What If My Baby Cries After Being Put Down? It’s normal for babies to cry when settling for a nap. During the first month, don’t let your baby cry for too long. Try soothing them by singing softly, playing gentle music, or rocking them. By four months, if your baby cries after being put in their crib, check on them briefly and offer comforting words. Then leave the room and give them time to self-soothe. You might also consider putting them down a little earlier to prevent overtiredness. Additionally, remember that babies often move, smile, startle, or fidget while sleeping. It’s easy to misinterpret these movements as waking up or hunger cues. Instead of picking them up immediately, wait a few minutes to see if they settle back to sleep. Helping your baby nap well isn’t always easy, and some days will be more challenging than others. Watch for your baby’s sleep cues and try to maintain a consistent nap schedule. If you have concerns about your baby’s naps, consult their doctor for guidance.
