If she wakes: the 3 AM ladder
- Pause 1–2 minutes. Listen first. A lot of fussing settles on its own.
- Minimal help. A hand on her chest, a quiet shush. Don't pick up yet.
- Check the basics. Too warm? Wet diaper? Hungry? Fix it, keep lights low.
- Full comfort. Pick up, feed if hungry, calm her fully, then try again. No failure in this.
Before you put her down: 5-second safety check
- On her back, every sleep, every nap.
- Empty crib: firm flat mattress, fitted sheet, nothing else.
- Cool room, about 64–68°F (18–20°C). Sleep sack, no loose blankets.
- Your room, her own bed for at least the first 6 months.
- Never a sofa, armchair or inclined seat for sleep.
Worried right now? If your baby seems unresponsive, is struggling to breathe, has blue or grey lips, or you just feel something is wrong: don't wait and don't test it yourself. Call 911 or your pediatrician's after-hours line.
