7 Steps to the Cutest Baby Morning Routine Ever!

## Why Baby Kabe’s Smile is the Best Part of My Day
Hey there! It’s me, your old pal, dropping in with some serious cuteness overload. We all know I’m a sucker for those baby smiles, and let me tell you, my little guy Kabe has perfected the art of the heart-melting morning grin. Honestly, it’s the best way to start the day, and I wanted to share some of what I’ve learned about establishing a joyful Baby Morning Routine. I think you’ll find that just a few tweaks can make all the difference.
Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Morning routines with a baby? Sounds like a recipe for chaos!” And you’re not wrong, some days it is. There are definitely moments when I’m covered in pureed sweet potatoes and wondering where I went wrong. But trust me, even amidst the messy moments, there’s so much joy to be found. A structured, but flexible, Baby Morning Routine is key to starting our day off right. It also sets the tone for a happy baby (and a slightly less stressed-out parent!).
## Step 1: The Gentle Wake-Up
Forget the blaring alarm clock! The key here is gentleness. I usually start by opening the curtains a little to let in some natural light. Then, I’ll softly sing a lullaby or whisper sweet nothings to Kabe as I gently rub his back. This gradual awakening helps him transition from sleep to wakefulness without any jarring surprises. In my experience, this makes him much less fussy from the get-go.
I think, for me, that the gentleness also means I am starting the day in a more relaxed frame of mind, which is good for both of us!
## Step 2: Diaper Change and a Little Love
Okay, so maybe diaper changes aren’t exactly *cute*, but you can make them a bonding opportunity. I like to talk to Kabe while I’m changing him, telling him about our plans for the day or just making silly faces. A little bit of baby talk and tickles can turn a mundane task into a moment of connection. Plus, a clean diaper equals a happy baby, and a happy baby is essential for a smooth Baby Morning Routine.

## Step 3: Morning Snuggles and Playtime
After the diaper change, it’s snuggle time! I love to hold Kabe close and just breathe in that sweet baby smell. We’ll cuddle on the couch for a few minutes, and then I’ll introduce some gentle playtime. This could involve a soft toy, a colorful mobile, or even just a simple game of peek-a-boo. The point is to engage his senses and get him moving and giggling. I think that just this little bit of play can make the whole day brighter for both of us.
## Step 4: Breakfast Time!
Fueling up is crucial! I always make sure Kabe has a nutritious breakfast to kickstart his day. Whether it’s baby cereal, pureed fruits, or yogurt, I try to offer a variety of flavors and textures to keep things interesting. And, of course, mealtime is another chance for some fun. I make silly airplane noises with the spoon, and he loves to grab at the food (and make a mess, naturally!).
## Step 5: A Quick Clean-Up
After breakfast, it’s time for a quick clean-up. This usually involves wiping down Kabe’s face and hands, changing his outfit if necessary (inevitable!), and tidying up the breakfast mess. I find that getting this done right away helps me feel more organized and ready to tackle the rest of the day.
## Step 6: Outdoor Time (Even if It’s Just a Few Minutes)
Fresh air can do wonders! Even if it’s just for a few minutes, I try to take Kabe outside each morning. We’ll go for a short walk around the block, sit on the porch and watch the birds, or just soak up some sunshine. The change of scenery and fresh air always seems to invigorate him (and me!). This is my personal favorite part of our Baby Morning Routine.

## Step 7: Story Time and Cuddles
Finally, we wind down with a story. I love reading to Kabe, even though he doesn’t understand the words yet. He loves the sound of my voice and the colorful pictures in the books. We’ll snuggle up on the couch, read a story or two, and then I’ll give him a final kiss and hug before putting him down for his morning nap. It’s such a sweet and peaceful way to end our Baby Morning Routine, and sets the stage for a good nap.
One morning, Kabe was particularly fussy. I tried everything – feeding, changing, rocking – but nothing seemed to soothe him. Finally, in desperation, I started singing a silly song about a dancing banana. And you know what? He started to giggle! From that day on, the “Dancing Banana Song” became a staple of our morning routine. It just goes to show that sometimes, the silliest things can bring the most joy. Remembering all the small victories in our Baby Morning Routine keep me motivated.
Remember, this is just what works for me and Kabe. The most important thing is to find a routine that works for you and your little one. Be patient, be flexible, and most of all, enjoy the journey. Those baby smiles are worth every messy moment! Finding your groove in your Baby Morning Routine can be a journey.
