| This
sleep guide assumes that: |
|
| |
|
1.
Your baby is not relying on you or a sleep prop
(breast feed, dummy, bottle, rocking, bouncing,
patting etc.) to 'put' them to sleep
|
| |
|
2.
Your baby is feeding on waking except before
their nighttime feeds
|
| |
3.
Your baby self-soothes and therefore feels safe
to be in their cot
|
