bath time nightly routine ?

So, I gave Sam a bath tonite and nursed him afterwards.  How does everyone else do this?  He crashed during nursing and didnt even "finish".  Im a little worried I will be getting up with him shortly to finish his meal. 

Any tips?

Re: bath time nightly routine ?

  • no tips. I'm trying to figure out a night routine. ds sleeps all day still so it'll a little hard to show him this is a different thing and he's supposed to sleep longer after this meal. I dunno.

    I guess you just keep doing it until once day it clicks with them.

  • I usually give a bath, get him in PJs, then nurse him and he falls asleep.  Then I swaddle him, which wakes him up some, and nurse him again where he gets some more milk.  Whether I give a bath or not, though, he falls asleep while nursing around 7pm.

  • We do nap, book and cuddle if he isn't hungry right away, and then nurse to sleep.  In my experience he stays asleep longer if he nurses to sleep than he does if I have to rock him to sleep because he isn't that hungry. 

    If the hunger were stronger than the need to sleep, he would have nursed longer, so I would say he did "finish".  Good luck, I hope he stays asleep!

  • My DD only slept through the night when she got a bath.  We bathe her every night and if she gets a bottle afterward she will crash in the middle of the feeding.  I swaddle and put her to bed.  She does well.  If the bottle comes before the bath, she will finish it.  We go with the flow and do it both ways.  I wouldn't worry tonight and see what happens.  He will let you know which way he prefers it.

  • I nurse then bathe her.  She sleeps 10-12 hours straight after that.
