Ricky's bedtime routine
- Diaper and PJs
- Books
- Lights off and shades all the way down
- Sleep sack zipped all the way up with as many pacifiers as possible in crib
- Hatch on (touch silver ring on Hatch until blue light dims and white noise comes on)
- Shut door all the way
** if he wakes up in the middle of the night, don't change a thing, just walk in and give him a pacifier (there's likely one on the ground or under his crib, can use phone as light source) and leave. If that doesn't work he sometimes needs a quick rocking and then to be put back in crib.
Reese's bedtime routine
- After dinner or bath: PJs (matching set, princess dress, socks, scrunchie) and downstairs to watch If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Daniel Tiger on Amazon Prime and play matching game
- Pick out 3 pictures to look at on your phone.
- "Water and beds": She takes a sip of water out of her Dixie cup and then looks at Ricky and then her room in Nanit monitor on your phone
- Reese then reads her four books that are on her side table
- Turn pink side table light off and turn Hatch on (Favorites > Pink w/tv)
- Say goodnight, leave the room, and shut the door all the way
- If she gets upset - tell her you'll be right outside the door until she falls asleep.
DO NOT sit/lay with her in bed. - If she wakes in the middle of the night, walk her back to bed and cover her up, repeat step 6
