What's your bedtime routine like? Our bedtime routine consists of changing her into her nighttime diaper and pjs, nursing, giving her vitamins, reading a story, then singing her a song as we bring her upstairs to her crib. This has been happening by 6:30pm most days.

How do they fall asleep? She sucks her thumb and falls asleep easily with no crying, usually no noises at all.

Are they still waking throughout the night? Nope! She's a great sleeper.

What time do they typically wake up? Now that's a good question. The last two days she woke up at 9am, which is amazing. She's letting me sleep in before I have to go back to work next week! But I still think that normal is for her to get up around 7:30am. I'm going to have to wake her up at about 7am in order to nurse her before work so we'll see how that affects her routine.

What's your bedtime routine like?

I change his diaper, feed him his bottle, turn on nature sounds and lay him down in his crib with his puppy and blanket. We usually start bedtime around 7:30-7:45.

How do they fall asleep?

If I'm lucky he falls asleep right away no problem. If I'm unlucky, he cries and I rub his back or belly depending on if he's laying on his back or tummy until he gets drowsy.

Are they still waking throughout the night?

Yes. Ugh. At least twice if not three times. The past few nights have been worse, because he has an ear infection.

What time do they typically wake up?

He's ready to wake up for the day around 9:00.

What's your bedtime routine like? We do bath sometime between 7:30-8pm. Then she gets changed into PJs, gets a bottle, plays a little bit, some snuggles, and finally dh says goodnight, ju says goodnight and I say goodnight and I put her in the crib.

How do they fall asleep? It just depends on how tired she is. Sometime she'll fall asleep within minutes, other times she'll cry for 20 or so until she passes out.

Are they still waking throughout the night? Not normally. She'll cry out maybe 1 or 2 times sometimes but I just put a paci back in her mouth and she's good.

What time do they typically wake up? Anywhere between 5:30-8am. I wish there were be a specific time.
