Exactly! We don't have a routine at all to be honest. I just wondered what a 'typical' (if there is ever one of those too) 24hour period is like.

I never even thought about reading to Amelia before reading that others do it too, i tried it today and she loved it!

I only started reading a week ago cos i was like shes 14 weeks whats the point!

It is very strange but it really calms her down. IT must be something to do with babies liking to hear mummy.

do you just know they're tired and put them 'down' and they sleep???

cos i feed abs, she'll go to sleep, i'll put her down she'll scream!

i know she's tired, but she'll only sleep ON me. or occassionally in the pram.

how do you get them to nap???

Well after a feed Amelia is always really sleepy but she does wake up then i place her on the mat with the musical toy thingy above her she loves looking at the flashing lights (her arms and legs flayling (sp?) about) she talks to it and generally tires herself out.

When she starts getting grouchy i pick her up, talk to her a little (if she avoids looking at me then i know she is tired).

We have a cuddle and i let her get really sleep or actually fall alseep on me then i place her in the pram. Or if i place her in the pram on her tummy she will fall asleep by herself.

I only let her sleep on her tummy if i am around. Does abs like sleeping on her tummy?

no, she doesn't, she grunts like a little pigie!lol.

i suppose taking her in the pram and letting her nap like that is ok then... i can't rock her (she just wants boob)

i want to be able to put her down and she settles herself to sleep, not sure how and when that will happen
