usually active sleep, not a call out for help. Yep, your baby is likely still asleep!
Here’s the tip: Pause before you respond.
I know it's hard - you are instinctively a good mum, rushing to your baby is natural. But sometimes a pause can make all the difference.
Take a moment to listen and watch—if they settle themselves back down, amazing! 🎉 If they wake up properly, then go to them. It’s not about leaving them to cry; it’s about giving them the chance to connect their sleep cycles.
Rushing in too quickly can lead to shorter naps and more night wakes. But by pausing, you’re helping them (and yourself!) get more sleep.
