whats your baby's routine?

Trying to get my lo into a routine he's coming up for 9 weeks so think he's ready. What's your lo routine at this age? x

I'm gonna stalk this thread, because I am asking myself the same question!

We've had a really hard time dealing with our LO's feedings, as she gets terrible reflux and takes ages to eat (but it's getting better with the addition of a little rice cereal).

And it seems now that we just can't win: We either feed her when she cries (Assuming of course nothing else is bothering her) and don't stick to 3hrs between feeds and it's endless 1/2 or 3/4 feeds, OR we wait the 3hrs and by then she can be in a real tizz, but eats properly!

What have you been doing so far bellaloo?

Oh bless her, have you looked into cranial osteopathy? I took my lo for one a couple of weeks ago as he had bad colic. Its amazing! I highly recommend you look into it. Well with my eldest I fed him 4 hour he was on 6 or so oz every 4 hours and slept through the night at 9 weeks. This lo however likes to feed little and often but as he's got a bit bigger he's starting to go 4 hourly as well now. I guess its just trial and error really! Every time I try to get him into a routine something happens. Now he's just started to sort himself out, the clocks are going back! How typical. x

No I haven't, not sure if it is available here, but will look into it, thx. Spanish pediatricians are not at all keen on prescribing anything for reflux, unless the baby is not gaining weight, so we've been hanging in there the best we could ;-)

You know, it's my first, and I too thought that I would sort of "just fall into it", but whatever we've been doing isn't working. I am now wondering if we're the problem, because we don't have a stricter routine. But the jury seems very divided on that one...
