Although newborns are still adjusting their sleep rhythm and need a lot of closeness to their parents, starting to create positive associations with the crib can be an important step in helping them learn to fall asleep more independently over time. Here are some tips to help in this process: 1. Establish a calm and consistent routine The routine is essential to signal to the baby that it is time to sleep Sleep is coming. Before putting your baby down, create a calming ritual, such as giving your baby a warm bath, singing a lullaby, reading a quiet story, or giving a gentle massage. Repeating this routine every night will help your baby associate these activities with sleep. 2. Create a calming environment in the room Make sure the crib environment is comfortable and conducive to sleep. The lighting should be low, the ambient noise calm, and the temperature pleasant. For newborns, using a white noise machine can help calm them down, as it mimics the sounds of the womb. 3. Put your baby down in the crib while he or she is still drowsy but awake One of the keys to teaching your baby to fall asleep on his or her own is to get him or her used to falling asleep without relying on rocking or other external stimuli, such as a bottle or breast. After the bedtime ritual, when your baby is drowsy but still awake, gently place him or her in the crib. This helps him or her associate the crib with where he or she falls asleep. 4. Use gradual comforting techniques If your baby cries, this is normal and expected. Instead of picking up your baby right away, try to comfort him while he’s still in his crib. Gently stroke his head, place your hand on his belly, or say soothing words. If he continues to cry, pick him up for a few moments to calm him down, then put him back in his crib. The goal is to gradually reduce his dependence on external stimuli to sleep. 5. Be patient and consistent Learning to sleep is a gradual process. Don’t expect your baby to adapt immediately. The most important thing is to be consistent in your routine and approaches, always respecting your baby’s rhythm. Remember that each child is unique and may take more or less time to get used to sleep. Hugs!
