My little one is now 3 months and he sleeps throughout the night a whole 12 hours. Thought id share my routine for any mummys looking for tips :)

7:30am wakes and has a 6oz bottle usually finishes by 8:00am
8:00am -9:00am he likes to play. Whilst im having my breakfast.
9:00am :12:00. He will usually take a nap whilst i get all my housework, cooking etc done.
12:00 he will have another 6oz bottle i will then change him for the day and quickly have some lunch myself.
1:00pm we usually go out, run errands, go to the park or into town do some shopping visit family or friends etc. usually get back around 5ish.
5:00pm he will have another 6oz bottle finished about 5:30 and he will play or take a cat nap till 6:30 whilst i have my dinner.
6:30pm i get him ready for his bath. I bath him every night as i feel it helps him sleep better also love the smell of a clean baby haha. When out of the bath around 7:00pm i give him a little massage with baby oil as it helps relax his muscles and settle down for bed. By 7:30 he is in his pjs.
7:30pm last feed of the day a 6oz bottle and after that i lay him in his cot and read a book, although he dont understand i like doing it anyway. By 8:00pm latest he is in bed and sleeps throughout the whole night.
8:00pm have some me time!

Hope this helps remember every baby is different so may not settle into a routine just yet. Dont feel disheartened as im sure every mum is doing an amazing job :D

How odd.

I'm the opposite, more of a soft touch with dc2. He's ended up the (much) better sleeper too but I expect that's more nature than nurture.
