A bedtime routine, the same every night

What it is

The same 20–30 minute sequence (bath, story, song, dim lights) — more routine nights mean easier bedtimes and fewer wakings.

every day · from 6w · until 12y

Same sequence, 20–30 min

Always on

1. Pick 3–4 calm steps and keep the order; the routine is the cue, not the clock.
2. From ~6–8 weeks it starts paying; it is never too late to start.
3. At school age it becomes a wind-down: shower, reading, lights low.
