The 5-minute bedtime ritual babies love
A simple, repeatable routine that tells your little one: it's time to rest. · 3 min read
Minute 1: Dim the lights
Turn down the lights and lower your voice. This is your baby's first cue that the day is winding down.
Minute 2: Fresh diaper & pajamas
A clean diaper and soft pajamas help your baby feel comfy and ready for sleep.
Minute 3: A gentle massage
Slowly rub your baby's arms, legs and tummy. It's calming and a lovely moment of closeness.
Minute 4: A song or short story
Use the same lullaby or little book every night. Repetition is soothing for tiny brains.
Minute 5: Cuddle and lay down
Give a last cuddle, then place your baby down drowsy but awake. Over time, this helps them learn to fall asleep on their own.
Keep it the same
The magic is in doing it the same way, at the same time, every night. Even on busy days, these 5 minutes go a long way.
