So far DH and I have been putting one girl to bed each. Each night we pick who is putting to bed who and from then on we compete who gets to relax first. I usually lose... Anyway, I am worried about the days hat will surely come soon, when DH is traveling and I have to put them both to bed. What's your routine? What does the older child do when you are putting the younger child to bed?
Re: Moms of 2+: how do you handle bed time?
This is my plan too. Big girl first, baby girl next!
This is us too. We put DD1 down using her normal routine and then DD2 usually likes to get in a big nursing session after DD1 goes down for the night. DD2 typically goes down for her biggest stretch of the night after that.
Luckily my oldest doesnt require much of a bed time routine. Do if she needs to go to bed first will read her books while I am feeding LO . Then I just take him up with me while I put her to bed and then deal with his bedtime routine.
This is what I do as well.
This is pretty much exactly our routine as well.
