How to create the perfect Bedtime Routine for your baby

Not all naps are meant to be long.

If your baby wakes after 30–45 minutes, it doesn’t always mean something is wrong.

In fact, one sleep cycle for babies is often around 30–45 minutes, which is why many babies naturally wake at that point.

Some babies will link sleep cycles and keep sleeping.
Others need a little support or simply aren’t tired enough for a longer nap.

Before trying to “fix” short naps, ask yourself:

• Is my baby’s awake window appropriate?
• Are we expecting a long nap when a short one is developmentally normal?
• Is my baby learning how to connect sleep cycles independently?

Sometimes the answer isn’t forcing a longer nap — it’s adjusting the routine so day sleep works with your baby instead of against them.

Because here’s the truth:

Better day sleep supports better night sleep.

And short naps don’t mean you’re doing it wrong. 🤍

If you’d like help figuring out how to extend naps, adjust your baby’s routine, and reduce overtiredness, we’d love to support you.

✨ Book a 1:1 sleep consultation and let’s create a plan that works for your baby.

We didn’t know it then 🤍
Two little girls — cousins, best friends, growing up side by side. Sharing secrets. Sharing dreams. Sharing a childhood.

What we didn’t know… was that one day we would share a vision too. ✨

From giggling girls to co-founders. From cousins to CEOs.

And along the way, the right women joined the story.
The one’s we trust with your baby’s sleep, Carla and Bianca 
Each of us bringing something different.
All of us carrying the same heart.

Brave Little Baby isn’t just a business. It’s built on history, trust, and a deep love for families

Does your baby cry the second you leave the room at bedtime? 🥺

It’s not a bad habit — it’s separation anxiety. And it’s completely normal.

As little ones begin to understand you can leave (but not yet when you’ll come back), bedtime can suddenly feel scary. And temperament plays a big role in how this shows up:

💛 Sensitive kiddos may cling harder and need extra reassurance.
💛 Easygoing ones might protest briefly, then settle.
💛 Strong-willed or highly alert toddlers may resist loudly or call you back again and again.

It’s not defiance. It’s attachment.

Separation anxiety isn’t a sign you’ve done something wrong — it’s a sign your child feels safely connected to you.

The goal isn’t to eliminate attachment. It’s to build confidence.

A solid bedtime routine helps because it creates safety through repetition

Bath, pajamas, story and cuddles, when the same steps happen your child's brain learns:
"I know what is coning, I am safe, I can relax"

Predictable routines. Clear goodbyes. Calm reassurance.
“My parent leaves… and my parent comes back.”

With time, consistency, and support — sleep gets easier. 🤍

Sleep regressions aren’t random.
They’re usually developmental shifts and if someone claims that babies do not go through sleep regressions then that is not "true"

The internet can also make you feel like it's unavoidable chaos.

The truth?
When sleep foundations are strong, regressions are bumps — not derailments.

If you want to build sleep skills that carry your child through regressions with confidence, that’s exactly what we teach inside BLB programs and 1:1 coaching.

You don’t need to fear the next "leap".
You just need a plan. Comment REGRESSION or share with someone who needs to hear this
