HI JCEC, we have a set routine here (I know so many people disagree with it but it works for us), Hunter seems to like it and now he is like a little alarm clock! We are loosely following the Tizzy Hall routine and he seemed to follow that sort of routine anyway - feeding 4 hourly during the day! Only thing I had to do was coax him to feed at a more suitable time for a couple of days, I mean offer him food at 7am (even if he feed at 5am) and he now does the same thing most days :-) I am returning to work in 7 weeks so routine is the key for the sanity of our household!
Our day is something like this:
7am wake up to start the day (every morning he wakes anywhere between 645-715 of his own accord) bottle, play
815am sleep
11am bottle, play
1215pm sleep
3pm bottle, play
430pm meant to sleep for an hour - but most days he only kips for 15 minutes at time - this is his cranky time before his bath!!!
530pm bath and massage
6-630pm bottle
7pm bed
10pm dreamfeed
He wakes once during the night (last couple of nights he went to 4-430 but last night was 2)
7am wake up
Some days he sleeps for longer than others and his sleep times will get later as he gets older ;-)
