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
Re: Share your schedule, please
Up around 8am, bottle, fruit and cereal. Awake for about 1.5 hours, another bottle, nap for 2 hours. Bottle, fruit or veggie, and awake for 2-3 hours, bottle and down for afternoon nap 2-3 hours, awake for a big stretch, but usually sneaks a cat nap in, bottle, veggie/cereal, bath/bed routine and in bed by 9pm.
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.
Charlie's "schedules" are constantly evolving, but here's how his days currently look:
5AM - BF, back to sleep for a bit
6:30-7 - wake up; BF; play
8:30 - 1st nap (anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours)
10:00 - BF; play
12:00 - 2nd nap (anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours)
1:00 - BF; play
3:00 - 3rd nap (anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours)
4:00 - BF; play
6:15 - naked time (air out diaper area), bath, massage, PJs
6:45 - BF; bedtime
