Moms who have had their babies, what do they do all day? Do you have a daily schedule, or do you just wing it? No judgement please from or towards anyone.
@hperry845 it took a long time to get her on that schedule because of reflux and all that. It was after 6 months. Maybe after 8 even. But shes 2 in october so she sleeps like a pro now
@hperry845 she goes to bed at 9:30. She doesn't go to daycare so that's why she sleeps at those times. It will have to change eventually.
Wake up at 9:30. Have breakfast with the babe. After breakfast I block her in the living room she she can play with her toys and I put a show on. More for me than her because she doesn't watch anything. Then I clean. Do dishes and all that. Then I go hang out with her for a bit. Sometimes we go out for a walk, "color", dance. Then lunch and nap at 2. When she wakes up at 5 I feed her dinner then we either go for a walk if we haven't already or go to my moms house or just go out in the back to play with a ball. If its not nice out we just play inside.
I've fallen into somewhat of a schedule with her, just kind of happened. Some days will be totally different and I'm out all day but then usually next day is catch up on sleep and then right back to it.
I have a general schedule but keep it really flexible depending on the day if u have to run errands or work. But bedtime is fairly strict. Small bottle, play, breakfast meal, Nap, bottle, play, lunch, play, Nap, bottle, play, dinner, relax then bottle and bed at 7pm
When I just had the one I would just wing it as well. We napped when he was tired and we would go for walks during the day, and play around at home as well. We would also visit with other friends who had children and see family. Bedtime was the only consistency we had. Now that I have 3 there is definitely more structure during the days. No more nap time for my oldest two but the basics of the day are the same and it makes it easier for them to know what to expect as well.
We dont have a set schedule, but what we do is if the weather is nice we go out for a minimum of an hour walk a day/park visits, we read 3 or 4 books, I let my son do free play, I will do house work during naps, prepare all of our meals. One thing we dont do is watch tv. I found that if it was on my attention was pulled away from my son, and that he was sitting more then moving which I hated. So instead I constantly have the radio on, which I love listening to the convos
