Tip Thursday! Eczema interrupts sleep! Itching can be worse at night. Use moisturizers and meds based on doctor's orders. Cover hands with socks/gloves to stop scratching. Make sure the bedroom is cool, as warmth can make itching worse @NJHealth #babysleep https://t.co/IBTjhIcOoD

Tip Thursday! Our brains thrive on consistent schedules. As best you can, try to keep your child’s bedtime and wake-time about the same, 7 days/week @rileychildrens @iusm #babysleep https://t.co/uTcXtMWv1E

Sleep is one of the three pillars of health. When babies sleep better, parents start feeling better.

@jodimindell We have found this too - telehealth is especially convenient for parents who feel overwhelmed trying to get out of the house with a cranky, tired baby

Report of sleep problems is 4-20% higher in babies with common health issues, such as allergies, eczema, and wheezing. We need to keep asking about sleep!

@kebabby_mae @andy_park Thanks Abby! How old are your kids Andy? Sleep difficulties are usually quite treatable so don’t feel like you have to keep putting up with it. Sometimes a few tweaks and a solid plan is all it takes.

Start your baby’s day with a good dose of natural light - especially helpful if they’re sleepy during the day and partying all night 🙃

[Dr. Jade Wu @jadewuphd]

#ThursdaySleepExplainer #5:

How light can influence your sleep:

Spoiler: I'm not going to tell you to put away your screens in the evening 😉

How much light exposure you get, and WHEN you get it, are possibly the most underrated factors for your sleep health.

Here's why:

1/7

[Melbourne Infant Sleep @InfantMelbourne]

If your baby wakes frequently you may be getting less slow wave sleep, or more interrupted slow wave sleep, causing intense tiredness around the clock. If baby sleep problems are persistent seek help. You’ll feel like a different person when you get your sleep back 😴

[Dr. Jade Wu @jadewuphd]

#ThursdaySleepExplainer #3:

Slow wave sleep 💤

(a.k.a., deep sleep, N3, stage 3 [or 4] sleep, delta sleep)

...is generally described as a "stage" of sleep that takes up ~20% of total sleep. It's important for our health and wellbeing.

What is it and what does it do?
