Bed time / night routine

Can you not have dinner earlier and the do bath etc then go to bed a little earlier? We have dinner around 5.30 then bath the kids at 6.30, then the oldest goes to bed for 7.30 and I breastfed my 12 weeks old on demand until she is ready at 9 to go to bed, we then sit in a dark room with white noise and feed her. You can get into a routine easy, just need to find one that works x

Can you get a camera so you don’t need to be in the room with her?
We’ve implemented a bedtime routine the past week and we also only bath every few nights.
We take her upstairs 7ish when our first little girl has been put to bed. We dim the room, and then Change happy and Get her in to her sleep suit and sleeping bag. If she’s had a bottle we then sit in the chair with her to get her to sleep or if not we give her a bottle in the chair and then have her fall asleep. We do this in her bedroom and then take her through to our room and put her in the next to me and put the camera on so we can see her.

Just to note, my first little girl we did everything “perfectly” and she was a terrible sleeper until 20 months, so I’m a firm believer find the routine that works for you and not what you see online as the perfect routine to get them to sleep through

My little girl is 9 weeks, and find bath, bottle, bed has really worked for us.

She has a bottle between 7-8pm, a nap for around one hour then bath around 9-9.30. We do baby massage after the bath with calm singing or a story. She will have her last bottle at around 10-10.30 and sleeps usually until 7am.
I know I’m lucky with her sleeping through but found a consistent routine really helps her know what’s coming next and she has been a lot more settled.

My little boy is 9 weeks. We have dinner between 5&6 he has a bath between 6.30/6.45 bottle and ready for bed by 7 and down settled by 7.45
It works for us and batch cooking has been a god send x

We still keep baby in the moses basket in livingroom until we go up to bed, as she sleeps through now anyway, so we just transfer her when ready. I remember starting a bedtime routine with our first baby and used to put him to bed in the next to me at 9pm but we had a baby monitor set up so we could keep an eye on him until we went up. I dont remember how old he was though. 🫤

If you have to have tea late then i would start your routine early and put baby to bed for 8:30 before you have tea. So maybe bath and brush teeth (when they come through) at 07:15-07:30, bottle at 8 and book/story at 8:15, in bed for 8:30? Or however long each thing takes for you? 🤔 it takes a bit of trial and error tbh. X

My little boy has started to fall asleep around 8/8:30 and we move him upstairs with us when we go to bed. With our first we started putting him to bed in his cot at around 4 months with the camera and then moved him to our room when we went to bed. That worked well in getting him into a routine. We will be doing the same this time
