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.
