Overtired babies can be incredibly hard to calm down and to get to sleep. Overtired babies also have a harder time staying asleep once they are able to finally settle down. It sounds so contradictory, but overtired babies simply won't sleep well.
How do you get an overtired baby to sleep?
- Swaddle – deep pressure.
- Rock her – vestibular calming effect.
- Hold her – touch.
- Feed her but not all the way to sleep – taste.
- Make the room dark – visual.
- Play white noise – sound.
Can overtired babies catch up on sleep?

An overtired baby might crash at night, sleeping usually long periods without demanding feedings owing to physical exhaustion that occurs as a result of not receiving enough sleep during the day. Or she might occasionally have catch-up sleep during the day instead.
