Sleep is essential to the entire family’s health and well-being, but many parents struggle to establish an effective bedtime routine. Recommend a few small changes that can make a big difference.
Teach how to sleep: Put your baby to bed when they’re drowsy, but still awake, to help them learn to fall asleep on their own
Avoid overtiredness: An overtired baby can become stressed, releasing hormones like adrenaline into their bodies, which can make it harder to fall asleep
Set the tone: Try to keep your baby calm and quiet during nighttime feedings or diaper changes
3-part ritual: Experts say a consistent bedtime routine can help your baby fall asleep and stay asleep. They suggest a 3-part ritual, such as a warm bath, a soothing massage, and a nighttime lullaby
Avoid evening screen time: Studies show that babies who are exposed to screen time in the evening go to sleep later and sleep for a shorter period of time
Massage: Research suggests that infant massage can promote relaxation before bedtime and improve sleep outcomes
Gentle oil or balm: Try a calming product like Zarbee’s® Baby Calming Massaging Oil or Balm, made with lavender and chamomile. These ingredients will calm the baby, while massage may help with sleep
Calming scents: Some scents can signal that it’s bedtime
Research ties infant sleep problems to screen time
A recent meta-analysis of 30 scientific studies found that babies and children, ages 0 to 5 years old, are experiencing sleep problems because of exposure to screens.
In infants, higher levels of total daily screen time were associated with shorter total sleep duration, more night awakenings, and longer sleep onset latency. Evening screen time, in particular, was associated with shorter nighttime sleep duration and later bedtime for babies ages 0 to 1.1
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children younger than 18 months not use screen media for anything other than video-chatting. Parents of children 18 to 24 months of age may introduce digital media with high-quality programming or apps, preferably using them together with their children. The AAP recommends against letting children use media by themselves and suggests keeping screens out of children’s bedrooms.
