At least I'm not alone and only reason I say is because all powple I talk to speak about routine and I just don't see the point its like us we do different things different days everyday different
Every baby is different, you'll get there with a routine :)
We are at 13wk and baby dictates our routine. Thankfully he seems to be happy having last feed roughly when we want to go to bed, and then wakes up as my partner needs to for work. We didn't train this into him (at least not intentionally). During the day anything goes.
Not at all, you do you! If what you're currently doing is working then I see no issue at all.
Not at all! We're baby lead! I can't get my head around routines at all. Why would I do stuff at a specific time of day because a schedule tells me to instead of doing it when my baby wants/needs?
I’m not in a routine with my daughter xxx
I wouldn’t say I’m in a routine as such, closest to makes me in a routine is that baby gets ready for bed anytime after 6pm with a bottle, whether that’s 6, 7 or 8pm Other than that anything goes as baby needs as long as he’s happy and content I’m happy
I find having a loose routine helpful but I have a toddler as well as my 10 week old. My toddlers routine is the most important for now though and I work the baby around it. Do what works for you. Everyone is different 🤷🏼♀️
No routine here, the idea of trying stresses me out 😅 hoping that in time it will come together naturally...
No routine either, why check the clock constantly when you can listen to what baby needs as and when he needs it? We aim to pop him to bed 8/9pm, but that's just because he set a pattern that also helps us manage sleep duties between two parents.
No routine here either x
We don't have a routine either, we work around what our little boy needs and does as he is only 12 weeks and the routine thing also stresses me out then it makes me feel as if im not doing a good enough job. Honestly stop beating yourself up, just go with the flow and do whats best for you and your little family! it will all fall into place, theres too much pressure nowadays and every baby is different 😊
No routine here! We have a 2 year old, as well as our 9 week old, so our focus is keeping his routine in place what with all the changes and getting a new baby brother! We didn’t set his routine up fully until he turned 1! Just go easy on yourself, as long as your baby is happy and you are doing well then carry on doing what works 😊
I feel this so much! All I hear/see is routine routine routine and I have no idea how people take their babies to bed at 7/8/9 cause that’s way too early for me to go bed 😅 He goes to bed whenever I feel like I want go to bed and during the day he sleeps in his Moses basket whenever he looks sleepy but we mostly do contact naps cause he prefers that. We do baths whenever we get a chance or if he’s covered himself in sick 😅

The ONLY reason I have an evening routine with my boy is to combat his witching hour 😂 if he was happy chilling downstairs with me until I went to bed he wouldn’t have one! He’s an awful napper (30-40 mins tops every 2-3hours) and gets so overtired in the evening that if I didn’t initiate him going to bed it would just be miserable for both of us. The minute he’s in his next to me after a bath at around 8:30 he’s chilled right out and will then sleep through the night. I didn’t implement this routine I just sort of followed him being overtired 🤣 In the day its a free for all 😂 no one is better for having a routine or not having one every baby is different ☺️
We're not in a routine. Doesn't mean we're shit mums. My sons 3 months on Sunday, we bath our son 3 times a week. He stays awake most of the day, falls asleep about 7, wakes up for a 8ish/9ish and then sleeps from 10:30/11 until about 6/7/8 on a good day. We just let baby tell us what he wants to do
