Summer Sleep Tips for Babies and Toddlers
Summer is on its way at last and it’s all about brighter, warmer and longer days. If you have a baby or toddler, it can be tricky and difficult getting your little ones to adapt to the changes. Here are some summer tips to help your little one sleep for longer.
Keep the room dark
The summer sunrises and evening sunsets influence your baby’s circadian rhythm. What this means is that once it’s light, your baby or toddler will wake naturally. It is much harder for them to get to sleep if the room is still bright. Consider blackout blinds which can help to keep the room nice and dark.
Keep your baby cool
Heat is another factor which can cause your little one to wake in summer. Cotton bedding is the best in the summer months for helping everyone to stay cool. Select cotton sheets and, if using a quilt, go for one with a lower TOG rating.
Keep the room quiet
It is lovely in summer to open the windows wide and let fresh air circulate through your home. On the other hand, open windows also mean a lot of noise from traffic and other noise which can disturb your little one’s sleep. A white noise sound or lullabies can help to filter out these noises which might startle your baby awake. VTech soothers and monitors have an array of relaxing sounds to choose from.
Keep to the bedtime routine
It can be very tempting to let your littles one’s bedtime routine slip in summer, especially if you are on holiday. When a child’s routine is changed, it may cause minor irritability and confusion. If you can, keep some of your bedtime routine in place. Settling down for a bath, a bedtime story and cuddles. Keeping a similar routine will help to stimulate sleep cues and will help them to wind down for the evening.
