When did you start a sleep routine &how did you know when?
Yeah...so I think Ava has been starting to get into a pattern, but not totally sure.
When did you start a night time routine and when did you know what time to start it?
Like, last night, she had a bottle and then was out at this time (her 730 bottle, she cluster fed for 4 hours straight last night- tonight was 3 hours straight; e.g 10 oz from 530-730). She slept from 8pm-4 am last night and then again until 745.
So, tonight, she just had her 730 bottle, burped, and is passed out. MH is swaddling her now. Should I try the 730 bottle, if there is one tomorrow night at this time, in her room for a routine...assuming she stays out tonight?

Planning and Married Bio
My Randomness Blog!!
We've typically been doing bottles every 2 hours from 5-9ish, then after her 9/9:30 bottle we take her to her room, put her in the sleep sack, turn on the mobile and put her down for the night. She's awake for maybe 20 min and then out. We've been doing this for about 2 weeks with good success. Sometimes she wakes up at 3 or 4, sometimes she sleeps until 5 or 6. The other night she slept from 9-6 - THAT was glorious! She typically only naps for about 3 hours during the day though, if that.
So I think if she's falling asleep at 7:30, go ahead and put her down. No sense in trying to keep her up if she'll be cranky and fussy for another hour or two, right?

Oh yea, then I'd start putting her in the crib awake after that last bottle. Worst thing that happens is she doesn't fall asleep, but she'll get used to it! Some nights Emily just isn't ready for bed yet and needs another bottle, but she's usually content watching her mobile for awhile until she's wet or hungry again. But that at least gives me some time to do my own thing!
The Sand in My Snow Boots
I think we started a routine around two months - but JJ and I co-slept when he was a baby because of his breathing issues. But I'd normally pick him up from DC, give him a bottle and then put him down for the night when he was that age. As he got older, we adjusted it - and now, we live by the three B's: Bath, Book, Bed.
Glad she's a great sleeper!
