How to create a good sleep routine for your child:
Tips for a safe and calm sleep time!
1. Establish a routine
- A hot bath
- A quiet game or bedtime story
- A pleasant moment with a lullaby or quiet music
2. Create a safe sleeping environment
It is important to create an environment that invites relaxation and calm. Make sure the room is dark, cool and quiet so your child can fall asleep undisturbed. Consider using soothing lighting such as a dim night lamp to create a safe atmosphere. In addition, a gentle white noise machine can help drown out sudden sounds that might otherwise wake your child.
3. Calm activities before bed
Make sure to round off the day with calm activities that do not overstimulate your child. This can be quiet play, a book or some quiet music. Avoid letting the child play wild games or watch television right before bed, as this can make it harder for him to settle down.
4. Soothing touch
A gentle massage or stroking your child's back can help create a sense of security and calm. Use possibly Mushie Baby oil, which is mild and moisturizing, and which leaves the child's skin soft and well cared for. It can also be a nice end to the day and part of a regular routine that the child learns to associate with bedtime.
