What’s your nighttime routine?

Question

Looking to see what works for everyone. Our LO is a month old...has days and nights switched most of the time.

Answer

Around 11 when he gets cranky we swaddle, pacifier, rock, and butt pats. Puts him out like a charm. 10 weeks old. During the night we keep the lights off (there is a nightlight) and I don’t talk to him. It’s eat and back in the bassinet. About 12lbs they get better at sleeping.

Answer

My son is 5 months, but at 2 months we started this routine: 
8pm- bottle
8:30- bath, lotion, pjs
9:00- read a book and then rock until drowsy. 
The I lay him in his crib snd he's usually asleep by 9:30 or a little earlier.

Answer

My daughters two and she has slept in her own bed through the night since she was three months. I read an article while up late feeding her one night when she was days old, about sleep training. I followed it and it seemed to work. My daughter was 8lbs 3oz when born, and was a chunky baby so that probably helped her sleep through the night early. Anyways, the article said that when your newborn is up during the day, stimulate them when they’re up. Talk to them, play with them, go on a walk, take them outside, put them by a window, etc. But when it’s night time, and they wake up for their feedings, keep the lights low and dim, pick them up and feed and soothe them, keep things really quiet and relaxed, and then get them right back to sleep if possible. Of course babies aren’t perfect, so it’s hard to stick to this routine exactly, but if you keep doing it and make it a routine I think it works! Now that she is older, her routine is dinner and playtime when we get home from work and daycare (she stays with my mom while I’m working), bath time, story time/or a tv show, and then bedtime. She still goes to bed with milk. (But I dilute the milk, 1/2 milk, 1/2 water).
