Baby sleep: routine and tips for peaceful nights

Baby sleep is one of the main concerns for new parents. Fragmented nights, frequent awakenings, difficulty falling asleep... TrioNest™ gives you all the keys to establish a soothing routine and promote more peaceful nights.

🛌 Understanding baby sleep

Baby sleep is very different from adult sleep. Their cycles are shorter (45-60 min vs. 90 min for adults) and they spend more time in light sleep. This is normal and physiological—not a problem to be solved.

• 0-3 months: 14-17 hours of sleep per day, no circadian rhythm yet
• 3-6 months: nights start to consolidate, 12-15 hours of sleep
• 6-12 months: 2 naps per day, 10-12 hour nights with some awakenings
• 12-24 months: 1-2 naps, longer and more stable nights

🌙 Establishing an evening routine

Routine is the key to peaceful sleep. It signals to baby that night is approaching. Here's an example of an effective routine:

• 🛁 Bath: soothing, it lowers body temperature and promotes sleep
• 🍼 Feeding: bottle or breastfeed in a calm environment
• 📖 A story or a song: soft voice, dim light
• 👋 Separation ritual: kiss, comfort object, good night

🌡️ The ideal sleep environment

• Temperature: 18-20°C (64-68°F) in the room
• Darkness: blackout curtains for naps and summer
• White noise: can help some babies fall and stay asleep
• Sleeping bag: TOG adapted to the season, no duvet before 2 years old
• Night light: warm, soft light for night awakenings

💤 Tips for promoting sleep

• Put baby to bed awake but drowsy so they learn to fall asleep on their own
• Respect signs of fatigue (rubbing eyes, yawning, staring blankly)
• Don't wait until baby is too tired—over-tiredness makes falling asleep more difficult
• Maintain regular schedules even on weekends

⚠️ Sleep safety: absolute rules

• Always put baby to sleep on their back
• Firm, flat bed, no bumper pads, no pillow, no stuffed animals before 1 year old
• Sleeping bag instead of duvet
• Room at 18-20°C (64-68°F)
• No smoking in the environment
