Sleep at 3–6 months: routines that work

Between months 3 and 6 many babies start sleeping for longer stretches at night.

• Light by day, dark by night — it sets the body clock.
• The same routine every evening: warm bath, massage, feed, sleep.
• Put baby down drowsy, not fully asleep — they learn to settle themselves.
• Physical activity by day — floating in hydrotherapy tires muscles in a healthy way.

Short regressions are normal around developmental leaps.
