The perfect bedtime routine can be achieved to start off a great night of sleep for your baby. The best part is that it can be incorporated as early as day 1! Find out the tips Good Night Sleep Site suggests ⬇️
Consistent and calming bedtime routine can be incorporated as early as day 1. From the moment you bring your baby home your bedtime routine will be a time for feeds and cuddles, and an incredible time for bonding and preparing your baby for a night of restful sleep. The predictability of a bedtime routine will help your baby predict what to expect, which can also really help to alleviate bedtime sleep struggles.
The bedtime that you create for your baby will change as your baby gets older but there are a few steps that will remain:
• Make Time for It
Allow for 15 to 30 minutes prior to your baby’s bedtime to incorporate your calming and consistent bedtime routine.
• Create the Right Environment
It’s important to create a soothing, safe, and relaxing environment before bedtime.
Here are some of the best tools you can use to create that perfect sleep environment:
~ A certified standard crib with a firm mattress and fitted crib sheet.
~ Room darkening shades or blackout blinds to keep the room dark.
~ A white noise machine to help drown out household sounds and noises from outside.
• Choose the Right Activities
Including the right calming activities at bedtime can cue your baby that it's time for sleep. A bath and massage can help to create a more peaceful bedtime. JOHNSON'S baby 3-Step Bedtime Routine was developed to help babies sleep better in just 7 days. The routine is clinically proven to help the baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. The JOHNSON’S® Baby Bedtime products are triple-tested by pediatricians, dermatologists and ophthalmologists.
Step 1: A warm bath with JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Bath and JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Bubble Bath can create a calming and relaxing bath time to help make falling asleep that much easier. These products are hypoallergenic and free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates & dyes, specifically designed for baby’s delicate skin.
Step 2: A massage with JOHNSON’S® Bedtime Baby Lotion is the perfect complement for this moment and the NATURALCALM® aromas helps soothe and relax the baby before bed.
Step 3: Quiet time activities such as reading, singing or listening to music allow the baby to unwind after a warm bath and a relaxing massage.
More examples of bedtime activities to include are:
Diaper or potty time
Putting on pajamas, a special sleeper or sleep sack
A feed—breast or bottle
Cuddles and kisses
Creating the right bedtime routine is such an important step in helping your little one drift off peacefully. Including these calming activities in your baby’s sleep plan could mean easier bedtimes and longer stretches of sleep throughout the night.

Still talking pillows....
I had several questions about what a toddler pillow would look like in comparison.
The top pillow (pictured) is a standard pillow (not a king size pillow) and is what is used in the average home. There are different types. *Firm *soft *down filled *synthetic
The bottom pillow (pictured) is a toddler pillow. This is an introduction pillow. It doesn't have much filling and is significantly smaller.
Here are some safety rules to follow when introducing a pillow:
❗Only introduce when your child is asking or showing interest in a pillow.
❗When your child is out of a crib and in a bed.
❗OVER 2 years of age.
Do you have any safe sleep questions?

I get asked a lot "When can my child begin to use a pillow?"
The safest is when your child:
1) Is over 2 years old
2) Has transitioned out of the crib.
I would suggest that you begin with a small pillow (Ikea has a great transition pillow). If that is not an option, choose a firm pillow (avoiding the puffy and extra-large ones).
I also would only introduce a pillow when your child shows interest in using one.
If your child is over 2 years old and is not asking or showing interest in a pillow, that's ok. Despite our adult discomfort, children are often unphased by not using one.

When you step, fall, or jump out of your comfort zone, great and amazing things can happen!!
Change isn't comfy, but sometimes necessary!
