What’s a solid bedtime routine?
Consistent sequence = sleepy cues
Repeat the same calming steps nightly to signal sleep is coming.
Linking the lullaby to our routine made bedtime smooth.
A predictable, low-stimulation routine helps your baby link the steps to sleep. Many families use a simple sequence like bath → feed → cuddle → comforter + white noise → bed. Keep lights dim, voices soft, and the order the same each night so the cues become second nature.
Try tonight
- Keep the same order every night.
- Dim lights and use a calm, unhurried tone.
- Use your Riff Raff comforter/white noise as the signal that bedtime starts.

We love Bandit! ★★★★★
My daughter is 11 months, has never slept through the night and needs us to cuddle her until she is asleep and then transfer into cot. … We have added Bandit into the normal bedtime routine, I put the music on first to help calm her then once she was drifting off I switch to the heartbeat and keep that on when I put her into the cot. From night one she stopped waking back up and her day naps have gone from 30–45 min to 1–1.5 hrs!

My baby LOVES her Riff Raff! ★★★★★
From the moment she met Bandit there was an instant connection. … I put the lullaby on at night with the matching bedtime book and she drifts off quickly. Thank you Riff Raff team for helping this new Mumma establish a loving and sweet bedtime routine!

Love Love Love ★★★★★
From the moment ‘Bandit’ arrived, my boy loved it. … The lullaby is so sweet and helps calm my boy down so quickly. I have incorporated Bandit into his bedtime routine and he smiles as soon as he sees it. I can’t believe how well it went even though he was already over 8 months old.
