We do tend to be home in the afternoons (mainly because the activities we attend are on in the mornings) and apart from school pickup and drop off we’re just winging it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-schedule-for-newborn-amp-toddler-25#post-2824161 Tue, 22 May 2018 21:41:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2824161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have almost exactly that age gap. The single biggest help was that my second baby was much more easy going than my first and would fall asleep on the go for the first few months. So I mostly kept to the 2.5 year olds schedule, which was one nap a day after lunch. So we would go to a morning activity and the baby would fall asleep in the stroller or carrier (city living, we walked everywhere), she’d wake up at some point, and I usually would try my best to get a nap for her during big sisters nap time. But remember the first few months are so all over the place and it was all about awake times, not actual time on a clock. I did used to try to let her have at least one good nap at home, often in the afternoon. </p> <p>My first was not like this at all and just wouldn’t sleep anywhere unless she had just the perfect conditions, so an easy going second was a huge relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-your-schedule-for-newborn-amp-toddler-25#post-2824158 Tue, 22 May 2018 21:24:56 +0000 nwm 2824158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>looking ahead to my late-ish june due date and trying to figure out what maternity leave is going to look like. admittedly i pretty much entirely failed to get LO1 on a schedule on maternity leave, but working toward the schedule gave me something to aim for and i think did help me at least work on good sleep habits even if they took a while to crystallize. but all the resources i had assumed just one baby and overlapping those schedules with my son's schedule makes my head hurt! would love to hear what schedules people employed or aimed for with infants roughly 1-4 months (assuming obviously it will take a few weeks to try to work into any infant schedule and then that schedule will change and then change again) and a toddler who will be 2 years 4 months when baby arrives. thanks! </p>
