DD is on a loose schedule we started during the week. She is at our hour with MIL during the week. She eats a 3.5 oz bottle around 9, 12 &3. She plays for a while then falls asleep. Normally, she has 1 longer nap (2+ hours) and a shorter nap. However, weekends don't work out that way between errands, visitors, etc. She was really fussy by 6 last night, but she had only taken 3-4 small naps. I told DH that maybe we should stick to one "off" day if possible then do our best to keep her on schedule the other day? Anyone else have any advice?? Thanks. :-)
Re: weekend schedule
At this point we are doing what we have to do, unless DD is beyond fussy and just can't calm down. She does have a loose schedule during the week, but she's adapted well to our busy weekends. IMHO at this age they are too young to need a STRICT schedule. Yes, eat every 3ish hours, and yes, nap here and there, but to the hour doesn't seem to matter since it can vary from day to day.
