Anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour, depending on how tired she is. Lately I've been leaving the room so she can fall asleep by herself, which has been helping cut down on the time I think.
How long is your LO's bedtime ritual these days?
-
Very quick - if we count after shower, it's pjs, brush teeth and bed. If she showers early for some reason she plays in her room a bit before she goes in her crib.

For E it's pretty short, maybe 5-10 minutes. For A, it's much longer because she has learned she can stall. She wants more books, and needs more animals/books in her bed, her water needs more ice, she needs just one more bear hug from both of us. Then wants us to hold her hand. It gets exhausting but I try and remember she will only be little for a little while longer.

I do a shower for DD1, bath for DD2, and then storytime together. It takes about an hour for 2 kids. 30 min for the bath/shower and we read for another 30 min. Then I say night night to both and leave their rooms.

About ten minutes... We head upstairs, use the potty, and have a vitamin. Then we brush teeth and wash hands/face. Then it's off to the bedroom for a diaper/pj change and into the crib he goes with a hug and kiss. He lays down, I hand him each of his stuffed animals individually and we say goodnight to them. Then I pull up his 2 blankets and leave the room.

It's pretty short. We'll change his diaper, put him in a sleeper if he isn't already wearing one, zip him into his swaddle, and walk away. So 5-10 minutes depending on what's happening with the diaper.

If you include the bath it's probably 45 mins. We do a bath, brush teeth, get changed into pjs, read books or play in the living room for 15-20 mins, then go upstairs to his room and read for 10-15mins before turning off the light.
