Two Under 2

bedtime routine?

With DS1, we started a bath/bottle/book/bed routine at 6w.  I really think that having a routine contributed to his STTN at 2m. (He had some regressions, but overall is good about going to bed.)

Now DS2 is 6w, and I can't figure out how to work him into the bedtime routine.  I can't bathe them both together, and if I do DS2 after DS1 is in bed, it will likely wake up DS1 (bath is next to his room).  If I do DS2 before DS1, his bedtime will be like 5:30 or something crazy early.

It's more doable on nights that DH is home, but I'd like a routine that we can use *every* night - and there are probably 5-6 nights/month where one of us is not here for bathtime.

So, what is your bedtime routine for 2 under 2?  Mine are 6w and 15m at the moment, if that makes a difference.

TIA!

Re: bedtime routine?

  • I wanted to share that I am having a rough time with this too, but it hasn't kept my 2 month old from sleeping through the night.  He just started sleeping from around 8-9pm (whenever I get him his nightime feeding and get him asleep), until 6-7am, just like his brother who had a very stable routine that I was a little crazy about.
