yes please tell me your experiences with either having a routine or not having one
good or bad welcome

well dd is now 6 months and up until now has had no routine,has been bf on demand and ive just started her onto food for about a week
she is very bright happy and in 6 months has only had 2 days of the sniffles, so has been very healthy,she also sleep for a good 12-14 hours at night.we do cuddle her to sleep
however doesnt really nap in the day

now 66 is 6 months im wondering if i should think about doing more of a routine with her
because i guess we are working towards three meals a day, and it would be good if dd had at least one nap in the day
although she doesnt really get moody so maybe she gets all she needs with 14 hours at night,although doesnt seem much for a 6.5 month old

do any of you put your dc into there grobags in the day to encourage napping

so im trying to decide,should i go for a routine or not?

Habits shmabits. Spent the first 6 months of babyHab's life worrying about bfing her to sleep, despite the fact that she slept 10-7, and I heard her wake up and go back to sleep many times. Then she stopped bfing to sleep all by herself and teething happened... I reckon anything is fixable - stick with what works until it stops working, at least while she's so little. You won't regret all the cuddling. BabyHab was for some reason all sad tonight, so I cuddled her to sleep and it was lovely for both of us.

"anything is fixable and stick with what works till it stops working
