*~*~ What is your evening like? ~*~*
Re: My evening routine:
I feed on demand when at home. Our usual routine:
I get home from work around 5:30 and cook dinner and get things ready for the next day. DS is ready for bed anywhere between 7:30 and 8. At this time, I get him in the bath and give him a massage with lotion before putting on his jammies. I nurse him and he goes to sleep usually around 8:30-9. I usually take DS lead and when he is tired and fussy, bedtime is a breeze. I get in bed AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! He wakes to eat at 1:30 and anytime between 3-4. We wake up at 5:30 to start the day again!
I also formula feed.
7:15 We go for a half hour walk outside, I have noticed that watching the trees/nature helps calm her.
8:00 She gets a 4oz bottle.
8:30 She takes a bath with me.
9:00 We put her in her crib with a stuffed dog that plays soft music for 10 mins. I stay with her rubbing her belly until she is asleep. She normally out in 5 mins.
Then I go start dinner for the rest of the family. And we are in bed by 11pm.
3:00am She wakes up for a 4oz bottle and goes back to sleep.
8:00am She is up and drinks a 5oz bottle and then we start our day.
