Daily Schedule/Routine for your baby?
I'm full of "new mom" questions today, but was wondering if I could call on some of you to help me? I'm trying to get Rayna on a schedule of sorts. Could any of you give me pointers on your schedule (she is 6 months old, if that makes a difference) and perhaps sources where I could get more info on this?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I brought Alistair home at 9 1/2 mos so I don't know how much of this you could use but, here goes!!
6.30 wake up and cuddle time 6.50 diaper change 7.00 breakfast 7.30 playtime 8.30 change into day chothes/new diaper 9.00 playtime 10.0 nap time w/bottle 12.0 lunch / new diaper after nap 1.00 playtime 4.00 nap with bottle 6.00 dinner 7.30 bath time/ massage 8.00 play time quietly 8.30 bedtime with bottle He would wake up once or twice during the night but only for a few minutes. I found that as soon as I got him on a tight schedule I was much happier and so was he. Since then, I have altered it a bit but for the most part, it's clise to the same. (Minus both napshttp://forums.adoption.com/images/icons/icon9.gif) I do miss those nap times!!) I had some friends come down on me for being so strict with his schedule but with all the change he's had in such a short time, I figured that he needed that kind of routine so that he knew what was coming next. Good for you for thing of this now! Shannon

I actually wrote it down so that I would not forget and altered it when I felt it necessary. (Like he wouldn't sleep at a certain time because he really just woke up from another!) Little changes like that.

The best book I ever read on the subject of establishing your baby's routine is: On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo. He breaks down the feeding, waketime, naptime, sleep time by the baby's age. I also didn't have a clue about how to take care of a baby. His principles really worked for me. Check it out!
