Why bedtime matters

A consistent bedtime helps regulate your baby's circadian rhythm, leading to better quality sleep and easier bedtimes. Research shows that babies with regular sleep schedules tend to sleep longer and wake less frequently at night.

The ideal bedtime shifts earlier as babies consolidate their sleep. Most babies between 3-12 months do best with a bedtime between 6:00-8:00 PM, depending on their age and nap schedule.
