Baby sleep: routines help, safety comes first
Sleep windows can help organize the day, but back sleeping, a firm mattress, and a safe sleep space still come first.
A predictable routine often helps parents and caregivers notice baby sleep cues more clearly. That does not mean chasing a perfect clock. It means spotting patterns: how long your baby usually stays comfortably awake, how tiredness shows up, and what helps them settle.
At the same time, routines do not replace safety. The most consistent guidance points in the same direction: place babies on their backs to sleep, use a firm mattress, keep the crib free of loose items, and avoid improvised sleep surfaces.
In Tico, sleep features are designed to help you notice patterns without losing sight of the basics. The app can support day-to-day memory, but clinical decisions and persistent sleep concerns still belong in a conversation with your pediatrician.
