working moms of 5 months olds tell me about your routine

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I am going back to work in a couple of weeks and here is what it looks like now:

Wake up betweem 6am and 7am (sometimes earlier)

Then nurse roughly every 3 hours

Last nursing session around 9-10 pm and then sleep mostly through the night - sometimes nurse around midnight.

I am planning to nurse on my lunch break and morning/evening.

 

How much do you send to daycare for bottles? It would be two feedings for me and he is not a fan of the bottle right now so I have no idea how much he will take eventually...

 

Tell me about your routine!!

    I FF my DD so this may not help so much but here is our typical schedule:

    I get up between 6-6:30 and shower.  DD gets up between 6:30 - 7am and gets a 6oz bottle. DH and I finish getting ready and get DD ready and leave the house by 7:45.  I drop her off at day care and am at work by 8:15.  I take 4 6oz bottles to daycare for DD.  (She normally only takes 3 of them so the 4th I just give her at home.)  DH usually picks up DD from daycare around 4:30 - 5pm.  I get home at 5:45.  DD takes a bottle around 6pm and then at 6:45 she usually gets a little cereal or oatmeal.  Every other night she gets a bath.  She is normally asleep no later than 8:30pm.

    wake up between 7 and 7:30, feed DD.  When I'm done feeding her, I get in the shower and DH gets her dressed.  I load up the car, etc, leave around 8, drop her at daycare, go to work for 8:30.  Pump 3x at work- 10:30, 1:30, 4, leave at 4:30ish, pick up DD.  Feed her 1oz solids when we get home, nurse her and put her to bed at 7:30.  Dreamfeed her at 10:30, go to bed myself, nurse her when she wakes up at 1:30ish and 4:30ish.  She gets a bath every other night.  She takes 3 4oz bottles at daycare.

    -Send 4 bottle to daycare, but she usually only takes 3
    -Usually falls asleep in the car to daycare and then takes another 6 oz. bottle by 10 (she's been doing this earlier and earlier, though)
    -Naps after bottle for 1-3 hours
    -Another 6 oz.
    -Naps for 1-2 hours
