Night Routines

Unfortunately the only routine DS has is eating every three hours followed by wake time then nap.  When the times line up nicely sometimes we do bath at night but sometimes we do it during the day.  I have heard some of you mentioning lotions and massages and I was just wondering if you could share your bedtime routines? Thanks!

    This varies by 30mins or so depending on when we finish eating our own dinner.

    7:00 Bathtime

    7:15 Lotion/Massage

    7:30 Bottle

    7:45 Rocking, soft music and bed.

    Ours varies by 30 mins or so depending on LOs naps:

    6ish-- nurse and play?

    6:45/7-- bath time

    7ish -- bedtime lotion, PJs, swaddle. Bottle of prune juice w/meds in dark nursery while being rocked.

    He usually falls asleep eating, then may wake back up. We aim for him to be asleep before 8. He's still adjusting to a new time zone from moving, so it's having some hiccups, but seems to be going well.?

    Bath, lotion with massage, BF him, and put him to sleep in his crib.

    8:00 She starts to settle in her swing while we eat dinner

    8:20 Bath/lotion/massage

    8:45 Storytime (yeah, she's young but she loves looking at the pictures, and listening to my or my H's silly voices)

    9:00 I nurse her or H gives her a bottle while she is rocked in our dark room with a sound machine (her favorite is the ocean sound)

    9:30 We put her down

    She sleeps until 4, nurses, and falls back asleep until 7ish
