Routine for 9 week old?

6 replies

ldnstb123 · 09/03/2020 17:23

Looking for some advice please...

My baby is 9 weeks and I want to try and get her into a more solid routine, was just hoping to hear of other people's experiences and routines and what they find works for a baby around 2-3 months.

She currently goes down around 10/11pm at night when I go to bed and sometimes goes straight through til about 7am and she sometimes wakes in between for feed around 3am. She has had colic and has been quite unsettled but she seems to have gotten over it hence why I now want to try and get a real routine in place. She naps sporadically throughout the day and feeds every 4ish hours throughout the day.

Any recommendations or tips welcome

Thanks

Sounds like a very normal 9 week old.

Way too young for a routine, that starts itself more like 4-5 months. 9 weeks still tiny. Cuddle your baby and enjoy

Sorry if my reply isn't what you wanted to hear but why do you want a solid routine at that age?

I want to start getting a routine in place as every baby I've known has a routine by about now (around 3 months) Everyone is different I suppose but I'd rather try and get some sort of routine sooner rather then later

My baby is 9 weeks old. Goes to sleep same as yours and usually wakes 2.30 / 3 am then 6am. I'm breastfeeding. No other routine as my days are all different. I remember with my first routine happens by itself eventually

Blimey 9 weeks.

Just work to his/her schedule. Our little boy is between 3-4 months and only now are we seeing a pattern emerging with regards to sleep ect.

I still can't understand how people have tiny babies that sleep through the night, surely they need fed every few hours?
