Week 2 · Day 10

Use a consistent sleep phrase

The verbal cue

Today's lesson

A short, calm phrase repeated at every sleep time becomes a powerful cue. Say it as you place baby in the crib: 'It's time to sleep. I love you. I'll see you in the morning.'

Your action steps

  • Choose your sleep phrase.
  • Use it at every nap and bedtime.
  • Say it calmly, even if baby is fussing.
