Bedtime routine- bath then feed or feed then bath?
« on: January 17, 2014, 10:24:54 am »
Hi all

I have a 5 week old daughter, who has been on 3 hr Easy from birth. Her current bedtime routine is bath then feed then bed by 7pm. I was just wondering what others are doing?

Look forward to your replies!

Different things work for different babies (and parents of course). Most of the time we bathed and then fed so DS fall asleep on the bottle (many parents here let their LO fall asleep just with the BT feed because it helps LO calm down for the night) but I remember we had a couple of months in the beginning that DS was so hungry at bath time that he was screaming through it. So I gave him a bottle before, then bath and then a small top up before BT.

My DS wouldn't have a bath at that age so it was a quick top and tail and into pjs here, then feed, rarely fell asleep on the bottle though.

We did bath and then a feed at that age. Actually, at 5 weeks with 2 of mine, we did a feed before and a feed after.

Agree with both of mine up until around 10 weeks (i think) we did bottle before, to keep calm for bath and then top up after right before bed. Then we always did bath then bottle after that x
