What is your routine?

Question

So I’m really bad at trying to keep a routine for my baby. His schedule is all over the place bc I’m all over the place lol.  Mentally not physically. Any tips?

Answer

Get yourself into a morning routine, and evening routine and go from there

Answer

I think starting with a bedtime routine is the easiest. We don’t have a strict feed/sleep schedule, we just go off his cues. He goes to bed about 2.5-3hrs after his last nap (but recently he has been refusing the last nap so bedtime has been 5:30 on those days). Our routine starts with a bath, lotion/diaper/jammies, bottle, book, sound machine on, sleep sack, then I rock him for maybe 2mins and put him down in his crib. Overall the bedtime routine is 20ish minutes. Once you have a bedtime routine established start with a nap routine. Ours is similar to bedtime but just no bath or bottle. 
As far as other parts of the day we don’t have a set routine. He wakes up anywhere from 6-7 and base the rest of the day off of that with wake windows around 2.5hrs. We started solids about a month ago so that helps to fill in the wake windows. We used to go for walks outside but now it is too cold. So now we just dance/sing and play with toys as well as look out the window and open/close drawers and cabinets which he seems to find fascinating lol. 
However you mentioned your mental state, I don’t know what is going on but be wary of making a schedule and trying to stick to it. With my anxiety I tried super hard to make a strict feed/sleep schedule when he was born and it ended up stressing me out more. It was hard to let go of that control and go with the flow but overall just following his cues/wake windows is so much easier for me.
