Bedtime Routine

The pediatrician said we should put Baby to bed in his crib when he is awake (not already sleeping or sleepy) so he learns how to self-soothe and fall asleep on his own. We decided to put Baby down at 9 pm each night and then focus again on sleeping through the night. There's been a lot more fussing and Baby is back to waking up twice a night, now at 1 am and 5 am. I think we will start changing him into jammies and reading bedtime stories so we can establish a routine. Any other suggestions?

We do bath time right before bedtime b/c that is pretty calming for our guy.

Hang in there - it gets easier!
