Tonight’s bedtime for your baby

A story, a lullaby and a goodnight game, after the bath and pyjamas. Doing them in the same order every night makes bedtime feel familiar.

About 8 minutes, in this order. There’s something different each night.

  1. 1. Read a story

    Settle in a chair or on the bed, with the big light off and a lamp on low.

  2. 2. Sing a lullaby

    Hold them close and sway as you sing. Once you know the words, put the phone down.

  3. 3. Say goodnight

    Read it once, then put the phone down. It ends at the cot or bed.
