What if I hold my baby some nights and don't other nights—does consistency really matter?

Consistency creates a sense of predictability in your baby, which supports their ability to self-soothe during nighttime wakings. Picking them up some nights and not others can confuse your baby—'what will happen tonight?'—and may actually increase wakings. Perfect consistency isn't always possible and that's okay, but establishing a general pattern is more restful for everyone in the long run.
