Question

Just curious. Since transitioning from the swaddle we don’t have much of a routine so I was wondering what everyone else does to put their baby to sleep. Also, how long does bedtime take, what time do you put them down and what’s their longest stretch of sleep? I need tips if you can’t tell 😂 
Our routine is pjs, diaper change, sleep sack, and rock/feed to sleep. Takes an average of 30-45 minutes all said and done. Asleep by 10/10:30 and longest stretch of sleep is generally 7-8 hours.

Answer

Most night ours consist of a bath, pj's, bottle, story then bed and if I'm doing it to get him straight into bed it'll take like 30 minutes, he's in bed between 8pm and 9pm and sleeps until 9am/10am 
But it doesn't happen like this every night and sometimes I will get him his bath pj's and bottle and then take him out to see his dad for a little while at his work, he works across the road from us at a hotel/bar, it's like your typical small town pub that's extremely friendly, all of the customers love to see him so he will stay up for a little while to say hello to some of the regulars that have known his since he was born and then drift off in his pushchair and then I will transfer him from the pushchair to his bed and he will stay asleep throughout it all

Answer

bath (on the nights he has one) pjs, sleep sack, sound machine, all lights off but one on his night table. bottle then to bed. He sleeps from 8pm-730/8am. I’ve always put him in his crib awake and he is able to fall asleep on his own. As that was huge for me, I didn’t want to constantly have to rock him asleep or do other tips or tricks. So from 10weeks when we moved him to his crib, we put in him in awake, and now he has no issues going to sleep on his own. 🤗

Answer

Sometime between 7 and 7:30pm we do: Bath, pjs, book, feed, sleep suit, then turn on her sound machine, and pacifier. She puts herself to sleep after that. (We will skip the book or read while she’s eating when she’s extra fussy)

Answer

Every night between 7:30 and 9:30 (if we had an event or late dinner it can be 9:30) he gets a short bath (soap dependent on how much he spiked himself that day). Lotion/massage. Jammies or onesie depending on house temp. Swaddle (love to dream). Box fan, ceiling fan, and sound machine on. By this point he’s usually crying for boob. Lights out except some Christmas lights in the corner and we rock and nurse until he pulls off and purses his lips. He usually wakes up when I put him in bed and I give him his pacifier and he goes back to sleep by himself.
Not that it matters because he gets up at 10, 12, 2, 5, 7, and 9. I am dying

Answer

Ours is simple - bath(on the days we do baths), feed, read a story, diaper, Jammie’s, sleep sack, sound machine, put him in crib, say goodnight and close his door :) total about 30-45 minutes and he sleeps from 7:30 - 7

Answer

We start bathtime between 6:45 and 7 each night. After bathtime we change into jammies and have our last bottle in the rocking chair. Finish eating around 7:30, then a few minutes of snuggles and into the crib she goes. Sometimes she’ll fuss for 10 or 15 mins (for a long time she would just silently flail around while trying to get comfortable 😂), but she normally falls asleep before 8pm. 
Sometimes she wakes up during the night, but she almost never cries. If she does cry, I’ll let her fuss for 10-15 minutes and she normally puts herself back to sleep. More often than not though, she just babbles and makes some noises, and then falls back asleep. I go into her nursery between 6:45 and 7am to start the day!

Answer

We just put her in her magic merlin and nurse to sleep and she sleeps 10-12 hours in the crib.. also use white noise. She's amazing!!

Answer

Simple here too! 🙋🏻‍♀️ on bath days we do bath time (every other day) get into pjs (which is just a onesie sometimes little pants since bub runs so hot 😂) kinda hang out until he is ready for bed (it’s always around the same time 6:30-7 ish) and then he’ll start nuzzling his head into our shoulders and I’ll go lay down with him and breastfeed him to sleep ☺️ usually he has a nap around 5:30 and then a bottle when he wakes up from that nap as well. If he doesn’t have that nap he gets over tired and is rough to get down
