Hi Chele, I have no clue how you'd get her into a routine, with four children at your place - I only have two have and hardly manage to keep them organised! So bearing in mind that I only know half as much as you do, could I suggest maybe not being in too much of a hurry? I know people always say to start the training and routines right from the beginning, but I have also heard that younger kids sometimes develop their own ways of fitting in with the rest of the family. As Kiara is not even 2 months old, she's probably still adjusting to being in the world and may well become more settled once she is a bit bigger and gets over the wind. I guess the afternoon is very difficult for you as she's unsettled and the others are home from school and wanting attention - do you wear her in a sling or baby carrier at all? That might be a way to keep her happy while you attend to the other children, and it's often helpful for the colicky/indigested/windy babies.
