Establishing a sleep routine

Some babies know that night-time is for sleeping. Many others don’t - how often do you remember your unborn baby kicking you the hardest  at 11 o’clock at night?! However, lack of sleep can be THE biggest problem for many a Mum and Dad, and until you’ve cracked “night time”, do make sure that you have enough rest during the day. There can be many reasons why babies find it difficult to settle – they may not be tired, they may be over tired. They may be bored, they may be over stimulated. Establishing a bedtime routine can really help a baby to settle in the evening. Perhaps it’s a warm bath, followed by milk and then bed, perhaps with a musical mobile.

grobag® baby sleeping bags can be a real help in establishing the bedtime routine and will also help your baby stay warm and comfortable through the night: Cuddle your baby in his baby sleeping bag for his last feed or to read a book, easily transfer your baby to his cot already in his baby sleeping bag.

Babies wake up several times each night, even when they are not hungry and for this reason its important that your baby gets used to falling asleep without you. Whilst awake in the night, many babies kick off their blankets and become cold – a grobag® baby sleeping bag will keep baby warm and cosy whether they move up or down the cot. Baby will soon get to know that grobag® time is sleep time…
