At what age did you start your bedtime routine and what does it include? How did you decide on a bedtime? Every day is still kinda different still....my DD is 6 weeks old. Cant remember what we did with my 2 year old DD. Thanks!

    We have a very loose routine. We don't have an exact time since it depends on when he eats, but it usually starts around 8 or 9. We do bath, bottle, rocking chair and story time, and then put him down. We have a strict "no electronics in the bedroom" rule - no TV, laptops, phones, etc. and keep the lighting low. I feel like it's working well for us, but we haven't been at it very long.

    We started right around 6 weeks. We didn't decide on a bedtime we just followed her lead. She's just naturally ready for bed between 7:30 and 8:00. We turn the light off and lamp on and get her diaper changed, lotioned up and pajamas on. We put on a lullaby CD and rock her while we feed her her last bottle. Lay her in her bed and that's it.

    We cluster feed from 9pm until she starts to get sleepy, then DH swaddles her and I put her in the bassinet with her FP seahorse. She usually sleeps for about 6 hours :)

    And your LO's just go to sleep when you put them down?  We are having a hard time establishing a bedtime routine as well and DH wants to let her CIO...I'm not ready for that...
