Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it as much as possible.

Just make sure that they know what's coming next so it feels less stressful on both ends of things when its time for lights out. Maintaining an established schedule will allow everyone involved (especially yourself) some much needed relaxing moments before need arise again next day morning.
Keep evening activities calm and relaxing.
To help your baby sleep better, play music that is slow or passive activities such as calming instrumental pieces in the background while reading them stories with soft lighting around you both sitting on opposite sides of an aisle facing each other so their eyes are focused only on one spot at all times!
Make sure your baby's bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool.
Try dimming lights and turning off electronics an hour before bed so they’ll associate these cues with getting ready for sleep time. Even if you think they are sleeping, make an effort to keep their door closed when coming or going so that it doesn't attract any attention from the kids in another room! Also just like many other aspects of sleep, the bedroom temperature has a lot to do with your body's natural rhythms. Keeping it on cooler side helps you get ready for bedtime by naturally preparing yourself and getting that tired feeling in all over again!
Nurse or give your baby a bottle before bedtime.
Some babies can be comforted by Nurse or giving them a bottle before bedtime. The calming effect of mother's milk is thought to help reduce anxiety in children who have trouble falling asleep, but this isn't always the case for everyone! It really depends on how your child feels about consuming food near his/her rest time - some may find it soothing while others won’t because tastes are subjective after all.
Put your baby to bed when they're tired, but not exhausted.
This will help ensure that they sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed in the morning.
