Creating a routine for your baby simply means that you will perform his or her activities at the same time each day. In other words, your baby will;

  • Go down for naps at the same time each day
  • Feed at the same time each day
  • Have awake time in which he or she plays and takes part in activities at the same time each day

Benefits of creating a routine

  1. A baby who sleeps well in the day, will sleep well at night. A well-rested baby is a happy baby who is alert and can engage in developmental activities.
  2. A baby tends to thrive and has no problem meeting milestones once a routine has been implemented – this links back to a well-rested baby being a happy baby.
  3. For you as a parent, a routine helps you to plan your day as you know what time baby needs to eat and sleep.
  4. Having a routine makes it easier for other caregivers to step in if you need the help. Plus, because your baby is in a routine, he or she should not react negatively to the change in environment.
  5. Toddlers who have been in a routine since baby days are less likely to throw tantrums as they know what to expect out of their day.

A flexible, age appropriate routine will no doubt ensure a happy and healthy baby.
