What are babies and toddlers sleep rituals?

[Lorina]

Babies' and toddlers' sleep rituals are consistent routines designed to help them transition to sleep. These routines create a sense of security and relaxation, making bedtime smoother.

Common sleep rituals might include:

Bathtime: A warm bath before bed can be calming.
Storytime: Reading a book helps wind down and establishes a comforting routine.
Singing a lullaby: Soft music or humming can soothe young children.
Dimming the lights: Lowering the light levels signals it's time for rest.
Cuddling or rocking: Close physical contact reassures and comforts.
Saying goodnight: Wishing objects like toys or pets goodnight adds an engaging ritual.
