What’s your bedtime routine under 6 months?
Im a first time mum trying to understand bedtime routines. My baby is 9 weeks now so want to start the foundation for good sleep habits. Currently, she sleeps in her cot next to us, so we let her contact nap in the evening while we watch TV, feed, and then put her to bed when we go to bed around 10.
My understanding has been that before 6 months you should be in the room when your baby is sleeping, so I don’t understand how that works if we want to start giving her a proper bedtime routine that starts around 7pm…is one of us supposed to be in our bedroom with her at that time?
Anyway, I’d really appreciate hearing about your bedtime routines and any tips to make them work!
