Puttin Baby On a Schedule...so Frustrated =( Posted: 09-03-04 23:00pm
Ok ya`ll I am so frustrated trying to put
kaelyn on a schedule. Right now her days
are pretty random but I am trying to get
her to have atleast some type of routine,
like get up , stay up for a lil while take
a nap, wake up for a while take another
nap then stay up and then go to sleep (she
also eats every 3 hours except when she
goes to sleep [usually by 12 am] and then
she will sleep till 7am without eating)
does anyone have any ideas on how to go
about this?? Its so frustrating bcuz she
just isn't having it lol also she is
already on 6 oz. Doc says she should be
on about 4 but she has been on 6 since
last week and she weighs 13 pounds, what
do u all think? My mom told me to bump
it down to 5 but I tried and its like
taking drugs from an addict if anyone can help
i'd appreciate it
by the way she is 8w1d

Don't wprry about it hun! I know everyone
kept telling me to put josh on a schedule,
but that is like telling the sun to quit
shining! They will sleep when they want,
and eat when they want. If you try to
keep them awake it just makes you both
miserable. Also, don't worry about the
fod! Give her as much as she wants! You
cannot limit how much your baby eats.
That is torture. She is fine. Josh was
16 pounds and 5 ounces at 2 months, and
the doctor never told me not to feed him
so much. She just told me to start him on
cereal at 3 months. Josh has been taking
6 ounces since he was about 2 months. Now
he takes 7-8 if he has no solids. But
don't worry about it hun! All I can say
is, try to wake up about the same time
every day, feed her, then play a little,
then rock her till she falls asleep.
Thats what josh does everyday! She'll get
the hang of it! Don't worry!
if anyone can help
i'd appreciate it
