No routine

Following this as we're in the same situation 10 weeks. Baby born at 37 x

Hello there, my LO is 10weeks this Saturday and we established her sleeping routine from week 2. We go go bed at 7. This means lights are kept low and not much noise, a complete contrast of what her day is like as were always out and about, so during the day shes used to noise. I then feed her and she might sleep anywhere between 7:30 to 8:30. I soend this time feeding and burping her. During the night, shes up every couple of hours for feeding. Shes regressing atm as she used to sleep much longer. After each feed, she just fall asleep now, I used to lull her so sleep but now she independly goes back to sleep. Then we wake up at 7am. Noise, brightness is adjusted so she knows its day and wake time. It is hard as its a complete adjustments for us. But it will pay off. Soon, i will be looking at using the baby monitor and let her sleep alone while we get our freedom back. ( the ironing pile is getting high 😅)

We have a reflux and CMPA boy too and the combination of the CMPA milk & carobel have been a godsend for us. As for the routine, some babies will take to a routine early and others won’t. Our boy is 11 weeks on Saturday and for the past few weeks we’ve been on a feeding schedule and he’s been sleeping through the night. He’s totally taken to structure but my daughter never did x

For the first 2 weeks i didnt get more than maybe 3hours sleep on a night as he wouldnt sleep unless held and my partner worked so was limited to how much he could help me...then I started cosleeping with him which helped a lot, and after he fell asleep on his side next to me we were sometimrs able to move him to the next to me cot (partner did this more successfully as hes not the milk maker)... Now my LO (11weeks) still doesn't like to fall asleep unless being held and on a night it has to be mummy that holds him in order for him to sleep, for now we are just co sleeping and not using the cot as that's what he needs to be able to sleep. I try and do last feed at 10pm, wake up at roughly 2 and then 5 for feeds, then get up between 7 and 8am.. its not a great routine but I'm learning not to stress about that as well get one when we are both ready for it

Try not to worry long term, 9 weeks is so young. We had no routine until much older with my first, he didn’t sleep for long stints at all and at 18m started sleeping through the night in his own room. Sometimes they just do it when they’re ready

I have literally the same thing with my 8 weeks boy.. a friend of mine mentioned that Omeprazole can help with the reflux and on Monday I will speak to the doctor to see if he can prescribe it.. over wise is a nightmare, he is not getting a proper sleep and this is impacting his neurological development ..

I never respond to these but this is identical to us! 4 weeks early with cmpa and silent reflux, 8 weeks now and only just finding our feet with a routine. We were also doing ‘shifts’ in the living room with him. We only do one gaviscon before bed, because of the constipation, and then do an infacol at his next feed. We were feeling so rubbish about it and the midwife said to us we have to remember some babies will be born at 40-42 weeks so not to be disheartened as really he missed out on 4 weeks of being kept warm and held inside. We’ve started a routine of bath with projector lights and music, feed with gaviscon, then walk with him upright in the carrier and we walk until he is in a deep sleep😂 sometimes it doesn’t work and he wakes when we transfer him to the crib but the routine means we are starting the evenings calmer even if it is a rough night as I found it would get to 6pm and I’d be filled with so much dread. Anything to make the evenings better/easier for you🤍

I don't understand how people have routines, don't all babies just do what they want when they need it? 😅 I mean I have a rough routine, like wake up, feed her, change her, swingy chair, nap but then on its just do whatever she wants as and when.
