** WIN ** “Goes to Sleep” Personalised Children’s Bedtime Book
Bedtime in our house has always been manic, as you would expect in the days we had a newborn, a one year old, a two year old and a ten year old. By the time I’d bathed each of them, read them a story, and finally got them settled, I’d be ready for bed myself! Now with the children that little bit older I’d love to sit here and tell you that we have got it covered, that the kids go to bed without a word of complaint and fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow – but I’d be lying!
As a result I am always searching for ideas to make our bedtime routine a little easier and when I was introduced to the “Goes to Sleep” bedtime book for children, I was really interested to learn more.
‘Goes to Sleep’ is a personalised children’s bedtime book featuring your child throughout. You can select a girl or boy, their hair colour, skin tone and preview each spread.
Using proven methods from world renown hospitals, The Children’s Sleep Charity and leading children’s sleep specialists, to help you develop a highly effective Bedtime Routine, the book is recommended for children between the ages of 6 months to 5 years, although older children would still enjoy it I’m sure.
I love anything personalised, and find that my children relate far better to stories they can actually imagine themselves being a part of. With the ‘Goes to sleep’ book tried and tested, I am hopeful that this will make a real difference and help parents whose children aren’t quite as keen to sleep!
We are offering one lucky winner the chance to win their own personalised ‘Goes to sleep’ book, RRP £16.99 simply by entering via the link below. The winner will be notified via email at close of giveaway on 3rd Feb. Good luck!
My youngest Granddaughter is only 18 days old so isn’t really focusing in on anything yet and my 4 year old has to be her Disney princess castle.
great fun reading stories
Lovely time for kisses and cuddles
love bathtime and storytime with my niece – just have to be strict about it being bedtime!
Bed times in our household start of quite nicely, bath, book and then bed…….and then that’s when the nightmare begins!!! Both my children (I swear) don’t need as much sleep as what I do, up and down the stairs all night with new reasons to talk to me etc lol. It can only get better!
Bath, book and bed is a lovely routine not only for sleeping but also for bonding.
Reading a book
Calming and relaxing. We have a great bedtime routine.
My daughters used to be little horrors at bed time but better now there in there 30s lol
Bath time is fun but we love story time in bed before sleep
Pretty good, we have a great routine
It can be quite stressful when they don’t want to go to bed, although when they are there they fall asleep quite quickly when having a story.
I don’t want to tempt fate, but we’re pretty lucky as we have a good routine going x
I find that it is best to develop a routine and stick to it as much as possible.
I love bedtime, especially stories beforehand although sometimes it can be difficult if my son isn’t in the mood to sleep!
Varied – sometimes brilliant and sometimes very unsettled. aaaagh
We have shower, story, teeth brushing and bed! A good routine has always worked for us.
My daughter loves a book at bedtime, she always settles down a treat then.
Quite good, now in routine, but no day is the same
Bed time has always been calm and easy with my children. I have always stuck to a routine which works for us. They both love me to read them a bedtime story then sing a couple of gentle nursery rhymes before saying night night.
manic. 6 kids 1 teen and another on the way
She is only 2 so we have some good and some horrendous bedtimes, if she is over tired they tend to be worse
I actually find having to read a nice story to my little man quite therapeutic for myself…but I have to be careful as it often sends me off to sleep too and I still have things to do like ironing, washing, cleaning etc 😉
fairly easy they have milk and cookies before they go to bed so they know after that its time to settle down x
As long as we stick to our normal routine bedtime is great
Easy at the minute as we only have 1 child who is 18 months. Routine is the same everynight so she knows what to expect! That’s the key!
My grandson is pretty good at bedtimes and loves his bedtime story.
Mostly good, my 3 year old is the most difficult to get to bed, until recently she used to sleep in our bed every night, im just glad to have her in her own room even if it takes a while to get her to sleep
I find it fine, we have a proper routine and try to stick to it every day that we can. She loves to be read a story every night and it’s a time I treasure
Not too bad, routine helps and winding things down for a while before you start getting ready for bed
They love their bedtime stories <3
Sometimes, bedtime can be the most stressful part of the day!!
Depends on the kids mood as to how long it takes them to go to sleep.
Really easy usually – my kids love sleep and slept over 12 hrs a night over the Christmas holidays (they’re 7 & 3!). But it will come back to bite me when they’re teenagers!
We have a great night time routine with our son (so far!) And he sleeps through the night because of it
Great routine, falls asleep quickly however he always wakes up a few times during the night and his two years old! never slept through once
i love bedtime with my girl because she gets so cuddly
My little one hears the word “bedtime” and he’s off. He loves going to bed.
My daughter always insists on a bedtime story
Bedtime stories are a must.
Straightforward-have always been firm with a bedtime routine so there are very rarely any issues. Both love a bedtime story.
My granddaughter loves a story at bedtime and a cuddle
Hit and miss, sometimes they go really easily, other times they can mess about for up to 2 hours, faffing about, requesting water and cuddles.
Its one of my fave times of day with the kids – all lamps, lullabies and love
its usually quite relaxed
Grandchildren are fine, may have to read a couple of stories then its night night
Maybe I’ve been lucky, but bedtime has never been as issue. We’ve always had a routine though. I’d love to win this for my brother and sister-in-law.
Stressful
My four granddaughters are pretty good at bedtime. Sometimes I read a meditation to the second eldest which is very effective.
With two I find it really hard, I try to wind down one and the other is going loopy. Trying to get into a routine of them both winding down together.
There’s an argument every single night.
Sometimes he will go down easy, other nights it’s full of crying and just general frustration all sides!
I love reading stories, has it is one on one time with each grandchild
I love it! i think its the time of day that we do the most bonding! x
Story time is the best 🙂 Whole bedtime usually goes quiet well 🙂
Bedtime is OK. Not great. My youngest still relies on his bottle to fall asleep. Keeping them asleep and out of our bed is the biggest problem!
perfect for my grand nephew who loves a bed time story
Okay if they go to sleep quickly. But sometimes he fights it and it takes ages. Then I feel very fustrated.
My grand daughter’s bedtime routine needs improving. Maybe a wonderful book would help.
I love the bedtime routine, a fun bubble bath, followed by snuggles on the sofa and then into bed for a story!
We have a good routine but it does take a long time!!
I love these kind of personal books
My grandson loves a bedtime story
Putting my kids to bed isn’t the problem… they love bath book and bed.. it’s keeping my youngest in his bed all night that’s the problem!!!
We have a bedtime routine which works well! Bath, Story, Lights out at a regular time.
My children are too old for stories and snuggles at bedtime now. But I love it when i have my Godson overnight, he has a nice warm bubble bath, 1 or 5 stories and then goes down. I miss mine being that small
My youngest daughter lived with me from nearly 3 yrs old (she is adopted). The majority of the time I had to read a lot of books to her and wait until she dropped fast asleep. It was very rare she would settle on her own and would constantly get out of bed and creep down the stairs. In a few months I will start having my granddaughter to sleep. We are just getting her into books
I love reading to my two year old granddaughter before bed
Not too bad if you follow a routine
My little boy loves a story before bed
After bath time We settle down and I read them a story. We all love it. For me it’s the best part of the day. Just me and my boys.
bath, hot milk, story and then bed x
Ava loves her bedtime stories
Bath, then milk and then a story usually helps set a good routine
Routine is key, bath, story and then bed
bedtime is fine. the routine is important as straying from that could lead to one very long evening.
I have a 15 month old and bedtime is stressful as he won’t nod off till late and has never slept a night through so I don’t enjoy bedtime
Bath and a bedtime story x
Difficult my daughter likes to fit sleep.
*fight sleep
We have a good routine so it is generally quite easy and peaceful
Luckily my daughter is really good at getting herself off to sleep although calming environment does help
I love reading them stories, they like it when I do the voices of the characters x
