Routine

Hey mums So looking for some advice on getting started with a routine LO is 3 months now and kind of unintentionally fallen into a routine that looks a bit like this 0930- wake up & BF 1030- bottle 5oz 1130 - nap for 45m 1300 - bottle 6oz 1500 - nap anywhere between 45m-3hr 1700 - bottle 6oz 1930 - nap 30m 2000 - bath (if doing it that night) 2030 - bottle 5oz 2130 - up to bed last BF & cuddle 2230 - asleep 0700 - wake & BF 0800 - nap for an hour and a half My HV said just need to keep sticking to it and persist but my question is this, how do you do anything out with the house with your day. For example I went out yesterday 11-12 and obviously because she didn’t get that first nap properly she was inconsolable and overtired and wouldn’t go down until the 1930 catnap 🤯 how long does it take to get that routine in place and do u just have to sacrifice going out? Or is it better to just play it day by day and see what happens when? Also the wake windows are 2hr 2.5hr 1.5hr 2.5hr Does that seem ok? I can’t seem to bring them any shorter

How does your little one sleep through the night? So jealous 🥴 when did she start sleeping through?

Can I ask how you manage to do a breastfeed just in the morning and evening? I currently exclusively breastfed but I desperately want to introduce some bottles to give myself some time for myself! She won’t take the bottle at the moment though 😫

I think these types of things just depend on the baby unfortunately I can’t give u much tips 😕 baby goes to sleep at night in the love to dream arms up swaddle bag and has done since birth, slept through the night since maybe 5 weeks old (my MIL said my husband was the same as a baby so maybe it’s genetic?) not good at napping in the day though as u can see. As for the bottles I introduced bottles at week 3 with the intention of moving to formula and she accepted first time and goes between breast & bottle no problem again I think I’m just lucky with that as she takes any teat. Sorry I can’t give yous any more tips as not sure how I did it myself 🤣🙈

@Ellie Mc what I will say though is she always took loads of air in with using MAM & Tommy tippee but the lansinoh teats are really good and they even feel totally different like a lot more softer and silkier so maybe give them ones a go - maybe they’re more like a boob in texture for them I don’t know
