What's your LO nap/bedtime schedule?

Or are they too young still?

I feel like my daughter is getting over that 4 month sleep regression and we're back to taking multiple naps a day.

Her last nap before bedtime is a hit or miss and idk if I'm doing right by skipping it sometimes and putting her straight to bed for the night.

She starts getting fussy by 5-530p and if I were to let her nap (range from 45 minutes-2 hours long) then bedtime would probably be by 9-10p and I refuse to do that lol

I forgot what my point was... lol


Please share a typical naptime bedtime schedule

heyyy! My daughter is 4 months and a week old and for the last 1 1/2 in a half I’ve put her on a schedule that’s worked for her and honestly she sleeps all night. I usually give her a shower with me and then right after she drinks a warm 6 oz bottle . She drinks it all and falls asleep . She doesn’t wake up in between 5-6am.

6:00/6:30 wake up

8:30-9:00 first nap (1-2 hours)

12:00ish second nap (1 hour ish)

3:30 third nap (this is the hardest nap sometimes only 30 min. If it does go for an hour I wake her)

7:00 bed time!

This is the usual but things get wonky sometimes if she sleeps later in the morning!

My daughter is 4 months and a few days.
We start our night routine after daycare around 6:15. I give her a bath and after I give her 4-6oz of milk and play white noise while laying in the dark and she’s sleep by 7:15. She’ll wake up again around 12am and then again around 4am. Both times just to eat and immediately back to sleep and she’s up for the day around 7am

How many naps does your baby have? My twins had 4 naps and they were sleeping weird/not well and was suggested to drop to 3 naps around 3.75 months and it worked better for them. They wake up 630-7, wake windows are roughly 2 hours and first two naps are 1.5-2 hours and their last nap around 5 is 30-45 minutes (depending on how their first 2 naps go). Then bedtime closer to 8

We don’t have a routine exactly, but we do have a loose structure to the day. I just aim for 2 hour wake windows. She’s having 3-4 naps every day still. Ranging from 30-90 mins but in total it’s around 3-4 hours of day sleep. Then she sleeps for 10-11 hours at night.

I find tracking her naps daily help me make sure she gets the right amount of day/ night sleep. But I don’t force her to nap at the same time every day, we just go with the flow in that sense x

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
