Bedtime routines are good for babies and their parents. It’s a special time for bonding and settling down before sleep – and the consistency can help babies relax.

Massage on arms - from forming a ring with your thumb and forefinger and go from the shoulder to the hand. Massaging palm circular motion. Separating fingers and make small movements in joints.

Respond to your baby when he or she cries. Soothing your baby helps both of you feel better. When your baby is crying, check for these needs first.

An important part of good parenting is providing a safe home for your child. Remove soft pillows, large stuffed animals, bumper pads, and soft bedding from the baby’s crib.
