2. Establish a bedtime routine
As we’ve said before, getting your baby ready for bed at night can mean winning half the battle. Routine is a great time to let your baby know that it’s time for a good night’s sleep. There are no hard rules to follow when it comes to establishing this routine, and every family is different in this case. You can choose to give your baby a bath, and then perhaps a relaxing massage with some baby lotion or oil and a song or story before putting him in his cot or bed.
You can do all of these activities before bedtime, or just some of them. The main idea here is that you have to be consistent. So, if your sleep routine is to sing a song, do it every night, so the baby gets an idea. Repetition is the mother of all good habits! Trust us on this!
