What is your evening/bedtime routine for your baby?

Question

My LO is 3 months today. I usually get home from work around 5:30 or 6, change and feed him and he’ll play for a short time. By 6:30 or 7 he is ready to sleep so he naps until 8 or so and then we have a bath, bottle, and go to bed. Doing it this way, he’ll go to bed by 9:30 and sleep until 4. But because of his nap I would think he’s ready for bed that early, which I have tried to do before, and he wakes up every hour all night long. 😩 our routine works for now, but I keep seeing that babies shouldn’t nap after 5 and should go to bed early. I don’t want to mess him up 😔

Answer

I do a bath at 6 (I bathe him every other day so if it's a non bath day I go straight to the second step) 
Then I get him a bedtime bottle around 6:30 followed by a 6:45 book then he's off to sleep around 7pm- 7:30pm. 
He sleeps until 4 to eat then wakes for the morning at 6:30-7am

Answer

Upstairs, diaper, lotion, jammies, book, boob, bed

Answer

SO and I both work untraditional hours, so baby sleeps on our schedule. We start bed time at 8:30, and hes typically fast asleep by 9:30. He’ll sleep until 8,9,10 the next day. Our trick was we focused on bed time and let him make his own day schedule. He’s been sleeping that long since 5 weeks, and currently we are 15 weeks and teething and hes still going strong.
