I just tried not to do this too frequently that it would become a new habit to eat right before a nap.įrom 10-13 weeks our daughter essentially repeated a feed-wake-sleep cycle 4 times, which means that she had 4 naps each day. If I let her be awake I then ended up feeding her just before putting her down again for the next nap in hopes that it would then be a very long nap. If she woke earlier than a half hour or so I either tried to help soothe her back to sleep or I just let her be awake. If she woke only about a half hour early I would often feed her as soon as she woke, keep her wake time about the same length as usual and put her down early for the next nap in hopes that she would add time to that nap. Sometimes she woke from a poop that caused her pain, sometimes from hunger because she didn’t eat well before the nap, or sometimes for no reason that I could really determine except that her sleep was interrupted. Our daughter still fought going down for naps during her third month (though not near as badly as the first two months) and she still often woke early. This was the general Babywise 3 month old schedule that we tried to follow, but as all things with very young babies, it often didn’t go as planned.

She would often drink 3 ounces or so (enough to take the edge off of her hunger) and then I would spend the rest of her wake time slowly trying to get the full bottle into her so she could sleep well for her next nap. The transition from nursing to bottle feeding really didn’t have much effect on her 3 month old schedule except that with the bottle it sometimes became more difficult to get a feeding into her in one sitting right at feeding time.

As soon as she accepted the bottle we moved her to it exclusively while we gradually weaned her from breast milk and I pumped until my supply was done. You will see on her 3 month old baby feeding frequency below that we also transitioned our daughter from nursing to taking pumped milk or formula from a bottle during this time period. It’s simply the way that worked for us to to help our babies learn to sleep well and to structure their feeding, activity, and sleep time.įor anyone who is implementing Babywise schedules or wants to structure their 3 month old baby feeding frequency and sleeping times, below is the 3 month old schedule that our second daughter generally followed.

(If it’s not your thing but you’re realizing that you need help getting your baby to sleep you can get a free sleep assessment herefrom infant and child sleep consultant Dana Obleman.) I’m not here to say that babywise is for everyone. I know not everyone agrees with Babywise and that it’s not the right fit for every family. We built both of our daughters’ schedules through infancy and trained their sleep habits around the principals in the Babywise book. (Note: This post contains affiliate links which means that I make a commission if you purchase through one of my links – at no additional expense to you! Read my full disclosure here.) You can read the details of that schedule here. Her schedule didn’t really shift until she turned 10 weeks old so I’ve included the details of her ninth week with her 2 month schedule breakdown.

This Babywise 3 month schedule sample starts at week 10 even though our daughter’s third month actually started at about week 9. 3 Month Old Schedule Sample: Weeks 10-13 Daily Routine
