HI All.
I don't blame you guys for hating the early morning rising...Im lucky our pretty much set in stone (for now at least) routine is:
7-7:45 am wake
8am offer bottle (often refused)
8:05am play on floor
8:30 cereal
8:45-9:15 (somewhere in there!) rest of bottle
9-9:30 sleep
10am Dummy return
11:30am wake
11:30 til 12-12:30pm play
12:30ish bottle (usually 100ml)
12:45-1:30 play
1:30-2pm rest of bottle in nursery
2-2:30pm sleep
5-5:30pm(somewhere in there) wake
Bottle offered on waking
Play until grumpy, then cereal
Bath straight after cereal
Play with daddy til grumpy (usually between 6:45 and 7:15)
Into nursery for rest of bottle, then off to sleep
He's usually asleep by 7:30...7:45 at the latest. Usually will sleep through til between 1:15 and 2am, bottle, then straight back to bed. (often will wake at 6am but thats a dummy return)
Most of his feeds happen in 2 stints (probably not a good thing but seems to work for us and means he actually eats a decent amount....he usually has about 100ml when first offered, and then will have another 70-100ml before I put him into bed.
He always goes to bed awake..if quiet, he doesn't have his dummy, if he gets grizzly we give him 30seconds to a couple of minutes (depending on the urgency of the noise) to see if he self settles, if not we then give him his dummy
Usually if we need to go out (if its a long drive) we leave at 9am so he gets his normal sleep in the car, if its just shopping etc, we go between the 2 sleeps)
During his morning sleep, I have my shower, then clean, sterilise and make the bottles for the day, put a load of washing on, then do the bathrooms or vacuuming etc.
During his arvo sleep, I prepare dinner as much as I can, hang the washing, (and fold the washing from the day before) read the forums, play on ebay, and hit the ironing.
So thats our day in a nutshell...seems to be working out pretty well for us!!
Will pop back later for personals, I'm off to do the bottles and make some broccoli soup!
