• Parent Page—Encouraging Good Sleeping Habits

  Fri 16 Jan 2026

  Good sleeping habits are very important for your child’s development. Children need to learn good sleeping habits they do not come naturally. A good bedtime routine is essential for establishing good sleep patterns. Establish a sleep plan which all adults in the house agree to.

   

  Tips to consider include:

   

  · Children over 6 months old do not require food or drink during the night so stop night feeds after 6 months before they become a habit which will be hard to break.

   

  · Re establish routines as soon as possible after a break due to illness, holidays etc.

   

  · Give children calm down time preferably without electronics for an hour before bed.

   

  · Try not to allow your child to fall asleep on the sofa as they need to learn to self soothe – fall asleep by themselves.

   

  · Try to include a story or reading as part of a bedtime routine.

   

  · Choose a time that is convenient to start to establish a new bedtime routine.

   

  · Be firm, consistent and confident.

   

  You can do this!
