I can't believe how silly I was. My baby has a routine since coming home from the hospital. At 4 PM, we go for a walk, and he sleeps the whole time until 7 PM. At 7 PM, he wakes up, plays until 8 PM, and then sleeps from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. At 9:30 PM, he wakes up, we bathe him at 9:45 PM, and by 10:15 PM, everyone is asleep for the night. He doesn't wake up during the night. He starts stirring around 4 AM, I feed him, and he sleeps until 8 AM. At 8 AM, he wakes up, and we do our routine: wash up, change his diaper, feed him, and he falls asleep until 11 AM. At 11 AM, we wake up, play until 1 PM, and then nap from 1 PM to 3 PM. At 3 PM, he wakes up, plays until 4 PM, and then naps during our walk at 4 PM. And I'm the silly one. Yesterday, I decided: I don't want to wake him up. My husband was tired, I was tired, so we turned off the lights. At 8:30 PM, we decided to just go to bed and skip his bath. Little did we know, he slept through his usual wake-up time, got all energized, and our routine was messed up. He still woke up around 11 PM, and I barely got him back to sleep by midnight. Then, the real challenge began at 3 AM: he woke up every hour, was fussy, and nothing seemed to please him. Yep, I was silly.
What specific schedule?

Their routine will change anyway. With enviable regularity. You just get used to one thing and bam… my sister told me about this all the time))) She has a little daughter. She's just accepted it.
And you can always try again, the old way. Maybe it'll work out)

I decided to take my little one for a walk at 5 instead of our usual 3. He screamed the whole way, and we ended up coming home. We sure got our walk in!

FoXy It doesn't matter how long you walk him, he just falls asleep as soon as you go outside.

FoXy That's pretty much how it was for us too, but then something must have started changing here 😒

FoXy I'm afraid the routine will go out the window by 3 months.

Until 3 months, babies only have a feeding schedule, and even then, only those on formula. What kind of schedule can there be if a baby sleeps 20 hours a day???

Tatyana K Strangely enough, for all 7 weeks, we could set our watches by him. And yes, he's on formula.
