• Check the environment - a little one's rooms need to be dark, playing white noise + be swaddled or in a sleep bag and including a comforter for an ideal environment 
   
• Room temperature - 19-22 degrees is a perfect room temperature with a swaddle or sleep bag
   
• Awake times - stick to age appropriate awake times. You can refer to our age appropriate routine here for ideal awake times. 
   
• Weaning overnight feeds - a big link between frequent overnight wakes is the need to night wean. Redirecting a little one to replenish all their calories during the day will reduce night wakes. You can read about how to start night weaning on our blog here. 
   
• Wind down routine consistency - ensure that every night the wind down routine is close to the same!
   
• Bring bedtime forward - if you're finding bedtime resistance and day nap resistance start with an earlier bed time! 

I just want you to know that you are not alone in your challenges right now. All around the world, no matter what time it is I can guarantee you there are mothers just like you googling for answers, scrolling through their phones just trying to stay awake, night lights switched on on as they feed and rock their baby in a dark and silent house.
