"My Sleepytime routine is ideal for establishing an early routine and will set good sleep habits through toddlerhood and beyond!"

  1. Go into the baby’s room and pop a few drops of Sleepytime Room Aroma into a bowl of warm water. It will fill the nursery with the smell of lavender and other calming essential oils.
  2. Get the bath ready with tepid water and either add Sleepytime Hair and Body Wash to the bathwater or use a tiny amount in your hands, then wash your baby from top to bottom.
  3. Carry your baby into a darkened nursery and lie him on a dry towel or changing mat (remember some changing mats can be really cold on baby’s bare skin) before massaging him with Sleepytime Organic Massage Oil.
  4. Dress your baby in PJ’ss and a sleeping bag depending on the temperature. Younger babies love being swaddled in a light natural material and our Sweet Pea Swaddle is perfect.
  5. Pick your baby up and give him a kiss and a cuddle.
  6. Talk softly, older babies will enjoy a story time and this will remain part of his bedtime routine for many years. Even young babies enjoy the rhythm of words.
  7. Give your baby his last feed of the day in the nursery.
  8. Wind, talking quietly and reassuringly.
  9. Lay him down, in his cot or Moses basket. Pat him gently.
  10. Say goodnight and come out of the room.
