whats ur routine

[jodie_honey]

hi just wonderin what ur routine is, abigail has been out of one for ages n its been a nightmare...however she has just sort of slotted herself into one, she gets up ay 7/8am and has breastfast then at 10 she has a bottle n a half hour nap then she has dinner at 12 and then a bottle at 2 and sleeps for 2.5 hours then she has her tea at 5 and then sleeps for half hour at 6.30, she goes to bed at 8:30 and sleeps til 7/8am.
its goin pretty well id say. she sort of got herself into it.

routine???

connor goes to bed at about 9pm.

that's the only thing that we've got! it suits us though - he rarely naps during the day and he usually gets up when we do. i've tried to instigate a more rigid structure to our day, but it just doesn't work.

 

[CoreysMummy]

My DS kind of fell into his too...

Up at 8am, bottle.
Sleep at half 9
Up at half 11
bottle at 12
Sleep at 2
Up at 4
Bottle at 4
Bottle half 7
Bed 8

That about covers us

 

[LisaJ1986]

Haha, routine??? We go to bed at 9pm. She gets up in the night, never at the same time. Awake at 6am, feed then sleep. That's it. She eats when it suits. Sleeps when it suits.

[Jade&Evie]

We don't really have routine in the day- Evie naps every now and then... but most of the day she just plays! She goes to bed around 7pm and normally wakes up about 7.30am

 

[poppy160]

Wakes up at 7:30 has milk with Daddy
Back to bed at 80 awake for 9:30
Breakfast of porridge (New since today)

Bottle at 110-11:30
Lunch between 10 and 1:30
Sleep until 3:30 - 40

Bottle and a Rice Cake/Fruit/Bread or Half a Rusk
Dinner at 60
Bath, Bottle, Story with Daddy then off to sleep listening to lullabyes for 8:30

She formed this routine herself really, it really suits us. I'm so pleased with it

Austin's a bit older and we haven't got a strict routine but it's something like:

Some time between 6.30 & 8am - wake up, beaker of milk & bowl of dry cereal (usually cheerios!) in front of CBeebies/milkshake (I know I'm a terrible mother )

Rest of morning - run around like a mad thing, lots of playing, quiet time for a while with mummy (usually read a book/drawing). Sometimes toast to eat mid morning if we get hungry.

Lunch - sometime between 12 & 1.30 depending on how hungry & tired he is. Usually a sandwich or beans on toast, sometimes pasta.

Afternoon - usually out somewhere, even just a walk to the shops. Often round to Auntie Jess's house or down the park. Fruit snack mid afternoon, and occasionally milk if he asks for it. He will usually sleep for 1-2 hours during the afternoon.

Dinner at about 6pm - whatever we have.

Bedtime - in the bath for 8pm. Then teeth, story & milk, then to bed (by 9pm). Straight to sleep ready for another big day.

 

[daftscotslass]

Up at 6am for a feed. Back to sleep till 8.30/9ish.

Feed between 9 and 10.

Feed between 12 and 1.

Feed between 3 and 4

Sometimes a snacky feed at 6pm

Last feed at 7-7.30 and down for the night.

Now she's started waking when we go to bed at about half 10 all smiles and giggles but goes back to sleep when the light goes out .

Fill in the gaps in the day with outings, playing, occasional naps (not usually more than an hour) stories etc.

Have I got the only baby who doesn't sleep through the night?

 

[LisaJ1986]

Have I got the only baby who doesn't sleep through the night?

At the moment we get up 2 or 3 times. Used to just be 5am!

 

[keli]

Cooper goes to sleep around 9, he wakes 1.30, 330, 5am for feeds, wakes around 9. Then feeds and naps when he wants throughout the day. xx

psssf

7pm: boob and bed
12am: boob
4am: boob

Well if thats sleeping through the night...

 

[Sophie1102]

We don't have a timed routine, just that he goes to bed no later than 8pm wakes at between 7-8am for first feed of the day, then play and nap, feed 4 hours later, play nap, feed 4 hours later, play and nap, feed 4 hours later,

So he has 4 8oz feeds a day and sleeps 12 hours through the night and between 1&2 hour naps during the day

 

[Sage]

I have a sort of routine but it changes depending on kys mood and what he wants to do.

Wake up usually at 6am (although today it was 5.15! ) bottle straight away

Breakfast 8.30ish then a nap some time around 9ish usually for a couple hours. if hes tired later in the morning then he might have another bottle to help him go off.

Lunch anywhere between 12 and half 1 he'll tell me when hes hungry. He'll have a nap some time in between normally for another 2 hours.

Tea between 4 and 5

Bath between 7 and half past. then a bottle and bed. hes always crashed by 8pm.

he normally wakes up a couple times in the night coz his dummy has fallen out but goes straight back off when i put it back in and usually has a bottle around 3am.

The rest of the day is filled with tantrums, pooping, shouting, screaming da da da, trying to grab the cat, going to the shops or a walk, the usual baby stuff!

 

[Charlie:-)]

Have I got the only baby who doesn't sleep through the night?

Nope im with you Rebecca, Maia is no where near sleeping through.

She used to be up at 3am then 6/7am, but this week shes started waking at 3am then 5am and 7am.

 

[Suzie and Faith]

If you'd have asked me yesterday if Fi had a routine i'd have said NO but actually it seems she does! She was out a little later tonight and so didn't have her bath at half 8 like usual and she started screaming until i got her home and into the bath! So it goes like this:

Get up about 9-10am depending on mummy and what the plans for the day are
Feed and dress
11am nap for 30 min (mummy jumps in the shower)
feeds and play
3pm nap
feeds and play
6am hour nap
8pm nappy-off and naked time
then bath
milk
story and bed for 9pm

she has been known to sleep from 9pm-6:30am... but sometimes she will wake at about 2am and 5 am.
Then at 6-7am ish she will have a feed and sleep with mummy for a couple of hours...
