Question on routines

My babies 6 weeks old and I was curious does anyone have a routine they stick to, we have a lose one but to be honest I find it quite hard to stick to it day to day depending on my babies moods and what she needs. Was curious how everyone else is finding things with trying to get their baby into a routine!

Nope. We won’t be even attempting a routine until she’s 4 months. We are following her lead for now whilst she is still learning to be out of the womb.

Same as you, very loose routine but it’s completely baby led. It’s more he has his own little pattern rather than a routine- definitely varies day to day

Very loose routine because I have a toddler and he seems to enjoy routine. For example if we don’t go up to bed around 8:30/9pm he gets a bit moany even though he can sleep in his downstairs cot 😅 Besides wake up times, I’m baby led in the day. He still sleeps a lot with very minimal wake windows so we just go with the flow and he just fits in with my toddler 😅

No routine at all, just go with what he wants on the day ☺️

Started introducing some routine but it’s definitely whether she feels like it or not! I try to stick to a bath time at 8PM, feed and reading, hopefully asleep at 9PM and she’ll sleep through until her night feed at 2-3AM… yesterday we went to bed at 11.30 😂

Thank you everyone! Nice to know it’s pretty much the same across the board! I feel like social media paints a very different picture sometimes so it’s good to know we’re on the right lines!

My 10 week old has roughly just STARTED getting into a pattern rather than a routine. Followed her lead and she’s doing well! We’ll figure it out when we need to!

9 weeks in, very loose routine still. Most babies are 4 months old before they really have a routine I was told

My little one is 6 weeks tomorrow He sticks to a rough routine I.e bottle every 3-4 hours But I just follow his lead completely Baby no3, so he’s very laid back 😂

My daughter is 9 weeks and i just have a loose routine the only thing i really try to keep the same is her last nap to end by 8/8:30 so she can have a bath and bottle and go to bed as it takes her a while to go into her cot still

We don’t have a routine but we do things consistently so it gets her used to a routine xx

Very loose routine here, but that’s mostly because I really enjoy my lunchtime co-sleep nap that we’ve started to do every day. One day she didn’t go down for it, and I was so sad 😅

During the day I wake my son every 4 hourly for a feed to keep him topped up during the day, I then give him a bottle around 12pm then he will sleep until 6/7am x

I keep my son in a routine as he fits into my 2 year olds routine so it just helps me personally x

Our 6 week old has sort of fell into a routine because we already have a 2 year old who is in one so it's sort of happened naturally. But she has a bottle every 2 to 3 hours, and we go to bed about an hour after my toddler every night after her last bottle. The night feeds are more predictable that way. X

We don't really have a routine, we put him to bed between 7-9pm, that's the only thing we are consistent on 😅
