It's giveaway time! I'm giving one lucky winner the chance to win a product which I use with Beau and which he loves - a Twinklees Sleepy Time Trainer!
I shared all about Twinklees over on my Instagram when I worked on a collaboration with Smyths and this has been a product which Beau has gone to bed with every night since.
Twinklees allow you to set the time for bedtime and wake up on the cuddly star and show your little one the difference between day and night with the cool blue light for bedtime and the warm light for morning time.
Twinklees are great for training children in the differences between bedtime and when it's 'acceptable' to wake up - no more 5.30a.m. wake up calls for us!

Win A Pink Twinklees Sleepy Time Trainer
My daughter is an awful sleeper (so is my son!) So if anything helps at all it would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteA simple routine...bath...bed and warm milk with short story, kiss, goodnight...
ReplyDeleteMy children like their bedtime routine of after dinner, relax and read a story before bed. My son especially loves his Jellycat bunnies in bed with him to help him sleep snuggled up to them
ReplyDeleteI don't have any great tips. We just read some stories. It helps if you get them running around all day, so they are tired.
ReplyDeleteA nice warm bath, lots of cuddles and a bedtime story
ReplyDeleteThis us an amazing prize, Thank you for the opportunity xxx
ReplyDeleteRoutine. After bathing and teeth brushing, allow children to choose one book before bed, read it to both the child and their favourite toy, then put them both to bed. Explain that the toy needs to sleep after their story, too.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we have not mastered the art of sleeping yet, but very interested to read any tips
ReplyDeletea good routine
ReplyDeletea good routine and warm bath seems to help
ReplyDeleteA good routine - bath, book, bed.
ReplyDeleteMy best way to get kids to bed easily to to create a routine.
ReplyDeleteNo tips, my 3 year old is just starting to stay in his own bed, my 2 year old is a nightmare lol! Sometimes I think you just have to ride it out and keep consistent, it will get better eventually.
ReplyDeleteWe are obsessed with routine, my little boy likes predicting and telling us what to do next. Makes him feel in control so bed is his idea.
ReplyDeleteNo tips, my daughters are terrible in getting to sleep
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance at a great prize!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for my toddler who fights bed time and gets up too early!
ReplyDeletenice dark room, and as queit as possible
ReplyDeleteBathing before bedtime could help.
ReplyDeleteA night light and swaddling
ReplyDeleteI find keeping my little girl active during the day really helps, We relax after dinner and read a book or have a cosy bath before going to bed, Sticking to a routine really helps too.
ReplyDeleteRioutine, even though it's not always easy, and some little ones are harder to get into rroutine than others.
ReplyDeleteRoutine mainly, but bathing and stories may help.
ReplyDeleteRoutine, same bed time each night, a story & threats of night lights being switched off if they don't!
ReplyDeleteI believe consistency in routine is key, stability for the child and parents
ReplyDeleteJust to keep to a routine. Obviously won't always work but it helps us
ReplyDeleteThis may sound odd but I found stroking their hair or massaging their feet made them go to sleep easier.
ReplyDeleteA regular bedtime routine, bath, bed & story, kiss goodnight & get out
ReplyDeleteI don't have children but I found with both my niece & god-daughter that walking around with them worked but I know that isn't always possible.
ReplyDeleteRoutine - bath bed book cuddle goodnight
ReplyDeletebath before bedtime, chill out story time

ReplyDeletesome lavender pillow spray i find helps my kids x
ReplyDeleteBath, bedtime story, night light and goodnight x
ReplyDeleteBedtime stories and plenty of cuddles
ReplyDeleteI've been really lucky with my daughter and she's fairly good. I've found that what works for some doesn't for others but for me being especially responsive has given her the confidence that I'm there and she has slept longer and longer. Now if she stirs in the night I just go into her and run her back and she's back asleep for another 4 hours minimum. We have a bedtime routine that we can move between houses for when we stay elsewhere and she doesnt nap after 4pm in the day x
ReplyDeleteMine is to have a good routine. Bath, story, cuddles and settle down for sleep works for my three including baby Jacob who is nearly 10 months. I am sure we'll have sleep regression at some point though so this would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA good routine works wonders for us!
ReplyDeleteLullabies, story time and routine
ReplyDeleteBoth my children are terrible sleepers so this would really help (gemma ewer)
ReplyDeleteMake bedtime a routine and try to create an ideal sleeping environment.
ReplyDeleteNeither of my kids sleep well so I have no tips!
ReplyDeleteother than having a good routine i find lavender tea helps the oldeer ones
ReplyDeleteA bath, reading a book together and a really good routine to make sure they're sure that it's bedtime xx
ReplyDeleteA consistent bedtime routine is supposed to help. although theres no such thing in my house. lovely prize x
ReplyDeleteBath and storytime before bedtime and a good blackout blind!
ReplyDeleteOur two have a really great bedtime routine. Dinner quite early between 4-5, then homework and play until 6.30pm. Bath at 6.30pm, then quiet hour from7pm, curtains closed, dim lights, stories, milk and cosy time, bed at 8pm (latest)
ReplyDeleteMake sure TV and gadgets are off at least an hour before bed to give them time to wind down before trying to sleep. (Hazel Christopher)
ReplyDeleteA bedtime routine - bath, stories, meditation app and meditation music
ReplyDeleteRoutine, keep it easy

ReplyDeleterountine bath bedtime story

ReplyDeleteI find a nice bedtime routine is key. And cutting down on afternoon naps.
ReplyDeleteA nice bed time story and no electronic devices before bed
ReplyDeleteA bed time story and cuddles
ReplyDeleteRoutine and a good story
ReplyDeleteJust like adults, not all children can sleep at the same time. Some like to go to bed early and wake early. Others like to go to bed later and get up later. It will soon become apparent which one your child prefers. It's no good at all telling late sleepers to 'go to sleep' if they don't feel sleepy. It will just promote tantrums. It's much better to allow them to read, watch a calming tv program or whatever until a reasonable time for them. Obviously make it clear that you need to go to bed at a specific time and that you all need to be awake for school, work, etc in the morning, but otherwise, stop panicking - it really won't help anyone!
ReplyDeletemake bedtime a quiet relaxing time... if you can ha ha
ReplyDeleteCreating a routine and sticking to it. (and investing in a stress ball for days when breaking it is unavoidable!)
ReplyDeleteWe like to keep to a routine weekdays and weekends
ReplyDeleteIt's usually bath, supper, story and bed in our house although there's plenty of times it doesn't happen like that!
ReplyDeleteI think routine is the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteStay consistent with a good bedtime routine, it works wonders x
ReplyDeleteThimble of whiskey like my parents used to for me and my grandparents did for them, ancient wisdom from Cornwall and Dublin :O
ReplyDeleteroutine, keep things relaxed , a warm bath and a story
ReplyDeleteA regular routine at the same times each night helps a lot to get the child into a pattern of knowing when it's time to sleep.
