A Typical Day

My day starts when Baby A wakes up. Today he was up at 6:15 am.I changed his nappy and gave him his medicine and at 6:45am - his first milk feed of the day.After about an hour playing in his Swing - he slept.In the meantime i completed my morning chores of folding laundry, preparing his bottles and surfing the net/having breakfast.

Usually he sleeps for 45mts to an hour after his first feed.Before his next feed - we try and give his massage and bath.Since my mum is here she does the massage for the baby.

Most of the times he sleeps for an hour before his next feed at 11:00 am.After his second feed i take him out in his pram to shop locally or for a walk in the fresh air.

If i am lucky- he will be sleeping once i am back home and i can peacefully have my lunch.After this baby is ready for his next feed at 2 pm.I give him full bottle and then try to put him back to sleep.Sometimes i am successful and some times not.He does take a nap of 45 mts.

Otherwise he plays in his Play gym or in his swing.He does want attention all the time and would make sure he gets it. I do carry him around in every room as i do my chores.He is often fascinated by the music which i play for him on our DAB Radio.


By evening he gets restless - and is time for his feed.He gets his bottle around 6 pm.If Ashish comes back on time from office - he plays with him otherwise i try to put him back to sleep.He sleeps for an hour or so .. in the meantime we finish our dinner.We watch TV till 11 at night. He is given his last feed at 10-10:30 after which he sleeps through the night.


This schedule is followed almost everyday but there are days when schedules are thrown out of the window and i have to start all over again but so far so good.
