K.S.
Starting at 12 weeks I put my kids on a PDF schedule (Growing Kids Gods Way technique), it is a rotating 3 hour schedule. Eat, play, sleep. This order is very important so you do not have to entertain a hungry baby. The play can be from 5 mins to 1 hour, depending on the age of the child. Once they are 6 months I introduce cerial, I add it to the lunch feeding, so there is time for allergy reactions before I put them to bed for the night. This schedule has allowed my kids to sleep solid through the night at 3 months old (except for teething times) and allowed me the freedom to leave the kids with daddy (since I nurse for the first year), I know when they need to eat again. I keep this routine up until about 1 year ro 18 months, since the need the sleep to help them grow.
