Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Poll: What does your 24 hour day look like w/ DC 4/5 months old?

Just curious what everyones day to day routine is like at this age.  DC has finally settled into a routine and we are loving life. :)

I will start will bed time

7:00pm eat, massage, swaddle, story: lay him in the crib awake and goes right to sleep with no crying or paci (taken lots of work to get this finally)

4-5am wakes up somewhere between these times and eats, diaper change burps and back down to sleep right away

7-8 am starts the day somewhere in between these times eats, and we play

He follows this routine for the rest of the day eat, play until he has been up about  1 1/2 hours and naps for about an hour.  Sometimes he eats, plays, sleeps, plays and eats because his naps don't last long. He naps about 45 minutes to an hour.

  • bedtime routine: bring her upstairs at 7:30. bath, jammies, books, nurse, then down to sleep by 8:30-9.

    5-6 am feeding. right back to sleep.

    8-9 am feeding. get dressed. bouncy seat while i shower.

    then i hand her off to dh for the day and i go to work. but she generally takes two big naps one in the early afternoon and one around 3-4pm. and eats every 2-3 hours.

  • Between 5-6am he wakes up to eat and goes straight back to bed.

    I usually wake him about 8-8:30 to leave and take him to my grandmothers.

    There he eats 3 times, plays, and takes 2 naps

    I usually pick him up at 5:00, we get home and he eats at 6:00 then plays for a couple of hours and goes to bed for the night around 8:00 with another bottle.

  • Emma gets up between 7:30 and 8 am. She is up for 1 1/2 hours and then naps for 45 min-1 hour. The rest of the day she is awake for 2 hours between naps and naps 45 min- 1 hour. She usually ends up taking 3-4 naps because her naps are so short. She eats every 3-4 hours. We start her bedtime process at 7:30 and is in the bed at eight. She usually goes in the crib  wide awake and sucks her fingers and falls asleep. I do a dream feed with her at 11:30 or 12 and she sleeps through the night.
  • 6:30a: Wakes, DH dresses her for the day

    6:30-7:30/8ish: Playtime with DH until he needs to leave for work, at which time he brings her to me. I get up and play with her until 8:30

    8:30: start nap routine

    9-10: Nap #1

    10-12:30: Playtime, short-distance errands if needed, start nap routine at 12:30

    1-3: Nap #2

    3-5:45: Playtime, long-distance errands if needed, start bedtime routine at 5:45

    6:30p: Asleep (but wakes at 11ish and 3:30am)

  • Ishep - PLEASE tell me how you got him to go down without the paci.  I have a total Paci Addict and it is a  real nightmare! help!
