I blogged about our Babywise experience with Caden and I am sharing how our experience with Babywise is going with our third baby. Here are the links to all the posts I have done in this series: Birth to 2 Weeks 3 to 6 Weeks 7 to 10 Weeks 11 to 16 Weeks 17 to 24 Weeks Schedule Jesse dropped a feeding and is now nursing 4 times in 24 hours. The transition happened at 38 weeks. He began sleeping longer for his first nap and instead of waking up at 10am woke up a 11am. Which was perfect! Because the older two are back in preschool now and his feeding/nap schedule works great for drop off and pickup! Week 25 - 37 6:30am: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 8:30am: Nap 10am: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 12pm Nap 1pm: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 2:45pm: Nap 4pm: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 6:00pm: Nap 7pm: Eat, Diaper, Back to Crib Week 38 - 40 6:50am: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 7:30am: Breakfast* 9am: Nap 11am: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 12pm: … [Read more...]
On Becoming Babywise: 3 to 6 Weeks
Josh and I decided early on before our first baby was born that we would be following the schedule outlined in On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the GIFT of Nighttime Sleep. I blogged about our Babywise experience with Caden and several weeks ago shared how our experience was going the third time using the Babywise with Jesse. While I am no expert on sleeping babies, we have used Babywise twice before and had great success. If you are curious about Babywise or are using Babywise in your own home I hope you find this post and those that follow equally as helpful. Oh, and if there are typos or run on sentences in this post, please forgive me. It has taken me over a week to type this up. #momlife #momof3 #daddywentbacktowork Schedule This is a rough outline of what our routine is during the day. Some feedings are adjusted by 30 minutes if the baby needs to be fed sooner because he is hungry. Week 3-4 7am: Eat/Waketime, Diapering 8am: Nap 9:30am: … [Read more...]
On Becoming Babywise: Birth to 2 Weeks
Josh and I decided early on before our first baby was born that we would be following the schedule outlined in On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the GIFT of Nighttime Sleep. I blogged about our Babywise experience with Caden and was shocked by the response. To date, it is one of my more popular posts. I know there are many differing opinions on this book but for us it has been one of the best decisions we have made for our family. We used Babywise with Maisie as well, but because I was dealing with postpartum depression/anxiety and going to counseling it wasn't a huge priority on my list to be blogging. I found it very helpful when we started using Babywise with Caden to read posts from other mommy bloggers who had also used Babywise with their children. While I am no expert on sleeping babies, we have used Babywise twice before and had great success. If you are curious about Babywise or are using Babywise in your own home I hope you find this post and those that … [Read more...]
On Becoming Babywise
For the next few weeks I am going to be sharing my experiences as a first time mommy and what has worked for our family during this past (very soon to be) year. Sigh. I can't believe my baby is going to be year old in June. If you are with child or looking for a baby shower gift be sure to check out my Baby Registry Must Haves. Josh and I decided early on in our pregnancy with Caden that we would be following the schedule outlined in On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the GIFT of Nighttime Sleep. We know there are many differing opinions on this book but for us it has been one of the best decisions we have made for our family. If you have never heard of Babywise take a few minutes and google the title. Bloggers and reviewers have devoted entire websites to this book, both for and against. I am not going to debate this book or tell you it is the right choice for all babies, because there is no such thing. What I am going to do is explain how this method worked for me and my … [Read more...]
