I keep reading how lots of mums are trying to get their baby into what seems like a military routine with feeding, naps, and bedtime. Am I the only one who is letting my baby do his thing, and I go with him ? I feel a little lost. It has been 11 years since my last

We roughly follow moms on call for feeding but only because I found it worked really well for us from the get go. I wouldn’t force anything and my baby seemed more settled just after a day or so after trying it. For me it took away the stress and time to figure out why he was crying because I knew where he was at and meant I could respond to his ques quicker as I knew what he needed next

🙋🏼♀️I am! Im picking up on his cues but trying to see if he is forming his own routine. Some days he needs a lot of sleep and day time naps and other days he has cat naps and wants to chat/play. I think as I get closer to going back to work, I’ll start to shape a routine just to help with nursery transitioning. But you aren’t alone right now, just going with the flow

I'm using huckleberry to semi regiment his sleep during the day but only because this boy gives NO sleepy cues and goes from chill to overtired in 2 secs and then I spend upto 45 mins to settle and encourage sleep 😂
He's a reflux babe tho so feeding is all on his terms for him feeling better and tbh I don't care how often he is up overnight, doesn't last forever so I'm okay sucking it up for now

I am, no routine at all here, completely baby led. A far difference from my first where I paid for huckleberry, stuck to routines id researched etc. And it feels so much better and easier this time.

I let her nap whenever in the day but we do have a bedtime routine normally after her 7:30/8pm feed as she’s tired then x

I've been doing that with both of my babies. I'm able to read cues and take it from there. Never had a strict routine with either of them and it works for us

Nope you’re not the only one! I’m completely baby led too
