After all the excitement surrounding the holidays, you may be looking forward to going back to a more normal routine. It’s time to breathe a sigh of relief. Right? The problem is your baby or toddler may not be as excited to return to the way things were after the holidays.
Just remember, it’s okay that naps were at random times or that bedtimes were later at night during the holidays. But now it’s time to get back on track. What happens at Grandma’s house stays at Grandma’s house. Here are a few tips for easing back into your regular routine in the New Year.
Daytime Sleep for Babies
Regular naptimes may have been disrupted during the bustling holiday season, so now it’s challenging to get a baby or toddler back on a regular nap schedule. Try to offer a nap at the same time every day. And don’t worry, resistance is not futile. Continue until naps are back on schedule again. The familiar cues that worked before will work again, whether it’s using the sound machine on a newborn sleep monitor or closing the curtains. Or both. Consistency is key.
Extra Transition Time at Night
Create a calming environment and give everyone extra time for a relaxing bedtime routine. Dim the lights and engage in quiet activities, such as reading or singing lullabies. Maybe a warm bath before lying down will help. It may take a few days for the natural nighttime rhythm to return. If you have an all in one smart baby monitor, you can see your little one on the baby cam or track their sleep data to see how often they wake up. If your baby is waking up frequently, it could be due to changes in their routine over the holidays. Use the app to see what’s different and make adjustments as needed.
Sound Sleep Environment
If you were traveling or staying in unfamiliar places, it can be tough to transition back to the crib or bassinet, but it’s important to go back to a baby’s usual sleep environment. What worked before the holiday rush? Go back to the familiar. Do they have a favorite blanket or soothing nightlight? Make sure the room environment, including the room temperature, is the same as it was before the holidays.
