What to know at this age
- Night feeds are still normal. Some babies start showing one slightly longer stretch at night.
- Watch for sleepy cues: staring into space, jerky movements, yawning, fussing.
- A short, repeatable routine before sleep (feed, change, dim lights) helps set expectations.
Common questions
When does an earlier bedtime appear?
