Cosy evenings, sleepovers, sleeping in, and long light-filled days it must be the summer holidays!
But every good thing must come to an end, including staying up late. It’s almost time for school again, and your children will need to get up early. After all those fun late nights, that routine is no longer in their system. That’s why it’s a good idea to gently get children back into the right rhythm before school starts. But how do you do that?

Of course, you want your little one to sleep just as comfortably as you do. A good pillow and a cosy duvet are naturally part of that.

But from what age can your child sleep with a pillow? And when is it time to introduce a duvet?

At our home, it’s the moment we end the day all of us together on mum and dad’s big bed, reading a book. A consistent routine is very comforting for many children, and the need for that final moment together is often strong. Mum’s familiar and soothing voice guiding you from a busy day into a new night.

We’ve put together our top 5 children’s books especially for this ritual. Also lovely as a birthday or new baby gift.

For many parents, this will sound familiar. Your child wakes up during the night and comes to snuggle into your bed. Some don’t mind this at all and even find it cosy and comforting. Others, however, start to wonder whether it might be time for their child to sleep in their own bed. But what is the right thing to do? There isn’t really a single correct answer. Opinions on this vary widely around the world.
