Winter Bedtime for Baby: The Best Cozy Baby Vibes

There is never a bad time of year to welcome a baby, but their needs might change a smidge depending on the season. As you get into the winter months, you can easily keep newborns and young babies comfortable in their rooms with a few simple practices, including using a baby sleep monitor. The following tips will not only help you create a pleasant environment, but they will also help you maintain that space for a cozy baby bedtime.

Dress Baby Appropriately 

Even before bringing your little one home, you’re choosing cute footie pajamas and deciding between zips or snaps (zippers are the easiest for nighttime diaper changes). Your baby’s sleepwear is not dependent on your preferences alone. You need to dress them in sleepwear that’s considered appropriate for the temperature in their room. Appropriate sleepwear includes snug-fit pajamas like footie styles, well-wrapped swaddles, and sleep sacks.

Learn About T.O.G.  So, how do you know if your baby is too cold or too warm in the beginning? Over 50 years ago, research and textile tests were conducted that are now used by parents and sleep manufacturers to determine the weight and insulation levels of baby clothes and sleep sacks. It’s the sleepwear’s T.O.G. rating. Thermal overall grade (T.O.G) for infant sleepwear ranges from 0.2 to 3.5, and the one you choose will depend on the temperature of your nursery or baby sleep area.

Know the Nursery Temperature

Whether your baby sleeps in their own room or in a bassinet beside your bed, the room temperature impacts the comfort of the sleep environment. During winter, your home may fluctuate a lot in room temperature, but keeping track and maintaining a consistent temperature between 68 and 72 will help your baby rest well. A smart baby monitor with a hub you can keep beside the crib or bassinet can help you monitor the room's temperature, ensuring it aligns with the T.O.G. rating for your baby’s sleepwear.

Invest in a Wellness Monitor

When it’s time to choose a baby monitor, look for an option that has the baby cam and a smart monitor device. Baby smart monitors can include the hub mentioned above and a smart sensor that accurately tracks your little one’s heart rate, oxygen levels, and skin temperature. Together, these devices provide a more complete picture of your baby’s wellness. With compassionate tech like modern wellness monitors, you can track information using an app that allows you to set ranges for the room temperature, heart rate and skin temperature measurements, and more. When the sensors detect readings outside of those ranges, the app will notify you so you can take appropriate action.

Bedtime for your baby is about more than just a cozy sleep space. It sounds cute, but it’s actually a subject that concerns their overall well-being. Researching and choosing a monitoring system that works for you will give you peace of mind and help your little one adjust well to sleeping as they grow.

Cozy Baby Sleep Environment Essentials

Babies need a lot of sleep. Their bodies, brains, and worlds are growing. Initially, it might feel like sleep schedules are a series of naps at all hours of the day and night. That’s normal. The most important thing you can do is create a secure space for your little one to get the rest they need. Today, you can find out what contributes to a comfortable sleep space for your baby that promotes overall well-being.

Start with the Environment 

Before you go all-out on decorating your baby’s room, start with the basics. Your baby needs a flat surface to sleep on, with sides like crib slats or those on a bassinet. As your baby grows, lower the height of the mattress so the sides of the crib rise. During this time, keep the crib clear of soft items like stuffed animals until the baby is at least 12 months old.

You should keep the room or home temperature at a setting that matches their sleepwear's thermal overall grade (T.O.G) value. A baby temperature monitor in your baby’s nursery can track temperature and humidity changes—the temperature of the room is very important. Sleeping in a room that is too hot or too cold or overdressing and underdressing are dangerous for babies.

Research Your Baby Monitor 

Don't forget the baby monitors when you’re excited about decorating the nursery. They’re also worthy of excitement. A baby sleep monitor with a camera is crucial for parents who sleep in a different room from their baby, and some monitors are even beneficial for parents who keep their little one’s bassinet next to their bed.

If you want all the information you can get, choose a monitor with sleep data tracking and support. An advanced baby monitor can track heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature, room temperature, and room humidity. It can also provide a built-in sound machine, two-way communication, and a nightlight. These fantastic features may provide reassurance for parents and help cultivate a calming sleep space for the whole family.

Learn the Best Sleep Position

There is a lot of information on safe infant sleep habits, which you can learn from pediatricians and infant sleep experts like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). You can also invest in a baby monitor that tracks personalized sleep data. Still, one of the best ways to promote optimal sleep is through a baby’s sleep position. The best way to put your baby in their space is to rest them on their back—even when they’re old enough to flip by themselves.

A newborn can’t always control their body, certainly not the way an adult or even a six-month-old baby can do it. When your baby can roll over independently, their brain has developed enough to adjust sleeping positions if they are uncomfortable. Until then, your baby may not be able to turn away from spit-up or the mattress on their own, so sleeping on their back is the most secure.

When it comes to safe sleep for infants, follow the recommendations of the AAP, which include putting the baby on its back to sleep and keeping the crib or bassinet clear of blankets, pillows, and toys. If it gives you peace of mind, invest in a baby oxygen monitor that tracks data, monitors environmental changes, and lets you check in on your little one with a high-quality camera.

New Year, New Baby: Goals for the New Parent

New year, new you takes on a whole new meaning as a new parent. You may have very different goals from the ones you envisioned in prior years—and before your new baby. Creating a comfortable environment for your little one is now at the top of your goals. This precious life you brought into your home deserves everything you can give it. As someone navigating a new phase of life and diligently watching a baby cam every night, setting achievable goals can help you build confidence and create a positive space for your baby’s development.

Goal #1: Cozy Sleep 

There’s a lot to say about the importance of sleep. The first three to six months of being a parent can look like you have a little baby bean attached to you, and you love that (mostly). Still, separate sleeping schedules are inevitable. While you are content to enjoy those sweet contact naps in the beginning, for which you are fully awake, you want to encourage sleep habits that work for your lifestyle. That means you need to create a comfortable and secure sleep environment.

Your baby should have a flat surface where they sleep on their back without nearby obstructions like pillows, stuffed animals, and blankets. This space could be a crib or a bassinet. If your baby sleeps in their own room, a baby monitor lets you know when they wake up.

Your baby monitor can be a simple camera or a more advanced system. An all-in-one baby monitor can track heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature changes, room temperature, and humidity. It may even have a sound-machine function. These advanced systems are convenient and informative, helping you create a comfortable sleep space while giving you peace of mind. You’ll know when your baby wakes up, and you’ll also know when there are any significant changes to their surroundings or vitals.

Goal #2: Bonding with Your Baby

Most parents can bond with their babies in the first weeks after bringing them home, especially if they use parental leave. Bonding can look like contact naps, playtime, singing them songs (letting your baby hear your voice), or showing them around the home and outside area. In the earliest parts of parenthood, bonding is spending time with your little one—you don’t have to overthink it.

Goal #3: Prioritizing Mental Health

Parenthood is a new phase of life that brings many physical and mental changes to your routines, habits, comfort levels, work, and social life. It’s a big change. Prioritizing your mental health is crucial when taking care of your little one. In order to do so, make sure you do what you must to create space for yourself. You may have a high-quality smart baby monitor, but you’re also your own mommy or daddy baby monitor. When you’re using a baby monitor that alerts your phone to any changes, from your baby waking up to changes in oxygen levels, you can focus on yourself for a little bit, whether that means taking time to listen to your favorite podcast or even scheduling an appointment for yourself with a healthcare provider.

Setting goals as a new parent can feel simple with some tips like these. Achievable goals that support a healthy home environment are the best way to enter the new year with you and your little one.
