We started his routine about 4 or 5 weeks I think. Would have started sooner but was away in Scotland and just didn't quite get around to it but it goes like this:

7pm upstairs get bath ready then 7.05ish bath time
7.15 feed on the sofa in his room with lights off and just lamp on
7.50ish or whenever he finishes feeding, wind him then into bed still awake, kiss goodnight then lamp off and leave the room
10 minutes after that he's sleeping

He's currently waking between 12 and 1 ish, then about 3-4ish. He doesn't sem to have much at the last feed (so hoping he might drop it soon) and then he wakes for the day anywhere between 5.30am and 7am although I leave it as close to 7am as I can before getting him up. Today he was still happy in his cot at 7 but I got him up to feed him anyway as I want him to get used to feeding at 7. Even if I get up with him at 6 I still wait til 7 to feed him.

Sorry for long post but hope that helps!!!

Thank you very much it does help cos we were wondering when we should start a routine and when to do it?

So what do you do if A isnt awake when it comes to bath time?

I dont know if Elliot would last from 7.30ish till 12-1ish for a feed, but its worth a shot.

Elliot just had another stinky poop lol thankfully OH did this one

Wake him up!! If he's sleeping I will pick him up from wherever he is about 10 to 7 so he's disturbed and wakes up. Means I get 10 mins cuddles too but to be honest he's normally awake and a bit cranky by that time anyway.

If he doesn't go that long before needing a feed I just feed him sooner. He's only been waking at those times for a couple of weeks, but I just feed him whenever he wakes and needs it.

We took D back to the docs this morning as his eczema was getting worse. We have been given steroidal/antibiotic cream and some antihistamine medicine - he is like a new baby - no scratching or itching and shed loads of smiling, giggling and rolling around :T

So glad David's eczema has eased. Steroid cream was a godsend for Alex. Still tries to scratch his head to death, mostly when tired - his brother has always done this when tired too. And if you take his vest and nappy off he really scratches were the nappies been fastened. I just have to keep slathering him in the various creams.

Anyone use Goodnight milk? Is it the same to follow on milk as hungry baby is to stage 1 formula IYKWIM?

Answered by Sami and MFD. Alex would not entertain the HiPP one, but lurrves the C&G one. I think you get a Hipp satchet if you sign up to the Hipp website.
May be worth trying one of those, so you don't waste your money, like I did :cool:.

Another thought, I was of the thinking that if you give his last feed and put him to bed at the same time every night that he will settle into his own routine. That's my plan for the days by always starting the day with a 7am feed.

Speaking of feeding - we decided pizza hut was a better idea than the sausages! Oops. Just waiting for it to be delivered. Hope it's soon cos I'm starving.

Cos I use goodnight milk and it is the same as putting rusk in B's bottle :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just check Bizzie Baby and the review still hasn't been posted - maybe others didn't want to review it either.

LOL - Benjamin was doing loads of walking this evening!! I knew if I moaned about him not being bothered on here he would change his ways (I am sure he reads and then does the opposite!).

:eek:So did Kai....He didn't do too much through the day, but after dinner he wouldn't sit down:)

MFD - no real issues getting the boobages out in public and I did go to one bf clinic and fed with no issue but they supplied a pillow.

Thanks for all the other replies too, it's good to know it will get easier when she can support her own head. Just tried expressing again and think I got the same amount down me as went in the bottle! Not sure my pump is any better than hand expressing to be honest. At this rate i think am gonna have to freeze it so I have it when it's needed. Don't think it helped I was stressing at OH tho as he was being distracted by footie instead of trying to calm down a whingy Tahlie.

Yeay for a London meet have no idea where everyone is tho to make a suggestion for location tho!

Always - hate finding funeral outfits it's so not what you need to be worrying about at a time like that! Yeay for fairies will keep an eye out for them oh and if we do meet up somewhere I could always pick you up if your on route, I remember we have the same pushchair so will be fine to fit both in the boot.
