Share your schedule, please

I know babies are different but I can't remember this stage with dd1 at all. Can you share roughly what your lo is doing for eating (I'm EBFing, no solids yet), sleeping and awake times?
"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

And staight back to sleep he goes.

  • DD has a pretty good schedule going...She takes 6oz at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm (still no solids). Stays awake for 2-2.5 hours after each feeding and then naps. She is taking 2 longish naps and the last one is only about 30-45 minutes. She's usually out like a light by 8:15pm.

  • The only 'schedule' DD keeps is when she first wakes up.  She doesnt wake up at the same time every day, it's anywhere between 7 and 8 but she's down for a nap within an hour.  She eats right when she gets up from sleeping every time, then it's diaper change and play time.  In the morning if it's not hot yet, we go for a walk before naptime#2 after I get a shower. Anything after that is wide open.  Some days she'll sleep every other hour, some days it's every 3 hours!

  • It seems like everytime I try to get Auds into a schedule, she goes crazy for a few days and throws everything off again.  But, here's the schedule we're trying to stick to:

    Wake at 6:30 or 7, BF.  Play for about an hour and a half, nap around 8:30.  She'll sleep anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours.  Eat, play, nap again around 12:30.  Again, sleep anywhere from 45 mins to 2 hours.  Eat, play, and nap again (if her earlier naps have been shorter, she'll take a long one at this point.  If she's already had 2 long ones, this one will be maybe 30 minutes).

    During the days when I'm home, I'll BF her so I'm not sure exactly how much she eats.  But at daycare she eats 16-17 ounces of pumped breastmilk between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.  I cluster feed her between 5:30 and 7:30 pm, and she gets either veggies or fruit in that time too.

    Bath, jammies, nurse, and asleep by 8:00 every night.  She doesn't STTN and never has.  She still wakes 2-3 times a night to eat, no matter how much we try to fill her up before she goes to sleep.  But at least she seems to be getting in a routine with her nighttime wakeups as well.
