5 bedtime routine for your baby

1. A soothing bath 

A soothing bath 90 minutes to an hour before bedtime helps trigger sleep. A warm bath stimulates blood circulation to your baby’s hands, feet and extremities

2. Gentle massage

3. Reading books

The magic of a good story extends to sleep. Slowing down and reading a book to your baby begins the ramp-it-down process that leads to better sleep.

4. Final feeding - 

Nobody sleeps well with a grumbling tummy. Feeding your baby about 15 minutes before they head to their crib can help make them a little drowsy.

5. Sing a song 

Lullabies date to ancient times, and there’s a reason why gentle, melodic verses like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” continue to be a bedtime staple: Calming music leads to ZZZs

6. Keep them cozy
