When baby hasnt napped well during the day do a good wind down routine then move your babys bedtime up 30 minutes or even an hour. Overtired baby constantly cries kicking with her little legs hitting with hands and usually cant calm down very easily. Swaddling can soothe a fussy overtired baby and help her get some sleep.

Use a thin receiving blanket or a specially designed swaddling blanket to keep your babys upper body wrapped tight and cozy. Ensure you can still slip your fingers in between her chest and the blanket to avoid interfering with her breathing. Signs of an Overtired Baby Most signs of an overtired baby are quite obvious.

How do I know if my child is overtired. Restorative sleep occurs when baby is able to transition from active to passive sleep for naps that are typically one to two or three hours. It is typical that an overtired baby despite the tiredness cant fall asleep. Keep in mind too that sleep regression is temporary. When your baby is overtired she is so physically fatigued that her bodys stress-response system is activated. Even if they manage to nod off they wake soon after and struggle to get off again.
