    Building Baby’s Sleep Rhythm: From Cues to Consistent Routines

    Rhythm Over Schedule

    Babies don’t need a clock—they need rhythm.

    That means creating predictable routines anchored to your baby’s own cues, not rigid time slots.

    • Rubbing eyes
    • Looking away
    • Slower movements
    • Fussing or arching

    When you see these signs, begin your wind-down routine.

    Create a Routine Loop

    Use the same pattern daily:

    1. Short feed or cuddle
    2. Dim the lights
    3. Soft voice and lullaby
    4. Sleep sack
    5. Lay baby down drowsy but awake

    Final Thought

    When babies can predict what’s coming, they settle more easily and sleep longer. Your consistency becomes their rhythm.
