bedtime routine

EverydayMommy09

I seem to be having a hard time setting up a routine, especially with a 3 yr old

So, when do you start your routine? when is it in correlation to the previous feeding?

Also, if you put them to bed early (7ish) do they wake up again in a few hours or is this their long stretch? 

sorry for all the questions, I just can't remember how we got DD on her routine this little. TIA

LO is still going to bed around 10.  After the feed between 9 -10 I put him in pjs and feed him with the lights out.  I tried to put him down at 8:30 with ds and he ate at 2 and 5:30. Usually he just does one overnight feeding.

DD1 is 3 and goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. I typically give DD2 a bath around 8:30, followed by bottle then swaddle then bed usually between 9:30 and 10.. Sometimes I rock her depending on how sleepy she is. Sometimes she goes right to sleep, sometimes I am back and forth several times putting the paci back in her mouth. She is usually up between 3 and 4 am for a bottle.

We start about8:15ish and E gets a bath then a massage from dad, then straight to the boob. Then it's kisses and off to bed, swaddle, womb noise machine and his favorite paci. I'll sing to him while doing that and he is usually drifting off before I leave the room. He sleeps until sometime between 2-4 to eat.
