At six months, your baby is busy, busy, busy. But not all this activity is visible. In addition to her physical developments, she is beginning to mentally "organise" her world. This is an age that thrives on schedules and routines, especially for sleeping and eating. If you follow the same routine every night, she'll soon understand that when it's nighttime, it's time to sleep, not play. A good way to begin the bedtime routine is with a warm, relaxing bath followed by a final feed, teeth-brushing, a massage, a bedtime story, then into bed. The key is to help your baby unwind, so avoid any stimulating activities.
