Summer can be a lovely time for family routines. However, it can also make evenings feel a little harder to settle. Longer days, busy outings and warmer weather can all leave little ones more overstimulated by bedtime.
As a result, winding down may take a little more time than usual. When that happens, a simple, calming bedtime routine can help signal that the day is coming to an end. In addition, the Colief Bedtime Range can be part of that routine, helping create gentler moments before sleep.
Why bedtime routines matter
Little ones respond well to familiar patterns. Therefore, repeating the same calming steps each evening can help bedtime feel more predictable and less overwhelming.
However, a bedtime routine does not need to be long or complicated. For example, it can be as simple as:
- dimming the lights
- lowering the noise in the room
- a warm bath
- a cuddle or story
- a calming bedtime product
The aim is not perfection. Instead, it is about helping your child move gently from a busy day into rest.
What is the Colief Bedtime Range?
The Colief Bedtime Range includes:
Both are designed to support calm, comforting bedtime moments in a simple, practical way. Because every child’s routine is different, each product can be used in a way that suits your little one’s age and stage.
Colief Bedtime Baby Rub
Colief Bedtime Baby Rub is suitable from 3+ months. It contains 100% natural ingredients, including lavender oil, pine oil, almond oil and coconut oil, and comes in an easy stick format.
It can be applied gently to your baby’s chest, stomach or back to help moisturise, soothe and comfort as part of a calming bedtime routine.
How to use it
A simple way to use it is after a warm bath:
- Keep the room calm and softly lit.
- Glide the rub gently onto your baby’s chest, stomach or back.
- Massage it in using slow, gentle strokes.
- Continue with the rest of your bedtime routine.
This can turn bedtime into a quiet moment of comfort and connection, especially after a busy summer day.
Colief Bedtime Patch

How to use it
- Remove the patch from its sachet.
