i need routine

[neeko_1]

hey ya girles.. ya it feels so good to be back and just ask a question without having to wait to go to mums.

anyway............

renee is 15 weeks old and we both need routine, i feel that sometimes she taking the mick, she is such a good baby... but when it comes to going bed she's a no no. just to night she was tried from 9.00 but went down at 12 , she was so tried but would not go down.

i gave her boob and she was just messing around on it and smiling with me it's so hard not to smile back because her smile just lights me up, but she needs to know it's bed time, i say to her no it's bed time but she carries on.

oh and when i'm trying to put her to bed she wants to fight the triedness, WHY do babies do that??

anyway so i need help. i thought we are going to start a routine on monday.. as it's fresh new week, but how do i start doing that?? i want to start before it gets to late and it gets harder

so any tips ladies??

Be hard hunni, i know its horrible. Is she in a cot or moses basket though? cos I just transferred my daughter into a cot and she is settling a lot better, its change is unbelieveable!

nope, she sleeps in the bed with us..

but we want to get her in her own cot asap.

Maybe a cot would be a good idea neeko, plus im sure you want your bed back!
I have just put imogen in her cot and she has bright bedding a mobile etc and shes slept well the last two nights.
Ive just been giving her a bath, bottl then bed same time every night and all seems to be working.

i started melissa with a bedtime routine when she was about 13/14 weeks because she had become so grumpy in the evenings screaming her head off.

i gave her a bath, put a sleepsuit on her, fed her and put her down in the travel cot, all with dim lights and no noise. i smiled and made eye contact with her in the bath but when it comes to the feed and actual putting her down i try not to, so she dont get over-stimulated.

the first nite i really didnt expect it 2 work at all, was so surprised when it did! i dont kno whether i was just lucky tho...

if u wanna read my lil diary i did here it is
clicky

good luck hun hope it works xxx
