Routine

I feel awful. I see here so many mums including new mums with a set routine but I don’t have any and I worry this will affect my baby. I keep on top of wake windows being 1.5-2 hours long and my baby is happy in general, feeds well, healthy, etc. Her sleep at night used to he great and got really bad but it seems to be getting a bit better again. However, she is still going to bed pretty late (basically comes up with us at 10-11) and wakes up at arounf 3-4 and then up at 7am. Today we slept in until 9:30 the three of us. We’re normally pretty good waking at 7am but we were so tired… anyway, anyone else on the same boat? No routine? I just don’t think I could do a routine that would stick! We tried putting her to bed earlier yesterday and she was fuming lol

This is my 2nd my 1st had put herself into a routine by now but we have no routine with this one at all! Don't feel awful!

On the second baby here too and no routine to speak of. With my first she put herself into a routine with timings etc by this point. Baby number 2 just sort of fits in lol. I wouldn't worry about routine too much if what you're doing works for you xx

Oh I wouldn’t worry about it! Our schedule is very similar. If baby is happy then just stick to that for now and bring something in when they are a bit older :)

We don't have a routine yet. My husband goes back to work tomorrow (he's had 14 weeks off), so I think we'll get more of a routine as I'll be on my own all week with baby and 3.5 year old, getting him to preschool and other activities. We still take baby to bed with us around 10pm, although she falls asleep on me around 8 so we want to start taking her up earlier but haven't yet

Exact same as us! Wouldn’t worry too much about if it’s working. We are slowly trying to get baby to sleep earlier so we can have time ourself. Trying to get her up about 730 every morning in the hope that adjusts her sleep to an earlier bed x

Mine is falling asleep between 11-midnight, yesterday was 1am. Trying to adjust his nap schedule but will see if it works. Zero routine here and I don't intend to worry about it until he's about 6 months

No routine here! Sounds to me like you’re doing a fab job!

That sounds like a routine to me! At this age wake windows are basically the main routine you can have. If baby is happy and well you feel okay about it I’d say it’s okay! That’s basically the same for us with baby number 1! Xx

I didn’t have a routine with my first because he was an absolute nightmare for sleeping etc, this time round I do try & stick to a routine which I’ve been doing since she was born, now she’s going to sleep earlier but she was coming upto bed at the same time as me. The routine doesn’t happen every single day as I plan but I do try to stick too it as much as I can😅 x
