bedtime techniques
So this is my first dad related post on here and feel a bit new to this lol. I'm the father of a beautiful 10 month old girl, I'm also a first time dad. Well the wife and I have been struggling with her to set up a routine and to have her go to bed at a decent hour...(means extra time for me on destiny too lol, don't tell the wife :/). Well I was curious on what the other dads have done, what worked well and what didn't? I know fatherhood is kinda like a trial and error type thing but having the occasional cheese isn't always a bad thing :).

All I can say is trial and error. I have 2 boys and things not to do I have found are: Don't give them a crutch to lean on, such as sleeping in same bed, picking them up to much or talking to them. A little cry here and there does hurt. We found just setting a good routine early, reading to them before bed, alternating who puts them down so they don't get bothered by one of you not being their(plus you both made her so she has to know that your both her parents), a pre bed snack doesn't go astray (even we feel tied on a full stomach). I am sure plenty of dads can help shed some light but it all comes down to what works for you in the end, and don't be afraid to mix it up as long as the main routine is used as a foundation. Stick to your guns show them who's boss from the start and you'll be fine.
