I'm trying to do the nighly routine and its tough..Here's what I'm "trying" to do:
bath, read, then bottle
but when she's out of the bath, she's frustrated b/c she is not yet digging the bath, and also hungry, so I end up just giving her the bottle and trying to read to her at the same time.. but thats dificult with holding her the bottle and the book.
what do you do?
Re: Tell me your nightly routine
Could you give her the bottle before bath? then she won't be as frustrated? try bottle, bath, read/rock (or whatever you do to get her to sleep)?
We do cereal, bath, book, nurse, bed. DS was never a fan of baths until about 2 months so I can see how doing it before bed can be a pain. We never made it part of his bedtime routine until he started to like them. ?
He gets changed, fed and goes to sleep.
Reading takes place during his awake time, and we only do baths once a week.change, swaddle, feed, and then bounce to sleep.
The time always changes, but it's usually between 9 and 10 pm.
It sounds like your DC really isn't ready for a routine yet. That's okay. Every baby is different.
