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
