Routine

I began at about 4 months, following the wake times etc and everyday now he’s asleep by 7:30pm and wakes up for feeds twice and wakes up between 7:00 and 8:00am, it really just depends on the child 🩵 xxx
My baby put herself into a bit of a routine by waking up/going down at similar ish times and taking bottles around the same times (ish again lol) every baby is so different, do what works for you!
My lo has kinda made his own routine, I measure nap times and feeding from his last, usually about 3-2 hours wake and play period then Nappy, bottle, nap/bed.. sometimes he'll have a little top up and keep playing for a bit, the only thing I'm always on time for is bed time, 7.00pm is bath every other day then bottle, bed.. the other day we go up at about 8pm sometimes 7.45pm Otherwise I dont measure it by the times of day and more with wake period times xx
Guess we kinda have a routine she’ll play, nap, have a bottle then repeat for the duration of the day 🙈. She is not a great night sleeper and wakes up through the night. Thought it was a regression but started the start of March and continuing… 🫠. But sounds like she’ll find her way and see what like soon 🥰. Thanks guys! Doesn’t help she now has a bad stinking cold so always feels like we are back to square one when I think we are getting somewhere 🙈 xx
Same here. I figure there’s plenty of time in life for strict routines. So long as everyone’s happy I don’t plan on changing things any time soon.
Same here! Baby has a rough routine in himself but we just go with the flow and follow his needs. Don't get too bogged down in routines etc I find so many parents get so focused on routine they aren't making the most of the time and lose their sanity a little no stage lasts forever and babies tend to figure it out😂
All on demand over here 🙋🏻♀️ we have a couple of days where she kinda puts herself into a routine but today she slept in later so it’s different times compared to the last couple of days. We are currently contact napping in the living room and then she’ll wake up and bottle and bed at 11! X
That is a routine in my eyes! When they need it, right? To me, it’s enough routine knowing his wake windows are roughly 90 mins, as is when he likes to be fed. It wouldn’t benefit me or him for him to be on a strict schedule, so I’m not striving towards that 🩷
My LO put himself in a routine. Wakes at 7am, naps every 1.5-2 hours for 30 mins. Feeds 5x a day every 3 hours and bed between 7-8pm
We do the same! Our little one is 4.5 months, we log his naps etc on huckleberry and pay attention to the sweet spot but only to try and pre-empt when he might need a nap. We still feed on demand and bedtime is variable and very much depends on what time he wakes up!
