Dr. Marc Weissbluth's “Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child” offers age-specific sleep strategies. • For newborns to 6 weeks, parents should follow the child's lead and soothe them to sleep around the two-hour awake mark. • From 6 weeks to 4 months, establish a bedtime routine and put the baby down before they become overtired. The same applies for 4 to 12 months, with the addition of a sleep schedule. • For 12 months to 2 years, maintain a bedtime routine, recognize drowsy signs, and practice parental presence at bedtime. • For children 2 years and up, continue the above while encouraging them to sleep in their own bed.
