My LO is going to be 7 weeks this Thurs & I am just wondering when to start getting her into a routine of somesort?

Obv right now she is waking,feeding, sleeping pretty much as she pleases but I think sometime soon she needs to do things in some kind of order...

Just after some advice from u mummy's really...!!

Caitlyn got herself into a perfect routine. I think if you give any baby guidence they can sort themselves out. Does she sleep through the night?

Hannah kind of set her own routine. We give her a bath around 8 every evening, she has her last bottle between 8-10 (depending on when she last ate), is up around 2ish, than back up between 5-6.

joshua got himself in his own routine within the first week he was born.

he has a bottle at 7ish pm then wakes up at 2ish am and again at 5ish.
he has a bath every other day at about 6ish then ready for bed.

hmmm
My LO isnt is any sort of routine whatsoever!!
I wonder if its bcoz im still trying to b/f & formula feed?
She was supposed to have a bath this evening but she was b/f followed by formula at 7pm & then went to sleep whch she doesnt normally do.
The plan was to bath her around 8.30 but shes still sleeping so i'll have to bath her in morning....

hmm what to do??

I know what you mean Angelica

Ive tried letting Maya take the lead but everyday is different in terms of when she wants a feed, when she wants to sleep etc

My little Rhys has no routine either, in fact he seems set on sleeping during the day and waking at night time. I know his heart meds make him sleepy, but boy oh boy I wish there was a way to get him in a routine. I've tried feeding him every 4 hours and bathing at the same time every eveing but he just wont sleep at night
