Babies thrive on predictability and routine. Their little worlds are full of action and stimulation, but providing a consistent routine offers safety and security.
A bedtime routine provides a transition between awake time and sleep time, cueing a baby’s brain that sleep is coming. Research shows us that babies and children who have a consistent bedtime routine:
-Are able to fall asleep more quickly.
-Have fewer night wakings.
-Are more consistent sleepers.
A bedtime routine that includes special connection time between you and your baby also provides loving reassurance around sleep and can encourage a secure attachment.
