Bedtime Routines! ππ
Bedtime routine for my baby, she's almost 10 weeks β€οΈ: around 8pm we're usually settling on my bed and having very short playtime and lots of cuddling. Then by the time 9pm rolls around, I lay out one of her blankies for us to lie down on after changing her diaper and putting her into her PJs. Once we're comfortable, she nurses for a long time until she falls asleep for the night around 10:30-11pm. I keep her in my bed next to me until the house gets absolutely quiet. That way, if she gets startled awake, she will see that I am right next to her and fall asleep again. When the house is finally quiet for the night, I gently pick her up and put her into her bassinet. If she tries to stir awake, I gently pat her butt to let her know I'm near. There are plenty of times that she wakes up whenever I do try to move her to her bassinet. This isn't a successful bedtime routine post. It's how most nights go but there's plenty of restless nights. On those nights where she's having trouble falling asleep, I rock her in my arms while singing/humming "Baby of Mine" or "You'll Be In My Heart" until she comfortably falls asleep. I wanna know your bedtime routines! β€οΈ
