![]() sometimes, if he wakes up earlier (like 5:30am), he may fall asleep after the nursing and sleep until 7:30am, which is glorious.Ħ:30am: after nursing, we play with him (we keep some toys and burp cloths by the bed for this.) this lets us rest our eyes a bit and wake up.ħ:45am: Meal #1. we bring him into bed and I side lay nurse him. again, it varies, but here’s what a ‘typical’ day looks like with Luca ( Feeding is a nursing session and Meal is a solid foods feeding): Luca’s scheduleĦ:15am: Feeding #1 – he usually wakes up around this time, standing up in his crib waiting for us. he takes 3 naps but often, he skips his last nap. generally, he’s awake for 2-3 hours and nurses every 3-4 hours. he also sleeps really well in the carrier and it’s nice to get him warm against us, it’s the sweetest feeling.Īnyway, as for his ‘schedule,’ he definitely has some repeating behavior that can be loosely interpreted as a ‘schedule’. if Lu and I want to have a full day out of running errands, having brunch, grabbing drinks with friends, etc, we’ll just pack appropriately – we’ll bring the ErgoBaby carrier so that if he’s cranky and needs to sleep (and can’t do it in the stroller), we’ll strap him into the carrier so we can enjoy ourselves. We ended that real quick by taking him out more. for example, if we went out shopping for a few hours, he wouldn’t sleep in the stroller/car seat and when we got home, despite being awake for 3-4 hours, he refused to nap. unfortunately, this resulted in Luca not doing well when we were away from home for long. There was a period in time when he was young (younger than 2-3 months) where I didn’t take him out much because it was freezing cold outside, I was adjusting to newborn life, and frankly, I preferred to be at home with all the comforts around me. ![]() if we force anything, it throws him off and he’s cranky. ![]() he runs the show and we’re fine with that – he’s happiest when he eats when he wants to eat and sleeps when he’s tired. from the moment he was born, I’ve been feeding him on demand and listening to his sleepy cues. ![]() It’s ironic that I’m writing an update on Luca and his ‘schedule’ because this baby has never been on a schedule.
