Night time routine?

Question

How many June babies have a night time routine already? If you do, can you share it please and do you think this helps with your baby sleeping through the night for longer?

Answer

no routine at all. I get no sleep.

Answer

Baby girl is 5 weeks today and have been doing the same thing at night since she was a couple weeks old. We start with tummy time, then bath time, then I’ll get my oldest to bed, then she will take a bottle and I’ll lay her down for bed. She is sleeping for 3.5-4 hr at a time and she is up for the day at 6-630 every morning like clockwork. It has been a pretty good schedule. It does vary every night time wise but the same basic concept.

Answer

We have a routine, she usually takes a bottle at 9pm, then we do lotion and pjs, usually in bed by 11pm and she sleeps til 7 or 8. Honestly depends. Its so crazy that she sleeps through the night.

Answer

My best advice (since I have 2 kids) is to make your night time routine something that you can easily do away from home. We never added a bath as part of bed time and I’m so glad. We would change into pajamas, feed, read or sing, pray, then Lay her down for bed. This meant that anybody could easily do the routine, it can be done anywhere, and it can be done quickly when needed.

Answer

Trying to get a routine down more consistently. I’ve been starting at around 8 pm. Bath, breastfeed, story, bed. She goes to sleep after this routine maybe 50% of the time. If she doesn’t, I try an extra bottle. The bottle keeps her asleep much longer usually. The bath and start time tend to vary. I’d like to get this routine going at 7, but it’s difficult when my daughter wants to cluster feed every other night.

Answer

My little one will be 5 weeks on Sunday. We’ve had a solid routine since week 2. Bath every night at 7:00, lotion and PJs after. Bottle and in her bed asleep by 7:30-7:45. She will sleep until 4:00am. I’ll give her another bottle at that time and she is back to sleep until 7:30-8:00. I think consistency is key.

Answer

My baby was born June 3rd so he’s almost 7 weeks now. For bedtime around 9:00-9:30pm we get a little bath (sometimes it’s just water). Then I take him upstairs for the night, we get dressed for bed, I brush his hair and talk to him. 
I bring him into our bedroom where I play a nighttime lullaby and turn on our starry nightlight. I then prepare my diffuser with lavender and turn that on.
Probably around 10:00 I nurse him in bed while I watch Downton Abby or Fraiser lol. Do the usual burp, and then hold him upright for about 30 mins while rocking him. He usually falls asleep and then I put him down for the night probably around 10:30/11:00. It’s simple but does the trick for now.
The timeline varies but this is pretty much the nightly rundown. I think it helps! Baby is sleeping 4 hour stretches and is only breastfed.

Answer

After my oldest goes to bed I give her a bottle then we go to the bedroom and lay down and she usually falls asleep holding my finger

Answer

We’re loosely following my son’s. You want it firmly in place before 4 months, which is when they become much more aware and you start laying them down sleepy but awake so they can self soothe. 
We do bath, pjs, nurse, story, song/rocking, into bed. My son is 2 and his is exactly the same except he brushes his teeth now of course.

Answer

My LO is 6 weeks. Our routine is dimly lit room, sound machine on, diaper change, change into jammies, comfort nurse (because hubby already gave him a bottle), and rock to sleep with paci if he wants it. I will say that this helps him go to sleep...but it has not seemed to make him sleep any longer. He still wakes every 2 hours to eat...or to try to convince his Mama to snuggle him :-) But..he is a breastfed 6 week old, so pretty normal stuff.
