She's kinda set her own routine wakes up at the samerime pretty much everyday and sleeps/naps at the same times - it's the same with feeding
At 3 weeks any routine would purely be for you rather than baby, they definitely won’t stick to it, so think about what you might want to do but set it with a pinch of salt is what I’d say. We’re only really getting into one now at 5 weeks and it’s definitely still got a fair amount of flex in it! We’re doing: curtains open at 8am and change of clothes, the day is totally on him and his schedule bar making sure we get out for a walk, then about 8.30 we do bath or top + tail wash, story or music, and bottle then bed.
5 weeks and only vaguely! Head up to bed with dim lights only at 10pm. Try and get her down by 11:30pm. She'll sleep through until 3am, 7am and 10-11ish each time for a nappy change and a feed then straight back to sleep. Get her up, fresh and downstairs until 10pm with plenty of daytime noises, daylight including a walk and it's all responsive feeds and naps during that time. Affected a lot by stimulation. If my partner's at work and the house is quiet she's really chilled and happy in the daytime. If we've had visitors or been out and about a lot she's very fussy and the night time routine is a lot harder. Just takes a bit to balance exposure with over stimulation
Mostly going with the flow at that stage. I go with babies cues and could tell she was starting her own schedule around 5-6 weeks and then i started to follow those times but still very loose. I think after 2 months is when you start implementing more scheduling etc. I am moving in 2 weeks and she will be just over 2 months so going to start more strictly then!
You will have a sort of loose routine even if you don’t realise, for your mental health maybe go for a pram walk at a similar time each day and start building small things into a routine, perhaps that you go to bed at a certain time each night or give a final feed before a nappy change and into sleeping bag or down in cot xxx
4weeks. We tend to go with the flow during the day with baby. But we have a bit of a routine for me and partner. 6am partner gets up feeds her, face wash and clothes changed. Pops her down for a nap. Next feed is 8:30ish so in this time partner goes to work, I either get up shower or get an extra hour in bed. (I do night feeds with her) then 9am-5pm I go with the flow with baby. Eg. Tummy time, play, Classes/meeting for coffee. But don’t put pressure on myself if I don’t do anything and have a home day. I do Try to ensure we have gone out for a walk at some point (even for 15mins) 5pm partner is back so he has her to do some daddy bonding until 7pm when we bath or shower her, change her into onesie, dim lights , turn down music or tv and feed for 8pm. She then is very settled for the rest of the night. Only gets up for feeds and then goes right back to sleep. The routine is purely for us be able to know where we are. As we found it hard mentally not to have a bit of a daily plan.
Too young for a routine in my opinion till about 12 weeks
Mine has a routine due to having a toddler also that needs to stick to his. So we head to bed around 8pm and baby is in bed by half 9 latest and will sleep until about 2am. I’ve noticed she gets grumpy now around 19:40 and doesn’t settle until in pyjamas and starting bedtime so I think the routine helps her x
8 weeks here and don't have a routine kinds going with her flow still apart from putting her in daytime clothes when she properly wakes up and a sleepsuit at night and baths every other night
