A healthy sleep is an indispensable element of a correct baby's development. What can we do to provide our baby with a healthy sleep? There are some rules worth following.

Before we put our baby to sleep, it is good to air the baby's room out. The fresh air and a slightly cooled room will help the baby fall asleep earlier. It is not allowed to put too thick clothes on the baby. Overheating the baby is the most frequent mistake which new mums make. The baby should be dressed appropriately to the temperature. On warm days, it is possible to cover the baby with a thin air permeable blanket. The baby's cot should be placed neither near the window nor close to the radiator.

If a baby wakes up at night, it is important not to switch on any intense light to avoid waking him up completely.

In summer, it is worth mounting a mosquito net in windows so as to make it impossible for insects to enter the room where the baby is asleep.

It is important to ensure that there is peace and quiet at night when the baby is asleep.

If a baby wakes up too often or has problems with falling asleep, it is worth checking if the mattress on which the baby sleeps is comfortable. It should not be too hard or too soft as it can have an influence on the quality of the baby's sleep and on his health.
