What does your bedtime routine look like?

Question

I still breastfeed and thats the only way my daughter goes to sleep. However, i am planning to wean her as soon as possible and i would like to know how long are your bedtime routines and what do they consist of. Thanks!

Answer

First we say goodnight to dada and get a kiss and then gather her snuggle buddies and go to her room. We get a fresh diaper and pajamas on then brush her teeth (singing teeth brushing song included). Then we read one or two bed time stories and I'll say "that was a fun story but now it's time for bed". I carry her to her room while saying goodnight to the animals and turning out the lights. Then I give her a drink of water, tuck her in and give her a kiss.
She's very used to the routine and falls asleep easily. She's usually yawning by the end of the bedtime stories.

Also in the same boat. Glad to see I’m not alone! I am ready to wean, but I know it’s going to be hard for my little guy.  We also bed share, so our plan is to get him his own big boy bed for his room and daddy is going to start a bed time routine in his big boy bed.  I will let you know how that goes!

Answer

Our bedtime routine is bathtime first, this always calms him down and gets him in the rountine of bedtime, then we get in jammies and Lay on the couch together to watch tv, then about 15 min later, he’s sleepy so I lay him down in my bed and I snuggle next to him. We sing and talk about the moon and stars, usually within 5-10 minutes hes out. Sometimes he does want me to rock him while hes laying on my chest.

I still bf my 2 yr old but I feed him out in the lounge room then take him to bed, he lays down and I say shhh close your eyes ( we bed share but he sleeps there alone until I come to bed) daytime nap I just feed him to sleep because it’s easier and quicker

Following, I’m in the same boat and very clueless on how to transition easily!
