routine for 3under4

[steph1512]

hi ive just had my third dc meaning now mummy to dd3.5 dd2 2yr, and ds3wk.

just wondered if any1 has tips on surviving pretty much from dinner time until bath n bed etc??

Hello
Congratulations on your dcs. had dd 3.3 and a quarter, ds1 2.0 and new born. that bit is hard, no doubt, and sometimes you will find it really tricky but if the older ones are alrady in a good routine, it's ok. I did tea aroun 4.30, playing til 6ish and with a bit of cbeebies if necessary, then up for bath and bed. bath only every other night and everyone lights out by 7. i fed the baby whilst doing the stories. in the summer it's better if you can get them outide between tea dna bath. good luck! mine now 5,4 and 2 and it's a breeze now!

Watching with interest and mild panic (dd 3.5, ds 2, due no.3 next month)

well my older two are in a good routine in bed between 630-7 everynight..a must for me i need my me time.

am finding at the mo that bath time thoru to bedtime seems to be ds's choice holding time lol. so might be a bit of a struggle for a while when dh back at work.

At the mo i have also done a few nights bf with a dd ither side while i read their bedtime story.

poguemahone please dont panic..i did at when i was preg but really no need im absolutely loving having three dispite being tired and its hard work at time so far the positives far out weigh the rest.

Im even starting tothink 4seems like the magic number lol...that must be the hormones thou as i know this has to be my last so making the most of him

Gin!

Thanks Steph!
