i have no idea where to start!
« on: July 13, 2008, 19:45:37 pm »
My lo is almost 4 weeks old and I really want to put him on a Schedule.. But how do I start? I do have Tracy's books but i'm still at a loss trying to figure out how to set up a schedule. My lo does sleep about 4-5 hours a night with waking up once or twice but it's the daytime I need to figure out.. He almost never naps when he needs to and he wants to eat constantly.. I know that he's OT and doesn't know what he wants. How do i fix this!?

At such a young age you are not going to get your lo following an exact EASY, but it is more about teaching them the concept of EASY, i.e. when to eat, A time and sleep time.

At this age, your lo would have minimal activiy time, so would basically eat, have a nappy change and wind as A time, and then settle down for a nap.

Are you BF or Formula feeding?

Do you Swaddle?  Do you have a windown routine?  Do you have any white noise in the room?

Sorry for all the q's, it is just so that we can help you get on track  :-*
