Mom's of 3 month old's

Is your DC on a set schedule yet?

DD is now sleeping through the night (yay!), but the amount of time she sleeps will still vary. Some nights she goes 6.5 hours, some nights she goes 8 hours. So, therefore, the time she gets up in the morning and gets her first bottle varies. Which means, the times she gets her bottles during the day varies.

I'm just wondering if there is a way I can start getting her on some type of more consistent schedule...

DS is on a pretty good schedule, although since I went back to work its slightly out of wack!

In the Am his bottle times vary, but somehow they seem to work their way out by evening. He gets his first bottle generally between 8:30 and 10 and then every 3 hours. Although around 3ish he tends to push it longer. His last bottle is around 8:30 and he is in bed at 9:30/9:45 and sleeps generally about 10-11 hours. Occassionally he wakes up (he has been fighting a cold) around 5 or 6 takes a bottle and then goes back to bed for 3 hours.

I consider him on a schedule because I feel he is more predictable now. But the schedule does vary somewhat.

Not really. At night DD goes down between 10:30 and 1:00. She gets up between 5:00 and 8:00. Most days she goes back to sleep after eating until @ 11:00 AM, and then she is up until 2, goes back to sleep and gets up anytime randomly after 4 and stays awake until bedtime.

On a mall walk day though she will fall asleep on the way to the mall (@ 12:30) and usually doesn't wake until we get home around 5PM.

On the days that I work, she sleeps on the drive to my mom's, then wakes up when we get there and doesn't sleep the whole day. Those are also the days that she has to be woken up in the morning and doesn't wake on her own.

schedule what's that My ds goes to bed between 2am and 4am The longest he will go is 5 hours between feedings. And even then he fusses and I have to rock him back to sleep.
