    NelleBelle - we are 3 days off being 5 months (oh where did the time go??) and seem to have developed a fairly standard routine.
    Wakes at 7.30 am - feed, quiet play, then back to bed at 9.00am.
    Generally sleeps for 2.5 hours - wakes at 11.30am and has feed, gets dressed and we play or go walking.
    Normally stays awake for about 2 hours so back to sleep at about 1.30pm and sleeps until 4.00pm.
    Has a feed and plays then goes back down for a quick nap at about 5.30-6pm (usually about half an hour).
    Wakes, has play and a bath - then bottle and bed about 7.30ish.
    He generally sleeps thru although if he doesnt he will wake for a feed at 3.58am on the dot - i swear it is that time when i look at the clock!

    Some days are different - i think he is starting to get teeth so has been a bit grizzly for day sleeps over the weekend - but i try to stick to a routine now that is what he seems to have set for himself.

    I am another July Mummy, along with Becc

    Oh just realised you mentioned feeding - Tom seems to go about 4 hours between feeds, sometimes 3 and a half. He has 4 feeds a day - although somedays he will only have small amounts and these are the days i know he will wake during the night for a 5th feed.
