What about Day Schedule for a Baby?

It may seem strange, but lots of baby’s skills, so important for him to be raised properly and his personality to be rightly formed, are being developed form the first days of life. Following the day schedule and daily routine are one of these qualities. Daily routine of most babies can be disrupted; they don’t distinguish between times of the day and easily mix updays and nights. 

As for feedings, it also requires your parenting impact. The baby might want to eat whenever he wants to, he can start acting up, crying and demanding attention. It is important in such cases to gradually accustom him to day schedule and specific meal times. Thus you will greatly simplify your life and teach your baby about order and discipline. Of course, this process requires patience and time; it will be difficult for your baby to understand what you want from him and why you don’t feed him. He can start misbehaving and crying and you should entertain him in such moments. You can play with him, try to cheer him up, give him his favorite toy or just talk to him. Eventually, the baby will get used to the fact that it is necessary to eat at certain times, but not when he wants to.

The same situation is with your baby's sleep. Accustom your baby to sleepand waking schedule gradually with patience and gentle persistence. People must sleep at night – we all know this rule and your baby should know it as well. Accustom your baby to sleep at night and to be awake in the daytime – play with him during the waking hours, try to entertain him, talk to him. Gradually, your parenting measures will reach the consciousness of your baby and he will enter normal rhythm of life.
