Among the authentic prayers that can be recited as your baby falls asleep, the most common are those recited by the Prophet (peace be upon him) for children and grandchildren:
Ayat al-Kursi (Qur'an 2:255) — reciting before bed is a general Sunnah practice.
Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Surahs al-Falaq and an-Nas) — The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to recite these three surahs and blow on his palms and pass them over his entire body every night before sleep (Sahih al-Bukhari, Merits of the Qur'an, 14). You can do the same for your baby.
It is also reported that he made the following prayer over his grandsons Hasan and Husayn:
> "I seek refuge for you by Allah's perfect words from every devil and harmful creature and from every evil eye that brings harm."
You can recite this three times before bedtime and gently blow toward your baby. Reading these surahs with a calm tone as your baby drifts off creates both spiritual protection and a soothing routine. There is no special situation that requires consulting a religious scholar — these prayers are within the scope of general Sunnah practice.
