Our dd is 11.5 wks old and we want to establish a routine at night, I'm just not sure how to go about it. ??? :-[
What time is a good time to put them to bed and then what time would you dream feed?( I know it says 11 in the book, but if you didn't go to bed till say 12.30 would you make it later?) :-\
Do you bath before or after the feed? Would you massage in between?
Feel a bit silly asking but up until now dh has been working nights so we want to now do this together.
Would REALLY apprecite advice on what works best for you! :)

Don't feel silly for asking :) its a great question.
Our bedtime routine (Started at 8 weeks) ha always been as follows.
6:15pm Bath
6:30pm Bottle
The if she wasn't to tired a song, or reading.
Bed by 7pm
Dreamfeed at 10:30-11pm
If you want to do the massage I'd recomend that before the bath. Your routine should be molded to fit your LO :) you know your DD better then anyone else. For us a 7pm bedtime works. Find what works for her :) try different times, she'll let you know when she's ready for bed :)
