Lately I've been nursing her before DH takes her for her bath and bed. Sometimes if I'm not on the ball, she will have her bath first then I'll nurse her before bed. I don't think she even needs it anymore, she really just does it for comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-523068 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:59:29 +0000 woodentulip 523068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the last milk with dinner. I nurse before I cook, then we eat and she has milk with dinner.<br /> With both kids I actually dropped nursing/bottles first with the bedtime routine. I felt so much more freedom once I decided that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-523050 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:55:06 +0000 cvbee 523050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still do milk last. We do teeth brushing at bath time too. 9 months and 2 teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-522515 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:16:08 +0000 tequiero21 522515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, I need the bottles to put them to bed right now. I brush teeth during bath. Then give bottles and then they sleep. 9.5 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-522489 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:11:34 +0000 winniebee 522489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 months and bottle comes right before bed (after bath). No teeth yet so not an issue, though I know I'll eventually have to change things up. Like everything else I worried about relating to sleep (swaddle weaning, transition to crib), I'm sure it will be fine....but that I'll still worry about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-522406 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:54:54 +0000 Sammyfab 522406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO gets a bottle after his bath but before jammies. The bottle does not have a calming effect whatsoever! Even when I nurse him before bed he doesn't get the least bit drowsy. Sometimes he only drinks an ounce, other times he takes 5oz. regardless, he expects a bottle during our bedtime routine. I'm not sure when we will start brushing his teeth before bed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-522373 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:48:40 +0000 Weagle 522373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still doing milk to go to sleep. I'm trying to figure out how to switch it up now that LO is finally getting teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-522144 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:39:09 +0000 heffalump 522144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give LO a bath, get her in her Pj's, and then sit in the glider and give her milk. She only has a few sips and doesn't seem to need it..... I think we do it just for comfort and routine now. And then after that we brush her teeth and put her in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-routine-and-milk#post-521729 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:12:51 +0000 miranlee 521729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is your LOs last bottle of the day? Before bath or after? Last thing before s/he goes to bed? With dinner? Are they even hungry for milk after having a meal? </p> <p>It has such a calming effect on the baby, but now that teeth brushing is part of the bedtime routine, I'm trying not to have it be the last thing we do before she goes in the crib. Just wondering what other's do. </p>
