Routine Ideas?

We set a routine very early on for our daughter. Loads of tummy time, books, sensory play, and walks. She would wake up, eat, then nap immediately. She would then be awake for a solid 2 hours before her next nap and we’d just do a ton of play time and reading. Nap, food, loads of playtime, nap, food, etc. In total she napped about 6 hours during the day and slept about 10-12 at night at that age. I hope that helps.

Follow her cues and try to set routines around that. For example; if she's typically tired around 9 am, try to keep naps roughly around that time. Most babies have a bit of a peak in the evening (it gets more pronounced as they get older), so rather than trying to get her to bed at a specific time every night, work with her activity level. When she's active and awake, roll with it, her natural rhythm should follow, she'll tire out, and then putting her down is much easier.

Some babies are more tired in the morning, some in the afternoon. Some are earlier risers. Work with those rhythms to make it easier on yourself.

Keep nights fairly quiet and low-stimulation, as dark as possible. Daytime sunlight, activity, and playtime. Try to get some decent sunlight after the hour of the morning you would prefer to wake, but keep it dark before that. Circadian rhythms are set when sunlight first hits our eyes in the morning, and babies are no different.
