Any mums here not really doing routines such as nap timings, timing feeds and bottles etc. and just going by baby cues throughout the day.
I feed the baby when he wants feeding and he sleeps when he wants to sleep, but see a lot of posts on here about tracking these things or recently cutting down naps and bottles etc…
Or is it just me!?

I follow my baby's cues too. If she's tired she can nap, if she's hungry I feed her. My health visitor told me how forcing a baby to nap when they're not ready just to fit into a routine can raise their cortisol levels, which then affects their night time sleep etc.
I honestly don't understand why people force their babies to stay awake or wait for feeds for a period of time..they know what they want and they let us know!🥰

Yeah we have no routine at all and I couldn’t even tell you how many times he feeds a day
