I think this is closer to where he's at. Unfortunately he's getting a bit of a cold and has had a little fever, so I'm sure everything is a bit off. Yesterday he probably took 5+ short naps. Still a happy guy though. Loving the baby snuggles and kind of wishing I didn't have to give him back tomorrow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798601 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 07:20:52 +0000 SweetiePie 2798601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 months my son was still on 3-4 naps a day, if there was a 4th it was a very short catnap, like 30-40 mins. Bedtime from 6 weeks on was 7pm or earlier depending on how the day went.<br /> Wake time was still only about 1.5 hours at that age, but I watched like a hawk for sleepy signals and had no problem putting him down at the hour mark if he needed it. </p> <p>Here was our schedule. </p> <p>6:30am wakeup (But we wouldn’t get him till 7am)<br /> 7am bottle<br /> 8am - 10am nap<br /> 11am bottle<br /> 11:30am - 1:30pm nap<br /> 3pm bottle<br /> 3pm - 5pm nap<br /> 6pm begin bedtime routine (bath)<br /> 6:30pm lights out and bottle straight to bed after. This was the only bottle that I didn’t separate from sleep but it never seemed to matter (like later when we dropped bottles at a year he was fine going to sleep without it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798588 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 22:43:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2798588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD just turned 5 months old yesterday. She takes 3 naps a day. She isn’t hungry at all when she wakes up so I can’t do EASY with her. She naps about two hours after waking up. I hope it’s going well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798584 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 22:15:19 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2798584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: Thanks. It wasn't working at all. I wish we'd had more info when we said yes to taking him (because we never would've said yes), but I guess, live and learn. We will stick with babies from now on, or at least until O is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798447 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 00:10:44 +0000 crazydoglady 2798447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: I'm glad to hear the 4 year old was put in a better situation for all. It sounds like it wasn't working for anyone. Have fun with the baby this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798443 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 23:16:26 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2798443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: Thanks! I think tomorrow I'll shoot for the 6w-4m one. I don't think he's going to make it as long as he needs for the next step. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Thanks! We are extremely relieved. Some things came up at the very end that made our decision very clear. I feel awful that he has to move again so soon, but it's definitely the only option at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798437 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 22:17:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2798437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: I can’t remember that age, but I wanted to chime in that I’m glad you found a better placement for the 4 year old and I hope he is happier. That must have been so difficult. Good luck with the baby for the weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798435 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:54:10 +0000 catgirl 2798435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The EASY routine was what we followed at that age (and for a long time after!) and we always found this to be a really helpful cheat sheet. </p> [attach=6706/18/p2u2qa.501x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798434 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:49:30 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2798434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Thanks! This is super helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798433 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:49:18 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2798433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: No, our 4 year old moved on to another more suitable placement. He needs to be the youngest or only child in a home with more adults to supervise. We found what I think will be a great match for him, so fingers crossed it works out! And we just have the 4 month old for the weekend! I just didn't get any info about him so I'm trying to guess the best I can. He just put himself to sleep on the floor gym while I was putting O down, so I have no idea if this is a late nap or an early bed time! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798419 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:18:20 +0000 Mae 2798419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will be 4 mo next week. We just got a good schedule going (immediately before I go back to work... gah!). Anyways. </p> <p>7:30ish wake (she typically wakes herself but I wake her by 745 if she isn't already awake)<br /> 7:45 bottle<br /> 9:30-11 nap 1<br /> 11:30 bottle<br /> 1-2 nap 2<br /> 3:15 bottle<br /> 4-5 nap 3<br /> 7 bottle<br /> 7:30 bed</p> <p>She eats once overnight, but wakes me up a bunch more times just for fun. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798418 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:16:16 +0000 crazydoglady 2798418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: Sorry no advice because I barely remember, but you are amazing! Are you going to have 3 kids with you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-old-schedule#post-2798416 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:14:22 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2798416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to figure out what to expect for a 4 month old in terms of schedule. How long should awake time usually be at this age? How many naps? Bedtime?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
