Well for me ever since I went back to work last Monday full time again.. my days look like this with my 3 month old Sofia.. wake her up at 5am feeding, my dad comes to pick her up at 540am and takes care of her at my sister’s house with my 1 yr old nephew.. yep my dad is a champ! He will keep me updated he feeds her at 7am and she goes to sleep till 10am wakes up to eat again back down to sleep till 11 or 12 noon she will eat . She will be awake for 2 hours and my hubs will come pick her up at 130pm.. when he gets home with her, she eats again and down for her nap around 230pm… she will sleep for 1 hr he feeds her then back down to sleep till 430 or 5 pm.. she will be awake when I get home from work at 5 pm where I will feed her myself.. and she goes back to sleep at 7pm she will kinda cluster feed from 5pm to 7pm.. then Sofia wakes up around 830pm I feed her in the dark in the bedroom with her lullaby music on, after some cuddling she will go back to sleep at 930pm till 3am… sometimes she will wake up at 12midnight for another feeding… but overall she has slept in her crib since she was born.. we do make sure she is always warm and comfy.. I put a short sleeve onsie on her with a footie onsie on top and we have the temp in the house at 75 degrees… we live in long island NY so it is pretty cold outside. Yea I have learned from my sister and her 2 babies she has had to make sure we put Sofia in the crib from the beginning.. My sister slept with my niece till she was 1 yr old because she refused to sleep alone. Sofia’s 3 month wellness check up is coming up soon. I’m anxious to see how much she weighs especially since she is drinking breast milk from the bottle now, I can tell she isn’t exactly where she should be in terms of weight for her age, but I am trying to feed her as much as possible when I’m around. At work I pump at 7:30am, 10:45am, 1pm, and 245pm then when I get home at 5pm I immediately feed her. Hopefully my milk supply stays strong. So far that Is our routine Monday to Friday, it is a struggle with my deprivation, I go to bed or try to by 1030pm so I get sometimes 4 hrs straight of sleep until she wakes up for her feeding. It is hard to be a full time mamma with my lil one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! she is our everything! 🙂
