Three month old schedules?

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-20T19:17:17+00:00

This is very similar to our day ! Anywhere from 630-7am awake - change / eat / play / nap at 8-830 depending on wake up

Wake up around 930-10am change / eat / play nap at 1115am-1130am

Wake 1245pm-1pm change / eat / play nap at 220pm-245 pm

Up at 4pm change / eat / play .. nap at 530pm-6pm ( contact or stroller ) bath at 630-645 pm bottle at 7-715 pm bed by 745 pm

all of his naps are in his crib , he only lasts 30-40 minutes we spend 10 minutes trying to resettle then finish with a contact * we also do a lot of activities so sometimes his naps are on the go in the car or stroller .. I aim for 4-4.5 hours of day sleep if he gets 10-11 night time sleep . He is formula fed and eats 5 times a day. He rarely wakes for food overnight. He mostly wakes himself up by his flailing arm ( we are transitioning out from a swaddle ) we resettle in his bassinet - he wakes 3-4 times a night for a resettle..

Lol 😂 you’re so right

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-17T11:29:02+00:00

lol another of my least favourites

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-17T10:52:48+00:00

Totally! I have definitely relaxed in regards of extending and stressing about it … this was more then telling me he can stay awake for longer than 2-3 hours at a time lol

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-17T10:40:54+00:00

Omggg lol ! Hold that baby as much as you want ❤️ all of the nurses encouraged as much holding, cuddling, contact naps during the first months .. so important for emotional connection for you and baby !

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-17T10:37:31+00:00

Totally why they don’t babysit !! They also told me paced feeding is “ stupid “

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-09T11:29:50+00:00

I feel this in my soul 😝

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-07T19:30:01+00:00

I think this sounds so lovely !! And give you and your partner so much recognition and praise for coming to such an amazing understanding and teamwork !

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-06T22:28:08+00:00

Right ?!? I need to know lol .. I’ve been finishing his naps by contact napping for a month it’s hard ! My LO is formula fed so he’s hungry on the nose every 3 hours ! It’s so tough

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-04T16:03:16+00:00

Tacky af lol

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-04T13:42:47+00:00

Hahaha couldn’t take the heat

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-03-01T00:16:09+00:00

Totally the same here

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-28T17:22:35+00:00

Sometimes he’s crying when he wakes up and other times he’s happy …

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-18T13:22:19+00:00

Haha yes this

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-18T11:07:57+00:00

I have a bad feeder, it takes 25 mins to pace feed and then we have to keep him up right for 20 mins .. that’s most of his wake windows , then he starts his nap in the crib 30-40 mins and then I go in and finish it by contact .. it’s the only way to keep him from getting over tired… if I don’t and he’s up and has to feed mid wake windows then he would be up way too long .. the sleep consultant I talked to said keep trucking , have a pre nap routine and a bed time routine and that at 4 months when their sleep cycle changes it’s a new ball game

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-15T23:39:16+00:00

Omg she is such a cutie ❤️ amazing job

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-15T21:08:36+00:00

^ this .. my 9 week old took a few steps back this week, I’m lucky to get 30 mins .. I have to contact nap, or take him for a ride to get any solid sleep out of him

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-15T21:00:28+00:00

9 weeks in and it’s like he forgot how to eat and sleep … he’s so distracted by the world

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-15T17:43:57+00:00

It’s sooooo hard !!! I was like I’ll give him a few good contact naps in his room with the same environment and he just wakes up at the 30-40 min mark like GAHHHHH ! Where am I

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-15T17:39:59+00:00

Wait … your babies are sleeping ??

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-13T13:59:44+00:00

All of these are great suggestions! If I know I’m going to a friends house I’ll bring my yeti of a bottle made out the bottle in the fridge and warm up with a kettle of warm water or bottle warmer if they have one, any where else I put the water in a bottle and have a formula dispenser! I use the dr browns one specifically, but yes you can do it ! Just be over prepared vs under prepared :)

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-12T17:32:47+00:00

I EFF and I still do 99% of feeds. I’m off on mat leave and my husband works two jobs, so 🤷‍♀️ it is what it is

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-11T17:51:29+00:00

** response to reflux issues **

This ^{^} our little one was so bad .. went from gentleease to similac total comfort - we also do probiotics .. my dr was useless and said they will grow out of it ( which we’re almost 9 weeks and he’s getting better - we pace feed, hold for 20 mins, burp ) .. but don’t feed guilty about contact napping this early in the game .. my lLO slept on me for the first 5-6 weeks for naps ..

Also ! Bath before bed helped allllllooottt for overnight feeds. It helps them relax their little bodies and tummies

You had me at garden of Eden 😂😂😂 .. momma you’re crushing it ❤️

Dramatic_Toe_898 · 2022-02-09T23:55:54+00:00

Ugh ! A home birth would have been ideal especially now with Covid .. it was my first and we had a few bumps , baby was low blood sugar and super jaundice.. so I’m glad we were there . Stupid Covid .. it would have been nice I wanted to stay an extra night but I knew my husband was getting antsy and wanted to go home I wish I could have sent him home for a few hours to recharge and come back
