When do they sleep / nap / get up / feed etc?? Just curious as we have our routine but I feel like I need a bit of reassurance / direction!
Thanks!

We have a bit of a routine but not much! DD is 21 weeks, she has her bath around 6-6.30pm and goes to bed around 7.30-8pm although sometimes takes until 9pm to settle. She wakes around 3am and 5am for feeds although recently has been waking more often and sometimes not going back down for a couple of hours, hence the name!

We get up at around 6.30am and she has a nap around an hour and a half after waking and doesn't eat until then. Naps and feeds during the day vary but she tends to be more grumpy/nap more during the morning. This makes getting ready to go out a bit of a challenge Grin. On the whole she naps/feeds (BF and needs boob to go to sleep) around every 2-3 hours. She doesn't nap for long during the day - we are lucky to get 30 minutes but mostly it is around 15.

Actually, typing it makes things seem less chaotic than they feel. Sometimes I feel as though we have been winging it all day and I have no idea what I am doing then other times feel really together.

DD is 20 weeks.

She wakes up around 6.30, has a feed.
Naps around 8 with another feed for around 40 mins.
Naps again about 2 hrs later for 40 mins.
Again 2 hrs after that! Generally this is during dd1 nursery slot & I LOVE it.
Then the past few days she's taken a long nap around 4 & woken up afte 5 & screamed. Really odd. Wondering if I should limit that nap or something, but she can't last through to bedtime without it.
Bath with dd1 at 6.30/7 & she's generally down by 7.30. She is sometimes after another feed an hour later, sometimes not.
I 'dreamfeed' her when I go to bed around 10, & she generally Wales up once after that, around 1-4.

Oh, I offer her the boob about once an hour during the day. I'd rather get as much milk in as possible then!
