Here’s why some experts say the technique can help baby go to sleep and stay asleep.
and teaching babies to become independent sleepers. Schneeberg usually starts to focus on this approach for babies starting around the time they’re 6 months old, but says that you can begin laying the groundwork from birth.Knowing what drowsy but awake looks like and why it’s important is one thing; executing it is quite another. Some babies who are naturally good sleepers may adapt to this technique in a heartbeat, but for most it’s going to take time.
In order for this whole drowsy-but-awake process to work, a consistent bedtime routine is crucial. “You can send a lot of cues that it’s bedtime with a routine that’s the same every night,” advises Schneeberg. “You want to give a lot of thought to two things: how are you concluding the routine, and is baby still fully awake when you put them in the crib?”
Like so many parenting tips out there, the whole drowsy-but-awake line of thinking doesn’t necessarily take into account personality and brain wiring. “Baby’s temperament directly dictates how much capacity they have to go to sleep from drowsy on their own,” argues Gordon.Unfortunately, there’s no magic answer for baby sleep. So before giving up on putting baby to bed drowsy but awake, make sure you’ve given it a real chance.
For babies 6 months and older, Schneeberg follows a similar “check and console” model. Depending on baby’s age and temperament and your comfort level, you can stay in the room or leave and check on them at whatever frequency feels right. If they aren’t settling, parents can pick up baby, soothe them and put them back in the crib calmer but still awake. It may take many rounds of this before baby falls asleep; if it works, then each night should become easier and easier.
