baby routine?

posted 21st Aug
does anyone who has a baby under 3 months old have a daily routine for them? a family friend of ours has an almost 2 month old who sleeps for about 4-7 hours at night and she is on a daily routine and is put to bed at 9:30. is there anyone else who does that? also, what are ways that you get your child to sleep longer? i know there must be ways!! lol

I did that with Libbie, it worked for bedtimes actually. During the day I let her sleep whenever but tried reducing her nap time by keeping the lights on, music on, tv on, and then at 6:00 everynight I would give her a bath, give her a massage, a bottle, her blanky and then we would have quiet time and she would be out by 8:30. BUT by the time she was 4.5 months old she started getting up after bedtime to play because she realized she could lol...But goodluck!

My little one has been on a schedule since probably a month old. The schedule changed a few times, Now she is almost 5 months and it's pretty set:
9am- Some Cereal, bottle
10:30- bath
11am- Nap
1pm- Bottle
3pm-Nap
5pm- Bottle
730pm-Nap
9pm- Bottle
9:30-10pm- Talk time (sit and with mommy and daddy on bed and talk and giggle)
10 and on, say goodnight to all stuffed animals, and sleeps until about 8-9am
If she wakes up earlier, I put a paci back in her mouth cover her back up and walk out of the room

When she was still in her bassinet I swaddled her everynight
That thing was my savior!! I loved it. She would be swaddled and know that it was time for bed and go right to sleep with the paci!

my little guy will be one week tomorrow. We're working on getting a schedule together. So far, he gets bathed between 9and 10 at night, bottle, and then laid down. He wakes every 2-3 hours for a bottle and or changing...which is fine. i'm just trying to get bath time associated with bedtime for him.

My little man is a month old, and we've fallen into a pretty good nighttime routine already. He will usually want a bottle about 7pm, so I feed him, bathe him, give him a massage w/ some bedtime lotion and hes out by about 8:30 or so. He wakes up at 11 to eat, and we will usually read a book or two during that feeding. Then hes up at 3 to eat, then between 7-8 am hes up to eat. Usually after that feeding hes up for awhile and we go about our day. Our days arent quite on a schedule yet, but nighttimes run almost like clockwork.
