When did all you ladies start a routine with your little ones? I'm trying so hard but he's going through a growth spurt and is taking 4oz every 2 hours so the routine isn't working, is it too early?! He's 3 weeks on Wednesday! He normally wakes between 5-7am and sleeps for 2 hours at 12-2/2.30pm and that's him until 7-8pm after a bath and massage, up again at 11-12 for his last feed and occasionally, not always, he'll wake up at 3-4am for a feed and nappy change then he'll sleep again until 5-7 am! But I've found he's over tired as he goes 5-6 hours during the day fighting his sleep, am I best just to let him do as he pleases just now then introduce a routine at a later date?

I can imagine how u feel, I'm in a flat so only next door when he sleeps but dreading when he has to go in his own room at night don't think I'll ever be ready haha😩😩 don't feel bad about it we all need to start somewhere!! just keep doing what ur doing and the routine will come it just takes a bit of time hun xxx
@emmaclark, yeah, in the morning I'm so squeaky and playful, I'm the same during the day, but at night it's all quite and all the lights are out! He gets his last bottle in the dark getting his leg tickled and he falls asleep! I've also just put him to sleep in his crib upstairs while I stay down stairs with the monitor and I hate it! He's never slept alone😩 I feel bloody terrible, but he hasn't been sleeping in his crib so I'm having to get him used to it! Xx
I just let Lewis work out for himself, the only thing I established from the beginning was day and night. first thing in the morning I will always say good morning to him in the cheeriest voice possible lol and we play during the day etc, and at night I talk quietly and keep lights low. I give him his bottle before bed in the dark with just a night light in our bedroom and 9/10 times he'll go straight to sleep. he used to wake at 4am for a bottle then down till 8 but now he will sleep from around 10 till 8-9. every other night we give him a bath too! during the day he will take a few short naps in between bottles so I run around mad trying to shower and clean the house hahaha! xx
I'm just going to let Scarlett take the lead, it seems to be working at the minute x
My wee girl put herself into a routine too @sophgreenx she used to go 3 hourly during the day and take 4oz. She goes longer now she's on solids but still only takes about 4oz. Every baby is different
Let him do as he wants and his routine will sort itself, Seth used to sleep all the time and now he sleeps through the night and take 2 naps in the day the longest lasting 2 hours, obviously every baby is different but I didn't put Seth into one he did it himself x
@mrsripper, I suppose they are! Well were at 3 hours since his last feed!!!!! That's a record for today!! 😂x
I wish my Lil man would take more and go longer but nope he is happy with his 4 throughout the day lol @beccastirlingx I suppose bubbas are ruling the roost for now x
@mrsripper, he's making himself sick because he's so greedy! I've tried the dummy thing but he just spits it out! X
It's a bit early hun I have started introducing bath every night after his 7-9 pm feed and then he will sleep for 6 hours other than that my Lil man is still feeding 4oz every 4 hours if he winges before for his feed I give him a dummy to carry him till the 4 th hour and then offer him 5 oz but he only is taking 5 oz at his 3-4 am feed x @beccastirlingx in regards to timings I would just try and stretch his feeds where you can 4oz every 2 hours is a lot xx
@jod1303, okay, thank you Hun! @winterbaby95 Awww that's so good!!! Xx
Like right now..she knows she is about to have a bath :) xx She starts rubbing her eyes around 7pm
id introduce it later. every baby is different some will get themself into a routine. im sure experts say 12 weeks xx
His growth spurt has knocked everything off and he's so crabbit come bath time because he keeps fighting sleep! Not going to give up though! Xx
I started doing one with Maya between 2-3 weeks :) Once I had come out the hospital and settled down xx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Waking to feed?
My dd is a week old and I was told by her doctor to wake her every 2 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night to feed her. For the first 3 days I did that and when I would wake her fit a night feeding she was fussy and usually wouldn't go back to sleep and would want to nurse constantly until about 9 am. I tried not waking her last night and she slept beautifully! She woke up around 6 hours in and ate then slept another hour or so and ate again. Is it ok to let her sleep?
Is it normal for an 18 month old sleeping patterns to drastically change. He goes to bed around 1030, he used to wake up around 6 or 7 am now he sleeps until around 12.. . Is he going thru a growth spurt? Should I wake him or let him sleep thru it??
Hey! So before I freak out and call his pediatrician, I'm going to take this to you guys first bc I know I'm overreacting.
So Brian isn't sleeping well, and he's super fussy. He's been up every hour since last night, and when he is in his bed he fusses and doesn't sleep well before waking up crying. He will drink half his normal bottle, then fall asleep in my arms. Then as soon as I put him in his bed he can't get comfortable and sleep again. Until last night he was sleeping 3-5 hours at a tim...
I would say 3 weeks is early. Try 3/4 months
