Baby Tired Signs

A newborn can go from tired to over-tired in an incredibly short time. Missing the tired signs and delaying bedtime by even 5 to 10 minutes can make it much harder to settle your baby. Recognising when your baby is tired is an essential skill. These are the cues that it's time to stop whatever you are doing and get your baby swaddled and into bed ASAP! During the day, babies up to 6 weeks old will generally show tired signs about an hour after waking. Remember this awake time includes your feeding, nappy changing and all other awake activities so it can pass in a flash. So start looking for tired signs about 50 minutes after waking.
