Since mommy hood I have learned I am very much Type A personality. Yes, I am still crazy about Avah's daily routine...getting things done around the house during naps & still trying to maintain a some what clean home. If something is on my mind I have to make a list and GET IT DONE. :) So, her routine is very important to me...
Whenever she wakes she usually eats..here lately she has wanted to wait at least an hour. After eating she plays and then she always has her morning nap. This is usually between 9-10am. After her second feeding she has her rice cereal. I like the eat-play-sleep method so that is what Ive tried enforcing all day. Of course there are still those times her entire day isn't like that. She takes 2 more naps during the day. These can be a different times but usually 1ish and 3ish. Around 6pm she has another tbl spoon of rice cereal with a tsp of mixed sweet pot, takes her bath, nurses and then shes out by 7/8pm. I have exclusively breastfed 99.9% of the time and having her on a routine was kind of calming. I needed to know everyday when I would have "my" time to be productive, get things accomplished and recharge mentally. haha! In our home we dont use the cry it out method and yes I fed her on demand in the beginning. This is just what works/ed for us. Gradually we both just eased in to this routine and it has worked marvelously. :) Now if we are out to dinner and its 7pm Avah is falling asleep. It doesnt matter where she is her body tells her its time to sleeeeeep....
