I have a 9 week old EFB baby girl. This is a typical day if we don't leave the house:

  • 5am wakes, feeds and straight back to sleep
  • 8am wakes, feeds and watches me have shower. Then I dress her. Sometimes play a little.
  • 10am Feeds till drowsy then sleeps in sling, I do housework.
  • 11am Wakes, feeds and play. If we go out at all it's usually at this time of day.
  • 12.30 Feeds till drowsy and sleeps in my arms.
  • 2pm wakes, feeds, plays for a bit
  • 3.30pm Feeds till drowsy and then sleeps in sling (my partner comes home at 4.30 and we eat dinner hopefully with baby still in sling)
  • 5.30pm wakes, feeds, plays a bit
  • 6.30 grizzly hour commences of generally not being that happy but not wanting to feed or sleep.
  • 7.30 Bath and into sleeping bag
  • 8.30 feed in dimly lit room and put to bed.
  • Sleeps roughly 8-9 hours

All the times are estimate and based on memory (I really should write it as I go)... But does this look normal? And must add that I haven't enforced this routine, she's just done it herself. The only thing I really do is make sure she falls asleep when I can tell she's tired with the help of a dummy and rocking/sling.

She never naps in her crib during the day but sleeps beautifully at night (touch wood!!)

What is your 9 week old's routine??

sleepy how old is your baby?
If still really young or going though a growth spurt that could explain why she wakes so much. If you're jumping up to her at the slightest noise maybe you should try and hold back for a few seconds to see if she'll settle down on her own. Or you could get a soother toy which you put in her cot/Moses basket and try switching that on when she first wakes to see if that sends her to sleep rather than a feed.

She is 8 weeks but was a week early. The main problem is me not her! Last night she was fine in the crib from 11pm till 1pm just small grizzly noises but not full on crying but my boob was getting solid and I wasn't asleep so I went and got her to feed her and then let her fall asleep or I fell asleep with me for he rest of the night. I must be strong!
