How do you wind down a very playful and active baby before bedtime? I've tried massages, but she doesn't like being on her back so she ends up crawling all over the bed. I've tried books as well, but she sees them as toys. Help!

I have a fixed routine for my son. What I do is, before his bedtime, he bath & changes to his PJs before his sister reads a storybook for him. By then, he would be in his bouncer and I would start rocking him. Once he starts fussing, I would pick up him and carry him in my room where it's dark and put him down on his sides with his pacifier in his mouth. I'd sing nursery songs and pat him bum bum and it takes only about 5 minutes for him to sleep.
