Do you work outside the home? At home? Stay at home mum.
Do you encourage a daily rhythm for your baby or toddler? How / what? When my baby was first born, I used a 'method' from an English woman's book, but it was too strict and upset us both more than it helped. I stopped and just followed the feed, play sleep routine and my baby's own patterns and signals. Now we try to keep things 'regular' and I just follow his cues.
Do you have any specific routines family dinner all together (without TV!) in the dining room, then bath, books, cuddles (used to be boob, but sadly he weaned himself) then bed.
Every morning after breakfast, either my husband or I change our baby's 'Daily calendar' with him (it has the weekday, date, month and year as well as the weather...) and talk about what we're doing that day and what the weather is like etc.
