sample babywise schedule for 3 month old?
don_tspamme wrote:
Hi, I read the babywise book but I'm not completely sure about the nap schedule thing... I think I read that the baby needs 3 naps during the day, each 1 1/2 hours long, and to be fed every 3 hours, but I'm not sure how it works in the afternoon... my DD wakes at 7am and goes to bed at 7pm... so can anyone give me an idea of what her schedule would look like? I'm a little confused...TIA If you haven't done so already, I would recommend checking out the links at http://www.ezzo.info, especially the link on the left that says 'Voices Of Experience'.

You're probaby confused because your baby has not read any books. Trust your
instincts and forget the books because your baby knows what it needs. Let her sleep when she wants and eat when she wants. Soon, she will be forming her own routine and you can then teak it to fit the needs of the family. However, for now as a newborn, she needs to eat and sleep so she will grow. -- Sue "don_tspamme" wrote in message ups.com...

I'm a little confused...TIA Im currently TRYING to read the book and have a 3 month old. I cant seem to understand fully what to even do. My son wakes up after only 4 hours of sleep and then again 3 hours after that, then every hour!!! He goes to bed easily at 8pm then the fun begins. Im soo exhausted has well as my husband who takes over at 3am because thats when i leave for work. I think he needs longer naps. He doesnt do too well with those, and the overstimulation!? Im clueless and cant figure out a schedule for him!! The darn book doesnt say what to do if youre starting at 3 months, just what to do at newborn!! |

Im clueless and cant figure out a schedule for him!! The darn book doesnt say what to do if youre starting at 3 months, just what to do at newborn!! Please ditch that book. It is NOT a good guide. At 3 months, he may be having a growth spurt and need more feedings. It sounds like he goes to bed at 8 PM, then wakes for a feeding at midnight, which is quite reasonable. Is he getting all his burps out after that feeding? Are you breastfeeding or bottle feeding? Babies at this age may not have a *real* schedule. It's important to follow their cues. How much is he napping during the day? He may have his days and nights a bit mixed up. You may want to wake him more during the daytime hours and keep your nighttime hours less stimulating. You can try white noise or soft music. Is he co-sleeping? In a crib in your bedroom? In his own room? -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits My son sleeps in a bassinet, and tonight its going to be the crib. He is bottle fed and i even tried the cereal thing, DOESNT WORK!! I keep a fan going in our room at night so there is a constant humm. He takes about 3 naps during the day. Not good ones either, one at 10am for an hour then another one around 2pm for an hour(hopefully) and then the last one about 4ish for 30 minutes or even less. Its like a little pick me up for him then he's good again. I think u r right about the book though. I was trying to hold him off on a feeding when has only been 2 hours and he was screaming!! I fed him nows hes happy. Thanks for trying to help me |

sample babywise schedule for 3 month old?
My DS would not sleep longer than 6 or 7 hours for the first three
years of his life, so that meant we could not have an 8 or 9pm bedtime. If he went down so early, he'd be up at 2 or 3 in the morning and not fall asleep again. If your child is like this, you'll have to wait longer to put him down at night. The only way I could get a full night's sleep was to put him down at 11pm. I missed having grown-up time in the evenings, but getting some sleep was more important to me than that. For what it's worth, DS began sleeping through the night at about age four. dragon |
