I know a few months down the line I may well look back and wonder why I was so confused... but right now, how the heck I fit in my baby's learning to eat into the day?! First time round I didn't have an older child to see to, and he was quite a happy baby- would really appreciate your tips!
Baby is 25 weeks and we'll be going down the BLW route again. Right now our day is:
Somewhere between 6-7am ish breastfeed while I have breakfast (she takes a sodding hour)
8am I get myself showered and ready for the day
8:30 until 9:15 school run, she naps some point during for about 45 mins
10-10:30ish breastfeed (another sodding hour) and a top and tail/bath
11:30-12:30ish nap for 2-2 and 1/2 hours. I either nap myself or do housewife stuff if at home or we're out in the buggy
2-2:30ish another soddin long feed (have to chuck her off if it leaves us late for school)
3 until 4 school run, sometimes she naps, sometimes not
5ish, feed, how long depends how well she fed before school run
After a bit of a play, if she's in a good mood and OH is home early enough for us to sit and have dinner as a family, she'll sit in the kitchen with us. If not, I hold her or attempt distraction while she screams until it's time to go up for a wash/bath and feed 5:15-6ish, in bed for somewhere between 6:30-8 depending on how long she takes to sodding feed and whether or not she's made it without the screaming. She wakes once in the night for a feed too, sometimes twice if she especially hates me that day. At the moment she doesn't seem able to stay awake much longer than 2 and a half hours without getting fractious. Help! Where do I even begin?
