Our Bedtime Routine

Our Bedtime Routine

After taking the Taking Cara Babies courses we were set up for success at bedtime but knew it was important to have a bedtime routine.

I wanted to create a bedtime routine that was simple and that we could realistically commit to doing every night. Some details might seem small and unnecessary but I think they are all important steps.

Here is what we do:

1st- Enter the nursery around 6:50pm

2nd- Feed Bella 6oz bottle while holding her in the rocking chair

3rd- Make sure Bella gets a really good burp

4th- Take Bella to the changing table in her room, change her diaper, add butt paste, put on her nighttime diaper with a pull-up over it (she always wakes up wet if we don't do this).

5th- Put her footie PJ's on with a thin sleep sack on top and then a fleece sleep sack over it. (She use to use the Magic Merlin so I think she likes a little more weight).

6th- Sit back in the rocking chair and my husband comes in to read a book.

7th- He says goodnight, turns on the humidifier and then leaves the room.

8th- I turn on the sound machines, then turn off the bedroom light, kiss her goodnight, lay her down, and walk out. (I try to lay her down at 7:20pm).

Quick- Simple- Easy to do every night
