Night time routine

We are still fully winging it as my toddler takes most of our time but he comes to bed when we go to bed and then I’ll do final feed when I can see he’s getting tired anywhere between 10-11.

My girl barely sleeps during the day, very very short couple of naps, but she sleeps amazing at night, we go to bed early, 6/630 because shes tired then but she sleeps for 13/13.5 hours. Dream feeds during the night. We tend to sing some nursery rhymes, and then every 2nd night has a bath and then ready for bed, then feeds to sleep. If shes not having a bath we just sing some nursery rhymes and get ready for bed, feed to sleep.. I did try reading story at bedtime but she doesnt appreciate it 🤣🤣 so we do stories through the day. As soon as we lay down she just wants to feed to sleep 💜💜 and I go to bed with her, once she is asleep I watch some stuff on my phone using headphones. And we co sleep so definitely still in same room. Id like to get a better routine going for bedtime but I dont know what.. this little routine works for now but dont know if its enough.. but if it ain't broken why fix it I guess 💜💜

Still completely winging it all! No strict bedtime routine apart from make it dark, put some white noise on, sometimes we get her to sleep downstairs and we watch tv until 10 then take her up and put her in her sleep bag, feed and put down, other times we go up early and put her in her sleep bag and get her to sleep. She hates being put down so we do still hold her for quite a while until she is sound asleep. I know we are probably doing something wrong but we are very much still learning how to be parents

Depending when her last nap finishes really, ive noticed her last wake window is around 2.5 hours- some days she makes this no issues other days shes a bit grumpy. I take her upstairs, pyjamas, sleep sack, white noise and basically just sit with her on the bed holding her till she drifts off. Then the dreaded transfer. Usually shes asleep for 7:30pm latest 8pm. I come back downstairs, eat, obsessively watch the baby monitor and then go up around 10! 😃

We usually do bath time, PJ's and final feed between 7-8, stick the monitor on and go downstairs for an hour or 2. Then come to bed. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get her down so if it takes ages I might just go to sleep too! It's a bit difficult now she wants to go to sleep earlier as we feel like we are rushing dinner before but don't want to eat too late!

Our little girl goes down at 6/6:30pm after a bath and cuddle. We do a final bottle and then put her down in a dark room with rain sounds playing. She's usually pretty easy to get her to sleep, so long as her last nap wasn't too long before (around 4/4:30pm). Then she sleeps straight through until 5:30/6am. We started doing this routine so that me and my husband could eat dinner together and have a bit of time together. It works really well for us and LO seems to thrive on the routine. I found it scary putting her to sleep alone in the room at first, but we use the Owlet and a baby monitor to keep a close eye on her, then I'm in bed next to her by about 9pm.

no real routine, typically goes to sleep between 8:30 and 9:30, sometimes we do bath, sometimes we don’t, very much dependent on her mood.
tonight for example, we were out, had a 20 min walk home at like 7:20pm she fell asleep…after a huge meltdown because she hadn’t slept much in the day… so i took her out the buggy at home (she woke slightly) put her in her sleep sack and gave her a bottle and she went straight back to sleep…it is possible i’ve now got an early wake up in the morning, but it’s better than having to entertain a clearly tired baby for a wake window 🫠
