Hey business moms! I know how tough it can be to juggle your work and still make sure your baby is well-rested. But guess what? You don’t have to choose between thriving at work and helping your baby sleep better.
With a few adjustments, you can have both! Here are five tips that can help you get more done while keeping your baby’s sleep on track. 💼👶
1. Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine
Creating a predictable bedtime routine will help your baby recognize that it’s time to wind down. Whether it's a warm bath, a short story, or a favorite lullaby, doing the same activities in the same order every night signals to your baby that sleep is coming. Consistency is key!
2. Maximize Naps to Improve Nighttime Sleep
Daytime sleep plays a huge role in how well your baby sleeps at night. Don’t skip or rush naps! Making sure your baby gets quality nap time can lead to longer and more restful nights—giving you the peace of mind to focus on your business during the day.
3. Create a Calming Pre-Sleep Environment
Your baby’s sleep space should feel calm and relaxing. Dim the lights, eliminate noise distractions, and keep the room at a comfortable temperature. A peaceful environment helps babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer—allowing you to catch up on work or unwind yourself!
4. Use a Sleep Schedule That Fits Your Work Routine
It’s all about finding a balance between your baby’s natural sleep patterns and your workday. Whether you work from home or have a more structured office schedule, try to create a sleep schedule that works with your routine. This way, you can tackle your to-do list while your baby is sleeping, without the guilt of neglecting either your business or your baby.
5. Be Patient with Progress, and Celebrate Small Wins
Remember, sleep improvements take time. Be patient with the process and celebrate the small wins along the way. Every extra minute of sleep your baby gets (and every extra minute you get!) is progress. Don’t stress about perfection; it’s all about progress, mom!
