Bed time/nap time routine

AbbySeiden

I keep playing with and tweaking these - what are yours?

I just started the nap time routine today and so far it seems to work pretty well

Nap - sleepy cues slow things down, quiet down - diaper change - read a story, put him down and rub his belly and sing - sleep sounds (ocean) and I return to the room as needed

Bed - bath, massage with lotion feed, burp (in a calm quiet place), change diaper, swaddle rock and sing and put down with sleep sounds

I want to get rid of the bath part because many nights it's too hectic for the bath and the biggest difference between nap and night is the swaddle - any suggestions?
