So I haven't even attempted to get Miss Emma on a schedule nor do I want to at this point. We feel as though our life happens in the 2 1/2-3 hour increments between feedings and that's fine with us. But if I were to jot down her very flexible schedule it would look something like this.
**6-745am: wake up, 4 oz bottle
**4oz bottles every 2.5-3 hours after her first bottle. Every day is different and is determined by the time she gets up in the morning.
**After every bottle she is usually very interactive, wants to be walked around to look at things, will want to play and be entertained. This usually lasts for a good 45 minutes to an hour after every bottle and sometimes longer especially if Lily is around and doing something cool.
**After she tires of being overloaded by things to do she takes a little catnap that can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour hour. Her longest naps are for at least two hours and come an hour after she gets up in the morning and late afternoon after a feeding.
**She gets to take a bath every Wed and Sat nights.
**Her last bottle is now given to her in her room, light on and can be as early as 8 and as late as 1030. When she's done, lights go out and music goes on. We rock and cuddle for an entire music round in which she usually passes out and gets put down after music shuts off.
**Majority of our nights end there with an occasional awakening (if she eats too early at night) otherwise she sleeps until morning.
Late evening catnap
**So E, does sleep for at least 8-10 hour stretches at night without a single peep.
All the meanwhile Lily remains on her schedule and this makes for a long day and a very tired mommy.
