Routine
Hi!
I’m looking for a bit of advice, this is totally me future proofing as I like to be prepared😂
My little girl is 7 weeks old, at the minute we very much sleep when needed and where needed, we feed on demand, so on and so forth. But with time flying, I’m very aware that soon we will need to introduce routine ( I know she is still too little for one at the minute).
As a first time mum, I’m clueless.
How do you establish times to eat and times to sleep, times to play when it’s been so all over the place?
How did you get in to a routine and when?
How do those routines fit in to life, such as leaving the house, socialising, shopping?
I know this may seems really stupid, but I’m my head i just can’t work it out😂😂

We started with a preferred wake up time at 3.5 months. We then fell into a bit of a pattern based on her wake windows and nap lengths. Feeds were done when showing hunger signs and naps when tired. Bedtime moved from 10pm to 8pm then naturally she wanted earlier. I'd schedule anything round her naps to start and bottle feed out if needed. I personally needed a sort of structure to the day but it still worked on what she needed and when. You'll need to adjust it with time based on longer wake time etc so I think it's still important to follow their cues. Good luck!
Tbh my baby is just falling into her own little routine, I haven't done anything to encourage it x
