AD| Toddlers thrive on routine - and bedtime is no exception! Even when it’s still bright outside we stick to our evening schedule like clockwork with the help from @sleepout (most of the time - we do have a life once or twice a month 😂). Why? Because consistency helps their little bodies know when it’s time to wind down and rest - and a dark room is ✨key✨ to making that happen. Thanks to @sleepout I can trust our routine won’t get side tracked just because “but mamma it’s still light out! 😫” Darkness signals their brain to produce melatonin - the sleep hormone - and our blackout curtains make ALL the difference. So yes you can keep your 7pm bedtime and no, you don’t have to struggle with bedtime battles just because the sun hasn’t clocked out yet. 🌅 Protect their routine. Your future self and well-rested toddler will thank you in the morning. 🤍 Has bedtime been a struggle lately with the sun setting later? #parentinghacks #toddlersleep #summerbedtime #momwin #sleeptipsforkids #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #sleepoutblackoutcurtains #toddlersleeptips #toddlerroutines #consciousparenting
