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