Start the bedtime routine at the same time each night. Give your baby a bath and put on their pajamas. Dim the lights and ensure that the room is quiet. Read a bedtime story and sing a lullaby. Put your baby in their crib while they are drowsy but awake.
Consistency is key when teaching your baby good sleep habits. Put your baby to bed at about the same time every night. This will help your baby to associate sleep with a specific time of night and make the process easier for both of you. For example, you might put your baby to bed at 7:30pm each night. Don’t change their bedtime on certain days of the week. Keep it the same every day, including the weekend. Something as simple as giving your baby a bath and getting them into their pajamas can help them to understand that it is time to go to sleep. Do this at the beginning of your baby’s bedtime routine so that they will associate these activities with winding down.  Use calming bath products, such as a lavender scented soap and lotion. You could also give your baby a soothing massage with baby lotion after their bath. Dress your baby in pajamas that are appropriate for the season, such as warm fleece pajamas in winter or lightweight cotton pajamas during the summer. After your baby is in their pajamas, don’t take them out of the bedroom or do anything to stir them up. Dim the lights, turn on a night light, and play some soft music to help your baby calm down. Ask other household members to keep quiet during your baby’s bedtime routine since noises in the hallway or in other rooms may disturb your baby.  After your baby is in their pajamas, avoid letting them play with stimulating toys or playing games with them. Keep your voice low and calm when you speak to them and don’t talk too much. Another way to start calming your baby down for bedtime is to read them a story and sing a calming lullaby while you hold them. Make this a standard part of your baby’s bedtime routine. Over time, your baby will begin to associate these activities with sleep. For example, you could read your baby Goodnight Moon and sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” every night to help them get sleepy. While it can be tempting to rock and cuddle your baby to sleep each night, this may lead to sleep issues later on. Your baby will start to depend on you to fall asleep, and they may have trouble falling asleep again if they wake up in the night. Instead, wait until your baby seems drowsy and close to falling asleep, and then place them into their crib. Always place your baby in their crib on their back! This decreases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). When your baby is able to roll over on their own, they will adjust their position in bed to get comfortable.
