Create a Predictable Sleep Routine
Routines provide your baby with a sense of security and reduce stress, both at home and at daycare. They help your little one fall asleep more easily and give you as a parent some peace of mind. The earlier you start thinking about this, the easier it will be to implement. Simple examples of bedtime rituals include:
- Feeding, cuddling, singing a song, reading a book, or choosing a favorite stuffed animal
You can already start planning how these rituals will look. When routines at home and at daycare are similar, your baby adjusts more quickly to new sleep environments and feels safe and secure.
Small Habits at Home Make a Big Difference
Even before your baby is born, you can start thinking about small routines that will help with sleep later on:
- Prepare a safe sleep environment
- Choose a favorite cuddly toy or cloth for your baby to get used to
- Plan moments of rest for yourself
These preparations make the transition easier for both your baby and you.
Don’t Forget Yourself
A well-rested parent can care for their child better. Start thinking now about how you want to organize nights and rest periods once your baby arrives. Small moments of rest, like a short nap or a relaxing evening routine for yourself, can make a big difference for your energy and well-being.
