Many sleep experts recommend creating a calming environment to prepare your little one for a restful night’s sleep. Some of the suggestions below may be useful for you to include in your baby’s bedtime routine:

• Sit in a quiet area and do 'quiet time' activities, like read a bedtime story or nursery rhyme together
  

• Play some soothing and relaxing music to settle baby (Max loved the Music for Dreaming CD) 
  

• Give bubs a sleep association toy, like a small teddy bear or blanket that is used only when they are going to bed so they learn that when they have their bear/blanket it is time for sleep
  

• Finally, after lots of cuddles, try to them down awake so they learn to self settle

HANDY HINT: Use regular GAIA Natural Baby Bath & Body Wash for daytime bathing and Sleeptime Bath at night to emphasise the difference between day and night.
