Is my baby too tired to sleep? Or not tired enough?

If your baby is too tired they may fall asleep within a few minutes but have frequent false starts. There may be lots of crying, they may arch their back and just be inconsolable.

If they aren’t tired enough, they may be having early wake ups in the morning or even split nights. They will take over 30 minutes to fall asleep and rather than take their feed and wind down, will want to play and get down!

Keep an eye on your little ones wake windows but also their sleep cues and see if you need to adjust times slightly to help them sleep.
