Many babies find it easier to immerse themselves in the kingdom of Morpheus with the help of "sleeping aids".

This is the name given to special rituals that are repeated day after day when it is time to go to bed.

Such rituals before bedtime let the baby know that it’s time to sleep soon.

Toys

One of the ritual options is saying goodbye to toys. Explain to the child that his dolls and cars are also tired during the day and want to take a nap. Together with the baby, wave your hand to the toys and wish them good night.

Lullabies and fairy tales

Lullabies and fairy tales will help calm and relax the child. They should be sung or told in a quiet and measured voice, without rushing. Avoid active and exciting stories - the child may become overexcited, and then it will be even more difficult for him to fall asleep.
