nordicfairy: sleepy-babygirlxox: daddyiwantthis: Bed time routine idea: 1. Announce to your little that it’s time to get ready for bed. If back talk follows, explain why it’s important to get lots of sleep and if necessary, discipline accordingly. 2. Lead your little by the hand to the bathroom sink. Put toothpaste on their toothbrush, sit them on the sink, and brush their teeth for them / show them how to brush properly. Cuddle and handholding is encouraged. If your little is wearing makeup help them take it off and/or brush their hair. 3. Lead your little by the hand to the bedroom. Have them sit nicely on the floor/bed and hand them their stuffies/pacifier/blankie to keep them busy as you pick out their jammies. 4. Undress your little and put them into a fresh dip (if they wear). When they try to undress themselves be loving but stern as you tell them to let to be a good boy/girl and let Daddy/Mommy help them. 5. Caress and hug your little and praise them for being so good while getting changed. Gently lay them down on the bed and tuck them in- double check to make sure the whole stuffie gang is there. 6. Find a bedtime story online or buy a book in person (great little date idea here, hint hint.) Read it to them while asking them questions about the book (what’s your favorite thing about this picture? etc). Give them a bottle (if they like that sort of thing). 7. After the book is finished. Turn out the lights and help your little relax. I personally love when Daddy insists that I turn onto my tummy, then he turns on an app that plays white noise (it really helps me sleep). Lastly he counts sheep and rubs my back. Sometimes I get fussy and he gently shushes me to sleep. Such a cute idea/ routine This is everything -- source link
