We all need a sense of routine. These everyday happenings are the ways we get things done and feel at peace. As adults we have routines that help us start our day, eat well and stay active, enjoy our interests, and spend our time. Guess what? Our babies thrive in these same routines!

Why? Routines help babies with their body clock and provide them with a sense of security. Routines also support your baby to be calm and relaxed during down times.
