Baby routines

Yes my baby is on a schedule she’ll only drink 6 bottles during the day and is asleep from 2am though either 9am or up to 12pm she also only sleep on her stomach which is what’s helped her sleep more

My daughter just turned three months and I try to keep a tight feeding schedule for every three hours (except overnight). I’m not so strict with nap times because we wear her or interact with her a lot throughout the day so she will sleep when she’s tired pretty much wherever she is at that moment. Typical feeding is 9,12,3,6,9,12...5 ounces everytime is at least offered. Sometimes theres an extra morning feed if she wakes up, if she doesn’t wake up it is skipped. Those hours slightly change depending on if she wakes earlier than 9. Idk if it’s the feeding schedule or what but she always sleeps 6-9 hours every night. Usually closer to 7.5!

what is a schedule? my baby is exactly the same. the only plus side is it seems like he’s sleeping 4-5 hour stretches at night, gets up for one feed and then sleeps for another 4 hours.

My 3 month old has a schedule like Tn weather, one day she eats like she’s hungry hungry hippo and the next day she will snack off and on all day and not finish a full bottle. I have learned that as long as she is happy and thriving and not showing any signs of hunger or issues then we just continue on and feed her what she wants when she wants.
So trying to keep her on a consistent schedule has ended up being out of the question for us at the moment.

No schedule, she does what she wants. Eats just one boob for a few minutes and could sleep for an hour or sometimes both boobs and be wide awake for a few hours. Just when it starts to get consistent it changes. 🤷‍♀️

Hi Athena! I have a 3 month old as well and from my personal experience I’ve just been following my baby’s cues whenever he’s hungry, tired, etc. if it’s a schedule I try to keep him on, it’s mostly when bed time comes around between 7:30-8 PM- his usual time he likes to fall asleep.

Personally, I do not find sticking to a strict schedule is a must, but having some sort of schedule or routine helps makes things a little easier.

No schedule necessarily. He's fed on demand but at least every 2-3 hrs. Sometimes he's hungry again in an hr and I'll just feed him. My son has a very high metabolism and his body burns calories quickly so his hunger varies. He's bottle and breastfed. He gets at least 3-4 4.5oz bottles of breastmilk plus about 5-6 feeds on the breast a day. He always finishes his bottles.

As far as sleep goes, he will not go down for 3hrs at least until 12am. Any time before 12am, he only sleeps an hr or less. I try to make him nap at least every 2-3hrs during the day because he gets fussy if he goes too long without one.

My son is kinda on a schedule. I work graves and take him to work with me but hes doing really good knowing which nights we're at my job and which nights we're home. But throughout the week his bed time is 10:30 and he'll sleep till 6am and wake up for a feeding and then go back to sleep. If its a night we're at my job I wake him up at 8:40am and feed him and change him and get him in the car seat so we can leave by 9am and then he takes a morning nap for about 30 minutes. If we're home he still goes to bed at 10:30pm and wakes up at 6am for a feeding and then he'll sleep till 9:30am sometimes 10am. Every day he takes a nap when his older brother is asleep but he goes down earlier and wakes up either right before or after and depening how hes feeling he'll take a nap or 2 before bed time. I breastfeed but I have noticed hes been nursing a lot more frequent but shorter times. Or sometimes he'll go a pretty good length without wanting to nurse and will bite me if I try to nurse him and hes not hungry

3 months old and sleeping 7-8 hours at night. We aren’t strict on a schedule rn. We have routines such as letting feed whenever she wants all day (4-5 oz every 2 hours usually or sometimes every 4 hrs) she takes long naps during the day. When it’s night time we put her in sleep suit and give 5 oz bottle in dark room with red nightlight and white noise.
