What are signs of being undertired?
Recognize undertiredness
If baby is playful at sleep time, extend wake time slightly before starting the routine.
Waiting a little longer before cues made sleep onset easier.
Undertired babies are often chatty, playful in the cot, rolling or moving a lot, and resisting sleep. If that’s your baby at bedtime, try extending the wake window slightly and hold off on starting the routine until you see early sleepiness cues.
Try tonight
- Lengthen the wake period a little.
- Avoid starting the sleep routine too soon.
- Use Raffy’s cues when baby is just starting to show sleepiness.

Raffy the Lifesaver ★★★★★
After hearing about Riff Raff & Co… His Nana bought him a Raffy and I have since purchased a back up… Within minutes of snuggling up to Raffy with the lullaby playing our little boy (5mths) is fast asleep no matter where he is. Thank you for saving me from many sleepless nights and making day time naps at home and on the go a breeze.

My daughter’s best friend ★★★★★
This is the second Raffy I’ve bought… our daughter has self settled from a young age, learnt how to push the lullaby button early on and cuddles Raffy to sleep every night and nap. It’s made transitions to childcare and sleeping in foreign places a breeze… Beautiful quality and washes quite well.

Wish we got this earlier! ★★★★★
We’ve developed some poor sleep habits thanks to the 4-month regression… Riff the fox helps some days/nights with soothing him to sleep… The lullaby seems to help him settle when he’s cranky and the white noise with heart beat helps when he’s drowsy but happy.
