I never really mind when night time rolls around and I have to settle my kids into their bedtime routine. In fact, it’s more like my routine now, as I’ve been doing it for over 2 years now. Not a day goes by that my toddler reminds me that it’s time for her “bubble bath!!!!” at around 7:30pm. (I suppose that I should not complain as I’ve heard that some kids don’t like taking a bath and it can be the biggest hassle for the parents)
I usually give Emmy her bath first, as she gets the baby bath tub and it only takes me about 10 minutes from start to finish. I make sure to add Skinfix Diaper Rash Balm to her before I put on her diaper to keep her bottom free from redness and irritation and then put some Skinfix Gentle Eczema Balm to her head, which has helped her dry, flaky scalp.
Charli is next to get her bath, which is a true bubble bath that she loves! Complete with no fewer than 20 rubber duckies and various play toys, she never tires of a good scrub-a-dub.
Again, Charli gets the Skinfix Diaper Rash Balm (its super important to me that these products are fragrance free, paraben free and made with natural ingredients. Plus you can buy them at Target!) and then she gets into her night time diaper. (We’re working on potty training, so hopefully we will be transitioning out of these SOON! Fingers crossed)
Emmy gets into her Sleepsack and I nurse her one last time around 9:00pm. Then she goes into her DockATot and sleeps through the night (Woo hoo!)
Charli gets into her pajamas and we try to read her a few books before she goes to bed. Lately she’s been staying up later, to about 9:00pm. Not sure how these kids can stay up 15 hours in a day!
We turn on the Cloud b Turtle and the sandman takes her away!
Luckily, both of our kids sleep through the night and we rarely hear even a peep from them. We keep their routine and it works for us and for them both. I feel like I need to be there for them every night because I want to make sure that they get to bed properly and see that mommy and daddy are the last faces they see and kiss them goodnight. I wouldn’t trade my bedtime routine or the products that we have been using for anything. We have a good thing going and it keeps my kids happy and sleeping all night!
Do you have any bedtime routines that you have worked wonders for your family? Do you have any baby products that you use that you really like to help your baby with their dry skin or diaper rash?

Those pics are the cutest. I totally live by a bedtime routine. My little guy needs a schedule for sure.
Thanks, Jenn. My toddler is the hardest one to put to bed right now, surprisingly. I wish she would go to bed earlier…lol
Oooh! I would love to try a new eczema cream! My son gets it so bad in the winter time! Great recommendation
Great, I hope it works for him!
Great photos, and nice to see a natural approach to childrens skincare.
Thank you…I agree. It’s very important to me that I use good products on my children
I love SkinFix products! They have a hand cream that works wonders. I never knew they had a kids line.
Our bedtimes have been creeping up too! I don’t like it. lol.
How do you like working with Linqia? I just had my first campaign with them.
Nice, I’d like to check out their hand lotion!
This is my first Linqua campaign…I’ll let you know how I like it. Tell me how yours goes as well!
adorable!
thank you, Leslie!
What a nice routine. I liked reading with the kids before bed too! I love the pictures!
