My 4th baby has been very fly by day and not scheduled. Now that Pesach is over I am ready to have a routine with her.
I want it to be:
Wake up 7-730 and she is still nursing so nurse then.
9 - breakfast
10- nap in the CRIB *shes been in the stroller for her naps and my bed at night
1100-1130 wake up nurse again
12 lunch
1-130 back to nap
230 wake up play and nurse
4 - dinner
5 - bath
7 bed time in crib

As today is day of implementing this and before she has been eating her meals at random times (solids I mean - nursing shes been consistent at every 3-4 hours) napping 3 times a day for short periods in the stroller and nights in my bed nursing whenever I dont even look at the clock, I just followed what I tought should be our morning routine and put her in the crib and she's hysterical crying.
I am ok with letting her cry. I know it takes 2-3 days to form a new habit and she's upset because she has been used to the way things were. She doesnt know how to put herself to sleep (since she's always been rocked in a stroller or held in the arms of my babysitter).
Any advice for forming this new routine for the baby - or letting her cry is right? Do I go in at all and calm her down and put her back in the crib? Will she figure out how to sleep in the crib on her own now?
