You can expect your child to wake less during the night. Be less stimulating if your child wakes at night. Change nappies with the lights off, don’t talk, sing or pick your baby up. See if they settle themselves in five minutes; if they don’t, then you can rub their back gently. Some babies will get ‘separation anxiety’ at this age. Be less stimulating, so as not to encourage repeat behaviour. Buy them a nightlight if they’re afraid of the dark.
