![]() ![]() Activities for newborns can be as basic as cooing, staring at a toy, diaper changes, singing lullabies, bath time, and hanging out with visitors. This may be especially hard to do for the super noobie babies but as they hit the 1-month mark, it’ll be easier to keep them awake for a short time before napping. ![]() A is for ActivityĪfter eating, try to encourage your little one into some activity time before falling asleep. Take a look at Hogg’s Feeding Guide for an idea of how much to feed at each age. It’s a quickie post with some extra tips that may help when EASY gets a little overwhelming. Just try and keep with a predictable E-A-S-Y pattern, and you will be ok!Īnd just to drive that point home… here is my post When E-A-S-Y is Not So Easy. Trust me when I say that you will probably never have an identical EASY routine. If you get too Type-A psycho on the time slots, you will drive yourself crazy. It’s a great free printable you can keep referencing as your little one gets older!Īnd one really important note: Take this as a loosely designed routine, but one that you need to adapt and shape to work with your noob. And I’ve also created an EASY Cheat Sheet that includes 4 side-by-side schedule samples that range from 4 weeks to 1 year. Also check out the EASY for 4-9 month olds. In this post, I’ll share what I learned from Hogg’s book about getting a 1-4 month old on an E-A-S-Y routine. Sure I was keeping logs of when I was feeding her and when she was pooping, but I certainly didn’t realize that her eating, then staring at visitors, and finally napping in her bouncy seat was a baby routine in itself starting to emerge.Īfter reading Tracy Hogg’s book, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, it finally dawned on me that having Noob Baby on a routine would help me figure out why she was crying and prevent her “unexplained” fussiness! A routine would be an indicator of what she would want and need next. ![]() I was so go-go-go, that I didn’t realize I could take control of our day and actually start carving out a routine. I was so enamored with this 24/7 pooping machine, that when she was asleep, I just ogled and cudded her, ignoring all advice to SLEEP! Truth betold, I tried to sleep when she was sleeping, but then this madness descended … and I felt like I had to clean, had to do the laundry, and whatever other domestic task Martha Stewart would be proud of. Well when the Noob Baby invasion was finally upon us, all wisdom and logic went out the window. I remember so many people telling me to “ sleep when the baby sleeps.” At the time, it sounded like a no-brainer. There are so many things I wish I had known right after having Noob Baby. ![]()
