Anyone have a daytime routine for baby?

Anyone have a daytime routine for baby?

one of my friends told me that "Happiest Baby on the Block" recommends a routine during the day. I've been busy working on a night routine for my son - no nap after 6, then at 8:30ish - bath, dress him for bed, read 1-2 books, feed him, then bed. I haven't tried to implement a daytime routine. I let my son nap when he wants, eat when he wants, etc. Do you have a regular routing during the day that you try to stick to? I'm just curious if most people do and if they find it easier to have a night routine with a day routine.

I didn't try to create a routine for either of mine when they were babies. I did like you do/did. And in both cases, a routine emerged all on its own within a couple of months. Learn to read your baby's cues, and follow them, and you will hopefully get into a daily pattern. If I had to put a month on it, I'd say that by 4 months she had set a pretty steady routine. If you begin to see a pattern emerge, then go with it. For example, if for a couple days in a row you see him get sleepy btw 10 and 10:30, then try and see if he'll fall asleep the next day even if he doesn't appear tired yet. And be flexible. In the first few months, their needs and patterns change frequently. For example, my 6 month old is kinda between taking 2 and 3 naps during the day. I have to play it by ear until I see a definite pattern emerge.
