Do you have a bedtime routine for you and your little one?
Experts say that it is important to set a good bed time routine in young children. Research shows that besides good sleep, it helps promote language development, asserts parent-child bonding and contributes to good behavior.
When my little girlie was a baby, we knew we had to establish a good bedtime routine for her and well, for ourselves too. We dimmed the lights at dusk, tucked her in her swaddle and sometimes played white noise. If she woke up in the middle of the night, I’d breastfeed her and maybe pat her leg a bit.
Now that she’s a toddler, we usually dim the lights in the living room at 7pm, let her cuddle her favorite toy and read her a bed time story. But some days, especially when we go out, she’d still be a little worked up. I guess it’s from the fun activities at the mall and going home past her bed time.
THIS MOMMY NEEDS A GOOD BEDTIME ROUTINE TOO
As for me, there are days when I’d have a hard time falling asleep. Although deep breathing helps, I realized that it was using gadgets that kept me awake. Yes, the blue light emitted by our gadgets and cellphones disrupts our natural sleep rhythm.
Did you know that experts say you should turn off your gadgets an hour before bedtime? Well in my case, I’d recommend 2 or more.
It’s also helpful to make the ambiance of your bedroom pleasant and relaxing. Some people use essential oils and do yoga to calm down for bed.
Speaking of bedtime, I’d like to share two products made in Australia that I’ve recently tried. They can help your little one get read for bed: Euky Bear Sleepy Time Massage Balm and Euky Bear Sleepy Time Room Mist!

Euky Bear Sleepy Time Massage Balm
I am a huge fan of anything lavender so I’m thrilled that I got my daughter experience this soothing massage balm made from natural oils like lavender and chamomile.
Aside from these oils, this product has gentle oils such as coconut oil, sweet almond oil and jojoba oil which can make your little one settle down for sleep.
Well, I recently made Euky Bear Sleepy Time Massage Balm part of my little girlie’s bed time routine. And so far, it’s been really helpful in winding down. I usually put it on her feet and massage them a bit.
Since I usually squeeze a lot, I actually put some on my tense shoulders as well. I could feel my worries slipping away.
Here are other things I love about it:
- Its main components: lavender and chamomile are well known natural sleep aids that can also reduce stress for the whole family.
- It doesn’t have a sticky feel
- Dermatologically tested and clinically proven to be gentle on skin
- Suitable for ages 3 months and up
