When the weather gets really chilly or super toasty outside, it’s difficult to know where to set the thermostat. When it’s snowing or below freezing, how warm does it need to be in baby’s nursery? How cool should it be when it's the middle of summer and sweltering? And how can you tell if your little one is too cold or too hot?| What to Expect
Your 3-month-old is constantly changing. Not only is he outgrowing diapers and onesies at a furious pace, but his sleep needs are evolving, too. At this age, you may be wondering if a sleep schedule can help your baby get the rest he needs.| What to Expect
Talk to experienced parents about baby sleep, and the one thing you’ll hear over and over is the importance of establishing an infant sleep schedule.| What to Expect
As they grow, toddlers don’t need as much sleep as they used to, though they do still need to nap. Until around the 18-month-mark, most children log two to three solid hours of sleep during the day, split evenly between a morning nap and an after-lunch nap. Older tots usually ease into one longer afternoon sleep.| What to Expect
Getting a baby to sleep under the best of circumstances can be tricky, but when your little one is overtired, it can be even more difficult.

Maybe your baby’s drooling a little (or a lot), or maybe he’s a bit more irritable than usual. While your little one likely doesn’t understand why he has an itchy chin or an achy mouth, you may be able to assume that baby teeth are on their way. | What to Expect
When it’s time to go to sleep at night, you probably don’t just hop into bed in the clothes you wore all day and turn out the light. Whether you realize it or not, you follow a routine — brush your teeth, wash your face, change into pajamas, and maybe read for a little while before lights out. Like you, your baby can benefit from a consistent and predictable bedtime routine.| What to Expect
If you're worried that your baby might suddenly stop breathing during the night, know that the chances of a child succumbing to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) — which is defined as the sudden and unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant — are very, very small.| What to Expect
Wondering when babies start sleeping through the night and whether your little one will be a "good sleeper"? The answer mostly depends on your baby's age and stage, and whether or not he's learned to self-soothe.| What to Expect
