We do have a nap time and feeding routine, but what we do between just varies daily.</p> <p>Between 7:30 and 8 wake up, change and feed her.<br /> Two hours later, nap time. Wake up, change her feed her breakfast, and a bottle.<br /> Two hours later, nap time. Wake up, change, breakfast.<br /> Repeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/typical-day-with-you-lo#post-118834 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:49:20 +0000 808love 118834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember doing this -writing schedules out--when I had a newborn. I loved making a detailed routine and watch it all play out everyday. Now it looks way different 1 year later...and I don't write it down anymore, like I used to... so here it goes:<br /> 6AMNurse, change, watch a few youtube videos while making breakfast, eat breakfast<br /> Play or go out, snack<br /> 10AMNap<br /> Lunch<br /> Play or go out<br /> 3PMNap, snack<br /> Play or go out<br /> 6PM Dinner, nurse bath, sleep<br /> Wow, it's so much easier to write a schedule nowadays. As a first time mom, I love structure more and more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/typical-day-with-you-lo#post-118728 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:29:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like routine, I like structure, schedules and planning ahead. I always knew once I had a baby that I would need to have some semblance of organization to my day. It's hard having a routine with a 7 week old, but I'm getting there. As he gets older I'll start incorporating more into our day, such as music time, weekly trips to the library, art time, story hour etc.</p> <p>Right now our days look like this:<br /> 8-9am wake up, change LO's diaper<br /> nurse LO, eat breakfast<br /> take a shower with LO<br /> dress LO and myself<br /> 10- 11 am - nurse LO to sleep<br /> LO sleeps about 2.5 hours, during which I do the dishes, catch up on Hellobee, eat lunch, do things on my to-do list and laundry<br /> LO wakes up, nurse<br /> have tummy-time/floor time for about 20 minutes<br /> read a book, sing songs and cuddle on the rocker<br /> Go on a walk - usually just a mile around the block<br /> Then time for LO's late afternoon/evening nap<br /> (he hasn't been wanting to sleep on his own for this nap, not sure why, so I've been holding him for this nap and I watch tv)<br /> He wakes up between 5:30-6pm<br /> Nurse, eat dinner<br /> sing more songs, talk, change into bedtime clothes and bedtime diaper, say prayers<br /> 7:30-8 we start bedtime routine - nursing him to sleep takes about half an hour, then he sleeps from 8:30-8:30 waking twice to nurse.</p> <p>We also go to the gym about every other day, either in the morning or after his first nap.</p> <p>This is a typical day at home, but we do like to venture out too - like the gym, grocery shopping, random errands etc. We're pretty flexible with schedule. He naps great in his moby so I don't worry about naptime being interrupted if we're out. </p>
