High needs baby? Need to rock your baby to sleep? Multiple night wake?

Hi everyone, have you heard about baby sleep consultants? I think baby sleep consultants are not very common in some places. A lot of parents don't have in-depth knowledge about their baby's sleep. Whenever it comes to baby sleep problems, there are always tons of folk's remedies! The most I heard is that the baby will outgrow it or use sarong.

My son was a bad sleeper; short naps and multiple night wakes, you name it. I always thought that he is a high needs baby! Because we had zero knowledge about baby sleep, we rocked him to sleep from the day that he was born. Sometimes I will rock him for almost an hour, and my muscles will be sore like I just came back from the gym!

Besides that, he used to have multiple night wakes. Then, I started researching baby sleep. After a few weeks of research, I finally started sleep training him when he was 4 month old. It was such a relief for me as he finally was able to sleep independently without any help! If I knew about baby sleep before my son was born, I wouldn't suffer as much.

For high needs babies, I think that most of them are just restless babies. My son used to be a high needs baby, but when he is well rested, he can play by himself for more than an hour and he will not be cranky at all!

Sleep is important for both parents and babies. Sleep is a necessity and not a luxury! It's not true that when you become a parent, you have to accept that you will not be able to rest properly.

Sleep is the fundamental building block for a child's development. If your baby does not get enough sleep, it will affect his appetite, immune system, mood, growth, mental development and so on. For adults, lack of quality sleep will not only affect your physical and mental health, it also has a cascading effect on spouse relationships.
