DREver wonder😱 if your baby is tired or just fussy?
Babies actually give us little clues when they’re ready for sleep and once you know what to look for, bedtime gets so much easier.
Let me show vou
Here are some of the most common sleepy signals to watch tor:
wilal it means
→ Eye rubbing - Classic tired sign! When the
eyes get heavy, the hands usually follow.
→ Yawning - More than once? They’re probably ready for a nap.
→ Fussiness or crankiness - Sometimes “melt-
down mode” is just a baby saying, “I need sleep!”
→ Glassy eyes / staring into space - That little
dazed look = overtired is coming fast VOu
→ Slower movements - Kicks, wiggles, and play slow down when the tank is empty.
→ Loss of interest - Suddenly ignoring toys or people? It’s time to wind down.
→ Ear tugging, hair pulling, head scratching - For some babies, these are self-soothing sleep cues.
