Routine

How old is your baby?

Two weeks tomorrow

Personally, I take my baby up to get him ready for bed whenever I decide I’m tired and want to go to bed myself, so it looks different every night 😂 But the routine itself is simple: nappy change, get dressed for bed, swaddle, feed. We don’t bathe him every night, just personal preference.
I’m a second-time mum and I can say that routines at this age are pretty much impossible. My daughter woke every 2–3 hours and was SO hard to settle back to sleep in her next-to-me. My son, on the other hand, wakes every 3–4 hours, barely rouses when we change him, feeds and goes straight back to sleep. Every baby is sooo different!
Between stretches of sleep, we keep the lights low and voices quiet so we don’t wake him up too much, which makes it easier to get him back to sleep. During the day, we let him sleep in daylight to help set his circadian rhythm.

I only bathed both my babies like once a week unless there was a big mess and it was easier and even then i think on 1 occasion i showered with them to rinse downwards, their skin is so sensitive and i also wanted the vernix on them as long as possible x

I EBF both so tbh it was still 1-3hrs x
