Your First Night: How to Support Your Baby While They Learn to Sleep 4–6 Months | Day 1 – Part 1
Welcome to Day 1! Tonight marks the beginning of your baby’s journey toward better, more independent sleep—and you’re not doing it alone. Dana Obleman will guide you step-by-step through what to expect and how to gently support your little one as they start building real sleep skills.
In this video, you’ll learn:
– How to follow a consistent bedtime routine: bath, diaper, pajamas, feed, crib
– How to use the “stay in the room” method on Night 1
– Gentle strategies to try (like careful touch or a calming key phrase)
– Why you should avoid picking baby up—unless it’s truly helpful
– What to do if your baby cries (and how to stay strong through it)
🎧 Pro tip: Put in your earphones and listen to calming music if the crying feels overwhelming. You’ve got this—and it will get easier in just a few nights.
