Baby sleep, settling and wrapping

Babies do not function like clockwork, but that does not stop many parents from trying to develop a routine. In the first 4 to 6 weeks, most babies will demand their needs be met immediately with little regard for any routine!

Here, we aim to provide you with tips on wrapping, settling and getting your baby to sleep. We include information on baby sleep cues and associations, sleep and wake patterns, and settling techniques for babies who cry a lot.
