I’ve never really been big into routines I’ve always been a go-with-the-flow person but since having Apollo, I am loving having a little nighttime and bath routine. It’s a perfect way to settle down and get ready for bed.
I will usually feed him around six and wait about an hour or so before bath time. We get a little playtime in, some cuddles, and then I grab everything and get ready for his bath.
For bath time, we have this little recliner seat that he loves. Apollo is up obsessed with baths. (We got real lucky there!) It’s really my favorite time of day because he is so happy, smiley and giggly, and his new favorite thing is to kick like crazy. He kicks so hard sometimes that it pushes the whole little bath chair all the way to the back of the tub!
We are using the SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Baby Wash & Shampoo. It’s really easy on his little baby skin and with the winter months coming up, he’s already a little prone to having dry skin. I love that it has coconut oil in it because it will help keep his skin extra moisturized and soft. We picked up our SheaMoisture products at Walmart which was really simple because all of their baby products are in one spot. So it makes it really quick to grab!
After bath time, I dry him off and we just make silly faces at each other while I put the SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Baby Lotion on him. I found that this holds moisture in his skin really well. Like I said before, he is really prone to having dryer skin, especially on his little legs, and since using this, we haven’t had that problem! A lot of times, we’ll set him up in the mirror because he loves looking at himself now (because he’s too darn cute). Around this time, he is such a happy and smiley baby.
After that, we start to settle down and usually sit with him after we get our jammies on. We read a few books during this time, too, because he’s now getting to the age where he just wants to touch and feel everything. If your baby is around three months old, I would suggest getting some of the books that have a little texture on them because right now, those are his favorites!
After we read, he’s usually getting pretty tired at this point so I’ll swaddle him up and rock him to sleep!
