How to make newborn sleep at night?

Our little one sleeps fine during the day but is up every hour at night. My husband and I are exhausted! We really need some advice on how to make our newborn sleep through the night.

Make sure the baby isn't crying due to silent reflux or gas, which I ignored initially in my son. If the baby is constantly fussy and unable to sleep, get them checked by a pediatrician.

Our doctor told us that infants don't produce melatonin until they are a few months old. He suggested keeping daylight bright and night-time absolutely dark to help them set their body clock.

This phase of waking up every few hours is very brief, though it feels exhausting now. Swaddle them gently and take turns with your partner so both of you get some rest.

Haan na, starting days are so tough when they stay awake all night. Just try swaddling them snugly and play light white noise, they feel like they are inside the womb, ho na?

Developing a consistent sleep routine with warm baths and dim lights really helps baby's sleep. However, every infant is unique, so consult your pediatrician to understand their developmental needs.

A light evening walk with the baby in a stroller can help them get some fresh air and sleep better at night. Just make sure your doctor is fine with outdoor walks for the baby.
