bedtime help needed

jen&gene

so my lo will be 3 months in 2 weeks and my ds will be 2 years in 3 weeks and i still have not gotten a bedtime routine down.  i have one with ds and i am trying to ween him from being rocked to sleep, so at night he gets his milk, stories, and then bed...which is in the crib and i sit in his room til he falls asleep.  he was doing well with this ( i didnt even have to sit in his room in the beginning) but i feel like he has regressed because now i have to stay and it can take up to 2 hours!  he goes to bed between 730 and 8 and I am in his room some nights until 10.  this is frustrating me because i want to spend time with #2 and start a routine with her. 

I havent read any stories to her or put her to bed at a specific time....some nights she is asleep by 9 and some nights she is up til 12.  Right now I am bathing them in the morning since i am home andit is easier, but i will eventually need to do it at night.

Is anyone else having similar issues?  thanks.  sorry for the grammar but i have a wiggly baby on my lap....lol

We had to wean ds#1 from bed sharing with us at 1 year old, he is almost 2 now and still takes forever to fall asleep. we.read books, brush teeth , sing songs then put him in his crib, turn on his crib music machine & leave room...he usually screams for 10 min & falls asleep...meanwhile ds#2, 11 months will stay awake until 11 pm..i need to start putting ds#2 in his crib awake so he learns to fall asleep alone. When ds#2 sleeps through the night I will have him sleep in same room as his bro
