🥱 Spotting your baby's tired cues
Follow tired cues rather than rigid wake-window targets.
Your game plan
1. What to prepare
Reduce stimulation when baby looks away, yawns or becomes unsettled. Offer a calm wind-down and check hunger and comfort.
2. What to check
Use a clear cot and back sleeping; do not withhold feeds to achieve a schedule. Marked sleepiness or difficulty waking needs assessment.
