Waking after 30 minutes, naps and nighttime

Julias Table

Are there any good ways to help baby transition into second stage of sleep?

LO seems to always wake after 30 minutes. For naps and nightime. I am up all night with him trying to get him back to sleep.

Do you swaddle him?

No. Is it too late to start swaddling? he is 3 months old.

i'm in the same situation only my little one is about 3 weeks old and swaddling doesn't work because he squirms out of it.  Help?

White noise (from a sound machine) and darkness work for us, at night.... LO seems to interpret the white noise as a "go back to sleep" cue.  She'll half-wake, and then settle herself again.

 ...And actually, I should take my own advice and try the sound machine + closed curtains for naps, too!  During the day, when she's downstairs with me, she often has trouble with napping.   

Best wishes!

A friend told us that she swaddled until 6 mo and just bought bigger and bigger blankets.  DS hated swaddling when he was younger, but we just started doing it again and he has been sleeping better.  Good luck!
