You can start implementing a bedtime routine for your baby as early as 6-8 weeks of age. The point of the bedtime routine is to help transition your baby from daytime to nighttime. The routine helps cue your baby's body that it is now time to sleep. At first your routine will be fairly simple (ex: bath, nurse/bottle, swaddle, cuddle, crib), but as your baby gets older his/her routine may take a little longer, as he/she needs more time to unwind from the day. You also may start incorporating books and a few other rituals into your routine as well. Remember, just like we (adults) need some time to relax at the end of the day before we go to bed, so do children.
