Independent sleep is not about less comfort. It is about teaching a skill that gives your child calm, predictable nights and easier days. We share why this skill supports growth and learning, how to build it gently with you close by, and what to do when a regression hits. Expect simple steps you can start tonight with confidence.

Small frequent snacks can keep days long and nights restless. Use these simple ideas to help your sleepy newborn stay awake long enough for a full feed. Try skin to skin, opening a layer, bright light, diaper breaks, burp pauses, and gentle movement. We also show when to try again, how to protect comfort, and what to expect as intake improves and night sleep extends.
