Day regimen in the first month. The correct daily routine for a newborn. Newborn drinking regimen

A correctly established baby's day regimen will help mom to relax and gain strength. For a child, order is also necessary for the normal development of the nervous system and all internal organs in general.

The daily routine consists in the sequential execution of actions and depends on the time of day.

• There will be a certain time for walking, sleeping, feeding. Mom will know exactly when to start cooking or when she can take some time for herself.

• Supporters of establishing a daily routine feed the child on a specific schedule. This has its advantages as well. The work of the digestive organs is not overloaded, thereby reducing the risk of developing allergies, overweight. When a mother feeds her baby on demand, the risk of overfeeding increases.
• The regime favorably affects the comfort and coziness in the family. Mom manages to pay attention not only to the child, but also to her husband and the rest of the family.

Comparative table of the daily routine of children under the age of one year.

Night feeding	1	1	–

The table clearly shows that as the child grows up, more time needs to be devoted to spending time together. The routine of basic activities at 10 months becomes close to that of adult children.

Approximate daytime schedule

The baby should sleep most of the time during the first month (about 20 hours a day). Thus, the body adapts to new conditions better. Wakefulness is associated with feeding. The diet should include only breast milk.

It should be borne in mind that children of the first days of life are difficult to teach to eat according to the regimen. They can barely keep up with the hourly interval, especially those who are breastfed.

If the baby is fed with mixtures, then the interval can be up to 3 hours. The mixture takes longer for the stomach to digest and can be accurately measured. For the first month, the baby needs about 90 ml of milk for each feeding.

Walking not only promotes healthy sleep and appetite. The sun's rays hitting the baby's skin contributes to the production of vitamin D, which is so necessary for normal development.

The schedule for the day of a three-month-old child looks something like this.

1. Sleep - at least four times, lasting about 2 hours. Towards the end of the month, the night's sleep should be up to 6 hours.
2. The interval between feedings should be about 3 hours. At night, no more than 6 hours. The diet should still consist of breast milk. Mom should not get carried away with new products so as not to cause an unwanted reaction from the baby's digestive tract.
3. Be sure to be outside. It is necessary to take into account the weather conditions, but on average they spend at least 2 hours a day.

At the age of three months, the mother develops a lactation crisis. You should not feed a three-month-old baby with mixtures and other complementary foods. You just need to wait out the period a little, and the food will be restored again. It will not work to accustom to the regime during this period.

By the fourth month, the child is already getting used to the established rules.

A night's sleep can already last about 10 hours. The baby sleeps 3 times for 2 hours a day. It should be borne in mind that at this time the first teeth begin to erupt, the child may feel physical discomfort, he becomes capricious, sleep and appetite are disturbed. The regime will go astray at this time. You should not be too strict with him at this time, you can adjust a little to his rhythms.

If the baby is breastfed, then the early introduction of complementary foods in the menu is not allowed.

The baby receives all the nutrients with mother's milk. If the baby is fed with mixtures, it is allowed to introduce a drop of juice into the diet.

The approximate daily regimen by the hour in the first months of a baby's life is clearly shown in the table.

Time	Business schedule
6.00	First breakfast, sleep
8.30-9.00	Washing. Using a cotton swab or soft towel, wipe your face with warm water, clean your nose. You can drop a saline solution if it is hot at home and there are crust in the nasal cavity. Washing the genitals in the morning is also important.
9.30	Second breakfast, most often a dream again. At this time, mom will put herself in order, gather on the street herself.
10.30	Stroll. If it is hot outside, then you cannot walk during the active sun period (from 11 to 15 hours). In this case, it will be necessary to get ready for the street a little earlier. The first walk should not last more than 15 minutes. In winter, you cannot go out with a child in the first month of his life at temperatures below -5 degrees. Walking time should be increased every day.
12.30-13.00	Lunch, sleep. At this time, mom goes about her business.
16.00-16.30	Feeding, walking again.
20.00	Feeding, communication, massage.
22.00	Bathing has a beneficial effect on healthy sleep, so this procedure is carried out in the evening.
22.30	Feeding and bedtime.

It is recommended to put a baby in the first month later than usual. Thus, you can ensure a long sleep at night. If you put your baby to bed early, for example, at 9 pm, the baby will wake up for night feeding at 2 o'clock. This time is characterized by a phase of superficial sleep, and the child may not fall asleep for a long time. If all family members go to sleep at the same time, then by the first night feeding everyone will have time to gain strength.

Artificially fed children at the age of five months are allowed to introduce puree from vegetables and fruits into their diet. After their introduction, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the child.

The menu for a six month old baby is becoming diversified. By this time, the digestive system had strengthened quite well, enzymes necessary for the digestion of complex food were produced. The diet includes cereals, mashed vegetables and fruits, curds. Each new product should be fed no earlier than 10 days.

A baby's diet at five to six months will help you see the graph.

1. First breakfast - kefir, breast milk, mixture.
2. Second breakfast - porridge, cottage cheese, natural juice.
3. Lunch - vegetable puree.
4. Dinner - kefir.
5. The second dinner is mother's milk or mixture.

At 6 months, milk is in the foreground on the menu, and complementary foods are on the second. Therefore, after each complementary feeding, it is worth giving a mixture or milk. The diet of a seven month old baby continues to expand. You can enter fermented milk products, try to feed with meat puree.

At 8-9 months, the child still sleeps three times a day, but during the waking period he actively explores the environment. The intervals between feedings become longer and go up to 5 hours.

At 9 months, the baby's diet is supplemented with fish dishes. At this time, you need to teach the child to hold the spoon on their own. Breast milk is no longer the main food on the baby's menu.

At 10 months, a table of an approximate daily routine might look like this.

Regime establishment rules

In order to develop a daily routine for breastfeeding, the mother herself needs to learn the discipline and teach other family members to it.

Schedule of accustoming the baby to the established regime.

1. Getting up after a night's sleep should be at the same time. Even if the night turned out to be sleepless, the baby could not fall asleep for a long time after feeding, he needs to be woken up for hygiene procedures.
2. You yourself need to set a convenient time for feeding, sleeping, walking, bathing, and repeat daily. In a few days, the baby will get used to such a schedule, and the mother will feel relief.
3. It is necessary to refuse feeding on a free schedule. If the child has eaten recently and again reaches with his mouth to the breast, he may just be thirsty. In this case, you can offer some water.
4. The rituals will help the child get used to the regimen faster. For example, before going to bed, you can sing songs or read rhymes; before bathing, you can walk around the room and look at objects or listen to music.

Throughout the entire time of accustoming to the regime, the mother will need to be patient, not to get angry or nervous if the child cannot get used to the routine.

On average, it takes 10-14 days to establish the daily routine.

What should a mother do if the child confuses day with night, and how to teach him to sleep continuously all night?

• A similar problem may arise due to the child's poor health (teeth teething, colic, colds). You need to see a doctor for advice on treatment.
• Dry, hot air in the room. The air temperature in the room where the child sleeps should be 20-22 degrees, humidity - no more than 70%. Before going to bed, the room must be ventilated for at least 30 minutes.

• The day needs to be filled with action. Play more, communicate with the child, do massage, gymnastics. Before going to bed, you can bathe in a large bathroom, where he will be able to actively move.
• The feeding ration must be set correctly. Breast milk or formula should be included in the menu no earlier than 10 pm, if complementary foods are introduced, then you can offer porridge for dinner.

After the birth of a child, the family's usual way of life changes. It is important not only to feed and put the baby to bed on time, but also to maintain a friendly and positive atmosphere in the family.

According to psychologists, the regime of the newborn's day, established by all the rules ... Komarovsky reminds, it is necessary to observe the hygiene of the room.

The maternity hospital is behind, but the realization that the baby was born does not come. You already love him madly and even a little afraid. This is normal. After all, this tiny defenseless lump will now forever change your usual way of life. And so that it does not turn into endless care without changing the time of day, you need to organize the daily routine for a month-old baby as soon as possible.

This is a specific routine when the baby is fed, bathed and put to bed at the same time. But pediatricians, the main specialists in children, have different opinions on this matter. Someone believes that it is better to listen to the biological clock of the baby, others strongly recommend that you immediately accustom the baby to order and strictly follow the regime. What should parents do, if even doctors are not unanimous on this issue?

Why do you need a daily regimen

Of course, ignoring the desires of the newborn will not lead to anything good, he has not yet had time to get used to the outside world, and he is already tormented by hunger and is not allowed to sleep when he wants to. But the lack of a routine will significantly complicate the care of the baby and the life of the mother herself, in which there will no longer be time for rest and household chores. We will seek a compromise!

Thematic material:

The list of basic things for a 1 month old baby includes only sleep and feeding. In between, mom needs to take care of his stay in the fresh air and carrying out hygiene procedures.

Knowing what awaits him, it will be easier for the baby to prepare for action and quickly get used to the daily rhythms.

According to psychologists, children, whose regime was organized according to all the rules, grow up calmer, more disciplined and more self-confident.

What does Newborn's Day look like?

What "rules" are we talking about, and what to do in order not to turn the education process into a constant struggle to follow the routine.

Feeding

During the first month of life, the child sleeps and eats most of the day. Therefore, because when and how much the baby eats, the sleep mode also directly depends.

Today, pediatricians are no longer so categorical in the choice of a breastfeeding system. Until recently, the well-known Komarovsky, like many of his colleagues, strongly recommended feeding the child every three hours. This is how our grandmothers raised our parents, and they raised us. For a long time they endured the hungry cries of unfortunate children, complicating their lives for the sake of the cherished "discipline".

But now more and more people talk about the benefits of breastfeeding "on demand". It implies that the baby gets food when he wants it. The number of feedings varies from 6 to 8 times during the day and 2 at night. The volume of milk also depends on the needs of the infant (50–90 ml for 1 month). Artificial children are asked to eat less often than infants, because the milk mixture is more saturated and nutritious.

A free feeding system, according to the same Komarovsky, helps to quickly establish lactation during the first month of the baby's life.

The feeding process can last from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours. It should not be interrupted until the baby has given up the bottle or breast itself.

The most common mistake moms make is overfeeding their babies. It causes colic, constipation and regurgitation. However, with experience, you can still understand whether the baby is crying from hunger or just wants to be rocked by the mother.

If the baby ate an hour ago, and then asks again, offer him water. Rather, it concerns small consumers of the mixture. Children who are breastfed, says Komarovsky, do not need to drink up to 6 months, because mother's milk already contains everything you need.

Sleep

In the first 2 weeks, the baby sleeps 18-20 hours a day. With the third, the periods of wakefulness become longer.

Doctor Komarovsky gives very useful advice on how to establish a baby's sleep schedule. First of all, he reminds, it is necessary to observe the hygiene of the room in which the newborn sleeps. Children need to breathe cool, moist air, which means - we ventilate, wash the floors, regulate the heat supply on batteries, buy a hygrometer and a humidifier. Normally, according to Komarovsky, the air temperature in the nursery should be 18-22 degrees, and the humidity 50-70%.

You also need to prepare a crib with a good firm mattress and no pillows.

Bathing

Bathing in the parent's bath in the evening is the best way to get a sound sleep. We take a hungry and tired baby, feed him to bed and put him to bed. This is what Komarovsky says. Nice recipe, now let's try it on a newborn.

How to get back from the hospital. Until that time, until the navel heals, it should be a baby bath with boiled water and decoctions of herbs (chamomile, celandine, string). The water temperature is 36-37 degrees. You can gradually reduce it, but it is better to start this hardening from the second month, newborn babies already have enough stress!

After bathing, which initially lasts about 5 minutes, it is necessary to take care of the baby's bottom (powder, diaper cream).

From 3-4 weeks you can move your baby to a large bath. For these purposes, buy special devices, for example, a circle.

It is good to carry out the procedures before the last meal, so that the bathed and tired baby can eat and go to sleep.

Walking

Fresh air is the key to health and good appetite. From 10 days old, the baby can be taken for a walk. At first, these are short "sorties" for 15 minutes, then increase them to 2 hours at normal air temperature (no higher than 30 in summer and 3 degrees in winter).

In the first weeks of life, children love to sleep on a walk. Try not to tangle your baby on the street. Modern strollers reliably protect from bad weather, and a sweating child can become seriously ill.

Approximate schedule

All children are individual, but, taking into account the average norms, you can paint an approximate daily routine for a newborn. Komarovsky cites the following table as an example:

This is in theory, but in practice it is difficult to adhere to a routine by the minute. Therefore, plan your schedule based on your child's natural routine and making minor adjustments.

The rule of three "H" from Komarovsky for a good sleep: Work up, Buy and Feed!

Someone will advise you to wake up the baby early and the schedule will shift itself. Psychologists do not recommend doing this:

• firstly, the newborn is only adapting to the world, and such an awakening will become unnecessary stress for him;
• secondly, during sleep, important processes occur in the baby's body, the interruption of which can lead to neurological problems.

It is better to listen to experts and use more "humane" methods in the fight for the regime.

Choosing a time to walk

Babies instantly fall asleep in the fresh air, which means that walking at the right time can correct their sleep patterns.

Falling asleep and waking rituals

Start each morning with a smile and a gentle tone, no matter how little you sleep at night. Then proceed with the hygiene procedures:

• wipe the eyes (from the outer edge to the inner) and the baby's face with a disc soaked in boiled water;
• check the spout and, if necessary, release it with cotton turundas;
• clean your ears every week with special stopper sticks.

In the ritual of falling asleep, you can include bathing, light massage, lullaby. By repeating these actions in one sequence every day, the baby will get used to them and will know that it is time for sleep.

Change the scenery

In the evening, dim the lights and turn on the night light. Talk to your child in a gentle, quiet tone; you can purchase a musical mobile that will set the baby in the right mood. Do not be afraid to rock the crumb. Children of the first month of life need mother's hands and gentle touches.

And remember, if the parents themselves are accustomed to living according to the order, then the little one will not resist discipline.

Instead of a conclusion

More than anything, your child needs neither food, nor sleep, and not walking for hours, but happy and rested faces of mom and dad. The first month is difficult for everyone, but mutual support and love help to overcome difficulties. And if dad is not afraid of ironing and cleaning, and mom does not turn motherhood into a feat with sleepless nights and at least tries to be friendly, a healthy and calm baby will grow up in your family.

A child's day regimen is a specific schedule of actions, made taking into account age characteristics and needs and aimed at healthy physical and intellectual development. Some mothers think that the regimen is necessary only for weakened, often ill children, but this is not so. It is necessary to accustom your baby to the daily routine from the first months of life. You should not expect that a newborn baby will fall asleep and wake up by the clock from the first days, but certain skills that will form the basis of the child's regimen at an older age can be developed already in the first month of a baby's life.

Feeding mode: hourly or on demand?

If the baby is breastfed, pediatricians advise feeding on demand. If the child is healthy, gains weight well and develops according to established norms, this regimen can be adhered to until the age of three months. If the mother continues to breastfeed the baby when he asks for it, complications in the digestive system associated with overfeeding may occur. It can be intestinal, painful cramps, upset stools, abdominal pain.

Feeding on demand has its pros and cons, so each mother must decide for herself how to organize feeding the baby in order to meet his needs and not infringe on the interests of the rest of the family.

Dr. Komarovsky about the feeding regime

Among the advantages of on-demand feeding, experts point out:

• more harmonious development of the child due to frequent and prolonged contact with the mother;
• stable (with this feeding regime, milk in the mammary glands is produced in the amount necessary to meet the needs of a particular baby);
• reducing the risk of purulent mastitis developing against the background of milk stagnation.

If the mother decides to feed the baby on demand, she should understand that such a newborn's day regimen in the first month also has significant disadvantages. One of them is the inability to leave home in the first weeks of a child's life. The organization of feeding is also of great importance: if the baby takes the breast incorrectly (captures not the areola, but only the nipple), too frequent feedings can lead to the formation of long-healing cracks, which can become infected with insufficient personal hygiene.

Bottle feeding or mixed feeding

If a newborn receives formula milk as the main or additional food, the infant should be fed according to the established schedule. Unlike breast milk, the composition, their fat content are constant indicators and do not change depending on external factors. The main difference between milk formula and is the presence of complex proteins (lactoglobulins) in the composition, which take longer to break down and digest. If the child receives a new portion of the formula before his body digests the previous food, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract may occur, for example:

• and vomiting;
• (the child cries, refuses the bottle, the abdomen is tense, soreness may occur on palpation);
• constipation (can persist up to 3 days).

Approximate feeding schedule by the hour

Parents of newborn babies who are bottle-fed or mixed feeding, when arranging meals, can adhere to the schedule given in the table.

At night, the child can wake up at any time, since the night feedings are usually established only by 2-3 months. The volume of one portion of the formula for newborns in the first month is 90 ml (from the third week of life, this volume can be increased to 120 ml). The norm for breastfed babies is a volume of 50 to 90 ml per feeding.

Important! The interval between feedings with formula should be about 3 hours, that is, the baby should be fed up to 8 times a day. Babies who are breastfed on demand can receive breast milk up to 8-10 times a day (intervals between feedings are at least 2-2.5 hours).

Night feedings

Children of the first month of life can wake up up to 3-4 times a night. If the baby is breastfeeding on demand, this number of feedings is allowed at night, but it is important to make sure that the baby does not show signs of overfeeding (profuse regurgitation after eating, swollen belly, etc.). Do not limit breastfeeding at night, since it is at this time that a woman's body produces an increased amount of hormones necessary for milk production.

Important! Newborn babies receiving formula milk should not be fed more than 1 time per night.

If the child wakes up more often, it is important to find out the reason. It can be uncomfortable clothes, cold (or, conversely, too high room temperature), dry and dusty air. usually begin at the beginning of the third week of life and can last up to 3-4 months (less often - up to six months).

To help your baby, you can use the following ways to deal with increased gas production:

• dry heat on the stomach (flannel diaper folded in several layers, ironed with an iron);
• (performed clockwise with stroking movements);
• special gymnastics (bringing the legs bent at the knees to the stomach).

If alternative methods do not help, you can use (,).

Do I need to give water when breastfeeding a newborn

Mother's milk is 87-88% water, so babies with good appetite do not need additional supplementation. Bottle-fed babies can be supplemented with water from a spoon or bottle. Its rate depends on the weight of the child, the rate of general development and other factors and can range from 30 to 70 ml per day. It is better to give bottled water specially made for baby food. You should not add sugar to it, since then the child may refuse unleavened complementary foods, for example, vegetable purees. Some children are more willing to drink heated water, but it is important to ensure that its temperature does not exceed 28 ° -30 °.

There are situations when water must be given even to newborns who feed only on breast milk:

• diseases accompanied by profuse vomiting and diarrhea (to prevent dehydration);
• too dry air in the nursery.

Important! Dangerous signs of dehydration are dry lips and occasional urination (normally, a newborn should urinate at least 8 times a day).

How much should a baby eat per feeding in the first months of life

How to teach a newborn to the regime?

It is necessary to start teaching a newborn child to a certain routine from the age of two weeks. At 2-3 weeks, the child already has certain biological rhythms that must be taken into account when drawing up a regimen. It is easiest to organize a daytime sleep during this period, since in newborn children it is usually combined with a walk.

Important! The easiest way to start accustoming a child to a daily routine is to organize a sleep routine.

Walking with a newborn can be started 3-5 days after discharge from the hospital (after the visiting nurse examines the baby and gives the necessary recommendations). It is best to go outside at the same time: during the period of morning and evening sleep. Walking in the evening is especially important for getting used to the routine: oxygenation will help your baby fall asleep faster during bedtime and provide healthier and longer sleep at night.

It is also better to put the newborn to bed at the same time. Even if the baby is naughty, you should not get him out of the crib and rock him in your arms for a long time. The sooner the child realizes that the bed is associated with sleep, the easier it will be in the future to establish the correct regime.

Pediatricians advise to follow a certain ritual before going to bed, which can be something like this:

• and evening massage (stroking, rubbing);
• dressing up in pajamas or sleeping overalls (an important step in helping to develop the habit of falling asleep in the crib faster);
• feeding and calm communication with the child;
• going to bed.

Mom can stay with the child until he falls asleep, but it is not recommended to pick up the child after he has been put to bed.

How to accustom to the regime - the opinion of the pediatrician

When a newborn appears in the house, at first the adults are quite fussy and chaotic.... But set regimen for one month old baby necessary, it will not only be useful for the baby, but also greatly facilitate the life of his parents.

The first month after birth - adaptation period not only for the baby, but for the whole family. The child learns to perceive the world around him, focusing his gaze on objects and faces, reacts by crying to stimuli, sleeps and eats a lot. Parents, in turn, comprehend the baby, try to distinguish by crying whether he is hungry, needs attention, or something hurts the baby.

The monthly baby regimen consists of three main components : sleeping, feeding and staying awake. Let's dwell on each point in more detail.

Sleep

A healthy one-month-old baby sleeps a lot both at night and during the day, waking up when he feels hungry. In the first month of life, the baby spends about 17-18 hours a day in a dream. Some children sleep more, others sleep less

Modern pediatricians no longer adhere to the principle of feeding by the clock; a breast or a bottle with a formula is offered to the baby whenever he wants. Most often, by the end of the first month of life, the interval between feeding the crumbs is 3-2.5 hours.

After feeding, the baby is awake, studying the world around him, by the end of the first month, these periods of activity can be from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the temperament and state of health of the baby.

Sleep well can interfere with the child, which appear in children 2-3 weeks of the first month of life. During colic, the baby cries, screams, twists with his legs, his stomach is swollen, gases leave. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, among the main ones are problems with the intestinal microflora of the child, non-observance of the diet by the nursing mother, improper attachment of the baby to the breast, as a result of which he swallows air.

Feeding

Fortunately, the days have passed when pediatricians branded young mothers with shame for violating the regime, and they were forced to stoically withstand the screams of their children, not taking their eyes off the clock. Feeding on demand - the trend of modern society, and this is good news. What is this feeding method? The essence of on-demand feeding is that the interval between attachments of the baby to the breast can be 2, and if the baby sleeps well or does not require breast even 4 hours, and not always the standard 3.

Of course, there are days when a child literally "hangs" on his chest and it is quite difficult to tell his mother about any observance of the regime, there would be time to go to the shower and to the toilet. It is important that such force majeure days do not become commonplace, because the reasons for the crying of a baby can be different and it is not always correct to solve them only with the help of feeding.

Wakefulness

How does the baby spend time when he is not sleeping and not eating? There are a lot of options, and their variety depends on the mood of the baby and the imagination of the parents.

During this period, the mother can carry out the necessary hygiene procedures for the child, air baths, bathing, go for a walk in the fresh air or make a trip around the apartment with a crumb in her arms, talking about what surrounds him.

15.00 Fourth feeding.

15.30-16.00 Afternoon rest. Mom also does not bother to relax with the baby.

18.00 Fifth feeding, wakefulness, communication, massage.

22.00-23.00 Sixth feeding and night sleep, during which the baby may also wake up for a meal.

Of course, this schedule is very conditional, because all children are different.

However, we are confident that adherence to the regime will help a young mother organize her day and devote more time to her beloved baby.

We are now 3 months old. No exact regime was ever established. At night, however, almost from birth the daughter wakes up at 3 and 6 (not exactly, of course, approximately), to the toilet, eat and continue to sleep. We go to bed mostly at 22-24. Now the time has begun to change a little, it happens between 4.00 and 8.00, and a week ago, two days in a row I slept all night until 7 in the morning. And it’s funny, she doesn’t even wake up completely at night, half asleep changing sliders, mother’s chest and continue to dream. But this is at night. And during the day ... During the day everything happened. In the first month, it happened to hang on my chest for hours. He will eat one, squeeze everything dry, so that mom starts screaming in pain, switches to another. While eating another, something gets in the first. She will eat the other dry again and torment the first again. And so on up to 6 switches. But this is certainly not every day. I wrote it down somewhere, but from memory it seems like the 8th day of my life, the 15th, then like another two weeks later there was a couple. It seems that these days the baby is entering a new stage. I did not interfere, I helped. And the next day, after such hovering on the breast there was already enough milk, apparently my body understood that the child was not enough, and began to produce more. My mother lamented: (I spent the first two weeks after the hospital with her) the child does not have enough food! your milk is empty! You don't eat anything, you drink only teas, milk is not fat! let me dilute the mixture and feed it! I stubbornly said that I had enough of everything and continued to drink hot, stimulating the flow, and feed. As a result, we are exclusively on GW. In the first month, they scored 1,100 for the second 1,200. For the third 800. Now we eat less often, stay awake longer, jerk our legs and arms, play with hanging rattles, try to crawl, love massage, gymnastics, swimming and walks. It still happens that she eats for a long time, and even having eaten completely one breast can ask for the second (naturally, to make it clear that she is not full, and not literally ask), but I am not worried about the regime, he will settle down someday. And how can we set the exact mode if we see a doctor today at 12, and tomorrow mom needs to go to work at 14, and the day after tomorrow is my brother's birthday at 15, and yesterday the weather was so good and we walked for 4 hours in the park and took pictures with Dad. The main thing is that the child is calm. Even if she is hungry, she can calmly tolerate, especially on the street, she likes to walk so much, both in a stroller and in a sling, that even being thoroughly hungry, she calmly endures. In a word, if trying to extract morality from everything written above, I tried to say that the regime is not the main thing, that the days are different, and even more so that our crumbs themselves often tell us the best option. Maybe a baby who does not sleep when he is supposed to really receive something less, that's why he woke up so soon? And about "like clockwork from 1 to 3", so maybe he just likes what a sleepy mom looks like?))))
