FREE SAMPLE
Baby 0 – 1 year · Sleep and tension
🌿 Not sleeping: ordinary waking or tension?
ORDINARY WAKING (eases with age)
Wakes, feeds and settles in your arms.
Falls asleep within a few minutes of feeding.
Is content during the day and gains weight well.
WAKING FROM TENSION (does not resolve alone)
Wakes with a startle or a scream, not from hunger.
Arches backwards; the body is stiff.
Being held does not help — sleep comes only from exhaustion.
WHAT YOU CAN TRY TODAY (with both)
Put the baby down earlier, not later. An overtired baby falls asleep worse, not better.
Firm swaddling and pressure help more than rocking — the body gets a boundary.
Note down how it wakes. With a startle, or from hunger? That difference is information for a professional.
