Sleep challenges are common, and even the most attentive parents can miss the signs of a tired baby.
What “Normal” Baby Sleep Really Looks Like
There is no normal when we talk about babies' sleep. But there are patterns that help us understand when they are resting, and when they are not.
An tired infant may look wide-eyed and alert, but underneath, their nervous system is on overdrive. Some common signs your baby might not be getting enough quality sleep include: (see more in Signs and Causes of Overtired Babies):
Short naps that never seem to stretch
Fussiness or meltdowns around the same times each day
Frequent night waking after bedtime
Seeming too tired to feed properly
These signs don’t mean you’re doing something wrong. They just mean your baby may need a little extra support getting the rest they need.
