Hi, my baby needs rocking or nursing to go to sleep, she is nearly 3 months old. When and how can I get her to sleep independently. Also she gets up once or twice in the night depending upon when she has gone to sleep, she sleeps between 4-5 hrs at a stretch at night. When will she be able to sleep through the night

Dear , rocking to sleep is far better than feeding. Also 3 month old acheiving 5 hours is a great sucess u are doing some things right. As her weight increases she will sleep longer jus promise me not to fed her to sleep u will have a 8 hour sleeping baby <u>soon</u>

Here’re some tips to manage with this erratic pattern of sleep:
;
- Babies are just blank slates, you can begin to teach your baby good sleeping habits by establishing a bedtime routine once the baby settles down to the new environment.
;
- As your baby's brain and central nervous system mature, her sleep cycles will get longer and more sleep will occur at night. Most babies adjust to the family timetable in a few months or so.
;
- A newborn cannot eat all that much in a single feed. If you are breastfeeding, the milk gets digested quickly, which means a baby can wake up hungry and ready to fill the belly. So make sure you feed them on demand. A well fed baby, sleeps well too.
;
- Try to nap during your baby's longer stretches of sleep.
;
- You can assist the sleeping process by differentiating day and night atmosphere like creating a calm, dark environment at night, while letting the sunshine in during the day.
;
- During daytime feedings, talk a lot to your baby, while at night feedings, make the surroundings quiet with as little light as possible.
;
- Remove any item from the sleeping area that could potentially suffocate or distract a baby, cause overheating, including blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or quilts.
