When do I start a bedtime routine?

Jo Tantum says

Anytime from week 1-2,  by top’ n’ tailing your baby in their nursery and feeding them in a calm, quiet environment. This stops the over-stimulated, overtired crying in the early evenings.

If you do the same bedtime routine every night, your baby will soon recognise these bedtime cues to wind down and will start to settle quickly. It also means you will have your evenings to yourself!
