i am thankful many times everyday that baby is on a rather predictable routine. perhaps it has to do with us following a feeding schedule which then causes other stuff to fall in place. in any case, it makes looking after her a whole lot easier. and i don't have to wonder most of the time why she is fussing (if she fusses at all). i also get to plan my day and run errands worry-free because i know when exactly i will need to feed her / make her sleep. i also know when her fussy periods are likely to be and so can avoid being out and about during those times.
here's her schedule:
0815-0900 (depending on when she wakes up): the hubby peeps in on her in her bedroom and gets her ready for the day
0845: feeding time - she latches on
0855: baby plays with the hubby and we say goodbye to him around 0915
0945: baby gets a 3oz top up of pumped milk and then plays again
1015: i carry her to sleep
1100: she wakes up and we mooch around either reading stories or dancing to songs
1130: bath time splish splash!
1140: baby gets a 6.5oz bottle of pumped milk
1200: we head out to the neighbourhood mall and i get my lunch
1245: we get home and mooch around
1315: baby naps
1400: baby wakes up (sometimes she wakes up even earlier) and we mooch around some more
1430: baby gets a 6.5oz bottle of pumped milk
1450: we mooch around, baby plays with her toys
1615: baby naps
1700: baby wakes up and we mooch around
1730: baby gets a 6oz bottle of pumped milk
1800: we take a walk either in the nearby garden/park or go to the library to borrow books
1915: we get back from the outing and baby watches her mobile in her cot
1930: bath time splish splash!
1945: baby gets some kick around time while drying off after her bath
1950: baby gets a 6oz bottle of pumped milk
2010-2030 (depending on how quickly she drinks and whether she is still awake after she finishes her milk): baby sleeps on her own in her cot
REPEAT
