Here are 6 ways to prep for bedtime so you can both rest easy.
1. Allow plenty of time for bedtime: Start the bedtime routine 30-45 minutes before you'd like baby to be asleep.
2.Set the scene for sleep: Dim the lights and power off all electronics.
3. Give baby a bath or massage (or both!): Bath wash or lotion with lavender or chamomile will help baby feel sleepy.
4. Top off the tank: A nighttime feeding can help fill baby's tummy until morning.
5. Read a bedtime story: Snuggle up for a soothing classic or just look at pictures together.
6. Share a song and a cuddle: Sing lullabies and enjoy a snuggle before bed.
