Not sure where to start? These starting points reflect what tends to work at each stage.

0–3 Months — Short & Flexible

Diaper change → dim lights → feeding → quiet cuddle → crib.

3–12 Months — More Predictability

Bath → pajamas → feeding → short story → lullaby → goodnight phrase → crib, drowsy but still awake.

12+ Months — More Participation

Tidy toys together → pajamas → brush teeth → story chosen by the child → goodnight phrase → white noise → crib or bed.
