I still havent really got the baby in any real routine and I dont know if thats ok or not. I know that kids thrive very well on routines and I am not sure if he already really needs one, and i am denying him that. He wakes up around the same time every morning, but sleeps with me so if i get up earlier he will usually too. He goes to daycare every day at about 9 and comes home at 1:30 and one day a week at 4. He usually sleeps at daycare and has a fruit at 9 and a veg at 12:30 and his bottle. When he comes home in the afternoon he usually falls asleep again anywhere between 2 and 5 pm. I bathe him around 7 ,but sometimes we skip a bath. He eats some dinner at about 6 but then when we sit down to dinner at 7:30/8 he wants to be included and eat again.
I usually go to sleep around 10:30 and he sleeps with me, but he sometimes falls asleep at 9 in the stroller.
Do you think its important I start a strict routine in the evenings, dinner and bath at the same times, and then going down in the stroller at the same time?
I know I have to move him to a crib, I have mixed feelings about this though DH feels its really time, I love sleeping with him but I know that he needs to sleep on his own too, especially before another baby comes along, and I know that DH deserves some time with me too.
SIGH.............. feel a bit stuck........
