5 Baby Sleep Myths Debunked: What New Parents Need to Know Now!

• Daytime naps often make it harder for babies to sleep through the night, contrary to popular belief.
• Gently waking a baby using the "wake and sleep" technique teaches self-soothing and helps them sleep independently.
• Babies don't need a silent room; they are used to womb noise, and a consistent rumbly sound can aid sleep.
• Most babies do not sleep through the night, typically waking 1-3 times, with awakenings decreasing after one year.
• Not all night wakings are normal; persistent issues could signal underlying health conditions like iron deficiency or GERD.
