Should my house be absolutely quiet for my baby?

It's generally recommended that babies sleep in a dark room. Darkness helps to signal to your baby that it's time for sleep, and it can also help to regulate their circadian rhythm. A dark room can also help to reduce distractions and noise, making it easier for your baby to fall asleep and stay asleep. It's important to note that darkness does not mean completely dark, a small night light can be used for safety reasons and for checking on your baby without disturbing their sleep.
