How to Create a Bedtime Routine That Works (Newborns 0–3 Months | Day 4)
Welcome to Day 4! Tonight, we’re talking about one of the most important steps to building healthy sleep habits—creating a consistent bedtime routine for your baby.
Even at this young age, a calming and predictable routine helps your baby begin to understand the difference between day and night, setting the stage for longer nighttime stretches in the weeks to come.
In today’s video, Dana Obleman walks you through:
– Why bedtime routines work (even for newborns!)
– How your baby’s internal clock starts forming before birth
– What time you should aim to start winding down
– A simple, 5-step routine to follow every night—starting tonight!
