As new parents, getting your baby to sleep through the night can feel like a distant dream – imaginable but somehow unobtainable.
That’s why we’ve put together a few key sleep tips and products that will help create a natural, healthy environment for your baby, so you can set them up for an optimal – and hopefully lengthy – sleep.
Establishing a Healthy Sleep Routine
Consistent Bedtime Routine
For adults and babies alike, the key to quality sleep lies in consistency. A proper bedtime routine is crucial for signaling to your baby that it’s time to wind down and prepare for slumber. This routine can involve several calming activities, including a warm bath that can be soothing and help relax your baby, or a bedtime story for quiet time, or gentle rocking – a time-tested favorite for comforting your little one and signaling their brain that it’s time to sleep.
Encourage Daytime Naps
Daytime naps are vital for a baby’s sleep routine, as they help prevent overtiredness, which can disrupt their nighttime sleep. To optimize naptime, look for your baby’s sleepy cues, such as yawning, rubbing eyes, or fussiness and pay attention to wake windows: typically, babies have shorter wake windows between naps, so it’s important to put them down to sleep before they become overtired.
The Importance of a Healthy Sleep Environment
Choosing the Right Crib Mattress

Why Optimal Sleep is Crucial for Your Baby
Quality sleep is paramount for the growth and development of infants. During sleep, the brain processes the day’s learning and experiences. The LaLa crib mattress is designed not only to support physical development but also to ensure that your baby gets the rest they need to grow healthy and strong.
Additional Tips for Ensuring a Good Night’s Sleep for Your Baby
- Keep the room cool and comfortable. A room temperature between 68-72°F (20-22°C) is considered optimal for sleeping babies.
- Using a sound machine that produces a gentle, steady sound can help mask household noises that might wake your baby.
- Keep track of sleep times and behaviors, so you can adjust routines and strategies to better meet your baby's needs.
By following these tips and investing in a quality crib mattress, you can help your baby experience a restful and restorative sleep routine. Remember, the goal is to create a serene, healthful sleep environment that encourages restful nights – right from the start.
