Our Easy Baby Bedtime Routine

The first question everyone asks when you have a new baby is “Are you getting any sleep?” As first time parents, we really have no idea what we are doing most of the time, but I did know I wanted to have a some kind of plan when it came to a night time routine for sleeping. Well I did not take a single baby class and I didn’t read hardly any books, so I was off to a great start. The three books/programs that I did read and follow a bit were “Moms on Call”, Babywise, and Taking Cara Babies (on Instagram) and I think the routine we ended up with was kind of a combination of parts from all those programs.

8 Necessities to Help You and Your Baby Sleep Through the Night

There are a few night time necessities that are vital to our bedtime routine for John Woodford and really help create that perfect sleep environment for baby. After implementing our sleep routine over the last few months using these items, we have been able to get our baby to sleep consistently through the night. You can find a full post with all the details and steps of our bedtime routine here. As a first time mom, I am definitely not an expert when it comes to all things baby! I did do a ton of research on sleep related baby products while pregnant though, and I think I’ve rounded up a pretty good selection! I hope this can help guide you and give you an honest opinion on these products, whether you are a first-time mom or seasoned veteran!
