Drew's Sleep Schedule

Here is the written out schedule that we had Drew on :)

SCHEDULE #1

11/22/19 First schedule

• 6-7am feed whenever she wakes up. Put her straight back down

• 9am feed, play

• 10:15am nap

• 12pm feed, play

• 1:15am nap

• 3pm feed, play

• 4:15pm nap

• 5:30pm feed, play

• 6:30pm nap

• 7:45pm bathtime

• 8:30pm feed. Bed immediately after

Notes:

• Drew was eating 3-4oz every feeding

• Seems like she does best throughout the day if you feed her before she starts crying which happens around every 2.5 hrs

• We hoped she would sleep from 10pm-3am but it was usually 10pm-2am. Then again put her back down until 6am (2 sets of 4 hours)

• Put down routine: change, feed, burp, calm (5-15 min), change, swaddle, rock, crib

• Most of her fussiness seems to be because of burp/gas

• We used normal swaddle for about 3 weeks, switched to miracle swaddle until she 3 months old

• Would try to feed her 3-4 oz every feeding (18-24oz was the range)

• Feed once at night ONLY after 2am

• Naps are 1.5-2 hours

• She was eating 4oz every feeding

• She wanted to sleep, but we tried to have her to stay awake as long as possible

• We tried to have her do 15-20 min tummy time a day- would usually do it in 5 min increments before she got fussy (would put a towel under her arms so she wasn't face down)

• After 5-6 weeks old move to 7pm bedtime
