He starts fussing as soon as we put him down for a diaper change because he knows what's coming and he does not like to go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-what-order-do-you-do-the-bedtime-routine#post-241470 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:21:52 +0000 HLK208 241470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath, lotion/massage, pj's, nurse during story time (DH reads to DS while I nurse DD), swaddle, pacifier.</p> <p>For DS it's bath, lotion, pj's, potty, brush teeth, story time, sip of water, prayers and kisses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-what-order-do-you-do-the-bedtime-routine#post-241356 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:02:02 +0000 emahlee 241356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath, book, feed, sleep... though sometimes we skip the reading part if he gets fussy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-what-order-do-you-do-the-bedtime-routine#post-236305 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 16:49:03 +0000 BeachMama 236305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried bathing as part of our routine but she would get soo upset after.

I wasn't asking about a schedule, but when LO was 6 weeks he ate almost every hour in the evening! I just asked because maybe you could start the bedtime routine a little earlier if she's fussing a lot at the beginning. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-what-order-do-you-do-the-bedtime-routine#post-236077 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:19:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 236077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mavrick - bath, pjs, milk, read books/ watch tv show, potty, brush teeth, bed. </p> <p>Sienna - bath, cream, pjs, nurse, bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-what-order-do-you-do-the-bedtime-routine#post-236066 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:15:53 +0000 mediagirl 236066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: well, she's only 6 weeks so we don't have a good schedule yet.

What is your bedtime routine like? Does your lo eat, bathe, read and sleep or bathe, read, eat and then sleep? Something else? </p>
