Start a bedtime ritual

Most children: 6w–2m 23d

What it is

A short, same-every-night sequence (bath, feed, song, dim light) that signals sleep.

Start preparing

1. Pick 3–4 steps you can repeat every night, 20–30 minutes total.
2. Same order, same words, same dim room; finish with the baby drowsy but awake when possible.
3. Day: bright light and activity; night: dim, quiet, boring feeds.
