Baby's Bedtime Ritual

Bedtime is far from over!

Falling asleep can be a challenge for new parents, especially when it comes to getting your newborn to sleep. Fortunately, by establishing a baby sleep routine, you can help your child feel secure and calm before bedtime.

Here are some steps to follow to establish an effective sleep routine for your baby:

Create a regular routine

Babies respond well to routine and feel more secure when they know what to expect. Try to put your baby to bed at the same time every night and follow the same steps before bed.

Get him ready for sleep

An hour or two before bedtime, start slowing down activities and creating a calmer atmosphere . Avoid stimulating games, such as running, and instead encourage calming activities , such as reading stories.

Give a bath

Warm baths can help calm your baby and prepare him for sleep. Be sure to bathe him with warm water and dry him thoroughly.

Establish a bedtime ritual

This might include singing a lullaby, giving him a goodnight kiss, and putting him to bed. Try to do this at the same time every night to reinforce the routine .

Be patient

Babies may have trouble falling asleep and may cry for a short time. If your baby has trouble falling asleep, stay close to him and offer gentle comfort until he falls asleep.

By following these simple steps, you can help your baby feel safe and calm before bed. With a little patience and persistence , you can create a bedtime routine that works for your baby.
