When implementing a consistent bedtime routine, your child’s brain is able to receive cues that sleep is imminent, which sets the pathway for a successful night’s sleep. You can begin implementing a bedtime routine from the very first day you bring your Newborn home.
As a professional sleep consultant, I hear the term “regression” used in regards to just about every imaginable circumstance. Essentially, if baby doesn’t sleep well for a couple of nights, parents start dropping the ‘R’ word. Some people subscribe to the idea that there’s an eight month regression, a 9 month regression
It is almost that time to trade in those late summer nights for consistent and age appropriate bedtimes. If you are already a parent to a school-aged child, then you know just how exhausted they are at the end of each school day. If you have a child who will be attending for the very first time; you will soon realize just how sleepy this new transition will make your child.
