Self-Soothing at Bedtime

Parent guides baby through a calming bedtime routine, putting baby down drowsy but awake to practice self-soothing skills. The agent coaches the parent to observe sleep cues, self-settling attempts, and independent sleep initiation — building foundational self-regulation and sleep independence.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Baby in parent's arms for feeding in a quiet, dimly lit room. Crib or bassinet prepared nearby with safe sleep environment (firm mattress, no loose bedding). Best done at baby's typical bedtime when showing early sleep cues.
