2 babies- Tenley 3 months & Michael 16 months. At this point both require individual attention and lots of it! I have come up with a routine that gets us through the day and keeps both babies clean, fed, napped, and happy :)If anyone comes across this blog, hope it helps!
6:45 am- Tenley and I up. Tenley immediate bottle while I drink my coffee. Follow with playtime.
8:00 am- Tenley back to bed. Shower, dressed, and breakfast for me. Free time until someone wakes up. Take out something for dinner.
9:30 am- Michael usually up around this time (do not let sleep past 10). Immediate cup of milk and breakfast.
10:00 am- Wake Tenley for bottle. Dress kids. Vacuum. Playtime/tv time, park, errands, etc...
11:30 am- Tenley nap. Michael gets small snack. (It's ok to still be out or go out. Baby will sleep in carseat and snacks are portable). On Monday & Wednesday this is when we do crafts.
1:00 pm- Michael lunch & juice/water.
1:30 pm- Wake Tenley for bottle.
2:00 pm- Michael nap.
2:30 pm- Tenley nap. Lunch for me while both are napping. I may nap or straighten house.
4:00 pm- Michael up and give small snack & milk (fill with water after for extra fluids).
4:30 pm- Dad's home= playtime with dad!
5:00 pm- Wake Tenley for bottle. If up earlier try and hold out until 5 for bottle. Start getting dinner ready accordingly for 6:30 dinner.
6:00 pm- Try and get Tenley to nap.
6:30 pm- Dinner.
7:00 pm- Baths.
7:30 pm- Michael gets cup of milk and stories. Other parent clean kitchen if tenley is sitting quiet.
8:00 pm- Michael bed. Tenley bottle. Bed for the night for her once she is tired. Mike and I both straighten house up. TV time for us then bed whenever (usually 10)!
***This is more of a routine than a schedule. We know babies do not always sleep as long as we'd like or eat when we want them to. As long as you are a bit flexible, things shall go smoothly.
