Show your support
@Janina thank you! ❤️that makes me feel a lot better! I was just kind of following her lead and going with the flow but seeing everyone else saying they do bath & bedtime at say 8pm etc and ive been sat here thinking what am I doing wrong lol x
That is the very best you can do. So you are doing amazing ❤️ Take everything you see with a pinch of salt. At some point you can introduce all these things but not at the moment. It might help to read up on the fourth trimester to give yourself more reassurance. You are doing everything perfectly mumma ❤️
My baby is the same, 8 weeks old and responsive feeding. I don't even look at the clock. When he feeds between 7 and 10 pm. I get him ready for bed, if it's earlier we add in bath and story if he's calm enough. Nothing is in a routine yet. He rules the routine.
i’ve been feeding my 6wk old baby boy his usual 6oz when he’s hungry between 7 and 11 and after that i give him a bath, he has his dummy and then falls asleep cuddling with me and i put him in his basket. last night this was at 7:45pm and he woke at 1am for another change and feed
Congrats on your baby! 🎉 You are doing great as you are! You sound like a very loving and attentive mum! ❤️ Your baby is 6 weeks. There are no routines. Only responsive parenting. Babies at that age are still in the fourth trimester. So kind of an extension of what they want and do in the womb. Just follow your babies ques and needs and all will be good. When they are older you can see a pattern emerge. Like when they wake up. How long they can stay awake and stuff. That is when a natural routine occurs. Right now all your baby wants is to be close to you. 🥰
