Baby Sleep 101: How to Build a Sleep Routine That Works

One of the biggest challenges for new parents? Getting your baby to sleep (and stay asleep!).
If you’re tired of being tired, you’re not alone — but the good news is that with a little routine and patience, peaceful nights are possible.

Let’s explore how to build a healthy baby sleep routine that helps both baby and parents rest better.

Why Sleep Routines Matter

Babies thrive on routine. Creating a predictable sleep schedule helps:

  • Regulate your baby’s internal clock

  • Reduce fussiness and overtiredness

  • Make naps and bedtime easier

  • Give parents a much-needed break

How to Build a Soothing Sleep Routine

Start a consistent routine 20–30 minutes before bedtime.

Example Bedtime Routine:

  1. A warm bath 🛁

  2. Fresh diaper & pajamas

  3. Gentle baby massage

  4. Dim the lights

  5. Feeding (if needed)

  6. Lullaby or bedtime story

  7. Place baby in crib while drowsy but awake

Sleep Environment Tips

  • Use a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet

  • Keep the room dim, cool, and quiet

  • Use white noise to drown out household sounds

  • No pillows, blankets, or stuffed toys for babies under 1 year (for safety)

Final Thoughts

A well-rested baby is a happy baby — and a well-rested parent is a super parent! 
Start building your sleep routine early, adjust as needed, and stay calm — better nights are ahead.
