Bedtime Routine

We have been to the doctor a few times in the last month trying to get Tyler's reflux under control. The last time I went to the doctor we decided to increase his medication and it has helped a ton! He also wanted us to start putting Tyler to bed in his crib and start a bedtime routine. At first I was really nervous but it has been great! He recommended we lower one side of the crib just a little so that he is on an incline when he sleeps. This allows him to sleep in his crib but also helps with the reflux. We began this bedtime routine at the end of Tyler's 6th week and so far he has slept for 6-7 hours in a row many times. 
(I'm 7 weeks old.)
First we take a bath. 

Then we do a little "swimming". He loves to just float in the water. Mommy holds his head and he kicks his legs around. 
I promise he loves it...you might not get that impression from this face though :).
All clean and smelling so good!
After we take a bath we get our pj's on and mommy feeds me. Then I get all swaddled up and put in my bed.
Night night mommy! See you around 4am.
