DD pretty much set her own bedtime between 8:30-9p. I give her a bath around 8p, feed her and she falls asleep....except tonight where she fell asleep at 6:30p, oy....she'll probably be waking up soon to eat...

And she'll usually STTN, waking up around 5-5:30a.

I usually give DS a bath around 8 and then we play for about 20-30 minutes. Then I give him a bottle and he usually falls asleep eating and I take him to his crib. He has started going to sleep about 9:15, and it used to be 10. So he's slowly getting to bed earlier.

Depending on DS's cues, we start bedtime anywhere between 7:30 and 9. We do a bath (only use soap every other night), and then I feed him a bottle, read to him, rock, sing a little, turn on the white noise machine and put him down swaddled with a paci.

He usually falls asleep while I'm reading/singing/walking, but wakes up as soon as I put him down. The white noise machine, pacifier and swaddle help him put himself back to sleep.

The whole process takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on the night. Oh, and some nights we do it without the bottle- if he's tired enough and fed recently, he doesn't need it to fall asleep. We also swaddle with arms out now, unless he's really fussy. He likes to sleep with his arms over his head.

Oh, and he's STTN now- 8:30 or so until about 5 or 6.

DD usually has her last bottle around 1030 or 11, then I stick her in the crib, swaddle her up and she sleeps until around 7 or so.

DD usually has her last bottle around 11pm or midnight and then she goes into her crib (this just started happening on Sunday). She's sleeping until 4am or so.
