I have experimented with a couple of routines, mish mashing suggestions and advice from several parenting resources. But in the world of babies, you can never be 100% planned and organized. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
So I wanted to record here, a typical day with Kayden at his 6 months mark. Bearing in mind, he is now teething and had an eczema flare a week ago and hence is currently on oral antibiotics, my poor baby.
7.00am : Kayden wakes briefly to call out for a feed, then goes straight back to sleep once again. Usually a nappy change at this time as well.
10.30am : Wakes up for another feed and is up and awake.
Noon : Lunchtime, wash up and nappy change.
1.00 pm : Back to bed for his afternoon nap. But it takes him quite a while to settle down for his nap. Dozes off about 1.30pm and usually sleeps for about an hour.
2.30 pm : Awake and up. I give him abit of tummy time on his playmat or he sits in his bouncer for a bit.
3.00pm : Feed
3.30pm : Out for a walk
4.30pm : Nappy change and he might go for another nap.
5.30pm : Wakes up and a quick feed
6:00pm : Dinnertime
6.30pm : Bathtime
7.00pm : Bedtime
10pm : Dreamfeed
I am currently weaning him off his middle of the night feeds which he wakes up between 3am to 4am. When he cries out, I usually pop his dummy back in his mouth and most of the times now, he goes straight back to sleep.
Trying to wean him off breastmilk however, isn't going as smoothly! I am still feeding him almost as much as before! Other than for his dreamfeed in the evening, this stubborn child refuses the bottle flat out whenever I offer it to him and just screams until he gets me!
Score : Kayden wins 17, Mommy 0
