What is the nightly routine for your 2 kids? What works in your house?

Hi IMs. I am interested to know the nightly routine you have going in your household. I have 2 little ones (4 mths and 3yo). I like my kids to be in a routine, but I find since having 2 in the mix, the dinner, bath, bottle, bed thing is much harder. I feel like husband and I spend from 5.30 - 8.00pm running around like crazy people trying to keep the wheels turning to make sure kids are put to sleep on time.

If you have children in a similar age bracket to mine - I would love to know what time they are bathed/fed/you cook dinner/adults eat/kids put to sleep. This is not a huge issue I know, but I would really love the feedback to see if I can manage a little better at this time of day. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have to boys (4years old and 10mnths). I'm a single/ working mum so afternoons are always hectic.

Kids wake at 5:30-6am. My youngest is breastfed so he has a boobie feed at 6ish, then breaky for the boys at 6:45-7am. My youngest goes for a morning nap at 8:39-9 to 10-10:30, mornibg teat at 10:30, lunch at 12, then youngest goes for another nap at 1:30-3. I start dinner at around 4(before youngest gets sooky and the bath time mad rush starts) bath time at 5:30, dinner at 6pm then play/TV time until bed time at 8pm. My big boy sleeps through but my youngest is still up every two hours feeding. Sorry if doesn't make sense lol
