A quick tip – keep a baby sleep log!

Today is a quick tip to help you track how much sleep your baby is getting each day on average.

Why not keep a log of your baby’s sleep times.  You will need to log when baby goes to sleep, when baby wakes up, nap times and lengths, You will need to do this for about 1-2 weeks.  Once you have completed your log add up the total time that your baby has slept and this will give you the average amount of sleep your child gets in a 24 hour period.  You can then use this average as a guide for planning schedules and guesstimating your baby’s wake times etc.

You may need to repeat this log every couple of months as a babys sleep needs change as they get older.
