โจ Create a Bedtime Routine That Actually Works for Newborns โจ
Establishing a gentle bedtime routine helps your newborn feel secure and makes nights calmer for everyone. ๐ค๐ผ
๐ Start with a warm bath: A short lukewarm bath relaxes your baby.
๐งด Baby massage: Use mild, fragrance-free oil to gently massage arms, legs, and tummy.
๐ Quiet cuddle or feeding: Dim the lights and offer a calm feed.
๐ต Soft lullaby or white noise: Helps your baby associate these sounds with sleep.
๐ Consistent sleep space: Place your baby in the crib or bassinet while drowsy but awake.
๐ก Keep it short, soothing, and consistent every night. Babies thrive on predictability, and soon your little one will start connecting these cues with bedtime! ๐ผ
