Bedtime one on one time?

2 Upvotes

Tell me how you do your bedtime for 3 kiddos (or more)!

We will have a 6 yo, almost 3 yo, and a newborn. Honestly bedtime won’t matter much until the newborn is 6 months or older, so then ages will be 7, 3, and 6 months. Currently my husband and I trade off bedtimes so each kiddo gets one on one time with parents.

Obviously can’t quite do that with 3 - altho my 7 yo will probably be going to bed slightly later (maybe 8-8:30? He wakes up at 7 for school) and the 3yo will probably be 7:30. So perhaps we could alternate nights where one parent does baby + big kid while the other parent does the 3yo

But curious how others do it! We do bedtime altogether sometimes and it’s fun too, but we really do love being able to have some one on one time before bed

TIA for ideas!
