Long but so worht the read and just a suggestion.

When I had my son, first child, I was up at all hours of the night with him for months and months. When I got pregnant with my daughter, my second pregnancy, I read an article about getting a baby on a routine at night time for bedtime. I told my husband I was gonna try it , he looked at me and said, there's no way you can get a baby on a schedule, they make their own schedules and we follow it. From the day we brought her home from the hospital, at night time, before the first time to sleep at night, I would feed her, then wipe her down (since she still had an umbilical cord) then wait 30 mins then make like an ounce of food, feed her again and I would put her down. Of course, being a newborn they wake up at all hours of the night, but every night I did this with her. Once her umbilical cord fell off, I would give her the bottle, give her a bath, do all the lotion and etc, feed her a little bit more and put her down for bed. At one month she was waking up maybe 2 times a night. At 2 months, she started sleeping all through the night. I would have her on such a routine she would start getting fussy around the time she was suppose to get her bath and wouldn't calm down until she got her bath. So, when we had our third daughter, I did the same thing, and she did the exact same thing as our 2nd daughter. It made things soo much easier. I don't remember being the "zombie" mother that everyone says you will be because they did fantastic with the routine. It amazed me at such a young age they knew what the routine was. Just a suggestion for everyone.
