What are your nap time and bedtime routines?
« on: March 24, 2006, 17:51:46 pm »
and how old is your toddler? 

Is it the same from when they were younger or has it changed?

Charlotte is just 2 years, 4 months old.  Our nap time routine is non existant - she's recently over the last few weeks dropped her nap completely (although I not convinced that she doesn't need it - she's cranky and really sleepy at teatime).

Her usual night time routine (on a typical week day when I've been at work).  We get home at about 6 pm.  Tea by 6.30 pm, play and then a bath.  Milk and story.  We aim to be in bed by 8 pm at the latest, but it doesn't always happen.

Lydia and Sam are 9 months old.  Night-time is bath, bottle then bed. Day time is nappy change then bed.

Harry is 2.5, he has bath, play downstairs while L&S are being fed, then story in bed.  Hasn't slept during the day since he was about a year old.  ::)

Lydia: 28 June 2005
Sam:  28 June 2005
David: 28 June 2005 - 12 August 2005
Daniel: 19 July 2007
That's all folks!
(Well, maybe another girl if I can convince DH!)

My ds is 14 months old.  Bedtime routine and Naptime routine are same.  Basically, we read a story, dance slowly to 2 songs(ranging from llubies, to U2 to country to Norah Jones to Baby Einstein!), walk around the house (a small pathway) about 3-4 times (him in my arms) and then I say "Mommy's going to put you down to bed now".  We go in his room, I put him in his crib, give him teddy and tell him I'll check on him later.  Then I go in later when he's sleeping to cover him as teddy is on the floor and the blanket is somewhere far away from him!

Dd1 is nearly 26m old - naptime routine is just potty, putting on a nappy, shutting the blinds, kiss and cuddle.

Bedtime is bath (incl teeth), potty, pjs and nappy, 3 stories, kiss and cuddle.

For naps she used to have a story as well.

For bedtime she used to have a massage after bath (stopped before 1yr) and bf (gradually moved out of bedtime routine to straight after dinner to not-at-all).
