How to Build a Safe Sleep Routine for Newborns

Safe sleep isn’t just about comfort — it’s about protecting your baby during the most important developmental phase of their life.

Here’s how to build a safe sleep routine step by step:

1. Follow the ABCs of Safe Sleep:

   • Alone

   • Back

   • Crib (or bassinet)

2. Keep the Sleep Space Bare – No pillows, stuffed toys, or loose blankets.

3. Use a Proper Sleep Sack – Our bamboo sleeping sacks are designed to replace loose blankets while offering breathable, temperature-regulated comfort.

4. Stick to a Schedule – Newborns thrive on routine. Begin calming activities 30 mins before bed — bath, baby massage, lullaby.

5. Monitor the Room Temperature – Ideal is 21–23°C (69–73°F). Use a 1.0 TOG sleep sack for optimal comfort.

6. Dim the Lights, Reduce Stimulation – Set the tone for sleep with a calm, dark environment.

Creating a peaceful, safe sleep routine early on leads to better sleep for your baby — and for you. At Cloudy Apples, our products are designed to make that journey easier, softer, and safer.
