You can start a bedtime routine as early as 2 weeks if you would like to, but certainly by 6 weeks it’s worth having a short and simple routine in place.

The idea is to do the same steps in the same order every evening, this way your little one is cued for a longer stretch of sleep.

Complete the last step in the room your baby will be sleeping in eg bath time, dressed for bedtime, story and straight into bed rather than going to the living room before bed so that your baby isn’t too stimulated
