Bedtime routine ??

Question

FTM! So our son just turned one month. Sleep is getting so much better! He does 3 to 4 hours wakes up feed change rock back to sleep then goes down for another 3 hour....
My question is when should we start a bedtime routine? He goes to bed when we go to bed which is anywhere from 9p to 11p he sleeps in our room in a pack n play. I want to get him in a routine just curious what we should do and when we should start it! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

Answer

We fell into a routine at 6 weeks ish.
The most important thing I find is that everything is set up before bedtime starts.
We start around 9pm. I change diaper, lotion, pyjamas, sleep sack, and nurse babe in the nursery before walking him across the hall to our bedroom to be put down in his bassinet with his soother.
Before it all starts, I go upstairs and make sure everything is set up (lights dim, white noise on, soother and cloths for spitup at bedside) so that when we go up it's already his sleep environment with minimal stimulation.

Answer

We started our bedtime routine around a month. He will be two months tomorrow and it works well for us. He do a bath between 8:15 and 8:30 followed by lotion and swaddle. Then he gets a bottle and a book read to him. My husband rocks him until he is drowsy and then puts him down. He also sleeps in a pack and play in our room. We just make sure we finish anything we need to do in our room before putting him down.
