anyone following babywise routine with their babies or any other sleep routine?

Re: Baby wise

  • The only sort of routine we have come up with is at night I feed him around 745-8-30 then once he settled down after the feeding I give him a 15 min bath to relax. This is finished by 915 usually. I then BF again until he just about falls asleep. Have been doing this for about 5 days in a row. He has been sleeping Great. 9 hours straight one night. I also have a white noise app on my phone that I let play through the night. He is 7 1/2 weeks

  • We "sorta" follow Babywise and have been since 2.5wks. DD2 is now 4.5wks and has been sleeping 6-8hr for about 5days in a row now! We usually start our day somewhere btwn 630-730 am and feed-wake-sleep every 2.5-3hrs during the day. She doesn't nap very good tho. She does a lot of little cat naps but she still only eats every 2.5-3hrs. Bedtime routine (bath, lotion, noise maker, low lights) starts around 830 or 9 put her down drowsy but awake and she sleeps until 4-5am, change diaper, nurse and back to bed (usually takes 20-30min total) then she sleeps til the morning routine begins again.
  • We are trying to do this! It's not as easy as they made it sound in the book though! Our day usually starts around 630am. She eats every 3-3.5 hours and tends to not sleep much. We might get 4 30 minute naps total during the day. So she usually skips a few naps in the feed wake sleep Cycles. We are trying to get her to eat more to hopefully try to extend the cycle a bit so her eating matches her sleeping cycle. Then around 7pm we start bedtime routine with a bottle, then a bath, the depending on her mood we may read a little bit, but if she's already too tired we swaddle and rock and put her down drowsy. She's usually asleep by 8-830. She wakes sometime between 2am and 5am for a bottle, and then the cycle starts again at 630am.

    This is a very similar routine we have. I don't follow Babywise, but LO (8 weeks) has kind of set this routine up herself and I just went with it. She's been sleeping through the night for the past week and a half. Roughly 10pm to 7am.
    I have a white noise machine, and I really think it has a lot to do with her sleeping the whole night.

  • Search baby wise in the search function and you will find a thread that was started a couple weeks ago about this. We follow it very closely and it is wonderful!
  • The only schedule I follow is bath between 8-9 and bed at 9:30. DS is on the same schedule.
