Answer

I have a colic baby and a 21 month old.... There is no routine 🤣 It's purely survival.

Answer

Yours goes an hour after waking without needing to eat?? I swear mine wakes up expecting a bottle to be in his mouth lol

Answer

Whoa! I wish I had a routine like this! My son will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Only in the last 2 days has he let me put him down for a handful of moments while he is awake. He usually doesn’t nap much once I put him in bed either. He constantly needs to be carried. I tried a carrier but he only enjoys it if I am moving nonstop, so using it to hold him while I do dishes doesn’t work. 
8:30pm: we head up to bed
9:00: feed 
9:30: change diaper
10:00: feed
10:30: all attempts to get him to sleep, which usually include some combination of walking, bouncing in arms and swaying at the same time
2:00am: wake and feed
2:30: changing
3:00am: feed
3:30am: attempt to put down again using my combination of circus act performances 😂
4:00: usually down
6:00am: feed cycle all over again
9:00am-10:00: we usually get up for the day. Then it’s feed, diaper, tummy time, activity gym, feed
12:30pm: hopefully he takes a nap. If not, it’s the feed, diaper, activity, feed cycle. He falls asleep on me for little bits at a time while this is happening but he usually doesn’t stay asleep when I got to put him down. 
3:00-4:00pm: depending on his nap, we go walk a couple miles
Diaper
Feed
Bath around 6:30-7
Feed
Hopefully he goes to sleep for a little but if not, my husband and I take turns holding him while one eats dinner... like Corey said, it’s more about survival. I’d take your routine in a heartbeat! Sounds like you’ve got an easy one.

Answer

Its is completely up to her and my 3 year old. We generally wake up, feed, 3 year old comes in, I pump, get 3 year old, feed again and off to daycare. Than the rest if the day I take cue from the baby and do any appointments I might have. 
Around 4 I pick up the 3 year old, get home, feed, play, feed, bed and pump.

Answer

I follow this almost exactly

Answer

Hmm... We are very much baby led and following his cues... My day goes something like this...
Between 5 and 7 am Wake up
Feed
Attempt to put in swing. If successful, get dressed, make and have breakfast and a coffee. If very successful have a shower (rare!) 
Sit on my lap while I watch TV (lol just being honest right?!) 
10am (give or take an hour) 
Feed
If I have plans to go to a baby class or out somewhere I will time feed to start 45 mins before going out. Go out most days. 
Baby then naps in car seat and unless it's a class I'll let him stay asleep in car seat and pop it on my pushchair frame 
If not going out, let baby sleep on my lap, or if he won't then pop baby in sling to nap on me that way (hates being put down for day naps) nap for 2 hours ish
12 try and eat lunch if baby in sling
1pm ish 
Feed
Play time either on mat, with a book, looking at things, explore new skills like grasping stuff etc
Go out for a walk if haven't been out in the morning let baby sleep while out. If shit night sleep night before get grandma round to sit with him while I go to bed
4pm ish
Feed
Watch clock and count down time for husband to be home
5pm - 10pm
Cluster feed, cry, have intension to bath baby but usually don't get round to it, cry some more, threaten to give up breastfeeding, palm baby off to husband and insist breasts are on strike give baby a bottle if hungry, take it in turns to eat dinner cold and quickly. 
10pm ish 
Feed
Put baby down in side sleeping cot and spend the next 2-3 hours desparately getting him to sleep with an unending cycle of soothe, cry, shart, nappy, feed, soothe. 
Feed in the night around 2am and 5am

Answer

Usually up by 6:30/7:30
Diaper & Feed then walk around outside casually
Nap 8:30
Wakes up around 10ish and the rest of the day is a gamble! Feed/play/stroller walk/tummy time/chores while wearing/bouncer while I workout/more naps but not a set time... etc
Wind down around 8 with soft music & low lights. Feed & diaper then bath & lotion. Trying to read.
Feed for bed around 9ish or so.... usually asleep by 10
Wakes up just once mostly but varies between 1-4 time frame. Lately been a 5-7 hour stretch and I just do a dream feed no diaper change

Answer

They let you nap & have a bath?
My routine is my 2 year old n 2 month old wake me up at 9. Feed try to go back to sleep. Then lunch time feed & play if baby is awake otherwise it's feed/play/ entertain toddler/ nap. Somehow find time for dishes & making dinner... It was so much easier with 1, but I'm ready for the days of them being more independent. Then it will be fun.
