Do you work outside the home? At home?
Im studying to be a primary school teacher by distance education, but deferred this current semester to have hendrix (he is 13 weeks old).
Do you encourage a daily rhythm for your baby or toddler? How/ What?
Yes we do to a certain extent and have done so since he was a couple of weeks old. He sleeps in his room in his cot through the night but after 7am he comes into our bed for a nap. He then has one good nap in his cot during the day, but otherwise we will be out and about and he sleeps in his pram or baby carrier (he absolutely loves this and we try to carry him for 3 hours a day in it as i definately find it makes him feel secure). He is more comfortable in it than in his pram. Then at night at around 5pm i give him a feed then he is up for around 1.5-2hours and this consists of play with me and my husband, a bath with his dad (a special ritual we really love) and a massage by me before he has another feed in his darkened room. He then goes sleep and we generally dont hear from him then till 6am when he calls out for a feed.
Specific routines
mentioned above! I try to do the eat play sleep routine generally but really follow hendy's lead as sometimes he likes to eat and have a sleep then wake and play and we are really happy with that!
