Absolutely no schedule over here!! 😂
@Poppy I wouldn't even try! He is the boss and he knows it haha 😄
No, it doesn't work until they have dropped to fewer naps. We switched to a schedule when my first was 7 months and dropped to 2 naps. We just follow the routine of wake windows atm and will until this baby drops to 2 naps as well.
haha that’s funny! no schedule here either… very much led by baby.
Absolutely no schedule either! Can’t wait for it though, the unpredictability is killing me 🤣
It really pisses me off when I see this shite on the internet. It causes so much anxiety and worry in mums whose babies are fed on demand and not in a routine due to being.. just a newborn?! Honestly my first had no routine until about 4 months, and even that was just what she decided she wanted to do. Just too much pressure!
@Eve yep! It's designed to have us doubt our abilities and instincts. Not cool 😑
I think it’s just something to guide I found using the wake windows as a rough guide to avoid an overly cranky baby . That being said my little one couldn’t care less , my first however , it worked for him so just go with what your little one needs and wants
This annoys me, too! There's so much info on the Internet and through professionals that my mental health has depleted due to this! I became obsessed with feeding baby every so many hours and a certain amount of milk, etc, and it made me ill!! I've come to realise that no one decides what my baby wants and needs, except herself. The only thing I've noticed is that baby is extremely cranky when she doesn't get enough sleep in the day, which makes her upset in the evenings into the early hours. Only us parents know what is best, and I will follow that all the way through my parenting! How the hell do you implement a routine for an 8 week old? Sorry, but it's ridiculous! Rant over, sorry! Sending lots of love to you mums out there xx
I’ve just started using the huckleberry app to try and help my days make sense but I do think that schedule is unrealistic.. I do what my baby tells me to do haha, he is 10 weeks today so there is no true pattern of behaviour yet to follow.
What the flippety flop?! My 8 week old still goes to bed at about 1am. She obviously didn’t read this schedule 🤷♀️ 😂 This is my third baby and I feel like each time, I’ve worried less and less about timings for things. Just follow your babies cues, things will fall into place soon enough.
I feel like at 2 months, baby’s schedule is still completely decided by them! I would maybe use this more as a guide and fit it in with your baby and their wake windows instead of making baby form to a schedule yet x
