Do YOU need routine and structure more than your baby?

This is such a common issue I get asked about. Some babies just don’t need or in-fact want a routine! They just want to go day by day. This is obviously unpredictable and uncertainty can be really hard for some parents who want a routine and that consistency every day.

There are some gentle ways to create a bit more structure for you!

Start your day at the same time each day and have consistent meal times. Both of these work alongside our body clock. Go for a daily walk around the same time each day- this can be useful for achieving that 3rd nap of the day and also release some of that sleep pressure before bedtime. Don’t stress too much about achieving a nap if your little one isn’t feeling it. Use a sling or pushchair to give your little one an opportunity to nap if they need to.
