Make it dark and make them tired,
then when their little brain is wired-
read a book and sing a song-
little brats won’t be awake long

Currently I don’t have a bedtime trick as my daughter sleeps with the lights on and has troubles falling asleep when it’s dark. I would love to try the Sleepy Starz Sleep Clock because I think it would dazzle my daughter and help her feel safe!

Rubbing lavender oil on my boys temples at bed time makes them go into a deep coma like a cartoon sheriff whose keys are dangling seductively from his belt!!

We play a game to see who can trick the other one into thinking they’re asleep.
… It works EVERY time!

The tried and trusted ‘bed time story’, however a Mouths of Mums Sleepy Starz bundle would be a godsend for my triplet neices!

Routine routine routine

My bedtime toddler trick is very dark room if child isnt afraid aswel as some nice essential oils defusing to help for sleep

Physical activity in the cool of the evening, relaxing bath time with soothing background music, , warm milk and a story or two … or three…but no more than 3 stories!

We play the Wii Just Dance for half an hour. They are so tired afterwards they go to bed and fall fast asleep within minutes.

Tire them out before bed! Our son gets a bed time story, our 9 month old receives lullaby music.

Warm milk and a story was the toddler trick we adopted for blissful nights where toddler two slept through. He was an angel.

Making bedtime a routine – I begin with a wind down period 15-30 minutes before their actual bedtime routine begins. This includes turning off the TV, playing relaxing music, dimming lights, talking softer,… All of these subtle changes are cues that my child picks up as signs that bedtime is approaching.

It is now time to go to bed so you can be all ready for another fun day tomorrow. Then i would mention what we are doing the next day.

A riff raff doll or the ipad

Gently drift your fingers over their eyelids to close them until they get too tired to keep them opened.

a warm glass of milk works every time!

I dont have one, my life is a mess

I just read stories for him and sing for him for a long and the funny thing that I fell sleepiness and hi is still wecking up ????

I wrote my boys a lullaby about dreaming of happy things! I sing this to them every night, give them lots of hugs and kisses, and tell them how much I love them!

No tricks just routine and consistency, bath time, book, reading a book and sleep time.
