Nikole Goncalves is a US content creator who shares her “mom life unfiltered” on her TikTok account @healthnutnutrition where she has 13K followers.

The mum to little girl Sage shares parenting insights, including how she put her daughter to sleep, ensuring she would stay asleep all night.

Nikole shared her “top four tips” that helped baby Sage sleep throughout the night. The mum said: “Here are my four tips on how I get my daughter to sleep all night long every single time.”

Tips to get your baby to sleep through the night

Sleep sacks

Sleep sacks are essentially wearable blankets that provide warmth to babies, without restricting them. Nikole said: “We’ve used this since she was six months old. We love that little sleeping bag that zips around them.

“It’s safe because you don’t have to worry about a blanket going over their face, and it also just helps give her a little cocoon feeling.”

There are various options for parents considering sleeping sacks. John lewis sells a back of two Night & Day Print Sleeping Bags for up to 36 months for £30 to £36.

Wake them up before they sleep

It may sound counterintuitive, but Nikole said: “One of my best tips is to make sure baby is awake when you put them down in their crib to go to sleep.

“This is to help if they wake up throughout the night and they’re like startled because they don’t remember where they are because maybe they fell asleep in a different location.

“I know the old saying, don’t wake a sleeping baby but I have actually found the opposite.

If I just wake her up a little bit and then put her in her crib she’ll gently fall asleep and then she won’t get startled when she wakes up and doesn’t know where she is.”

A French parenting hack went viral recently, which will make your baby “sleep through the night at six weeks old” according to the claims. 

The hack is known as “Le Pause”, a phrase coined in Bringing Up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman published in 2012.

She claimed giving babies time to comfort themselves when crying before offering immediate parental intervention helps the youngsters to settle themselves.

Of course, a night of uninterrupted sleep is something most parents of young babies dream of. But, does “le pause” really work? Experts weighed in.
