Just like the title says...when did you start a bedtime routine with your little one?
Little one #2 is 5 weeks today and I can't remember when we started with #1 so I thought I'd see what the group says.
Hope everyone is having a great day so far!

With LO1, not until maybe 9 months!?!? That was when we really started doing dinner, bath, stories, nursing, bed.
With LO2, she kind of went onto LO1's routine from the very beginning.

I feel like we started bringing in a bedtime routine around 3 months. It evolved pretty organically though. First I started doing a bath every evening, then around 3 months we started putting her down every night around 7:30. At 1 year when we dropped the bedtime bottle, we added in a (long) round of stories every night.

We started around 2-3 months, just with bath, "reading" books and singing a few songs, then nursing to sleep. We didn't establish a serious routine until we did sleep training at 5 months.

Between 3-4 months.
Times aren't hard and fast, just usually start somewhere around 7 (when we started it was prob 9/10pm).
Bath time, diaper and pjs, bottle and "read" book, swaddle/sleep sack, lights out/pull shades and sound machine.

Probably from 4-6 months old when we were starting to CIO. With CIO at 6 months, it solidified. Now, it's a typical routine for us with bath, putting on sleeper, brushing teeth, books, etc.

We started doing a routine at 2.5 months - nothing exciting, just bath, pjs, read, sing, nurse .... pretty much the same thing we do now at 19 months except we nurse at the beginning instead of the end.

We started a very loose routine right away. Just around 6pm we did bath and book and nurse and pj's. Then around 4 months we did some light sleep training and enforced the routine a little more.

I think around 4-5 months we did bath, PJs, nurse, bedtime pretty consistently.
