Nearly 5 months
I deffo had a routine at 5 months, this is when he had a set bedtime and set feeding times x
Yes well had set nap time (3 a day) and then bed time routine started at 6.30 bath, bottle bed for 7pm
I would assume you naturally have a routine at 5 months anyway ie feeding, naps and bedtime even if you’re not actively enforcing it.
Yeah we have a routine but she just feeds and sleeps whenever she wants not certain times and only takes small naps and occasionally will do a big nap i wondered whether having more of a structured routine would help with her naps but I don't know where to start with it
My baby is just over 5 months and she sleeps from 7pm till 6-7am roughly. She has first nap after 2 hours, 30-45mins depending on when she got up, then second nap 2h at noon and last nap after 4pm for 30-45mins again. I feed on demand.
@Justyna how did you get her into the routine? Do you feed before or after naps and does she self soothe? Sorry so many questions as our routine is a bit flexible as if I go out she obviously doesn't sleep for long periods as we are moving about
Mine is 6.5 months and completely follow his pattern of feeding and sleeping. I do my outings, baby classes etc around it. If I tried to enforce the same routine every single day I would never leave the house!
If yes please comment tips of how to establish a routine
