Introducing a bedtime routine with your baby
The Power of a Bedtime Routine for Your BabySimple rhythms that lead to better sleep - for both of you In the early weeks with a newborn, life tends to move to a rhythm all on its own. Feeds, naps, cuddles, and nappy changes often blur into one another, and any sense of routine can feel a little out of reach. That’s completely normal! As your baby grows, you’ll notice more predictable patterns beginning to emerge. This is the perfect time to gently introduce a bedtime routine – a simple series of calming steps that helps your baby unwind and gives you both a peaceful finish to the day. Why bedtime routines matter Babies thrive on repetition. A consistent series of calming activities each evening helps regulate their body clock, encourages longer stretches of sleep, and creates a comforting rhythm to the day. Routines don’t just benefit sleep - they also nurture connection, ease overstimulation, and make bedtime feel less like a battle and more like a shared moment of calm. These rituals will evolve as your baby grows, but the sense of structure and predictability will continue to support their development well into childhood. When to begin You can begin easing into a bedtime routine from around six to eight weeks old - once your baby begins to show more consistent sleep and feeding patterns. This is also when they start to recognise daily cues, making it the perfect time to introduce a gentle ritual that helps them wind down. How to get started There’s no “perfect” routine - what works for one family might not suit another. The key is consistency, calmness, and keeping things relatively short (20 to 30 minutes is ideal). Try to carry out most of the routine in your baby’s room so they start to associate the space with sleep. Here’s a sample rhythm to get you started: Bath - A warm bath helps wash away the day and begins the wind-down process. This can also be a fun and playful moment, especially if older siblings are involved. Massage - After bath time, a quick massage with something like Scullys Baby Massage Oil can help your baby get ready for rest. This is a wonderful way to connect with your baby through touch, as well as being very relaxing for both of you. Sleepwear - Soft, breathable pyjamas or a sleeping gown signal that bedtime is near. You might like to use Merino to help regulate temperature throughout the night. We have a gorgeous range of safe and cosy sleepwear available here. Feeding - Try offering the final feed early in the routine rather than just before sleep. This can help reduce reliance on feeding to fall asleep. Story or song - A simple board book, soft lullaby, or even humming a tune gives your baby a consistent cue that bedtime is here. It also builds language skills and creates special bonding moments. Cuddles - A warm snuggle and quiet kiss goodnight helps your baby feel safe, even if you’ll likely see them again overnight. Watch for sleepy cues Rather than watching the clock, keep an eye on your baby. Rubbing eyes, zoning out, yawning, or fussing can all signal tiredness. Aim to start the bedtime routine before they become overtired. For most babies, somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30 pm works well, and this timing can continue into the early school years. Keep the environment sleep-friendly A dark, quiet space tells your baby’s brain that it’s time to sleep. Avoid bright lights, noisy toys, or too much stimulation. Night lights can be helpful for feeding and changes, but aren’t necessary for sleep - babies aren’t born afraid of the dark. You could add a soft and practical sleep sound machine, like a Yogasleep Nod to make night-time care easier with it's built in night light. Put baby to bed drowsy, not asleep As you get to know your baby’s cues, try placing them into bed when they’re sleepy but still awake. This helps them learn to settle themselves, which can make overnight waking easier to manage. It also reduces the shock of waking up in a different spot from where they fell asleep. Be consistent - but stay flexible Consistency is key, but so is flexibility. There’ll be times when travel, illness, or overtired evenings throw things off. The idea is to have a calming, repeatable routine you can come back to, wherever you are. If more than one caregiver can do bedtime, that helps too - it builds flexibility and avoids babies becoming dependent on one specific parent for settling. Small rituals with lasting benefits Your baby’s routine doesn’t need to be perfect, and it will change over time. But these small, daily rhythms bring more than just sleep - they offer connection, confidence, and a peaceful way to end the day together. One day, your baby will be reading their own book at bedtime. But your cuddle and goodnight kiss? That will still matter, even if you have to sneak it in after lights out ❤️

Reduce the Risk of SIDS
How to help keep your baby safe Entering the world of parenthood comes with its fair share of anxiety, from wondering how different your new life will be, to the worry of being responsible for a new little person. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), previously known as ‘cot death’, is the unexplained death (typically during sleep) of a seemingly healthy baby. While SIDS is a very real threat, with a little knowledge you can reduce many known contributing factors. Back to sleep You’ll no doubt hear this on repeat from midwives and Plunket nurses as soon as your little babe comes along and for very good reason. Babies who sleep on their stomachs are much more at risk of SIDS. While it’s not 100% understood exactly why experts believe it could be about re-inhaling stale air. Once your baby can happily roll over by themself, you don’t need to worry about sleeping positions any more. Make it a strictly smoke-free zone Smoking (and exposure to second-hand smoke) during pregnancy not only puts your baby at risk of health issues but increases the risk of SIDS too. It’s thought that nicotine can wreak havoc on a mechanism in their brain which senses a lack of oxygen and triggers breathing to start (called auto-resuscitation). So make sure it’s strictly a smoke-free zone when you’re pregnant and when your little one arrives, and that your family and friends are on board too. Welcome your new (temporary) roommate It’s widely recommended that your new babe bunks in with you (in their own safe sleeping space) for at least the first four to six months. This isn’t always practical for light sleepers, in which case a good breathing movement monitor set up in their nursery will give you peace of mind. A safe spot for slumber While room-sharing is recommended, bed-sharing isn’t. It can be so tempting to savour that extra time snuggled up in bed with your new babe, but bulky duvets, pillows and even an adult rolling can spell danger for little ones. Setting your baby up with their own safe space (like a portable Moses basket ) within arm’s reach is your best option. Be prepared to be suddenly jolted awake and find yourself sitting up in bed or a nursing chair with your baby in your arms – sleep deprivation can really grab hold of you in the early days. Sleeping with a baby on a chair or sofa is very dangerous, so to avoid this as much as possible, use the middle-of-the-night feeds as opportunities to clear out and edit that day’s photos on your phone (no doubt there will be plenty!) Your phone’s blue light will help keep you alert. Baby, it’s cold outside It’s important to make sure the room where your baby is sleeping is at a comfortable temperature. Bundling up babies at all times is an outdated theory – overheating is another substantial SIDS risk. Higher temperatures can put babies into a deeper slumber, making it difficult for them to wake if their breathing is obstructed. The recommended room temperature for a baby is 16 to 20 degrees, with around 18 degrees being ideal. To check your baby’s temperature, feel his back or tummy – it should feel warm. A great way to check the temperature of their nursery is with a combined nightlight/temperature sensor like the Moon Nightlight . Blankets (and everything else) be gone All those cute blankets, animal-shaped pillows and snuggly little toys that create a cosy-looking cot will need to stay in storage until your baby’s first birthday. Until then, all you need is a fitted sheet and wearable bedding like a Merino Sleep Pod to keep them warm. The key is to avoid anything that may cover their face and restrict breathing. Breastfeed if possible Experts aren’t sure why, but breastfeeding can significantly lower the risk of SIDS. The theory is that breastfeeding promotes the sucking and swallowing action, which develops muscles that keep the airway open while boosting brain development. Breastfed babies are generally lighter sleepers, too. This might not sound like a benefit at 2 am, but anything that helps reduce SIDS is a big plus. A big tick for pacifiers There tends to be negativity around using pacifiers, but they can not only be life-saving for unsettled babies during car trips, but also literally life-saving. Once again, it’s a bit of an unknown how pacifiers help, but there is a clear link – babies who use pacifiers are at lower risk of SIDS. As with breastfeeding, this could be due to more developed sucking and swallowing muscles that help keep airways open. If you’re breastfeeding, wait until this is well established (at least 4-6 weeks) before introducing a good quality silicone pacifier . Do what you can to reduce the risk While there are still a lot of unknowns with SIDS, being armed with what you can do to reduce as many risks as possible should put your mind at ease. Keep in mind that the risk of SIDS decreases after six months and is pretty rare after a baby’s first birthday.

Trouble sleeping? Finding The Right Sleep Aid
Sleep Struggles? These Soothers Might Just Save Your Sanity 😴 There’s nothing quite like the hopeful moment when you lay your baby down to sleep… followed by the crushing sound of a whimper, shuffle, or full blown cry. If your little one finds it hard to settle, or just can’t seem to stay asleep - a good sleep soother could make all the difference. White noise and gentle sound machines help to mask the everyday background noise that can disturb your baby’s rest. Think: older siblings, barking dogs, or the neighbour deciding now’s the time to mow the lawn. These soothing sounds - like a heartbeat, waves, or soft shushing - mimic what baby heard in the womb, helping them relax and drift off more easily. We’ve curated a handy Quiz to help you make a decision, plus a small but mighty collection of trusted sleep soothers and calming aids below, that can help take the edge off bedtime - for both you and your baby. YogaSleep Hushh 2 White Noise Machine Compact, rechargeable, and seriously effective — the YogaSleep Hushh 2 is the sound machine you’ll wish you bought sooner. It offers several soothing sound options (including the classic white noise hum, surf, and gentle fan) and lets you customise volume and tone. The real standout is the glow-in-the-dark nightlight — gentle enough not to disturb baby, but just right when you’re fumbling for the dummy at 2 a.m. With a simple clip for attaching to prams, car seats or bassinets, this is your go-to for sleep on the move. Or, just clip it to your sanity and go about your day. No judgement here. YogaSleep Nod Sound Machine and Night Light The YogaSleep Nod is the ultimate stay-at-home sleep station — perfect for setting up a consistent, calming bedtime routine in the nursery. It features 20 sleep sounds, including white noise, fan sounds, lullabies, and nature tracks, so you can tailor the soundscape to your baby’s preferences. What makes it a standout? The built-in nightlight, which emits a warm amber glow to create a peaceful sleep space without overstimulating your baby. You can also set sleep timers or run it all night long — ideal for little ones who are easily stirred. Simple, soothing, and super customisable, the Nod helps create the kind of sleep environment you’ll both appreciate. Sleepytot Portable White Noise Machine & Nightlight If you’re looking for a multi-tasking marvel, the Sleepytot Portable White Noise Machine ticks a lot of boxes. It has a built-in rechargeable battery (USB charging = no more hunting for AAs), multiple white noise sounds to choose from, and a soft nightlight built in. Whether you’re heading out for the day or just trying to settle baby at home, this little helper is easy to toss in the nappy bag and use wherever you are. Simple to use, easy to love — and surprisingly effective when nothing else seems to be working. The Baby Shusher Sloth You’ve heard of the Baby Shusher — now meet its adorable new friend Shusher Sloth! This sweet sloth still uses the same rhythmic “shhh” sound that mimics a parent’s voice and taps into your baby’s natural calming reflexes. It’s a surprisingly effective technique (and one backed by science, not just tired parents). The sloth’s cuddly design means it doubles as a comfort toy, and the shushing sound is timed to switch off after 15 or 30 minutes — giving you a bit of peace without draining the battery. With a built-in timer and innovative sound activation, Shusher Sloth can listen for your baby’s cries and respond by soothing them back to sleep. Bonus: it’s small enough to take on the go, and far less exhausting than manually shushing for 45 minutes straight. Storytime and Soothing Light for Sweet Dreams Another beautiful way to support your child’s sleep is by building a calming, familiar bedtime routine – and the CloudBox™ helps make that easy. This clever little device plays comforting bedtime stories while gently projecting sleepy visuals onto the ceiling or wall. With a soothing mix of audio and light, it creates a multisensory environment that helps children wind down at the end of the day. You can choose from the preloaded stories or record your own – a lovely way to keep bedtime personal, even when you can’t be there in person. Repeating the same story or image each night can become part of your child’s sleep ritual, providing a sense of security and consistency they can count on. Simple to use and designed for children from birth and up, the CloudBox™ is a thoughtful addition to any nighttime routine – helping little ones feel calm, safe, and ready for sleep. Supporting Sleep, Naturally For many families, Magnesium Rescue has become a much loved part of their wind-down ritual. This gentle, topical formula is made from natural ingredients and can be massaged into your child’s back, tummy, or feet at bedtime. It’s designed to help support a relaxed nervous system – a simple, non-invasive way to encourage calm before sleep. Another lovely option is the Bedtime Bestie - a lightweight magnesium mist infused with calming lavender, designed to support relaxation and make bedtime a little easier. Simply spritz it onto your child’s back or feet as part of your evening routine. It’s a fuss-free way to help little bodies and busy minds slow down – one small spray at a time.
