Introducing a Bedtime Routine
When you feel ready and comfortable with your baby, you can introduce a bedtime routine at any time to enjoy with your little one. Some parents introduce a bedtime routine when their baby is three months old and some start straight away. We have some great top tips to help you prepare as we all know that sleep is vital for your baby’s growth and development.
Relaxing Bath time
To help encourage relaxation between you and your baby, it is great to start an hour before bedtime to wind down for the night. A safe warm bath to keep baby feeling fresh and relaxed is a wonderful thing to do together with you and your partner. Baby gets to bond by touch and can have lots of skin-to-skin contact after bath time.
Freshness
Nice fresh nappy and clothes will help your baby feel comfortable, settled, happy and content. Your baby will be feeling calm and ready for cuddles.
Settling to Sleep
It takes time and practice to identify the cues indicating that your baby is feeling tired. Look out for yawning, fussiness, rubbing eyes and jerky movements. Babies are settled by the sound of your voice, gentle lullabies, humming and rhymes. Explore gentle baby massages to help soothe your little one. Gentle rocking and warm cuddles will help to calm them down. Ensure soft lighting is used to prevent over-stimulation whilst you baby settles to sleep.
Temperature
Consider the temperature in your room or your baby’s nursery where they will be sleeping. The room should be between 16-20 degrees Celsius ideally. Babies sleep better when feeling cool but not too warm, not overheated.
