Tanya, she's beautiful! Congratulations! So how are things going with you and your family? I hope things are great! How are you adjusting to being a mom? It's even difficult the second time around. I really had to adjust to having two babies. And then, I went back to work last week, so now I have to adjust to being a mom to 2, and working, and taking care of the house and everything else. It's a very busy life!

My dd is 10 months, her bedtime routine begins at 8:30 PM with a feeding, then a bath, and by 9:00 she's in her crib wearing her jammies. I sing her a song and sit with her for a few minutes, then it's lights out. Sometimes she cries, sometimes she doesn't, it depends on how tired she actually is. Our problem is that she still wakes at least once a night, sometimes twice. Usually it's because her diaper is wet, but she also has eczema that really bothers her, and she won't settle down again unless she's had a snack (a 4 oz bottle). Hubby says that she's using the bottle as a comfort and we should try to keep her off of it, but that's easy to say when you don't have to deal with the screaming at 3 AM (he usually sleeps through it all).

my ds is 3 months. Bedtime routine starts at 8pm with a bath, then I read 1-2 books to him and then he has his bottle -- its a great routine -- once his feet hit the bath water, he starts to yawn -- it's his trigger that night-time is here and it's time to settle in for the night.

Every night when I get home. dinner is cooked or either its ready . While they girls are eating their dinner, I feed my son who is 6 months. After dinner I clean up and they play. After that all 3 of them take a bath together. After bath time is story time and my husband or I give our son a bottle before his bed time. We also watch cartoons and right now I am teaching my 3 year old her abc's and numbers, so we work on that. 8:00 is bed time for all 3 of them. Girls share a room, so I put on a movie and they both watch a little tv in their room and go right to sleep.

My ds is 7 months old. Our bedtime routine includes: Walk, bath, book, bottle, bed. It takes a hr to get all that done. My lo is in bed by 7pm.

My DS is 14 weeks old and his night-time routine is the same, though the start time varies. I try to get him in his jammies before his second-to-last bottle (which is around 6 or 7pm). Anywhere from 9 to 11 he gets his last bottle in his bedroom on the glider with the lights down low and soft music playing. No talking either. Since he's usually already asleep before eating at this time, he stays asleep. Once he's done eating, I hold him on my shoulder for 15-20 minutes to help digestion, then gently put him on his side in his crib. He's out for the night (about 6 or 7 hours). I wonder when I'll get to getting him down at 8 or 9pm...

so iguess the key is keeping the routine the same right?

With the same elements, yes. Make something consistent so they start to learn "this is bedtime for the night." For my son, it's got to be the low lighting and soft music. Which, of course, makes ME sleepy, but I'm the adult and have to deal with that! Good luck.

MY lo is 3.5 months. Her routine is pretty simple- around 630 or 7- Change diaper, put on jammies, nurse in her bedroom with fan on for white noise, and no lights except night light. She nurses till she is super full and super drowsy- Then I put her in her crib ( she is awake but super groggy), swaddle her, and she goes to sleep. If she fusses a little bit I pop in her paci-. we usually do baths in the am - every other day

baths energize my lo at 8 weeks old so I give her those during the day as well. We like to give her a bottle around 8 and then she is asleep at around 9 pm each night on her own, about when we go to bed. Also our apartment has alot of windows and we don't have drapes yet so she is up an hour or so before daylight. Thats helped put her in a routine as well. It's getting her to sleep through the night that is hard. She still wakes up 2 or 3 times.

My lo is 13wks. I bathe him (only every few days), put on lotion, jammies, dim the lights, nurse him and put him in his crib still awake. He usually falls asleep in a few minutes. If he is still pretty alert we turn on his sound machine. The nites I don't bathe him we wipe him down, change...and same routine. He is on such a schedule now, he fusses if it's pa__sed his bedtime and wants to be alone:)
