The Four B's... Our Saving Grace!

Last week Pat and I started a bedtime routine with Quinn and it has been glorious! We were really struggling to get Quinn to sleep before about 12:30am. I found myself dreading each evening because I wouldn't know how long it would take Quinn to fall asleep and once he was sleeping, I wouldn't know how long it would last. People kept recommending routine, routine, routine. I finally took the advice and ran with it! It has been great for all three of us. Now at 9:00pm (roughly) we start with a bath for Quinn (which he LOVES), then give him a bottle, read him books, and put him to bed with music. By 9:30 (or 10:00) our precious little boy is fast asleep and we have a little time to ourselves again. Although, the first night we simply sat downstairs in silence with the baby monitor and just listened (and ran upstairs every 10 minutes to check on him). Now we're getting a little better, but that monitor is still close!


Sweet dreams baby Quinn!
