How to restore sleep routine after illness?
⚡ Short answer: During illness, lap sleeping becomes necessary — 3-4 days of consistent transition breaks the habit: place baby half-asleep in bed, stay beside him, soothe with your voice.

My baby slept on me during illness, and now that he's better, he won't sleep in his own bed. How do we restore the routine?

Lap sleeping during illness was a need — now it's become a habit, which is completely natural. A few days of gentle transition will reset things:
Start with daytime naps. When your baby is drowsy (but not fully asleep) and calm, place him in his bed. Stay beside him and touch his back gently, whisper reassurances — let your presence give the same comfort. Within 3-4 days of consistency, most babies accept the new pattern.
If there's no fever or fussiness returning, this gentle approach is enough.
