5 Tips for the Perfect Nighttime Routine

June 27, 2022

As a new parent, you may have been told about the importance of sleep routines for your newborn. With so much information out there, it is often very difficult to narrow down the tips and tricks that will work for you and your baby's sleep schedule.

Routines are important for both babies and parents. They help to create a sense of calm and peace in the household while also preparing your baby for sleep. There are many benefits to having a nighttime routine for your baby. It can help your baby to wind down from the day, feel more secure, and sleep more soundly through the night.

A nighttime routine is best when it is kept simple. The most important thing is that it is consistent and calming for your baby. Here are some tips to get you started:

What Do You Need for the Perfect Nighttime Routine?

1. Consistency

The most important factor for baby sleep is consistency. You should begin this routine about 6-8 weeks after birth so the baby has time to develop an understanding of the rhythm. Keep the same bedtime and naptime routine every day. This will help your baby know when it's time to sleep and make it easier for them to fall asleep.

You don't need to do anything fancy to create a good sleep routine for your baby. Even if you just rock your baby for a few minutes and read a book, that can be enough to help them relax and fall asleep. Keep it simple!

2. Proper Timing

It's important to keep track of your baby's natural sleep patterns and put them to bed at the right time. Most babies need about 14-15 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. You can figure out when your baby's longest sleep window is by keeping a sleep log. This will help you know when to put your baby down for their naps and nighttime sleep.

Every baby is different so make sure you are tailoring the sleep routine to your child. Begin your nighttime routine when they usually sleep the longest. That may differ for each baby.

3. The Right Atmosphere

Your baby's sleep environment should be dark, quiet, and cool. A sound machine can help drown out any outside noise that might keep your baby awake. For maximum safety, your baby should always sleep alone. There should be no blankets or other objects in their crib with them.

The back is the best sleeping position for babies. Your child should be sleeping in their own crib with a firm, flat mattress, and a fitted sheet.

4. The Right Sleep Clothing

Dress your baby in comfortable sleep clothing that is not too loose or too tight. Avoid dressing them in clothes with buttons or snaps as these can be uncomfortable.

A perfect option for clothing is the magic sleepsuit. Designed for comfort, safety, and swaddle transitioning, the magic sleepsuit helps babies sleep more soundly.

5. The Same Place Every Time

Your baby should always sleep in the same place, preferably in their own crib or bassinet. This will help them associate sleep with a particular place and make it easier for them to fall asleep on their own.
