Village - Bedtime Stories


In Our Dream Pillow sessions we have been listening to Dream Pillow Lullaby. Creating a bedtime ritual or routine helps baby settle. In a similar way teaching our children to relax and be still for a small portion of time each day will really help them develop the ability to rest, a very important thing to learn.

This week why not create your own bedtime book. You could find or draw pictures of bedtime objects or try to depict your routine in photographs. You might like to laminate the pages so that baby can hold.

For those of you experiencing difficulties with bedtime and more importantly sleeping, I can highly recommend Elizabeth Pantley's book "The No Cry Sleep Solution". Some fantastic tips that really helped me back in the days when I was exhausted with a baby who refused to sleep. (Now 8 and still apparently needs less sleep than me.)
