: : How do I get my four month old baby to go to bed earlier. He won't go down for the night before midnight or sometimes half hour before?? I try putting him down to sleep earlier but he wakes up like he does during the day-- after about 1-2hrs. I read about some babies going to bed for the night as early as 7pm and I have to wonder how they do it. : Try putting him down an extra fifteen or ten minutes early for awhile or so and then gradually make it 20 ,30,Do you know what I mean? that's what I did and it seems to take forever but you'll get there.I bath my baby everynight and I have yet to run into dry skin.all depends on your water,I guess.I wish I had more to tell you,but that's all I had.LOL!! Try to establish a bedtime routine. Our 5 month old son use to go to bed at all different times. Finally we decided we would give him a bath everynight and read him 2 bedtime stories and then feed him if he's hungry. He sleeps anywhere between 8 to 11 hours at a time before eating again. He does have some dry skin patches on his body but I think that's because of the dry air in the winter. We don't always use soap in his bath. Good Luck!

: : Also, do you guys bathe your baby every night. I would like to do this as part as his night time "wind down" but I wonder if it doesn't dry the skin
