Daytime Routine

I'd be lying if I said that we were on any sort of schedule during the day at this point. The little guy is still calling the shots. Sometimes he wants to eat every 2 hours on the dot. Sometimes he will go over 3 hours and I'll end up having to wake him up. However, we have fallen into a little bit of a routine--it goes a little something like this.

Eat:
Camden nurses and then takes a 2 oz bottle of formula. When he was losing weight, the doctor suggested we supplement and it seems like it is going to need to stick around. He just isn't satisfied after nursing for whatever reason. We plan to keep nursing as long as possible, getting him as much as possible--and then supplementing where needed.

Play:
This week Camden has decided that he likes to stay awake for about 30 minutes or so after he eats. He is really alert and very happy at this time. This is the best time to get smiles out of him. During this time sometimes he likes to swing...
Or read a book

Or take part in tummy time


Sleep: After about 30 minutes, Camden is ready for a nap. During his nap I pump, wash bottles/dishes, and maybe do some laundry. Typically once a day he will take a longer nap (2 hours or so). Sometimes I can even squeeze in a nap during this time.

Then he wakes up and the cycle continues!
